First of all, I am not a Republican or a Democrat. I would like to think that I am from the common sense party.

I am embarrassed at what journalism has gotten to be. The mainstream media are so far into President Obama’s pocket they should pick the lint out of their teeth. Instead of asking him softball questions such as “How is the family?”or “How is the dog?” they should be asking him some serious questions, maybe about the economy or what the United States was doing in Benghazi to begin with?

Maybe it is a matter of national security but saying that is better than saying nothing and just hoping the story will go away.

The mainstream media avoid serious questions like the plague. That is not journalism; in fact, it is no better than the state-run media in communist countries.
