The Press Pass

MSM gives The One a pass. Documented media bias by Pew Research, yet again, even more blatant, such lazy adulation even a Washington Post columnist is worried. Robert J. Samuelson on the consequences:
Are his proposals practical, even if desirable? Maybe they're neither? What might be the unintended consequences? All "reforms" do not succeed; some cause more problems than they solve. Johnson's economic policies, inherited from Kennedy, proved disastrous; they led to the 1970s' "stagflation." The "war on poverty" failed. The press should not be hostile, but it ought to be skeptical.
Put yourself in someone's else's shoes. (Put it another way, how about some empathy for someone other than yourself or your PC friends, hmm?) Consider this--you might want to retire but be unable to afford it, you might want health care but be deemed unworthy by some bureaucrat, you might want to keep on doing what you're doing but be out of a job--after all, some of your employers are already bankrupt. Give The One a pass, the world may pass you by.
