Thus is the gravitas of our WH that they seem attracted to sideshows and circuses like a moth to a light. Sometimes its much better to let the trivial play itself out rather than shine a light on it. Methinks the “narrative sensitive handlers” in the WH would understand this. The WH responds to trivial issues only because it is not substantive on real issues.
Reverend Jones is in the news right now because he fits the liberal media template. He fits the bill of what the liberal elites think of as mainstream Christianity.
The liberal media recently all but ignored two major stories. There were random attacks at the Iowa State Fair by minority youth gangs upon people at the fair. Evidence indicates that these black gangs were targeting white victims.
And there was a major brawl on the Washington DC Metro subway recently, involving at least 70 youth gang members. This story was also virtually ignored by the MSM.
I’m sure the reason that the brawling of youth gangs was under-reported was due to liberal bias. The media did not want to report what happened or who was involved, because they choose not to report anything which reflects badly on certain people or groups.
But in the case of this Pastor Jones, they want to report on a story which makes an allegedly good Christian pastor look bad.
And just today, I hear someone discovered that this Pastor Jones went to Rush Limbaugh’s high school. I expect that to show up in liberal talking points, to tie this pastor to Rush.
