First Among Media Lapdogs
Brian Williams. NBC anchor. Douchebag.
The man is incredibly vain. Look at him striking the pose. How long did he practice getting those eyebrows to form just the right arc?
This evening, June 2, Williams and NBC began their slobberfest “Inside the White House.” Ostensibly, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at goings-on in the corridors of power.
In reality, it’s the latest episode of the media’s new job – conducting PR work propaganda on behalf of Obama.
Remember mustardgate? The point there was not that POTUS likes Dijon mustard on his burgers (freak), but that the press omitted this detail from their reports, out of fear that it might harm his carefully constructed image, and, more importantly, that his eating a burger was even reported in the first place – BECAUSE IT’S NOT NEWS.
Remember also Obama’s smoking addiction? Oh, that’s right, you don’t. Because the media never mentioned it.
Likewise, why was he not openly mocked, à la the 43rd president, for claiming that Austrian is a language, that the US comprises 57 states and for denigrating the Special Olympics?
How about Obama’s links to racists, terrorists and criminals? These were too serious for the press to ignore totally, but they nevertheless could (and did) relegate them to minor pieces.
The mainstream media will not allow even one perfect hair on its golden goose to be harmed.
And if that entails the suppression of facts both small and large, then it must only be for our own good.
Trust them.
[PS - I spent an hour cutting my toenails this evening, rather than watching Williams fawn all over Obama and brother of douchebag.]
