Easter Basket Cases - Conservative Cartoon

Today’s commentary will be short and (not very) sweet, simply because Hope n’ Change is feeling tired and pissed off today. And while the roots of these feelings are many, the idiocy du jour is the false flap about whether or not the dreaded sequester cuts were going to cause cancellation of the annual Whitehouse Easter Egg Roll.

But this was all just another distraction; the Easter Egg Roll was never in jeopardy and the story was floated by the Whitehouse simply to give the MSM some puff piece they could use to fill news minutes on-air while ignoring genuinely important stories.

So the networks charged after the “Easter Egg” story like a fat kid diving on a Cadbury egg, while completely ignoring the nearly unreported story that the survivors of the Benghazi terror attack are being hidden from Congress, the Press, and the American people – and for good measure, their being warned not to talk to anyone about what really went wrong in the weeks leading up to that hellishly successful terror attack. Forget the Easter Egg Roll- let’s find out Obama’s role, Hillary Clinton’s role, and the roles of all the other incompetent liars with blood on their hands.

It’s an old refrain here, but it’s still important and it still burns: the mainstream media is dead in this country as far as showing even marginal interest in anything which could make this administration look bad. Which is, not coincidentally, virtually everything this administration does.

By accepting fluffy, fictitious “news” stories handed out by the administration, Whitehouse “journalists” have shown themselves to be basket cases.

Or in this case, Easter Basket cases.
