I'm sorry I wasn't very specific. I didn't mean to imply that the media ONLY covers things that the white house wants them to.
Of course they cover other things, but it seems that the lead stories, the op-eds and all the frontpage headlines come straight from the white house press releases. Talk radio and cable news read straight from the press release. They all cover the same thing every day.
No, I don't think I'm jumping to conclusions. It's all pretty blatant and obvious if you can see and/or hear.
