Michelle won’t run.

Media is lazy.
News changed in 2009. The first black US President is a story of a lifetime. Obama has qualities that draw people in. He is eloquent, charismatic. Liberals in the media love him. They didn’t want to cloud the world’s perception of the first black president. When the Obama White House made a statement, media delivered it to their audience. They didn’t question motivations. They became a propaganda tool. The opinion panels ran wild to fill time because experts didn’t want to publicly go against first black president. Who funds the experts? Government does in some form or fashion. Experts didn’t want to piss their boss off. Foxnews used retired military experts to constructively inform audience of all sides of issue. CNN added more opinion panelists. Popular opinionated people started own shows. They put on the talk host hat, but audiences still view them as journalists.
The media got lazy during the Obama years. They ditched their reliable sources list. They stopped journalism techniques because ratings dipped if coverage examined to how and why questions. Take any story based on WH statement. It starts with “the President announced….” then 20 minute opinion panel who agree with statements, tell audience why it’s monumental, necessary, and correct. After years of war stories, the audience became addicted to the blue pill haze-safely tucked a fuzzy warm blanket. The media stayed the course because it really didn’t matter any more. Hillary would be first woman president for next 8 years, then maybe Michelle or Oprah would be first black woman president for 8 years. Most media types in journalism would retire on huge pensions by then. Who cares, right?
