Stenographers to power series—
THE MSNBC CORRAL & THE PUTATIVE KILLING OF OSAMA BIN LADEN
The attack on Osama’s compound uncorks a torrent of systemic apologetics and red-white-and-blue jingoism
From Chris Matthews to Ed Schultz, and passing through Lawrence O’Donnell and Rachel Maddow, the channel is positively bristling with chauvinist nonsense and sycophancy, with its leading liberal stars practically in a hot scramble to sing the loudest praise to Obama and the Democrats.
MAY 3 ED SCHULTZ: “Dems Tough: They Got the Job Done”
MSNBC’s NOISY BUT ULTIMATELY TOOTHLESS BULLDOG OF THE CENTER SHOWS HOW TO CANCEL GOOD WORK WITH REVOLTING, OBTUSE SUBMISSION TO THE STATUS QUO.
In this segment, aired on May 3d, Schultz, in his best starched cheerleading outfit goes out of his way to proclaim that Democrats are as macho, warlike and capable of imperial warmaking and international criminality as the Republicans, hardly news, and hardly an honor, but in Schultz’ book apparently something worth crowing about. Unfortunately, Schultz is scarcely alone. Almost the totality of liberals in the corridors of power and media perches are busily thumping their chest and waving the flag, proving that the establishment’s jingo disease is fully bipartisan and always was. — P. Greanville
A pathetic display.
Take a look.
