6. Mandatory digs at Obama, no matter how disingenuous, is how writers genuflect to their bosses...

All you said is true, but they have to flog the meme if they want to keep writing for money. They constantly self-censor. Or they are part of the machine willingly?

I wonder at times just how miserable a life that is, telling half-truths for a job although outright lying like Faux pays much better. These writers are most likely educated and at one time thought they were going to be part of a respectable, socially valuable intelligensia.

Propaganda denies intelligence, blocks solving problems, refuses to give useful information or help one to use sound judgment. We are in the Goebbels age of MSM.
