The attacks on Bob Woodward for
daring to question Obama’s narrative on the sequester are now well known.
What is not yet so well known is
that is part of a pattern of White House intimidation of reporters and news
outlets that do not toe the line.
One instance that is now coming out that the White House threatened the
Washington Times for running columns by centrist Democrat Lanny Davis. The threat included the possibility of having
their White House credentials revoked.
One would think the White House
would be pleased with how cooperative and downright obsequious the vast
majority of the “news” media is.
But apparently only complete control of the media would please The Dear
Leader.
White House intimidation of news media, complete with threats of banishment. . . . I thought this was
America, not Venezuela.
Have I mentioned Obama and his
minions have a totalitarian streak?
I choked at the description of Davis as a Centrist, until I remembered that he is in fact a "moderate" Democrat by today's standards. President Obama is the mirror image of, not the real Reagan or Bush 42, but the Left's demonic vision of them. Funny that they are well pleased with this.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I suspected "Centrist" was charitable. But I'm nice on occasion.
