Media Starts Blaming American People for Dems' Troubles


TIME- How dumb do they feel now....

What’s the clearest sign the Obama agenda is in trouble? That’s easy: the string of jeremiads in the pages of the New York Times, Washington Post, and other outlets of fashionable opinion. Unable to tout the administration’s successes, and worried about Republican ascendancy, liberals have assigned responsibility for the mess they’re in neither to their program nor to their methods but to larger, structural faults in American politics and society. Beginning with you.

You aren’t too bright, for one thing. After all, opines Jacob Weisberg in Newsweek, the “biggest culprit” behind “our political paralysis” is the “childishness, ignorance, and growing incoherence of the public at large.” You simply do not know what’s good for you. “On many issues these days,” writes the Washington Post’s Steven Pearlstein, “the American people are badly confused.” “The people may have spoken,” writes the New -Yorker’s James Surowiecki. “It’s just not clear that they’re making any sense.” In a blog post titled “Too Dumb to Thrive,” Time magazine’s Joe Klein cuts to the chase: “It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you’re a nation of dodos.”

The problem, as Weisberg sees it, is that America “simultaneously demands and rejects action on unemployment, deficits, health care, and other problems.” Note the myopia. For Weisberg, the only conceivable “action” on any issue is limited to the policy preferences of liberal Democrats. No other options spring to mind. READ MORE...

  1. Joe Kline and the socialist media have it partially right when they claim it's a nation of dodos---how can it not be so, their reasoning goes, when there is a Messiah amongst us, and the majority of people are to stupid to realize it.

    The problem with the progressives is that they have it inverted----is it not strange that a judicious reader is apt to say upon the perusal of these wonderful newspaper men, that their readership audience is being treated with scorn and renowned lies, which have spread and flourished to such monstrous heights that they are being abandoned even by the vulgar.

    Here is where they have it wrong---the only one's buying their worthless and offensive tripe are the people who are extremely ignorant and stupid and ready to swallow even the grossest delusions.

    Fools are industrious in propagating the maligant turd in the White house, while the wise and learned are contented in general to deride that absurdity in Washington.

    The best is yet to come----we are witnessing the death of the progressives, as their former status dissipates into a vapor of fumes and the protestations of the socialist media fall on an ever decreasing audience.

  2. Ah!!! the diminishing authority of the prodigies in the press----

    The presses Messiah----is opposed by an infinite number of witnesses, not only to the miracle that destroys the credit of Obama's testimony, but of the the testimony that destroys Obama himself.

    Settle into your favorite chair and get out the popcorn---the entertainment of the expiring progressives commies is going to be priceless.

  3. The main stream media cannot blame their own creation for the failure of this administration, so it will have to be others that will take the fire. I know it is not politically correct but to hell with it "Down with tyranny".

  4. ABC news to cut staff. The New York Times puts the figure at up to 400 employees.

    ABC news is undergoing a fundamental transformation Mr. Westin said----(translation,) Obama's policies are starting to get to close to home---nobody is safe from the AX----some of the Obama flunkies are starting to connect the dots, and are experiencing job insecurity---in the long run nobodies head is safe from the chopping block----once the majority of the lefty flunkies see the big picture, all hell is going to break lose---

    This is an easy prediction-----as the left get's caught up in the vortex of unemployment, who do you think will get crucified---(their False Messiah), that's who----the malevolent malignant turd will be pinched by 2 forces, the right and the left----justice will be metered out to the most despicable person in America. It will only provide a small consolation for all the people who lost their jobs because of this worthless human being, but it will at least be a start to a re-booting of this country.
