This media lovefest of denial has got to stop. Does any “reporter” or whatever they fancy themselves have integrity? Or even a semblance of a grasp on reality?
Have they always been like this? I only got involved last January and only then because of the obvious barry bias. What I would like to know is if they really believe the crap they write or they’re doing it because they don’t have any choice. Because if they tell the truth at this point the world will see how corrupted and ridiculous they look.
It’s too late. Eighteen months too late.
Here’s Michael Wolff over at Vanity Fair – something I’ve never read. And after reading his words – which made my skin crawl – I won’t ever again. He prattles on with jagged excessive words about what a genius sarcastic “I don’t know – I’ll get back to you” Robert Gibbs is. It made me wonder if he was writing it in the bathroom with only one hand on the keyboard.
I won’t even dissect the article because the tone of the words is too creepy. Here’s just a few quotes.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs seems to be in total control of the media.
When did this become news?
It’s been that way since at least March 3, 2008 when the obamerized man-loving press allowed barry to walk away after answering like, 8 questions, already. They were completely corrupted at that point and I argue that Gibbs had nothing to do with it. The press were willingly and knowingly entrenched in a pathological glazed-eye crush of a man they knew nothing and still don’t know anything about.
They chose to become corrupted and have remained so. Polls have proven it and the media has even admitted it – laughing all the way ha-ha-ha.
Folks like Mark Halperin and Tony Blankley, with his dismissive reference to “weird little internet sites”, went on record just to go on record. They did nothing in the heat of the battle. They did nothing when it could have mattered.
What good are their words after the fact?
The national press corps is barrymedia. MSNBC is barry TV. NEWSWEEK is the pro-barry propaganda newsletter. Kos and Huffington Post are his blogging slaves and Factcheck is completely biased – their “factchecks” ridiculously parsed – most notably the “birth certificate” that Gibbs lied about and said was online.
The mainstream media across the board have willingly chosen to embargo anything not probarry and have magnified any possible anything against his opponents/enemies/naysayers to cover up barry gaffes.
Case in point: Joe Biden made a remarkable admission about the young president being tested by a generated crisis and to just hang with them no matter what the polls say. He basically said that barry is going to need help because he’s clueless and that he – Biden – already knew what the crisis was going to be and how they were going to react.
And what does the media chooses to focus on?
The wardrobe.
Mika Mommy Brzezinski declared a “Biden attack-free zone” with Scarborough saying on air that he was going to email around to see if the media was going to run with the Biden story. Dan Rather, who one would think would be incensed, sat quietly and commented that if it was Gov Palin instead of Joe Biden it would be an above the fold story. Goebbels never had it so easy.
Historians are going to wonder what was in the water. The New York Times that Wolff mentions several times has already started admitting they willfully did not report things that could have hurt barry – surprise – like the recent ACORN revelation by Hoyt. His justification was humorous: it wouldn’t have mattered anyway.
It doesn’t matter if was a completely innocuous story. They withheld the information. They made a choice to help a candidate – something the public overwhelming believed they would do and did. They were willingly corrupted. They have lost all credibility – something they can and will never regain.
Their corruption began early on with the story about Sen McCain. And what they did to Senator Clinton was unconscionable. And despite theirs and the rest of the daily, often hourly, barrymedia attacks – Sen Clinton got the same amount of votes. He won 11 in a row and couldn’t close. He never won anything — he was anointed by the just as intentionally corrupted DNC who had put a mechanism in place to favor him.
What if it were Michigan and Florida instead of Nevada and South Carolina?
What if Sen Clinton was the one given votes decided on behind closed doors in a state where her name was never on the battl?. That little transaction forever illegitimized the primaries.
And even after he was anointed he needed Sen Clinton to stump for him. And this man of character intent on Change! and Uniting! Transcending Race! and Reaching Across the Aisle! couldn’t even reach across his own party. He didn’t even have enough integrity (self-confidence) to call off his attack dogs.
