The Obama Shill-a-thon & Media's Fatigue [Journolist]
— Open Blogger

Appears some in the mainstream media may be getting tired of shilling for Obama. After 22 months into their non-stop Obama Shill-a-Thon, a growing number of mainstreamers are venturing off the reservation.

Some are even openly airing their discontent over ObamaÂ’s insolence and sleight of hand intellect. We all knew this was bound to happen as the media in all of their liberal bias, are after all, human.

Even mainstreamer stalwarts such as MSNBCÂ’s Chris Matthews and the New York TimesÂ’ Frank Rich have seemingly toned down their liberal declamations. To the mainstreamers, Mr. Obama represented the new aged politician whose intellect and transcendent nature would be Â”just what the doctor orderedÂ” for a nation whose politics had become acutely partisan and loudly acrimonious.

However, something has gone terribly wrong along the way in the mainstreamersÂ’ advancement of Obama. The mainstreamers projected their idealism onto Obama without ever vetting him nor paying attention to what exactly Obama was saying while he vied for the presidency.

The mainstream media essentially abdicated its official responsibilities like a modern day King Edward but unlike Edward, the mainstreamers continued on in guise. The guise has allowed the mainstreamers the ability to promote their liberal politics through a delivery system they call, Â“journalism.Â”

But after 22 months of the Obama charade, the mainstreamers are beginning to have serious doubts about ObamaÂ’s true abilities and whether he has the emotional intelligence and intellectual maturity to be President of The United States. The mainstreamers are becoming agitated with ObamaÂ’s petulant nature, vitriolic rhetoric and the stable of teleprompters that follow him everywhere. This isnÂ’t what the mainstreamers bargained for.

They assumed ObamaÂ’s electoral panache on the campaign trail would carry over into the presidency. After all, rhetoric is what carried the day for the mainstreamers and ObamaÂ’s Ivy League degrees and college teaching positions were all Â“icingÂ” on the liberal cake. A cake the mainstreamers would have and, Â“eat too.Â” Or so they thought.

Enter stage right the November midterms and the political reality of a center right electorate. An electorate that repudiated ObamaÂ’s entire agenda.

ItÂ’s one thing for Obama to rule against the will of the American people and a whole other thing to shill for it - the smart mainstreamers realize this and are starting to take a breath.

14 Of course what's upsetting delicate flowers like Pissy Chrissy is mainly that he's not as hard-care liberal as they wanted him to be.

They wouldn't give a flying fuck about his competence or lack thereof -- which they knew about in advance, but chose to ignore -- if he'd just sign a couple executive orders proclaiming automatic citizenship for illegals, "free stuff" for all, and follow up with a new rapprochement with Hugo Chavez and Mad Mahmoud.

21 @10 A HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (New York Times) KABUL, Afghanistan Â— For months, the secret talks unfolding between Taliban and Afghan leaders to end the war appeared to be showing promise, if only because of the appearance of a certain insurgent leader at one end of the table: Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour, one of the most senior commanders in the Taliban movement. But now, it turns out, Mr. Mansour was apparently not Mr. Mansour at all. In an episode that could have been lifted from a spy novel, United States and Afghan officials now say the Afghan man was an impostor, and high-level discussions conducted with the assistance of NATO appear to have achieved little. But yeah, ain't that Palin witch a real dummy?

The mainstream media essentially abdicated its official responsibilities

Well, what "official duties" do they actually have? The have unofficial duties, in most cases an implied or an actual stated commitment to objectivity. But, almost all of these windbags work for private corporations, and in the age of cable TV, the idea of limited broadcast space is obsolete.

If they actually had official duties, they would be in serious breach of them.

102 They have a delicate balancing act: if they continue to blow Obama in public, they risk being tossed aside with the regime when the American people rise against him. But if they turn on him too soon, the Party faithful will accuse them of deviationism and have them sent to Siberia (see Williams, Juan).

That's why they've been hitting so hard on criticising Obama's "messaging." To the angry citizenry they can claim "See? We criticized Obama! Please don't put that flaming car tire around our necks!" And to the Democrat fanatics they can claim "We're just trying to help the President accomplish the Progressive agenda which we unquestioningly support! Please put down the ice axe!"
