Media Sheep
I’ll be making a big announcement very soon — probably on Friday. But in the meantime, here’s my Media Sheep, inspired in part by this Carpetbagger Report post: In context, Obama’s humble; but out of context…
Of course, we’ve reached a point at which reality no longer matters. A reporter found an anonymous source who took Obama’s comments out of context, changed the meaning entirely, and all of a sudden, we’re off to the races. As Vincent Rossmeier noted, “Of course, the simple fact that the quote isn’t accurate isn’t going to stop some on the right — and in the media — from using it as fuel for the emerging narrative about Obama.”
Media Sheep
By Madeleine Begun Kane
McCain’s a straight talker.
Ignore all his lying.
Obama is pompous.
He’s humble? Not buying!
That’s the agreed-upon narrative. See?
Facts don’t support it?
So scrap them with glee.
McCain contradicts
All his stated positions.
Just brush this aside.
He’s above all suspicions.
Minor adjustments in views from Barack?
Paint them as flip-flops
And go with the flock.

I keep hearing The Beverly Hillbillies….
Thanks for the guess. But the song I was thinking of is My Favorite Things.
