If you watched MSNBC"s "The Daily Rundown" Monday, you might have been shocked to hear a panel of liberal journalists say some uncomplimentary things about Barack Obama's presidency.
With his job approval polls falling, the economy in first gear, incomes in decline, inflation on the rise, good jobs in short supply, and a thicket of administration scandals, the news media has begun to turn against Obama. And it isn't mincing words.
Carolyn Ryan, the New York Times Washington bureau chief, bluntly talked about "the national funk we're in, the sort of national malaise," as in Jimmy Carter-type malaise.
The foreign policy debacle in Iraq, where well-armed terrorist armies are close to bringing down its government, and "this crisis on the [Texas] border does go to this question of competence," Ryan said.
"I feel like it can be a negative for President Obama where it seems like so many things in this country just aren't working," she added.
NBC's chief political analyst Chuck Todd, the host of MSNBC's morning program, readily agreed. "Boy, you can see that 30-second TV ad, right? You start with the health care rollout, you go to the VA, you go to Syria, you go to Iraq, and you can go to the border. You can draw a straight line," he said.
