WaPo Not Wild About Obama’s Debut
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/15/2009 2:47:31 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Jennifer Rubin, a mainstay of Commentary’s “Contentions” blog, does a fine job deconstructing the Washington Post’s editorial on Pres. Obama’s first three weeks in office.

Rubin’s bottom line:

“The Washington Post editors can’t quite bring themselves to condemn the president outright, but they sure do give some hints that they aren’t pleased.”

We are not pleased with the WarshPost either, nor their reporters, nor pressmen, nor writers, nor editors, nor business managers, nor advertising group, nor their owners.

No doubt Obama will eventually be as displeased with them as I am, and then he will strike.

I’m starting to see where the “hope” comes in. We need to hope Bari doesn’t screw this country up too bad while he is doing his “history” gig as president.

The MSM will never “condemn” Obama, but they have a severe case of buyer’s remorse after realizing their messiah is an unqualified fraud.

It's time that campaign manager Axelrod who briefly allowed Obama to run loose needs to resume full control again.
Axelrod is the one that did the strategic part while Obama did the talking.
Time for him to tighten the reins, as Obama when left unsupervised will mess things up.

They're just made that priority seat in the WH Press Room was taken away.

As soon as O-stupid gives it back they'll be all for him again.

I don't mean to be a total jerk, but you've posted an excerpt of a piece at something called "FinkelBlog" which is basically just a link to a piece at Commentary which in turn is more or less just a link to a piece at the Washington Post.

That's something like four degrees of separation.

Does it seem like maybe that might be just a slight waste of bandwidth?

Don’t mistake this for a second that the Compost has now “seen the light.”

I suppose I might have linked directly to the Commentary piece. But I do certainly consider the Commentary item much more than simply a link to the WaPo editorial, as Jennifer Rubin offers a rather stinging deconstruction of what WaPo had to say.

When I went to FinkelBlog, I found myself saying, “Is that it!?” Yeah, I ended up reading Jennifer Rubin’s commentary at “Contentions”. Interesting, but agreed: a step could have been eliminated...

Should have included #14 to you as well. Rubin’s commentary was interesting, tho’...

Now that their scumbag is safely elected the Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms will attempt to regain some credibility by feigning disapproval with this or that Obama initiative. Meaningless.

"The MSM will never “condemn” Obama, but they have a severe case of buyer’s remorse after realizing their messiah is an unqualified fraud."

Which will last just until he starts bailing 'em out with taxpayer money. Then they will be HIS again, and for good.

PS- Just wanted you to know, that I’ll live through the experience of going to Finkel’s Blog. I wasn’t trying to be a jerk or diss you or anything. I was just confused about the extra step!
