New York Post: New York Times’ Obama cheerleading harms the nation |
"STOP THE PRESS " |
| “ |
[....] Still,
before he rides off into that sunset of
self-pity and low poll ratings, he ought to invite his remaining
friends over for a heart-to-heart. That way he can tell The New York
Times that its fanatical support does him no favors. Instead, it feeds his arrogance and reinforces his belief that he can
solve any problem with another speech. The unflattering truth doesn't
stand a chance — until it is too late.
Not that the president would admit any of that, of course, but the Obama Protection Racket, led by the Times, cuts both ways. It is a key reason he has defied political gravity for so long, and also why he is now in deep trouble. As watchdogs became lapdogs, the presidential bubble grew impenetrable, isolating him from ordinary Americans and the trickle-down pain of his policies. From the broadcast networks to MSNBC and most large papers, Obama got the benefit of every doubt. The double standards were a daily disgrace so routine, they mostly provoked a shrug instead of outrage. The ObamaCare debacle is the exception that proves the rule. Wall-to-wall complaints are forcing the media to report that the law’s Web site is a lemon and that its rules are causing millions of people to lose insurance plans they liked. The mainstream media is acting only because the story is too big to ignore. Had it been mildly skeptical sooner, it could have exposed the law’s destructive rules and prevented the disaster.
