Picture Postcards and Its all about "ME"

I watched the news coverage of Obama's trip to Europe and Asia with my eyes wide open. I was amazed at the impact, the representation and the image this trip has give. HOWEVER, what I keep hearing on CNN, MSNBC and other outlets..."Picture postcards" and all about "ME"...
Be aware...this isn't a highly researched diary...not a lot of fancy links and pictures. Just one person's opinion about the state of today's media....and let me tell you...it is sad.
Tonight on CNN, Candy "I'm bigger than life" Crowley kept referring to Obama's trip as a "picture postcard". She is apparently upset about the limited access or the fact that she can't stick her nose in every knuck and cranny of this campaign event. She even ended her interview with "we will watch for more picture postcards"....
Then we have Andrea Mitchell...whining on MSNBC this week..."Well Keith I cannot comment on that issue because "I" was not included in the discussion. "I" was not privy to the interview...How do we know what was said when "WE" were not there...It seems like a staged interview...OK..not the exact quote but something just as whiny...Then to see her show up and "interview" Obama in a scanty tee-shirt equivalent in the Middle East (Jordon)...Maybe it's all about "her" headlines and not Obama's...
GIVE ME A BREAK... The MSM seems to think that if they are not included then it must not be news... LMAO...
OK...I'm done.
