When you lose Jimmy Fallon, you lose America

[billc]

Doing what the main stream media seems incapable of doing, Talk show host Jimmy Fallon directs some pointed questions to one of President Obamas media representatives, Brian Williams of NBC news. Defending the President as best he can, and in ways he would never have done for the last republican president or any republican president ever, Brian williams effectively spells out the white house talking points.

From John Nolte's article:

he golfing, the NCAA brackets, the vacations, the date nights… From an isolated point of view, you might be able to defend Williams here, but when you look at the left-wing media as a whole, you don’t see them doing to Obama what they did to Bush. When a Republican is in office, the MSM is always looking for a narrative to fixate on that will define and diminish. When an Obama is in office and that same narrative opportunity presents itself, they do what Williams does here with Jimmy Fallon: they fight that narrative from gaining a foothold and try to snuff it out.

One of the great occurrences of the Obama presidency is the ongoing exposure of just how unprincipled and hypocritical the progressive movement is.

Did I miss something?

It seems that your whole point here is that the liberal media isn't attacking our liberal president the same way they attacked our former conservative president.

Um......duh.......

Are there subtleties here that I haven't spotted? 'Cos, seriously - what did you expect?

 

[billc]

I expected exactly what you saw on the video, but it never gets old showing it. At times it is even pretty hilarious when these script readers do verbal gymnastics covering for their favorite liberal incompetents and criminals. Some of the funniest times were watching the media during the clinton years. That was funny.

 

[bushidomartialarts]

Agreed. About as funny as the conservative media's treatment of liberals.

I can't get riled about either one. On the other hand, I can get seriously pissed off about how little news we get has any real substance - it's all celebrities or some talking head pandering to the lefties or the righties - anything to get us distracted by petty dramas and squabbles, rather than pissed off about the real **** that's going on.

Unfortunately it works. Americans are seriously distracted.

I keep RCP as my homepage and get the Economist and the WSJ among others....which helps, but these days, you really have to go out and look to stay "genuinely" informed. Few are willing, what with the pressing issues of American Idle, Brad and Angelina, and whatever new vampire trend is on the tube.

I think the point is there are a handfull of left leaning zombies on this site who are always spouting how unbiased the media is, how fair they are, how biased fox is, how good Obama is, how Bad Bush is... etc.etc.. ad nauseum..
If someone bashes Obama for something, they immediately throw out Bush like it matters...
If someone links a story they dont like they bash the source if they can for being biased, but when the same is done to them they adamantly disagree that its biased in any way shape or form...

the ultimate hypocrites.. I can think of several routine posters on our very board....

Why so shy, cupcake?

Don't forget calling people trolls, that's always a good response.

I see the same behavior on the part of several routine conservatives posting here. Attacking behavior in a liberal that they would defend if it were a conservative saying or doing precisely the same thing.

I just don't understand why we've become so polarized. It's blinding people on both sides.

More to the point, isn't he part of that so-called "liberally biased media?"
:lfao:

So called.... meaning you find no bias? Interesting.

"When you lose Jimmy Fallon you lose America"?


Obama shouldn't even bother running again, tomorrow he should hold a press conference and just tell America "I've lost Jimmy Fallon....game over."

Obama shouldn't even bother running again, tomorrow the should hold a press conference and just tell America "I've lost Jimmy Fallon....game over."

That fact that he has momentarily lost America (and Jimmy Fallon) doesn't change the fact that he knows a few speeches full of empty rhetoric, some swiftly played race cards a few empty promises about "free stuff" for the masses... and most will gladly forget history and re-elect him.

I'm sure he'll be fine... I've met enough of his supporters.

Worked for both Bushes, Clinton and Reagan. I was 7 when Carter got out, so I can't speak to others - but I would bet it's been going on since the beginning. This ain't a liberal thing, or a Democrat thing. It's a politics thing.

Any cynical old curmugeons out there to speak to earlier?

"Game over man! Game over!"

So that's it then?

Like who?

The fact that Jimmy fallon is asking about the Ncaa brackets, and the golf and the wednesday night parties, and the vacations is serious. Normally a guy like fallon doesn't get into politics, just like Williams said. The fact that he is means that Obama's leisure time is starting to make even people who normally would support him think something funny is going on.
