Is the media exaggerating the economic crisis in order to make Obama look good like O'Reilly/Rove are saying?

Please state facts for your argument for and against.

From what I understand Bill O'Reilly is part of the media.

What Bill is suggesting here is that every journalist has gotten together and conspired (apparently without him) to spin the news to make Obama look good and Bush bad, this is absurd, he has no fact of this. He also chooses to overlook what what exactly has gotten America into such a rough economic position, he's ignoring fact and making up conspiracies, all to the largest news audience on TV.

He is also asking this to Karl Rove, the architect of the Bush Administration, there is no Obama representative to balance the discussion. Rove essentially does his best to paint Bush in a nice light, because it's his own legacy at stake, horrible choice for a guest for such a question, but that's the Fox News "No Spin Zone" for you.

The University of Indiana used propaganda analysis techniques and studied over 100 segments of Bill O'Reilly and concluded..

http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/5535.html
"What the IU researchers found in their study, "Villains, Victims and Virtuous in Bill O'Reilly's 'No Spin Zone': Revisiting World War Propaganda Techniques," was that he was prone to inject fear into his commentaries and quick to resort to name-calling. He also frequently assigned roles or attributes -- such as "villians" or downright "evil" -- to people and groups.

Using analysis techniques first developed in the 1930s by the Institute for Propaganda Analysis, Conway, Grabe and Grieves found that O'Reilly employed six of the seven propaganda devices nearly 13 times each minute in his editorials. His editorials also are presented on his Web site and in his newspaper columns."

The media have an agenda that overrides making Obama look good-- ratings. A crisis of any sort will drive attention to the media, and therefore they have a vested interest in keeping a crisis "live" and pressing.
