The Obama Admin BULLIES, So The Obamas Taking An Evening Walk Is More Important

(Hat tip to Rivka from a comment in the last post.)

From Jake Tapper's blog at ABC News:

White House Denies Charge By Attorney that Administration Threatened to Destroy Investment Firm's Reputation
May 02, 2009 3:17 PM
A leading bankruptcy attorney representing hedge funds and money managers told ABC News Saturday that Steve Rattner, the leader of the Obama administration's Auto Industry Task Force, threatened one of the firms, an investment bank, that if it continued to oppose the administration's Chrysler bankruptcy plan, the White House would use the White House press corps to destroy its reputation.

The White House, of course, makes the denial. And except for the "blog" on ABC News, this information is not making screaming headlines above the fold on today's newspapers across the country. I wonder why that might be?

Instead, the national media has decided that an evening stroll, taken by Mr and Mrs Obama around the White House, is more newsworthy. Yes, this is an actual article from AP:

After a date night out on Saturday evening, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama decided to take a stroll when their motorcade arrived back at the White House.

So they began walking on the driveway of the White House South Lawn while holding hands. First they passed the West Wing, then their children's swing set. They kept walking, swinging their hands together.

Have you ever -- I repeat, ever -- been witness to a more "in the tank", completely disinterested, lazy, corrupt and purposely-avoidant news media than exists now with regard to its promotion and coverage of an American politician?

But oh, no, they're not biased.

And here's the overarching point: the implication is that the press corps will do precisely what Mr Obama or his administration wants, whenever it wants.

Isn't this the same kind of extortive excrement one customarily expects from Mssrs Jackson and Sharpton? And does it not confirm that Chicago Politics, as expected, have come home to roost in Washington?
