If there was any doubt about the arrogance of the so-called “progressive” democrats, and those democrats expecting the media to be in bed with them, it has been resolved by the following quote from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi:
“Last week Rudy Takala noted at Mediaite:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Tuesday lamented the media’s failure to sell the $3.5 trillion spending bill proposed by congressional Democrats.
‘Well, I think you all could do a better job of selling it, to be very frank with you,’ [she] said at a daily press briefing with reporters, in response to a question about the proposal.”
Now this comes from the same woman who said Congress would have to pass the Affordable Care Act before any of us, even her own Congressional colleagues, could find out what’s in it, so we suppose this arrogance is no surprise. Still, it’s news to us that this is the media’s job. Sad to say, the historical adherence to facts and investigation (by some formerly legitimate outlets, anyway) and not advocacy has gone by the boards, such that you simply cannot trust anymore what avowed progressive mainstream media says and prints, which includes formerly respected publications like the New York Times (all the news that’s fit to print indeed) and the Boston Globe. Sigh…at least the Globe has good funnies and sports.
