Slobbering all over

Strike three eight “ "Never in my memory were so many journalists so intent on effecting change as they were during the campaign of 2008. Sure, mainstream journalists always root for the Democrat. But this time it was different. This time journalists were not satisfied merely being partisan witnesses to history. This time they wanted to be real players and help determine the outcome. This time they were on a mission, a noble, historic mission, as far as they were concerned. In fact, I could not remember a time when so many supposedly objective reporters had acted so blatantly as full-fledged advocates for one side-and without even a hint of embarrassment." From Bernard Goldberg's  A Slobbering Love Affair Two incidents yesterday made me recall that clip from A Slobbering Love Affair.  First,   this Jonathan Alter Tweet criticizing Obama for delivering what even Liberals are calling the worst speech ever given.       Just cheerleading BO doesn't help him. He needs a sharper, more cogent message with some memorable lines. I ain't walking my criticism back  This is beyond lacking objectivity. It signals that this journalist has passed into another plane.  One where blatant sycophancy is the given standard, and objectivity requires explication. Listen to him.  It never crosses his mind that he has fouled —   do journalists have a Hippocratic oath equivalent?  To observe some code of professionalism? To at least do no harm?  Goldberg's observation in spades. The second is HBO's apology for "putting George W. Bush's head on stake in 'Game of Thrones'"  This is more of the same.  Time Warner (HBO) are apologizing for slipping up.  Forgetting that some of their (paying) viewers actually voted for Bush, twice, and think he was by and large a decent man.  HBO's (indeed, Time Warner's) lock-step liberal  workplace culture means that thought never entered their brain holes.  I suspect that a memo, reminding them about cable viewers deciding how to cut expenses, ahem,  may have played some role in this mea culpa. I don't know what's in the future, but I do sense something extraordinary in the air.  I think Obama's entire house of cards, and that certainly includes the news and culture media, is near collapse.  Could be the Democrat's 1974 in reverse.  Only worse. Much worse. Or, for others - USA UAS USA! ”
