Papantonio: Lazy Media Attacks Obama

Media outlets have been comparing the roll out of the Affordable Care Act to the disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina. Mike Papantonio appears on The Ed Show on MSNBC to explain why the lazy media can’t understand the difference between a website problem and an incompetent Bush presidency.

They never attacked Bush like they do President Obama and Bush really f'd up this country. If we had a real media they would not be doing these bogus attacks. But the corporatists hate this President even though he is more republican like than Democrat.

I read this book called Barack Obama and the Jim Crow Media by Ishmael Reed. He was spot on how the media attacks Obama for every little thing but if you criticized Bush you were told you must not criticize the President in time of war (Which bush caused).

The author lives in the Bay Area and the book was only reviewed in Canada because the US media would not publicize it. I think you can still get it on Amazon and it's worth the read. The comparison between Katrina and the ACA rollout are so crazy, irrational and false. Laughable and sad at the same time that makes me roll my eyes.
