GMA Gaga for Little Prince George, Ignores Obama Trade Threat to UK
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/23/2016 5:55:44 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Gag me with a steak and kidney pie . . . It's the most blatant example of the MSM glossing over an Obama controversy in favor of featuring a feel-good story that this NewsBuster can remember. Today's Good Morning America went gaga over Britain's little Prince George, with no fewer than four teases followed by a lengthy segment devoted to how much President Obama enjoyed the company of the tyke on his current visit to the UK. Lots of cute pictures and even a clip of Obama claiming "nothing was going to stop me from . . . meeting George, who was adorable." Awww.

But incredibly, at least in the first half-hour, not a word was breathed of Obama's ugly threat to the UK, in which he told Britons they would have to go "to the back of the queue" for a trade deal should they vote to exit the European Union in a referendum set for June. Obama thus stuck his nose into the internal affairs of an ally. In the closing comments in which the crew cooed over how royal little George was, Paula Faris actually claimed to co-host Tom Llamas that the segment "really moved you." Yuck.

Not sure if your were joshing, but this a story about GMA going gaga over little Prince George, not about Lady Gaga.

Joking. But the way the headline was written, that was my first thought.

The Rats would turn us into a heritary monarchy if they had their way. Queen Hillary and Princess Chelsea.

Am I the only one in the world who thinks Prince George looks like Louie Anderson?
