While conservatives like Rick Santorum were often cast as radical or weird, journalists lovingly fawned over President Obama as if he was still the rock star of Campaign 2008. Sherri Shepherd, co-host of ABC's The View, won our "Let Us Fluff Your Pillow Award," for obsequious Obama interviews, after a September 25 encounter in which Shepherd seemed intent on casting the President as the Romancer-in-Chief.
Barely six weeks before Election Day, Shepherd used valuable network airtime to giddily inquire about the Obamas' love life: “President Obama, are you a romantic kind of husband? ...I heard that there’s a plaque in Chicago. It marks the site of your first kiss. Tell us about that first kiss.”
She asked Michelle Obama: "You guys have a ritual where, now, First Lady, you go to bed at 10:00 in the evening. Your husband comes to bed at 1:00 in the morning. But you have a ritual where he tucks you in at night. What is that?”

While Williams and his journalist cohorts were eager to tout Obama's 2011 success, they were just as determined to minimize the story of how in 2012 the administration bumbled the handling of the terrorist attack which killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11.
In the days after the attack, Team Obama wrongly insisted that the attack was the result of a "spontaneous" demonstration over a YouTube video seen as insulting Islam. Those claims were widely discredited by late September, but on October 22 -- twelve days after even Obama's own State Department admitted that there never was a protest in Benghazi that night -- MSNBC's Chris Matthews bullied a young voter who said he was supporting Romney because "he doesn’t cover up scandals in the Middle East.”
Matthews demanded to know: "What was the scandal?...Get to it, nail it, what was the scandal?!”
The young man told Matthews: "He [Obama] said it was the video. It was not about the video," only to have the MSNBC host smugly (and wrongly) replied: "It was about the video. Read the newspaper....Everybody knows it’s about the video. It’s all about the video." Matthews' loyal recitation of obviously false talking points earned him the "The Move Along, Nothing to See Here Award," for burying Obama's Benghazi scandal.
