"Barack Hussein Obama"--the Myth, Not the Man--the Creation of Left-Wing Media Driven By an Ideological Agenda

In a superb analysis of the left wing media's role in propping up/filling in the blank slate that is Barack Obama, Andrew Klavan writes:

The mystery Obama—the hollow receptacle of out-sized fantasies left and right—is not a creation of his own making, political chameleon though he may well be. It emanates instead from a journalistic community that no longer in any way fulfills its designated function, that no longer even attempts the fair presentation of facts and current events aimed at helping the American electorate make up its mind according to its own lights. Rather, left-wing outlets like the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, and the like have now devoted themselves to fashioning an image of the world they think their audiences ought to believe in—that they may guide us toward voting as they think we should. They have fallen prey to that ideological corruption that sees lies as a kind of virtue, as a noble deception in service to a greater good.

The New York Times et al are as honest about the real Obama and his many failures as Pravda was re Stalin.
