Throughout his presidency, the media criticized President Bush for not being articulate.

Throughout his campaign and currently, the media compliments President Obama for his "superior" oratory skills.

1.  Why do you think that the media does not find newsworthy the fact that President Obama will possibly have a small computer screen installed into his podium at the White House, which will allow his aides to indicate whom to call on, seat placement for journalists, and to pass along notes or points to hit?  (Would this information change your opinion of President Obama's oratory skills?)

2.  Mr. Blumer asks:  "How can it be that such a 'brilliant' guy needs 'notes on points to hit' and other high-tech help, when the supposedly dim-witted Bush somehow survived without them? ... And what are the chances that the White House press corps will notice and report on this development at Obama's next briefing?"
What do you think? Is the press doing their job by reporting differently on a President they admire compared to a president they did not like?
