For instance, I could see a one or two minute commercial run repeatedly for about a week detailing the firing of Walpin, giving the details without hysteria and without any slant to attempt a political advantage – just put the facts out there for all to see and then watch the MSM try to spin it’s way out of not reporting it.

I could see the commercial going so far as to point out the lack of coverage by the MSM, simply as a way of shaming them and forming the kernal of doubt in the minds of viewers as to what they’re actually being provided in the way of “news” and begin the process of removing the mask of seriousness from the clown the MSM has become.

As long as there is no slant, and the facts are explicit and undeniable, there isn’t much that could be done by the MSM except grudgingly move into damage control mode and provide some tepid coverage of the firing.

It would be fun to watch, anyway…

No, It isn’t possible. For the very simple reason that even an administration about which the most transparent thing is the packaging around its lies would have given a rational and innocent explanation were one to exist. One doesn’t.

His policies are horrible.

His policies are shared by many Democrats.

Unless he does something really gross we can’t make it personal about Obama.

Mr. Frank, the alert Russian citizens learned to decode Pravda, such as “We are winning glorious battles closer and closer to Moscow. Hmm.” Among Party followers, this could become extremely subtle, noting in what order people or events were listed or the relative intensity of descriptive adjectives. Yet even at this, much was left out of the news – PR by subtraction is always the most effective – and even those opposed to the government were influenced.

We toss around comparisons to Pravda quite freely, but a better example would be the European newspapers, which are quite partisan. Our peculiar difficulty here is not the amount of bias so much as the continuing myth that there is none. For your comfort, I will note that the credibility of such entities as Time or NBC news is not only slowly eroding, but slowly aging. My adult children’s friends regard Newsweek, for example, as some irrelevant old-people’s magaizine found only in dentist’s offices.

Funniest dang political cartoon in a long time.

Well, the Big O at least has taste when checking out the talent, even if he’s a wee bit obvious.

Meanwhile, here’s O cold-shouldering Berlusconi — refusing to shake the proffered hand, then smiling at Berlusconi’s discomfiture.

Nice. Berlusconi is a democratic ally, but apparently that’s the problem. Obama’s respect is for Saudi kings, Iranian mullahs, and Central American strongmen.
