The Obama Media Goosestep
I guess the who ABC thing made it official, but the mainstream media has been walking with the Obama Administration’s authorized talking points, and leaving out that which may be considered subversive.
President Barack Obama told the American Medical Association yesterday that he believes single-payer health care systems have worked “pretty well” in some countries, but no major U.S. newspaper available in the Nexis database reported the president’s comment in their news stories about the speech.
However, three of the nation’s most prestigious newspapers—the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times—did publish quotes from the president’s speech that artfully took language from both immediately before and after the president’s statement that single-payer systems work.
I have some advise for you, as this is what I do.
When the media bashes Republicans, it’s not because we are inept. It’s because we’re polling better. When they bash Sarah Palin, it’s because they know if the election were held today, she’d beat Barack Obama. And when they publish something, always assume the opposite.
