The Mainstream Media will likely give a grade for the first 100 days through the prism of their political positions. Watch for it. The way Fox assesses it will be different from MSNBC and different from CNN. The way the Wall Street Journal handles it will be different from the way the New York Times reports on it. Look beneath the covers for their editorial positions and whether it bleeds into their "objective" analysis.
Widen your reading list to include That Minority Thing, the Root and other multicultural opinion sites. Get a balanced view. Know what Limbaugh and O'Reilly think because they both influence a sizeable if shrinking number of influential voters.
See through the hypocrisy of today's shrinking newsrooms and exploding punditry to find a balanced and fair appraisal of President Barack Obama. In other words, go to the aggregators like Google News and Yahoo News !
