What is it that the right-wing has “howled about” for decades? Bias? Indoctrination? Threat to free speech? In this instance, the right is pointing out that it and FNC is being disenfranchised. The WH is using classic Alinsky tactics. Not surprising given the heavily weighted communist sympathisers within the Administration. It is the WH that is howling, not Fox, but then a troll often gets that wrong. When your free speech is seized because you have fallen out of favor with the palace, Blanky, then we will hear the, no doubt, raucous response.

Obama got elected as a moderate and is now campaigning well to the left of Vladimer Lenin. I was about to say governing but he hasn’t tried that yet. Still, the citezenry is getting ticked off. Sorry, there is a reason why conservative talk radio is booming while the lefty radio and television “news” can hold a meeting of their entire customer base in a small men’s room. And there is a reason why, in spite of the Obama mmm, mmm, mm crap, nobody listens to his speeches. I’m waiting, I expect there will be a little baby boom nine months after each Obama speech. It’s: well, that big eared feller is going to be on all the channels, lets go fool around.

The traditional rules haven’t applied for many years now. That old cliche “Don’t pick a fight with a guy who buys ink by the barrel” was clever in 1909, 1959, even 1989.

This is 2009.

The entire “war” with FNC is happening on cable (mainly FNC) and online, mainly right-wing blogs. The media is so fragmented that the old 20th century cliches just aren’t good enough anymore. And take note of who is whining the loudest – dinosaur media like NYT, ABC and WaPo. Ha! They have no clue why they’ve lost market share for the last 30 years and they’re still clueless in their MSM beltway bubble.

Right-wingers have howled about the “liberal media” for decades and now they’re whining because they’ve gotten a taste of their own medicine.

Get used to it, Gaius. I know you don’t have the cojones to print this or respond to it. Huffing and puffing about how the WH is “scared” doesn’t make it so. Right-wing hacks like FNC don’t get a free pass anymore. This is the new normal.

Deal with it.

Obama’s initial overweening success has led him into displays of gratuitous arrogance, which the more he is approved and flattered will only serve to encourage his tendencies toward pompous and pretentious misbehavior, and will inevitably summon the divine instrument of his ruin.
