Especially when it comes to the Obama Administration, it seems the mainstream liberal press has been increasingly subverted from not only speaking truth to power but even speaking truth about the activities of “power.”
Because this article emanates from the certifiable alpha-Obama-lapdog of the national press — the New York Times — it is remarkable self criticism. Could it be that journalists can be embarrassed, that the love affair with Obama can be damaged when the Obama administration goes too far, micro-managing them? Or is it a signal — don’t tell us what to do, don’t encroach on our prerogatives, and we will cover for you as usual.
