“Filter-Free News”= Obama’s Propaganda Machine
According to an article on Politico.com, this morning, Obama has launched a strategy of “filter-free” news. As John Stossel would say, “Give me a break!” He wants left-leaning news, that will support his left-leaning (now, there’s the understatement of the century!) agenda. I guess the MSM hasn’t been doing enough fawning over The One, so he’s just going to talk to those press outlets that will keep declaring their love for Him.
President Obama, I didn’t realize you were so needy. What kind of (wo)man are you? You’re the leader of the free world and you can’t handle being questioned. When forced to step away from you teleprompter, are you only comfortable talking to those who agree with you? You are much weaker than I thought.
What exactly is filter-free news? Is that where you just provide your talking points and we all accept them with the blind faith that you have so obviously become accustomed to?
He is not looking for “filter-free” news. He is looking for a pat on the back from the people who should be putting him under the most scrutiny. In short, he is looking for a propaganda machine.
Politico claims his honeymoon with the press is over, and that now it is turning into a hazing. I wouldn’t say that his honeymoon with the MSM is over, just yet. Let’s see how his second primetime news conference goes before we declare the press unimpressed.
Predictably, he’ll call on the reporters that were selected in advance, and then be asked questions that were pre-approved. This all screams of a free press and legitimate democracy!
Unfortunately, I have a prior engagement this evening that will keep me out most of the night. In the interest of full disclosure, yes, that prior engagement is a Britney Spears concert.
I will DVR the lecture press conference, though, and try to get my thoughts and responses up tomorrow morning. If there’s much left to say that hasn’t already been covered by the blogosphere. Who wants to be more white noise? Not me. In today’s racial climate, who even wants to be white?

Your picture certainly shows plenty of skin, but .. it mostly shows conspicuous consumption, and she doesn’t look happy.
And I can *not* wait for Barack Hussein Obama’s script writer to write the Teleprompter’s memoirs of the Obama White House.
You mentioned about Obama being needy. I think a phrase from “Bourne Identity” might fit, “I think you might have wandered a bit past your pay-grade.” Or the line from “Bourne Supremacy” about being in a puddle, and not having the boots for it.

Only The Like-Minded Are Worthy…
President Obama’s White House has a genius new media strategy – let’s talk only to those who won’t scrutinize our words!
Like that’s not the default media setting already.
How difficult can it be to keep an eye on those pesky F…
