"trademark brutality, wannabe emperor".  As someone commented, you can't get good journalism like this in America.  Sad but true.

I would agree that most of the best journalism is global/non-U.S. sources. - sm

AP, Reuters, AFP (Agence France-Presse), The Guardian, BBC, Al Jazeera, etc.  


But The Torygraph isn't one of them. 

Love. It. - Couldn't agree more. nm

His identity is still evolving. Once a member of the Labour Party, he's become a US Republican Party apologist of late. Opinions like this are a dime-a-dozen back here in the homeland and can be found littering RW web sites from sea to shining sea. Nothing new.

Excellent article - Thanks - The Sarge - sm

The Telegraph is a great source, don't let the "nothing but O positive allowed" to get you down. The link is one of the best sources. Nothing wrong with the source at all. That is if you want an independent viewpoint.

He also hit what is going on right on the head.

Thanks for posting.

Independent? Surely you jest. - Another excellent article

Here's a piece by a European press review organization's with their take on the Torygraph. That publication is about as independent, fair and balanced as Fox claims to be. NOT.

I'm not sure I agree but it's nice to see someone else find Obama's tactics a little less than honest.

It’s important to remember that Obama’s second term blues began long before the scandals broke. Although he won the 2012 election, the Democrats failed to take the House, and the Senate remained vulnerable to filibuster. That might not have been such a roadblock to legislation had the Prez not spent the election trashing his opponents, calling the Republicans everything from heartless SOBs to enablers of rape. The result was that he entered his second term despised by much of the Congress and so unable to get much done.

But while we’ve yet to find the smoking email, there’s a growing consensus that Obama set the tone of his administration by the trademark brutality by which he fought his opponents. Journalists suddenly know what it must have felt like to be a conservative activist for the past four years, to be treated with a mix of contempt and ruthless discrimination. Obama’s administration has been the most hostile towards investigative journalism in history: its DOJ has filed more leak-related investigations than all the other administrations combined.

I definitely love this sentence LOL: He “obviously likes giving speeches more than he does running the executive branch,” observed Chris Matthews, a disenchanted liberal journalist who once said that those speeches sent “a thrill” up his leg.

You know Obama's in trouble with the media when CM starts downing the President.

it's the journalist's opnion - sm

and I don't fault anyone for being interested in this journalist's opinion, but I find this remark to be kind of hyperbolic on his part: "...calling the Republicans everything from heartless SOBs to enablers of rape." I just didn't see that.

So I went to the orthopedist in May, had xray of my shoulder. At that time it was popping quite a bit and hurting (hurting that is until I got to the office, but you know how that is). Bottom line, xray done, doctor studied for a minute (could see his scanning as he was directly outside the room pondering the radiograph). He said you can just watch and if it should become more painful then surgery. Ok so it got worse over these few months. Am trying to sit operation up, getting okay from PCP (to ...

Ben Cole of the Institute for Energy Research has offered a forceful and, I think, largely meritorious response to Obama& ...
