Webloggin » Judas in Print: Journalist Mocks MSM Groupies Over Fatuous Coverage of Barack Obama

If the mainstream media isn’t yet embarrassed by their over the top coverage of a junior Senator from Illinois with nary an accomplishment minus their personal obsession over his skin color then they should be. Many in the American public and even some media people themselves are starting to mock the MSM contingent that is hanging onto every move the anointed one makes like love starved groupies at a Beatles concert.

A perfect example is the image here from Der Spiegel. It is an obvious photoshopped attempt to make Barack Obama seem larger than life. They have made a mockery of themselves and their profession. As cheerleaders for Barack Obama the MSM has reduced themselves to becoming a running joke. Unprofessional, biased and simply over the top like they have some lovesick teenage crush.

The latest print caricature of the MSM groupies covering the Obama Mystery Tour comes from across the pond in a Times online article written by Gerard Baker.

Here’s a taste from the middle of Baker’s “He ventured forth to bring light to the world” article that includes the apt byline, The anointed one’s pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action - and a blessing to all his faithful followers

In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.

And so it was, in the fullness of time, before the harvest month of the appointed year, the Child ventured forth - for the first time - to bring the light unto all the world.

He travelled fleet of foot and light of camel, with a small retinue that consisted only of his loyal disciples from the tribe of the Media. He ventured first to the land of the Hindu Kush, where the Taleban had harboured the viper of al-Qaeda in their bosom, raining terror on all the world.

And the Child spake and the tribes of Nato immediately loosed the Caveats that had previously bound them. And in the great battle that ensued the forces of the light were triumphant. For as long as the Child stood with his arms raised aloft, the enemy suffered great blows and the threat of terror was no more.

From there he went forth to Mesopotamia where he was received by the great ruler al-Maliki, and al-Maliki spake unto him and blessed his Sixteen Month Troop Withdrawal Plan even as the imperial warrior Petraeus tried to destroy it.

And lo, in Mesopotamia, a miracle occurred. Even though the Great Surge of Armour that the evil Bush had ordered had been a terrible mistake, a waste of vital military resources and doomed to end in disaster, the Child’s very presence suddenly brought forth a great victory for the forces of the light.

And the Persians, who saw all this and were greatly fearful, longed to speak with the Child and saw that the Child was the bringer of peace. At the mention of his name they quickly laid aside their intrigues and beat their uranium swords into civil nuclear energy ploughshares.

From there the Child went up to the city of Jerusalem, and entered through the gate seated on an ass. The crowds of network anchors who had followed him from afar cheered “Hosanna” and waved great palm fronds and strewed them at his feet.

In Jerusalem and in surrounding Palestine, the Child spake to the Hebrews and the Arabs, as the Scripture had foretold. And in an instant, the lion lay down with the lamb, and the Israelites and Ishmaelites ended their long enmity and lived for ever after in peace.

As word spread throughout the land about the Child’s wondrous works, peoples from all over flocked to hear him; Hittites and Abbasids; Obamacons and McCainiacs; Cameroonians and Blairites.

And they told of strange and wondrous things that greeted the news of the Child’s journey. Around the world, global temperatures began to decline, and the ocean levels fell and the great warming was over.

No shit. But there’s more, much more. It is a fun read.

Of course the humorless left will see this as another unfair attack on Mr. 143. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the New Yorker launch another satirical cover, this time of Obama spreading the Red Sea with rod in hand; all the while explaining how the cover is a tongue in cheek satirical look at the unfair attacks the anointed one is suffering at the hands of us crotchety old media watchers.

Such a cover would require another response by the MSM’s Obama protectorate that has a habit of over reacting even when they are responding to their own that dared make fun at Barack Obama’s expense. I can imagine something similar to the latest Vanity Fair cartoon or the one that appeared in the Seattle Post Intelligencer. This time they could depict John McCain in another typical leftist stereotype, perhaps as an over the hill Vietnam Veteran killing babies with his cane.

Thus is the state of the silly looking media and their laughable coverage of Barack Obama, healer, uniter and man who judges no one, not terrorist neighbor, racist preacher or pro-Palestinian adviser that meets secretly with Hamas.

The truth hurts and Baker is inflicting some much deserved pain on the shameless campaign ad the mainstream media is producing gratis for Barack Obama.
