Seeing a pattern yet, anyone?
Harsanyi on our whining-pussy King’s ill-advised vendetta against the Enemies of the State:
So what is the underlying rationale for this hypersensitive strategy of trying to de-legitimize the voice of cable opposition? “We’re doing what we think is important to make sure news is covered as fairly as possible,” a White House official explained to Politico.
It’s about time someone charged the White House with the task of “making sure” news coverage is “fair.” It’s “important” work, you see. After all, who better than the executive branch — supposedly in the business of representing the entire nation — to decide whether a station qualifies as a legitimate news organization?
Then again, does biased political coverage disqualify one from reporting legitimate and useful news stories? Fox News may not be able to unsheathe the intellectual rigor of Obama favorites David Letterman and Jay Leno, but it has covered numerous stories in the past few months that would have otherwise gone unnoticed.
Which, of course, is the whole problem. Would-be tyrants in a left-wing fascist regime don’t like being exposed any more than their criminal colleagues in our Politburo do.
The funny thing to me is how tough these guys try to be on their real enemies — us — while showing their bellies and mewling at those who actually want to destroy us. Hardly anything could speak any more loudly about who and what they really are than that.
