We get a nice news article on the MOTHER of the BOYFRIEND of the VP CANDIDATE's DAUGHTER, yet, we got not one shred of coverage of Obama's former cocaine habit during the election or that he has been unable to quit smoking (how do we know whether he has been able to quit doing blow?)

Do you think Obama is still using?

This is why newspapers are dying. They don't report news. They report what supports their political agenda.


The people are slowly learning how bad the media is. They may be able to hang on with their partisan hack ways for another decade or so.

Inode, > or that he has been unable to quit smoking

I remember the mainstream media making a big deal over the number of hours George W. Bush spent working out while in office:

articles.latimes.com

Yet Obama works out 45 minutes a day, six days a week:

guardian.co.uk

This among other things landed him on the cover of Men's Health magazine, which IMO is well-deserved. But why not Bush?
