It seems to me there has been a lot of this type of thing going on. The unemployment numbers being reported as dipping below 8% is one of them.

I have been calling this group of sycophantic supporters The Mouthpiece Media for a few years. They have become more than that now. They are The Moat Media for Obama. They serve as a moat between the people and their boy king in the castle.
I stole your “Mouthpiece Media.” It’s perfect.
