Obama Unsatisfied With Endless Fawning Press Coverage
From the department of “You’re kidding, right?”
Time Magazine writes:
“Calling ‘Em Out: The White House Takes on the Press”
“The take-no-prisoners turn has come as a surprise to some in the press, considering the largely favorable coverage that candidate Obama received last fall and given the President’s vows to lower the rhetorical temperature in Washington and not pay attention to cable hyperbole. Instead, the White House blog now issues regular denunciations of the Administration’s critics, including a recent post that announced “Fox lies” and suggested that the cable network was unpatriotic for criticizing Obama’s 2016 Olympics effort.”
To be fair, as of November of 2008, Obama had only been on the cover of Time Magazine 23 times.
The editor of Newsweek called Obama “God” last June but that doesn’t count because he said “sort of.”
The Obama Administration saying they’re “taking on the media” is like the Beatles saying they’re “taking on crazed teenyboppers.”
Please.
