Взаимопроникновение

It was revealed today that CBS News President David Rhodes’ brother is Obama Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, who was instrumental in rewriting the Benghazi talking points. But it gets worse. It is now learned that ABC President Ben Sherwood’s sister, Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, is a Special Assistant to Barack Obama on national security affairs. But even this isn’t it! CNN’s deputy bureau chief, Virginia Moseley, is the wife of Tom Nides, who until February was Hillary Clinton’s deputy.

Линия защиты

The Washington Post is trying to help its sister-Obama-outlet NBC News in its battle with George Zimmerman. Last week Zimmerman filed suit against NBC Universal alleging that when NBC News mis-edited the 911 call he made before Martin was shot, he was defamed because it looked as though he uttered racial remarks.
The Post argues that Zimmerman should be judged as a public figure, not a private one, which would make his case for defamation much harder to prove.
The Post asserts that Zimmerman was a public figure at the time of the mis-edited 911 call because he had appeared on Sean Hannity’s TV show.

And here’s the kicker that makes the Post’s claims ridiculous: the NBC mis-edits occurred in late March; Zimmerman didn’t appear on Hannity until months later.

Но вот, однако же, детки (с)

Not everybody was pleased with President Obama's uncharacteristic line on the Today Show, spoken in the pre-school hours Tuesday morning, that he wants some "ass to kick" in the Gulf oil crisis.

Becky Quick, who co-hosts Squawk Box with lead anchor Joe Kernen and co-host Carl Quintanilla, slapped Obama for using unpresidential language in an interview he knew would be aired as children prepared for school.

'unpresidential language' - это они Путина не слышали.

И вообще, не виноватый он, ему друзья посоветовали:

Obama has been under pressure in the media and even among his friends, notably film director Spike Lee, to air more passion when addressing the oil crisis.
