The Media Is STOOPIT
Just a note about how sick and tired I am of the media in the USA.
This business of the president "leaking" information is so illustrative of their stupidity that it sickens me. It is also a perfect example of their agenda driven "reporting".
For the record, a president CANNOT "leak" information. It is NOT possible. Anything a president releases is, by its very nature, no longer classified. The president is in charge of this information and it is his responsibility to decide when it may be released and when it should not.
Now, it may be inadvisable that a president release one bit of info or another, but it is NOT an illegal leak, regardless of its advisability.
Now, what can we make of the media and their constant refrain of a "leaking" president? Are they merely too stupid to know what they are doing, or are they employing negative phraseology in order to erode further the president's approval ratings? That is the question. But, I don't think the answer is an either or proposition. I believe it is both.
The media thinks that the president DID "leak" this information (because they are too stupid to understand what role and capabilities the president has) and they are, in turn, using this misunderstood concept to then undermine the president. They think that this is a perfect "Gotcha" moment. And they are further misinforming the American people with this nonsense.
It really is a truism that a liberal cannot be an informed person and still be a liberal.
