President Complains Media Give too Much Credence to His Opponents
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 28 Feb 2014 | John Semmens

President Obama expressed his frustration with a news media that “feels compelled to give air time to opponents of my policies. We all know that there is no substance to the views of these malcontents, but out of a ‘knee-jerk’ compulsion to appear even-handed the media are allowing them to voice their opposition to a wide audience.”

Obama acknowledged that “mainstream media outlets have been appropriately favorable in most of their coverage of what I'm trying to do, but the sliver of contention that they allow to be juxtaposed to the Administration's official proclamations is undermining the country's faith in our program.”

One sign of the undermining of faith cited by the President was a poll showing that nearly 60% of Americans are disappointed in the Obama Presidency. “This destabilizing shift of opinion never would've happened if the media had been more discreet and selective with who they give air time to,” Obama maintained. “Just think about the damage that would be done to people's religious faith if Satan were given equal time, or even any time, at weekly church services. Isn't it about time that we stop allowing the voices of political evil into our living rooms? Isn't it about time that the FCC takes stronger measures to ensure these voices are muted?”

His whining is so regular that PMS might be the cause of these “poor-me” parties.

You got me with this satire, since it’s so believable.

The hits keep on coming. Keep on swinging at the floaters they give you John - they give me a reason to chuckle.
