Here is an article from David Limbaugh from Townhall.com stating that the media strongly favor Obama and do not cover his wrongdoings:

It seems the liberal media are more concerned about Sen. Marco Rubio's
midspeech sip of water than about President Obama's State of the Union
commitment to double down on his disastrous policies.
What will
it take for once-reasonable people to become alarmed at the state of
this nation's fiscal condition, its stagnant economy and its egregious
unemployment? Is there no number of irresponsible liberal policies from
an extremist liberal president that will exceed their willingness to
tolerate? Do liberal media -- and rank-and-file Democrats, for that
matter -- believe that this recklessness can go on forever?
Knowing
President Obama's capacity for fiscal folly and for scapegoating others
for problems he's caused, even I find it hard to believe he could stand
before the nation and masquerade as a Washington outsider -- as a
crusader against the squalid conditions he is engineering and
exacerbating.
Are these media people truly engulfed in as blinding
an ideological fog as it seems? Or are they just cynical
co-conspirators in Obama's deceitful self-depiction as a model
bipartisan who is actually seeking a "balanced approach" to resolving
our fiscal crisis -- as opposed to leveraging the crisis to further
gouge the "wealthy"?
Balanced? We all know -- it's undeniable --
that we have a spending problem and that we are not taxed too little.
Our government is bloated beyond belief, and Republicans have already
joined Obama in raising the rates and reducing the deductions for the
evil ones. Yet he continues to resist meaningful entitlement reform and
real spending cuts and all the while deceives the American people with
the scandalous whopper that he has already implemented more than half
the cuts we need to "stabilize" the debt problem.
Shame on the
media for allowing him to get away with this! Shame on them for not
refuting his misrepresentations about the enormous cost and tax
increases unfolding with Obamacare.
While Obama is obstructing
solutions for real crises and manufacturing phony ones (gun control), he
is accusing Republicans of conducting "business by drifting from one
manufactured crisis to the next." No other occupant of the Oval Office
has come close to such an adolescent level of projection -- of falsely
accusing his political opponents of the very tactics he has employed.
But his cohorts in the media and elsewhere gleefully give him a pass.
They
sit silently as Vice President Joe Biden boasts that the administration
will not permit the Constitution to get in its way of imposing further
restrictions on guns. They say nothing as Obama proposes draconian
solutions for mass shootings that violate the Second Amendment, downplay
the real cause of the problems and outright ignore scientific research.
They
are mute as Obama makes his dictatorial threats to take unilateral
executive action if Republicans refuse to comply with his demands for
more business-killing programs in service to the gods of global warming.
They
dutifully disregard the inevitably negative consequences of Obama's
calls for increases in the minimum wage. At what point do these
self-congratulatory people feel a tinge of remorse for promoting
policies that harm the people they promise to help?
Are they
honestly unaware that there is a level beyond which you harm, rather
than help, people by exploding our food stamp rolls, forcing employers
to pay wages higher than they can afford, extending unemployment
benefits and legislating other transfer payments?
Does it ever
occur to them that we wouldn't need to have all these counterproductive
programs of "compassion" if our most beneficent president would quit
smothering the private sector with his onerous spending, taxes and
regulations?
Apparently not, because we see no curiosity from
them, much less any criticism, about Obama's grandiose plan for
universal preschool for every 4-year-old in the United States, while he
opposes school choice solutions to help free inner-city children from
inferior schools. We see no economic analysis that would show the
inverse relationship between the amount of money the federal government
has poured into education and the results it has produced.
I don't
expect the media to understand, let alone affirm, that it's free market
competition, not government central planning, that has created wealth
in this country, but how about a modicum of honesty from them about the
utter waste and failure of Obama's stimulus package, which he promised
would get the economy moving again?
Then again, how can we
realistically expect the leftist media to hold the perennially
unaccountable Obama to account for anything in his 2013 SOTU address
when they have wholly ignored his broken promises from past SOTU
speeches, such as his pledge to cut the deficit in half by the end of
his first term, his assurance that his stimulus plan would save or
create 3.5 million jobs in two years, his avowal that Obamacare would
result in universal health insurance coverage and his declaration that
he would create gazillions of green energy jobs?
America's liberty burns while the media fiddle.
