Don’t speak the truth…

Obama’s first major gaffe…it is true, but it certainly doesn’t help him. Unless, of course, he’s looking for a way to explain his upcoming loss in Penn. in advance.

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them…And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

It is the second paragraph, spoken to an audience in San Francisco, that will get him into trouble. He just lost a lot of voters who might have been inching toward him in the poor, white underclass…

If this doesn’t make you laugh, see a doctor…

The Partisan Sickness of the US Media

It seems like a story about corruption won’t fly in the States if it indicts both parties. Consider the remarkable case of Sibel Edmonds, who exposed a network trading in nuclear secrets INSIDE THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.

Another reason is the partisanship. With the foreign press, there is no partisanship, and that’s one reason why they have been more effective at covering this case, and I’m not just talking about the recent Times articles here. With the US media, it appears as though if there is no clear partisan angle, then there’s no story. As you know, this case is spread over two administrations, and that appears to make it difficult for the reporters to cover the story. Even within one news organization you might have one journalist who wants to use the story to indict Clinton, and another who wants to use the story to bash Bush, and in the end neither of them write about the story because it doesn’t fit their partisanship, their ‘narrative’, so they just drop it altogether.
