Title: Obama Instructs Journalists On How To Report His Positions
Post by: txradioguy on April 15, 2012, 10:19:31 AM
"This bears on your reporting," President Obama said to journalists. "I think that there is oftentimes the impulse to suggest that if the two parties are disagreeing then they're equally at fault and the truth lies somewhere in the middle. And an equivalence is presented which I think reinforces peoples' cynicism about Washington in general. This is not one of those situations where there's an equivalency."

"As all of you are doing your reporting, I think it's important to remember that the positions that I am taking now on the budget and a host of other issues. if we had been having this discussion 20 years ago or even 15 years ago … would've been considered squarely centrist positions," Obama said a few moments later.

"Do as I say, regardless of the truth."

"Period. Or you will be punished."

When a lib has to tell the press how to report, said lib is in hot water.

The only place Obama's policies would have been considered "centrist" 20 years ago was in the Politboro.

I'm still wondering how many days this quote would have been on the NYT Page one, above the fold, had Bush said it.

I"m not too sure Bush would have gotten away with telling the owebumaManiaMedia how to report.

For the owebumaManiaMedia, to carry out an owebuma order, that's as easy as a snap of owebuma's finger.

It is going to get ugly. I can see the media getting on Romney's wife now. I am hoping the Romney camp comes back after Obama's wife as well. Give them their own medicine; they won't like it.
