The reaction of the MSM to the Gruber tapes is revealing. Todays article by Chris Cillizza tries to misdirect the issue into a personality conflict between Gruber and Conservatives who he thinks are the object of Grubers charge that the American people are stupid. His article, about Gruber as catnip for conservatives tries to make the story about Conservative pique, not the fact that Gruber did something that you are never supposed to do when you pull a sting: expose the sting. A good sting never ends, but Gruber ended the ObamaCare sting. So the press, after hoping it would simply die because of lack of oxygen, is desperately trying to change the subject.
But Cilliza is wrong, not just on the focus, but also on the issue of who Gruber classified as stupid. Conservatives were always oppose to ObamaCare. And not just conservatives. ObamaCare passed without a single Republican vote. The lies and deception described by Gruber fooled only Liberals. Liberals who were fed the story the Obama administration was feeding to its media accomplices. No tax, lower cost, better coverage, no changes if you were happy.
But were Liberals in the media really fooled, or were they simply promoting the Obama/Gruber/Democrat lies because they were being Good Germans? I mean, really. What non-comatose human being believes that you can insure 30 million more people, provide more services, cover pre-existing conditions, and reduce the cost to the average family by $2500? Melissa Francis tells of being called on the carpetat CNBC for her criticism of ObamaCares math and told that she was disrespecting the office of the President.
I believe that the average reporter and editor is functionally innumerate, but that doesnt pass the smell test. Like Good Germans, the press corps knew, but didnt want to know.
So now one of the architects of the conspiracy couldnt keep his mouth shut. And the lies and deception has been uncovered, not by the complicit press that does not want to know what was really going on, but by a guy who lost his health insurance policy thanks to ObamaCare and spent hours searching the internet. Because everything that you say in public gets recorded. And citizen journalist are looking where the Good Germans of the press dont want you to go.
The MSM has been liberal for a long time, but they became fully incorporated into the regime in 2008. This may backfire a bit, though, as the regime continues to decline with popularity approaching that of dog turds by 2016.
Looks like a couple minor edits are in order if you can jump in and take care of it. This is BINGO, though. Good little lemmings indeed.
It was the Rat base the media was lying to because conservativew sweren’t fooled.
Pictured below is what the brain of the GruberCare voters in Congress looks like when examined.
Nobody has brought it up that Grubergate did not surface until after the wave election. How’s that for timing?
You have the right to be stupid and lazy with the truth, says Kerry.
Good Germans is a good term, because they too claimed conveniently they did not know about it.
brain of emotional excuses to pretend to do work.
The MSM print media was asking for a bailout in 2008.
I suspect they got one from the Left and have been bought off ever since.
There was a thread a few nights ago about Dachauans suiciding themselves (5000) when the Allies landed due not to fear of being killed, but because of their consciences.
Cilliza is now another one of the Post’s “disinformation” writers eventhough he writes in the societal/entertainment “Style” section.
He joins the other two leftist misdirectionist, smear artists, Dana Millbank and E. J. Dionne.
Their collective jobs are to misdirect, lie, coverup, smear, counterattack the truth, and to totally confuse the reader as to the truth.
Glad to see that Chincilla is being called out by a real newspaper.
The “press” is just like Barry. They get their news from the FOX New Channel.
My paper, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, had an article about how Gruber was just a person suggesting ideas to the Dims, one of many such people. Article was by Karen Tumulty in the Washing Compost.
With all the money this MIT (Marxist Institute of Tyranny) prof has made by lying for Comrade Obama, he should change his name to:
Schickelgruber or
Moneygrubber
He’s pajamaboy with a degree in lying.
Good Nazis would be better, except it is overused. I say as much because many Germans, e.g. Dietrich Bonheoffer were appalled and gave their lives while standing up for the truth.
“My paper, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, had an article about how Gruber was just a person suggesting ideas to the Dims, one of many such people. Article was by Karen Tumulty in the Washing Compost.”
If he was just a person “suggesting ideas” to the Dims, why was he paid $5 million by the government?
If he was only one of “many such people”, and Gruber alone made $5 million, what did the taxpayers pay for all of these ideas?
Gruber’s Goobers.
Good article.
