Blatant Inaugural Hypocrisy

Ace of Spades has a great post on the abject hypocrisy of the media when it comes to the Obamessiah's inauguration:

Unbelievable Utterly predictable.

Newsbusters catches AP singing different songs.

January 2005:

President Bush's second inauguration will cost tens of millions of dollars — $40 million alone in private donations for the balls, parade and other invitation-only parties. With that kind of money, what could you buy?
■ 200 armored Humvees with the best armor for troops in Iraq.

■ Vaccinations and preventive health care for 22 million children in regions devastated by the tsunami.

■ A down payment on the nation's deficit, which hit a record-breaking $412 billion last year....

The questions have come from Bush supporters and opponents: Do we need to spend this money on what seems so extravagant?

January 2009:

For inaugural balls, go for glitz, forget economy

So you're attending an inaugural ball saluting the historic election of Barack Obama in the worst economic climate in three generations. Can you get away with glitzing it up and still be appropriate, not to mention comfortable and financially viable?

To quote the man of the hour: Yes, you can. Veteran ballgoers say you should. And fashionistas insist that you must.

"This is a time to celebrate. This is a great moment. Do not dress down. Do not wear the Washington uniform," said Tim Gunn, a native Washingtonian and Chief Creative Officer at Liz Claiborne, Inc.

"Just because the economy is in a downturn, it doesn't mean that style is going to be in a downturn," agreed Ken Downing, fashion director for Neiman Marcus.

What else is there to say?  Every man, woman, and child in America needs to understand that the media is no longer competent to report facts in the form of news.  Instead, they have voluntarily transformed into a gigantic propaganda mouthpiece for the Obamessiah.  That's reality, plain and simple.  They simply cannot be trusted anymore.

There's my two cents.
