I’ve just been watching Reliable Sources on CNN and they asked the question “Has the establishment press been concentrating too much on the politics of the Government Shutdown?” Duh! Does shit stink? Of course they are. It is low hanging fruit for the False Equivalency narrative crowd. To think that the establishment press will do anything that goes beyond the most simple story line flies in the face of their basic belief that they are the ones and they are the only ones who can see through all the extraneous noise and tell their rapt viewership what is or isn’t important. After all they are the “Experts” and all the rest of us are STOOOPID! Context…that’s for Wonks. Nuance…that doesn’t fit the simple they won they lost narrative. That which is actually happening to real people caused by the antigovernment Moron coalition…well that is too emotional and demagogic.
Please stop it! Just stop it! Joe, David, Todd and all the rest of you are the ultimate enablers. The Moron Coalition knows that they can say, can do, can operate without a shred of human dignity, and…let’s face it…be batshit crazy about everything and you guys will still swallow it whole and give them a sort of respectability. When have you ever linked these Assholes to their core beliefs? For God’s sake, besides their belief in destroying OUR government they also want to destroy science (evolution and quantum mechanics are the spawn of Satan). They have the BALLS to say they speak for God on all things and beyond that particular megalomania they know absolutely that their God is the only true God. Maybe… just fucking Maybe… if you told your audience that these members of the MORON Coalition had some, shall I say, peculiar (peculiar in the same way Charles Manson is a peculiar kinda guy) ideas we wouldn’t be here. Nothing happens in a vacuum and you all are guilty of journalistic malpractice for not actually telling your audience the unvarnished truth about the MORON Coalition as many times as it takes to paint the picture of how utterly and completely BATSHIT CRAZY they really are
I am sure that this is falling on deaf ears in the establishment press because we know how important it is to you to be viewed as being IMPORTANT PEOPLE. Stop telling me what is on the White House Lunch Menu Todd and tell me something important. And hey, Reliable Sources, stop asking dumb fucking questions about how the Establishment Press might be interested in making it easy on themselves and get to the WHY the Establishment Press is ok with being a big part of the problem. Thank God for Kos!
