That process has started in regards to Obama’s lackluster response to the British Petroleum (BP) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Today, the state-run Associated Press penned an analysis of Obama’s response entitled Obama Oil Response: Aggressive as Crisis Unfolded. Say what? Obama was aggressive in his response? Aggressive in playing golf, maybe. But aggressive in is response? I think not. Yet the article begs to differ and starts to paint the new state-run narrative that will be repeated as the template in the days ahead, until it becomes assumed to be true:

my check out clerk was upset about the oil spill in the gulf and

expressed contempt for oil co’s.

i calmly said, people that hate big oil should not drive cars.

MEANWHILE, in Nashville.  What does it say when 11 men who perish on an exploding oil platform, or 30 poor souls who die in a 1,000-year Tennessee flood, get less coverage than two oil-soaked birds? It says news is driven from the left. "the nashville floods can't be blamed on big oil, capitalism, global warming, or george bush. hence, they have no value to the obamedia."
