Imitation Is The Most Sincere Form Of Flattery

Sorry. Just couldn’t pass this one up. It would seem that our allies, the Israelis, have the same problem with their scriblers that we do. In this discussion of “what would happen if Netanyahu had been elected”, the writer pretty much describes the American MSM.

THE LEFT’S media minions would have mounted a merciless assault upon him. He’d have been pilloried as a warmonger and serial spiller of the blood of the nation’s youth. Nothing would have been excessive in the sacred mission to undermine him, no matter how just the national cause, how existentially crucial the fight, or how unprovoked the grievance.

Here’s another zinger:

Bibi would have been minced, hacked with implacable crusading relish by bon-ton know-it-all pen-pushers, whose reams of calumny would gain limitless and uncritical resonance.

Huh! This one pretty much describes the left’s manipulation and love affair with the media.

Olmert may be grossly inept in running the affairs of state, but he’s second to none in churning out a heavily biased portrayal of reality (in his own favor obviously), or advantageously manipulating our perception, prettying-up and covering-up.

The day of the spin doctor is upon us.

If I didn’t know better, I would think that she was talking about the media in the good ol’ US of A. If it wasn’t so true, it’d be hilarious.
