This Fawning NBC News Article on Pete Buttigieg is Worse Than a Glorified Press Release....
Mediaite ^ | 29 Apr 2019 | Caleb Howe

Data geek Mayor Pete is a leader. He is data-driven. Really smart. He’s brash. And dynamic. Bold. Has the best education in the world. He has fancy degrees, but the confidence to govern with heart, and the brain to govern with data.

It may seem like that is an exaggerated description, but all of that is taken from this single NBC News article about 2020 Democratic hopeful Pete Buttigieg. And those are just the words in isolation, they can’t really convey the depth of the hagiography posted as news by NBC on this candidate.

It would be passé, even quaint, to note that you won’t see such fawning over any Republican. Not now, nor in the last 20 years — from NBC News. Even when the network was rebuilding John McCain’s reputation (after tearing it down while he was running against Barack Obama), they still found plenty with which to bash him or caveat their praise. So rather than the old-fashioned “would they write this about a Republican” rhetorical question, just consider whether even establishment, old-school Democrats would get the same puffery (in a primary). Can you imagine NBC writing a headline like this about Joe Biden?

The article is written as a story – if you don’t know this, among campaign consultants and policy pitchmen in D.C. “storytelling” has been THE buzzword for how to reach voters – that tells of an heroic journey. The journey, or evolution, from smart, data-driven smart-guy to smart, data-driven but also wise and empathetic smart-candidate. Peppered with ample reminders that he uses data a lot. (From article: data geek, data-driven, data driven, looking at data, based on data, data-driven, made the data the priority, data-driven, data-driven, data and algorithms, data.)

They did the same with obozo, but it won't work with The Gay Mayor. He's flavor of the month right now, but it is not going to last.

He’s already being accused of sexual assault.

Goodbye Pete, you lasted a couple weeks longer than Beto, at least

Buttigag was in Afghanistan for only 6 months, and with the Navy Reserve? How much action could he have seen in 2014?

Also I see South Bend population is only 100,000, that’s tiny. Heck, they made fun of Sara Palin for a hell of a lot more experience.

You could see more action on the south side of Chicago on any Saturday night.
