NYTimes, LA Times, Major US Dailies Do NOT Carry Pic of Obama Bending In Half To Japanese Emperor

November 15th, 2009

[Steelfish]

Surprise, Surprise, none of the major US dailies carry the embarrassing pic of an American President bending in half and stooping so low to a foreign potentate.

That salute reminds me of the deranged officer saluting Kevin Costner in “Dances with Wolves.”

Because this is the cycle as we have seen time and again in the past, which applies to the Tokyo Bow:

(we are between Phase 3 and 4, IMHO)

1) STORY gets full coverage on Free Republic based on the work of an Army of Davids, many well qualified to comment on complex matters, even perhaps better than much of the US Mass Media.

2) Story is picked up by the majors in the Conservative Sphere: FOX News, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, Savage, etc.

3) Libs maintain utmost silence, hoping it will go away.

4) Libs finally comment with lame excuse, try to drop subject, and still hope it goes away.

5) Mainstream MSM ignores it COMPLETELY.

6) Media and lib talking heads finally recognize issue, but either slander or ridicule Conservative side without any deep refutation.

7) Mainstream media finally forced to report on it and air criticism of issue/fiasco/situation form Conservative side, because it has made the rounds too many talk shows, TV programs, Internet, late night talk show hosts, is now office water-cooler joke-level, etc....
