Upon extensively following the elite medias coverage of the recent presidential inauguration a few basic observations became blatantly apparent.
Fundamentally it is clear that the media has profoundly influenced how the public thinks and feels about our president elect. Although not undeserving, President Obama is universally and blindly loved by the people and the media just as the untouchable civil rights figures of the past. This claim is obvious when examining the media's coverage of the inauguration and the days leading up to it. Not only does the media generally always bestow the light of hope and good faith upon Obama, they also negligently compare him to historical figures beyond criticism: JKF, MLK, even Moses.

I think it is extremely this tautology factor that the media advances in its coverage. I think that your anaylsis is correct. However, I wonder if President Obama could stop this cult-like worship if he wanted to, I'm just curious.
