And three articles written by three big names in today's Washington Post -- all negative.

Towards President Obama they focus on taxes spending cuts and the debt.

In my opinion may be.

The tide is turning on the president let's bring in Tim Graham from the Media Research Center Tim.

Look this is opinion of -- and I think that the media in lockstep adoration of the president.

I think that's coming to an end what -- you.

I would say that there is appear it right now after Politico did this article saying Obama the puppet master what a masterful manipulator the press and now we've had sort of this.

Squabble this week over whether Bob Woodward was threatened.

I think it does have the news media think it while we don't wanna look like we're.

Easily manipulated but if you actually watch the coverage this week of the sequester.

You saw a lot of easy manipulation they they really did show a lot of panic this week.

And they really didn't make any space you know maybe 10% of their space.

For the idea that you know this probably isn't that bad.

This isn't that big a deal I'm -- predictions if you agree with -- in the next week establishment media is going to be.

Well I think we have -- probably see some worst economic news you know at what we went through the entire 2012 election campaign without them really talking about the debt.

Without them really talking about the idea that every deficit under President Obama has been over a trillion dollars.

You know there's a lot of ways in which the news media think that Obama's historic in a wonderful way.

That's not one of them and yet this is not the history that they're talking about.

But really isn't really what -- discussion about what today we got the news of the worst drop.

In disposable income in an actual possible think the worst drop since in January since 1959.

What are they on an all gonna do anything -- the -- -- Norma.

I think they'll downplay it I mean I I was listening to NPR -- drive in this morning and they went right -- -- well it's -- -- after Christmas and you know that will will get out of this just -- I wish you could tell -- otherwise I wish we see -- in the Obama of the president and his media failing school and I'm innocent I Tim thank you very much indeed for being with us we --
