President Obama himself who is responsible for the spin coming out of the White House
A recent article by David Samuels for the New York Times Magazine demonstrates how President Obama and his Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes have been exploiting the media’s willingness to repeat and promote the Obama administration narrative of the day. In the interview Rhodes irreverently nicknames the foreign policy establishment “the Blob” and states that most reporters the administration deals with on foreign affairs are only 27 years old and know nothing. The Blob includes not only top media people, but also “Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates and other Iraq war promoters from both parties who now whine incessantly about the collapse of the American security order in Europe and the Middle East.”
Carlos Lozada of The Washington Post describes the Times’ piece as so sycophantic that it has become “gross” through excess chumminess, hypocrisy and absurdity. For example, Lozada writes, “It is the blindness of a writer who declares that Rhodes is ‘not an egotist’ while offering countless examples of that subject’s gargantuan self-regard, and not bothering to note the contradiction.”
Nice we can at least get the Truth from Canada and other places.
Wow, the press will probably turn on Obama now! [crickets .... crickets .... ]
Miller was to inform the Iranian leaders that if they wait for Obama to become president, “they would be very happy with his policies.”
the so-called Iran deal was never even signed.

Agree. I usually look at the UK stuff to filter out what the MSM has sanitized....
...the administration’s well-cultivated network of officials, talking heads, columnists and newspaper reporters, web jockeys and outside advocates who can tweet at critics and tweak their stories backed up by quotations from ‘senior White House officials’ and ‘spokespeople.

Similar to his coded message to Putin, and certainly not what the voters heard
when he talked about “ talking to his enemies”.... what that really meant is I’ll five you what you want....
Remember, it was also Rhodes who authored the Benghazi “smoking gun” email which sought as a goal to “underscore” that the attacks that killed four Americans resulted from “protests [that] are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy.”
TREASON, anyone?
the emotion driving the administration’s foreign policy is contempt—
contempt for allies, colleagues, and the generations of American policymakers who built the post-WWII international order, ensuring relative global stability, and peace and prosperity at home.

So true. He’s overt with it, but the MSM never calls him out...
I didn't know this.
I presume the Iranians have already received that 150 billion?
