No, this is not another tale about media bias and lack of standards in journalism. That's such a given it's hardly even interesting anymore. What follows is an example of how hungry we apparently must be for the most insignificant details of the First Family's life, from Politico:
"The first lady, wearing a green sweater and slacks, was already on the scene when the motorcade arrived at the soccer field next to the school. The president, accompanied by Reggie Love, was wearing jeans, a black jacket and a White Sox cap. Bo was also there, though pool was unclear as to whether the first dog arrived with the president. After watching the second half of the game, the first couple headed back to the White House at 12:09 p.m. Michelle then walked BO, WHO OUR DILIGENT POOLER REPORTS PERFORMED HIS REQUIRED DUTIES, on the White House lawn."
Whew! For a minute there I thought I felt a warmth enveloping my heart while reading this important critical coverage of the most power-grabbing administration in at least half a century. What a relief to realize it was just my stomach turning.
ReplyDelete"DILIGENT POOLER REPORTS..."
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear this, as media diligence is a quality that is seriously lacking when ascertaining "doing one's duties" on the White House Lawn.
