Here’s another reason that the mainstream news media is becoming less trustworthy all the time. The free press has forgotten the reason they exist – to be a balancing voice and to question. Instead we get this Newsweek editor Evan Thomas in full-blown Obama-infatuation declaring:
“I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above above the world, he’s sort of god.”
Above the country? What happened to government of the people, for the people and by the people? He is not above us, he works for us. We, the people.
Above the world? Well, he has spent more time abroad than any president in his first few months, he courts enemy governments by sacrificing our friends, perhaps he feels above it all.
He’s sort of god? This may be the job he was aiming for all along.
With the free press incapable of any objectivity, doesn’t this leave Obama pretty much free to do anything without possibility of censure or criticism? Is this good for our country?
