Dowd Admits: Democrats Expect Favorable Media

Columnist Maureen Dowd on Obama: "Like many Democrats, he thinks the press is supposed to be on his side."

Wherever could they have gotten that idea?

From Maureen Dowd's Sunday column, "Isn't It Ironic?"

The press traveling with Obama on the campaign never had a lovey-dovey relationship with him. He treated us with aloof correctness, and occasional spurts of irritation. Like many Democrats, he thinks the press is supposed to be on his side.
