Media, the Real Victor of Elections
November 9th 2006 05:54
Yeah, now that the stomach burn is over the Washington Post comes up with a very timely article on how the bashing of evangelicals should stop. Did they forget who did all the bashing?
I suppose this is what is called coming back to the Centre and the paper which has taken stridently over the top position critical of Bush administration is doing its bit. Let's see.
As many are pointing out, this is not a victory for Democratic Party. This is a victory for unabashed media power using the freedoms granted to subvert the democratic process.
The Anchoress nails it on the head:
The real monster created here is not the Dem congress…its the press, which has just been told, “yes, you can get away with what you’ve been doing - the smearing, the distorting, the burying of good news, the spinning, the framing of op-eds as news pieces…”The Dems managed to pull this off by telling America almost nothing of what they planned to do, and getting the press to carry them.
More than anything…more than ANYTHING…this election has given absolute carte blanche to the press, who may now operate openly and freely as the extended arm of the DNC Communications Wing. They will in no way attempt to restore faith with the American public. Hell, they got the job done, didn’t they? What’s to restore; clearly the distracted American public trusts ‘em just fine.
