The Media Get's The Knives Out

Just as I said in an earlier post, the corporate controlled MSM instead of issuing congratulations to Nancy Pelosi for winning a unanimous vote of her peers to be the Speaker of the House, they would focus on her supposed and their created meme "leadership weakness", because her choice for Majority Leader lost the caucus election. I ask you to decide - was I wrong? Take a look at the current headlines: From CNN.com: Pelosi wins No. 1 spot, loses battle over No. 2 From Reuters via Yahoo! News: Democrats defy Pelosi, elect Hoyer House leader From ABC The Note's Mark Halperin and friends: Nancy's Boys - Can't We All Just Get Along? From MSNBC: Democrats pick Hoyer as House majority leader Lawmakers select him over Speaker Pelosi ally Rep. John Murtha - just a note here - the picture on the politics front page showed Nancy Pelosi with the caption..."Pelosi loses first battle as Hoyer beats Murtha"... I rest my case. This one is a big disappointment. From David Corn at The Nation: Murtha Loses--And So Does Pelosi. Included in his article, he states There's no way to spin this: this was a big loss for incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The vote wasn't close. Her ally was rejected. This reflects poorly on her. And it will be remembered by her political opponents--particularly those who want to undermine Pelosi's efforts to enact lobbying and campaign reform--that in this contest she endorsed a fellow who has long been accused of slippery ethics. Ummm David - I hate to point this out to you but Hoyer isn't so damn squeaky clean either. BTW her political opponents are going to say what they want and don't need you to help them along. I still have to ask these so-called "gentlemen"...."What's the matter boys - can't take a strong female being in a position of power?"
