The prognosis

MANIFESTO

From Pandagon:

[F]or the next 4-8 years ... right wingers will just blatantly lie about Obama, Drudge will post links, and the morons in the mainstream media will repeat the lies without doing basic fact-checking. Which will be left to Media Matters. Great.

With people like hideous fathead Rush hoping that Obama's tenure is a failure, this seems like a pretty safe prediction.
