Throughout history, the sign of a free society is that free press has always attacked with extreme prejudice those in office. The most unsettling facet of our current media trend is that it is IDENTICAL to the state run press coverage of Saddam, Stalin, and Castro. Throughout history brutal dictators are fashioned by state run media to be really nice guys- you know just like you and me.
Diving deeper into this fawning (and creepy) trend, since the election there is little more than propaganda oozing from websites formerly run by journalists. We've already seen the puppy coverage and even though the young dog isn't lactating they'll be milking that story until June at least.
I don't recall a single line of fawning coverage for Ma Bush; even more still they went after Nancy Reagan like a member of the occult, but they're lining up to make a folksy icon of bitter half Michelle Obama.
Parallels to mass murderers aside, the media got Obama elected, now they seem to be doing everything in their power to distract the country from the issues at hand. Fox news is even cashing in with this story on the horrid inconvenience of Secret Service security coverage in the neighborhood. How troublesome for the Rezco's next door!!!
Meanwhile unemployment hit 6.5% and the trillion dollar shit sandwich Bush and congress just served up is doing zilch to jump start the economy. During his first post election address on the economy When asked if he was going to raise taxes in the first hundred days- Obama changed the subject- AND THEY COMPLETELY LET HIM OFF THE HOOK!!! I think they went on to talke about Barack's jump shot.
Watch as this trend unfolds. One has to wonder if we're going to get national addresses of the Messiah shooting hopes and being folksy (just like Jimmy Carter) while America goes down the tubes with 60-90% tax rates for corporations and small businesses making over 120k a year.
