WRM:
We should all be very glad that we have a Democratic president right
now; otherwise the news would be terrible. We would be seeing a rash of
horrible and depressing stories in the newspapers about strategic
failure, with unremitting second guessing and belittling of a president
who agonized for months before the surge and then saw his plan fail.
We’d be hearing non-stop reports in the media about the incompetent and
klutzy leader who torpedoed his own policy by announcing a withdrawal
date; the man who tried to please everybody and do everything—and failed
at all he tried.
The press would be jumping on this narrative.
Read it all. He finishes:
we are deeply grateful that with a Democratic president running for
re-election, the press has decided to pay as little attention as
possible to bad news overseas. Otherwise, our morning news read would be
depressing, and nobody likes a downer.
