The Extreme Left Controls the Media

Wall Street Daily ^ | May 12, 2014 | floyd brown
Klein is a leftist journalist who had the audacity to write about his issues with the Obamacare website while working for The Washington Post. His words were immediately savaged by the farther-left blogger, Joan Walsh, who was working for Salon magazine. She penned a harsh critique, headlined: “Liberal pundit fail: Rush to attack Obamacare site only aids unhinged right.” Here’s what Walsh wrote about Klein: “Ezra Klein then picked up the cudgel, telling the crew at MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe,’ where every Obama misstep foretells the end of his presidency, that the Health and Human Services Department is covering up a ‘massive management failure,’ because they had enough pre-launch information to know there were going to be massive problems, and neither adjusted their rollout plan or prepared the public. That’s fair, but then Klein took to Twitter and began sharing his experience [about] trying to sign up for healthcare over the phone, and complained about ‘the lack of hold music.’” Klein quickly jumped back in line after being reprimanded by Walsh. You see, nobody in the mainstream media wants to be criticized by the hard-left bloggers. And the hard-left bloggers see no wrong in Obama, thus enforcing a type of groupthink amongst their media brethren. The effectiveness of this cadre was highlighted in a recent National Journal article by James Oliphant: “Pick an issue, from the Affordable Care Act to Ukraine, to the economy, to controversies involving the Internal Revenue Service and Benghazi, and you’ll find the same voices again and again, on the web and on Twitter, giving the president cover while savaging the opposition. And typically doing it with sharper tongues and tighter arguments than the White House itself.” Under this reign of terror, right-of-center voices have just about disappeared from the mainstream media altogether.
