| Mercer: Yellow Journalism of Yellow-Bellied Bob Woodward & the NYT |
| 2018-09-14 |
| [Unz] It takes no time at all. You listen to Bob Woodward’s halting speech. You read his lumpen prose, and you get right away what undergirds his Trump-phobic tome, "Fear: Trump in the White House." Naively, the president had expected to fulfill his revolutionary campaign promises to the American voters, an assumption that threw Woodward and the D.C. elites for a loop. If past is prologue, voters don’t‐and should not‐get their way. After all, the views of Trump voters on American power are polar opposites of those held by the permanent state. What does "Boobus Americanus" know? Nothing! Woodward and the New York Times’ anonymous anti-Trump whistleblower consider the president to be stark raving bonkers for not grasping that Rome on the Potomac moves to its own beat. It does not respond to voters, except to mollify them with "bread and circuses." Mostly reflexively, not always consciously, The Powers That Be seek to retain and enlarge their sphere of influence. Nothing, not even the venerated vote, is allowed to alter that "balance." |
