Media attacks Obama’s ‘”Soviet-style” publicity policy

Media attacks Obama’s ‘”Soviet-style” publicity policy. “Major media organisations protest against being shut out of president’s events in favour of official photographer.” The dopes that put him on a pedestal are now bitchin’ about what they’ve wrought. If we had a 3D printer, we’d print up a nice violin to play.

      If it was just incompetence, the law of averages dictates that something would accidentally go right, at least once in a while.

      The math would indicate that he is intentionally destructive

  • Now they are Butthurt? Oh please spare me the hypocritical bullshit from the media....when you lay with a skunk, you wake up smelling bad boys and girls....and no amount of tomato juice is gonna get the stench off the media...

  • Tough shit. These assholes have been humping his leg for the past 6 years. Now he doesn't need them any more so it's under the bus. NOt to worry, if he needs some special BS propaganda, he will call them in, let them sniff his backside and they will fall all over themselves kissing his ass again.

  • I so sorry for the Lame Stream Media (LSM) over the fact of their lack of access to the "0." I mean, in their eyes, they made the guy and the low information voters bought the lie. No, I'm not really sorry at all; the only thing I'm really sorry for is that they packaged him so well that the slightly less than low information voters bought that lie as well and voted for the prick. My new saying: "Burn baby, burn!"

  • LOL, "However the concessions were dismissed as a fig leaf by Mickey Osterreicher, general counsel for the National Press Photographers Association."

    Curiously enough, the name "Osterreicher" is itself German/Austrian for "Austria."

    YOU KNOW WHO ELSE CAME FROM AUSTRIA???

      • No, he said "Austrian," which is at least the correct adjective,but there is no "Austrian" language of course. If I recall, the Austrian dialect of German is more similar to the German-German spoken just across the border in Bavaria than Bavarian German is to the northern dialects (Hochdeutsch and Plattdeutsch.)

  • When people worship someone/something, they want access to the person/it at all times. When the access is denied, people get upset. It is as simple as that. Worshipping the wrong deity is not a good look. It never is.

    The situation here is not that the media is necessarily waking up and seeing Obama for what he is: a fake ass god... the situation here is that they still worship him OR the idea of him AND/OR what he represents and what he can/should do according to their belief systems. They are just angry or upset that they don't have the access that they want in order to document and witness him OR the idea of him and/or what he represents, etc. in the fullness that they desire. Tomorrow Obama or someone in the inner circle will throw them a bone and they will be happy with it.
