Even for the MSM lackeys and lickspittles who embraced the “narrative” of hope and change, the public recovery from their hangover is a brutal thing to watch.
“Hello, my name is Anderson Cooper and I’m an Obamaholic.”
David Axelrod‘s media buddies and their parent companies are paying a terrible price for their slavish, disgraceful. unprofessional and in-the-tank “coverage” of the 2008 presidential election. And so are the rest of us — with the loss of our First Amendment freedoms as represented by the press’s unfettered ability to tell the story.
Not the “narrative” — the story.
Who’ll be the next major media figure to get up in front of the American public group and accept the 12-step program?
Which will be the first media company to sue the government, citing the First Amendment — or better yet, to ignore the strictures completely, deliberately violate them and risk jail time in order to re-assert the primacy of the First Amendment? Or is this how freedom of the press dies — by its own inanition?
“We’re not the enemy here,” says Cooper.
