13. It is becoming less and less important what the press thinks
They're being painted as toadies, cronies, power hungry clowns who get WAY too close to their sources, and they are totally compromised. The print media, especially. Armstrong Williams, Bob Novak, Miller, Woodward, and now Viveca Novak. The television media is a bit schizophrenic about it, alternating between unquestioning, simplistic reportage and fawning, but they are also starting to introduce that curious thing called BALANCE into the equation. For every drooling Tweety, there's a David Gregory hauling up the bullshit flag. Even Anus in the Morning is hauling the Monkey over the coals in a really BRUTAL fashion; and that is a new direction for him.

And the counter-arguments seem to resonate more with the American people, and that is good for our team! Finally, the sentiment of the PEOPLE is being introduced into the news equation--guess corporate media pigs figure that they can't get any advertising revenue if everyone turns off their TV...
