OBAMA’S JOURNALISTIC BUTTON MEN: “Journalists like to claim they speak truth to power. But when Barack Obama wields that power, they’re all too willing to do his bidding, even if it means attacking one of their own. Just ask Jodi Kantor. . . . The same unhappy fate befell Ron Suskind, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who described discord among Obama’s economic team in his book “Confidence Men.” Suskind was savagely attacked by the administration (which “carpet-bombed” the book, according to Politico). But instead of recoiling at this display of White House paranoia, a compliant press instead followed up with killer blows.” It’s like they’re just dutiful apparatchiks or something.
