Halperin’s MSNBC suspension latest example of White House press tampering
The Zero’s thin skin is sadly laughable. He gets an easy ride, a sweet deal, a pass on all his gaffe, blunders, lies, equivocations, and outright illegal acts from the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind, for the most (99%) part. But when some uppity ‘porter slips off the plantation for a comment or two, Katie bar the door! All ahead, guns blazing! Whip out another Big Lie and trumpet it from the mountaintops!
The article lists seven (of many) cases where The Zero or one of his surrogates have attempted to directly accuse people in “alternative media” (not completely collectivized into the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind) of false reporting, and making such accusations in a public forum, then says “Bush did it too,” citing ONE case where Ed Gillespie wrote a letter (a private communication that the receiver chose to make public) to NBC refuting specific points in its coverage of Middle Eastern foreign policy.
You see, apparently to The Daily Caller, there’s a moral equivalence between multiple cases of disingenuous public propaganda and one case of private communication of reasoned arguments and facts. THAT’S called “reporting” in the Hivemind… Even when some things that are true get said, they MUST get “balanced” with disingenuity.