He’s never been in it just to win it. Victory means destroying his opponents – with his barrymedia assisting him the whole way. His ego, so massive he couldn’t bear to talk to his democratic predecessor. Still can’t. Says a great deal about his insecurities and gross lack of governing skills.
He did not win this election in any fashion. One-third – 8 million – eligible black voters couldn’t even be bothered to register to vote for “the first black president”. There wasn’t a “massive voter turnout” in the black community. After 8 years of Bush and with barry as the candidate only 2% more black voters turned up at the polls. And the caucuses were won in predominately white states — although Iowa got a boost from a couple of bused in barry voters.
Sen Clinton’s bitter bowling alley babes a’totin’ their guns and a’quotin their Bibles and the feminazis and those racist blue collar workers who would “never vote for a black man” and Hispanics won it for barry. Sen Clinton’s demographics. She turned them around after the convention from 58 – 85% all the while barrymedia attacking her motives and terrorizing her for mentioning the blatantly obvious sexism, gyne envy and misogyny.
How can anyone in the barrymedia think they are in any way ethical? Or for that matter even useful?
They are a complete embarrassment to the “profession” – if one still exists. Pulitzer Prize winner Mo Dowd rips off a blogger and Bob Herbert can’t even recognize the Washngton Monument.
The White House press corps doesn’t bother to ask any questions that Gibbs isn’t ready for. And if perchance they ask something meaningful – like how much did the trip to New York cost – Gibbs has no answer other than uh, uh, uh. His face gets red and forehead starts to sweat like it did when he was lying to the willing to be lied to press about why they were flown to Chicago when barry wasn’t even on the plane.
They let Gibbs get away with: “I don’t know, I’m not sure, I haven’t talked to barry about that, I don’t have my notes with me…let me check and I’ll get back to you”.
Does he?
Read or just scan the transcripts of the press briefings. All you need to do is look at three and you’ll see that day after day the press is made a fool of by Gibbs – not because he has this power or because he knows anything – but because the press allows him to. Gibbs very rarely answers the question and when he gets pressed he reverts to sarcasm, I don’t think The American People…”, sarcasm and frat boy faces. I don’t know what press briefings Wolff is watching but they’re entirely unprofessional. All that’s missing is a kegger, some strippers and strewn pizza crusts.
The headliner:
The Obamas may have the smartest, most finely calibrated press operation in White House history, parceling out scoops (The New York Times), partisan talking points (the Huffington Post), and First Family tidbits (the celebrity mags) to a desperate media. Just don’t ask them to admit it.
It’s not clear who he means by “they”.
Toward the end:
The balance of power has surely shifted—although you won’t get anyone in the White House to say that. Except every day you can read it in press secretary Gibbs’s cockiness and condescension.
And it’s that way because the press is too castrated to say it themselves. And what is the time frame of “has”? It’s been that way almost since the beginning.
And this:
There is too the Obama 30-point advantage—he’s got America eating out of his hand. Gibbs has, at least so far, an easy product to sell. And then there’s the personal insecurity on the part of members of the incredible shrinking press—their days are numbered and they know it.
Yo, Mr Wolffe – barry doesn’t have “America” eating out of his hand. You folks are mesmerized. The folks who are in touch with reality see right through barry and the press is shrinking because “America” knows that they have been corrupted and nothing they write approximates the truth. Why would they pay for fiction when they can find the truth on the internet?
Ok fifteen minutes is enough time wasted.
Time to find out why the “smartest, most finely calibrated press operation in White House history” had to demote the First Lady’s Chief of Staff. I’m sure it’s just Chicago payback for Ms Sher with the help of Valerie Jarrett getting Michelle Obama a job at U of C Medical Center (turning away indigents from the ER so they could make more money) and then getting her a $195,052 raise [$121,910 to $316,962] 2 months after barry was sworn in as senator. I guess since barry couldn’t come through with the $1M earmark for U of C the Mrs had to handle it herself. Just like a former Mayor Daley staffer and daughter of a precinct captain knows how to do.
Pay to play at it’s most obvious. Just like Burris buying his senate seat directly from her husband
