Where's the criticism?

The results of the 2008 election clearly show a shift in America from the conservative politics of George W. Bush to a more liberal set of American values. With numbers like a 2-to-1 Electoral College advantage, a pickup of between five and eight seats in the Senate, and anywhere between 20 and 25 seats in the House of Representatives, this shows a very large rejection of conservatism, and dare I say it, a mandate for liberals in American politics, but also a mandate for a change in Washington, D.C. and not just inside the beltway politics as usual. The results show that a large part of the American people want liberal change brought to Washington and have rejected conservatism for now.

But you would not know it from all the talk in the media. Everywhere you look, Obama is being praised for assembling a team of rivals that have opposing view points. This is good for forming ideas, but the members of the media are ignoring the fact that Obama ran on a platform of ideas from the left, and not from the center.

The fact that the media is completely ignoring this fact, and that you never see anyone on major networks criticizing Obama from the left just goes to show how afraid they are of debate, and how much their corporate interests rule what they do.

I have heard almost no criticizm from anyone on Obama keeping Gates, a prominent Republican around, no complaints about Hillary Clinton, and no complaints about anyone else. And it's making me sick.
