CNN's Fareed Zakaria: It's 'Strange' to Expect Him Not to Advise Obama and Then Praise Him on TV

Journalists in Washington don’t want just to write. They want the top government officials to take their advice, to use their wisdom to govern. Here’s what happens next: a dance between journalist and government official to build a mutually beneficial relationship. The official provides access, makes the journalist feel important and consulted, and then the journalist announces that the official is wise and is making all the right moves.

This is exactly what CNN host and Time columnist Fareed Zakaria has been doing with President Obama. He’s advising Obama (informally, of course) and then going on CNN and declaring the president’s speeches are quite good.

Fareed isn’t even an American. I don’t know why any American would really give a **** what he has to say. He’s not one of us.

Zakaria thinks American could be more innovative and create products to be built in other countries and then imported to here.

“create products to be built in other countries and then imported to here”

Isn’t that what we are doing now? Innovate here and ship the prototype overseas for manufacture.

Yep and Zakaria says we should be innovating more. I believe that is the fate of the solar panel.

Zakaria is nothing more than a biased hack writer.

He hates Israel, hates America and hates Capitalism.

This is who advises our President.
The nation has gone to the dogs.
