[a fool in paradise]

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

The lack of reaction to a New York Times report filed by Jeremy Peters on July 15 and found on the front page of the its July 16 print edition has, at least to me, been nothing short of stunning.

....

What Peters told readers, in essence, is that White House officials, the Obama administration in general, the Obama for America campaign, the campaign of presidential challenger Mitt Romney (though the evidence Peters provided is thin and seems to relate largely to the candidate’s family), and powerful Washington politicians on Capitol Hill are dictating what the press will print concerning their nonpublic statements and remarks — and that the press is, for the most part, acquiescing with little if any objection.

The same as when Mark Halperin at ABC News (now at Time-Lies) said that both sides would not be held to the same standards.

ABCNEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR MEMO SPARKS CONTROVERSY: BOTH SIDES NOT 'EQUALLY ACCOUNTABLE'

And these are the same presstitute Stalinists who will be moderating the debates.

Is this something like voluntary prior restraint? Is that possible? Could they be that short sighted?

Seems the press has has a death wish - they've decided in favor of suicide for their profession.
