Why Does the msm Carry Water for B.O.?

I do not think that I could care less what Mitt Romney paid in taxes.  I am certain that he earned it.  Every penny of it in one legal way or another.  I am also certain that he has gobs more money than I do.  Speak the truth and shame the devil, as my Dad would have said. ( The irony of that is not lost on those that knew him)
But why is the main stream media simply obsessed with it? Not passing fancy, wouldn't it be nice to know, but digging through his Mother's trash obsessed.  These people are amazed that their credibility is
in the toilet, and blames it on those FNC watching mouth breathers.  I watch Fox News when I have to get information from the television.  I believe that in their quest to be balanced-they give too much time to liberal idiots-Alan Colmes, anyone?
But saying that, I don't care what Romney paid in taxes.  I am certain that B.O. has had his minions( msm) comb every resource legal and illegal to find any dirt that they can.  If something had been found, you can believe that I would hear about it, even in my separated from the television state.
Why is it that they can trace the family roots of the guy in charge back to the days of slavery, and yet they cannot lay hands on one transcript from his college?  Have you heard an interview with one person that knew B.O. back in the day?  One chick that used to date him? Nope. It's as if he suddenly appeared in a crowd and the msm doesn't think that is note worthy at all.
They even came up with a term for me: birther.  I wear the label with pride.  The same morons that told me they knew more than I did when it came to the guy with his finger on nuclear weapons will not do one hour's worth of investigating on where this guy went to school, how he paid for it, or any of the information that Sheriff Joe Arpaio has turned up questioning the validity of the made for tv birth certificate and selective service card that B.O finally presented for the public. It seems like a pretty valid question, to me any how.
Ask yourself why that is.  Granted, if B.O. were to be exposed as ineligible, that puts crazy Joe in charge.  Maybe that's why the media won't do their jobs.  Of course, that would be more believable if they weren't caught on mic sceming to catch Romney is a verbal trap.
Just tell me the things that happened today, media people.  Don't tell me if it is good or bad, or if I need to know it.  Just tell me the facts and I'll sort out their importance to myself.
Ask the same of your news sources.  You'll thank me later.
