Media Bias Personified

Evan Thomas, of Newsweek magazine recently appeared on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews. He was reflecting on the Reagan years and how Reagan 's "morning in America" was just about America and that's not what Obama is all about. He said Obama is above all of this, has a more appropriate "world view" and is " above it all ..."godlike". He said lots of other things as well.


My wife took issue with the comment and wrote a letter to the editors of Newsweek. Here it is and I'm sure she speaks for most of us.

"Reagan was all about America and now Obama is above that. Does that mean that Pres. Obama is not about America? Are you saying that Americans should not feel pride when we raise our flag? That the 4th of July should no longer be celebrated? That we should get rid of our own constitution and have a world constitution? And , my goodness,the hyperbole of calling Obama as a sort of God. My goodness, man, have you lost your senses? Obama is a MAN. He breathes, he eats just like the rest of us. So, does Mr. Thomas also have a shiver down his leg when he sees or hears Obama? This is the kind of blather that makes the 55 million people who didn't vote for Obama stop buying magazines like Newsweek. No wonder most of the media is in financial trouble. Sure, blame it all on the Internet not on your own bias.The media in the US now bows down to the alter of Obama. The thing is... he's a false idol."


Needless to say, she hasn't heard back from Newsweek
