More reflections on the first 4 years, and how it's now just more of the same:
Looking back on Obama’s presidency, I don’t remember seeing much in the press about high unemployment or high gas prices. Oh, sure, the media reports on the jobs number when they come out and occasionally mentions high gas prices. What I haven’t seen, however, are the personal interest, tug-at-your-heart kind of reports that the media does when there is a Republican President. You know what I mean. They interview unemployed people who tell you how tough things are for them. They have a hard time making ends meet. Their house may be foreclosed on. They may have to start eating dog food – or maybe even eat the dog. That kind of thing.
And what about reporters talking to people at gasoline pumps who say they are having a difficult time because prices are so high? “Just going back and forth to work costs me $10 or $15,” says one of the drivers. “That’s nothing,” says another. “I can’t even fill my tank. It’s too much money. I have to buy $20 or $30 worth at a time.”
And when will the media note that the inflation rate doesn’t include food and energy prices. Anyone who shops can tell you food prices have increased dramatically. So, where are the reporters in grocery stores showing the prices now and comparing them to the prices three or four years ago? And how about talking to some of the shoppers to get their sad stories about high food costs?
It reminds me of the horrible homeless problem we had when Bush 41 was president. The media regularly showed people sleeping in cardboard boxes or pushing around shopping carts with all their belongings in them. Then Clinton became president and guess what? All the homeless people disappeared. What a coincidence, eh?
And just imagine if this Benghazi incident had happened under George W’s watch. The media would have been all over it. They’d have camped out in front of the White House, the State Department and the CIA until they got some real answers. Where are the young Woodwards and Bernsteins that brought Nixon down and tried to do the same with Reagan in the Iran-Contra affair? Why aren’t they getting to the bottom of the Benghazi cover up?
I’ve been a news junkie since I was a teenager and I have never seen the media so much in the tank for any politician. For the past six years, the MSM has run interference for Obama at every turn. They put him into office in 2008 and want to do it again this year. It’s reached a point where they have no shame. They no longer even try to make the pretense of objective reporting.
