Each December we remember the past year’s news events. This year we went through primaries and general elections with tales told and untold. Television screens were filled with want to be presidential candidates. During the endless debates much was done by the ‘media’ to undress the candidates. After grueling weeks of criticisms, selection was made. Then an old question and answer sequence was published, wherein the selected candidate fumbled explanation why forty-seven percent would not vote for him so it would matter little what he said or did. The news media screamed about the rich man.
Now print and electronic news media have broadcast Barack Obama as the man of the year as anointed by Time Magazine. Four years ago, a few voices screamed that the young untested clichéd candidate, talking of hope and change, was exposed for various questionable acts that needed to be aired. A few people claimed the would-be- emperor had a dirty suit, but it was never televised or printed with a clarion voice. Now the disgrace of the proactive and post active Benghazi situation is being white washed.
It seems there are collegiums of purpose among Democrat power brokers and news media. Yester-week someone asked Chris Christie if his weight is, or will be, a problem for his candidacy in 2016. His answer should have been why are you trying to undress a would-be-emperor? Our Press is akin to the people watching the parade in the Hans Christian Anderson fable as they remain silent and reluctant to ‘scream the emperor has no clothes’. Benghazi is another parade of the naked emperor.
