23. I think hate is too strong of a word.
The corporate media is about propaganda 24/7. They make sure their news talkers all quote the propaganda talking points or else they take their talkers huge salaries away. Pretty good incentive to keep pretending they are reporting news and not propaganda.

The corporate CEOs, and handful of uber wealthy who control our American media outlets do not hate Obama so much as they hate reality. They don't want the truth to get out because then Americans might turn on their Corporate Masters.

Under Obama and Democratic leadership, more truth gets out. They can't have that. They want another puppet they can control luke W and Raygun. They can't quite control Obama. He keeps slipping off the yoke and saying (and sometimes doing) things that are not from their propaganda approved list of talking points. Like when he announced he would work to stop the proliferation of nukes. Obama was saying something not previously approved by the uber wealthy.

The Nobel Peace Prize points this out. It emphasizes a goal that is not approved propaganda. When W and Raygun went off script they were quickly reprimanded and Cheney, Goldman Sachs, or Merrily Lynch would correct them. Both of these puppet president quickly fell back in line but Obama doesn't. The Nobel Peace Prize shows all the world that Obama is not quite the puppet the uber wealthy thought he was.

So, they don't hate him so much as disapprove of his reality.
