The Meme of the Day

http://washingtonindependent.com/35565/another-gaffe-that-wasnt

I don't pay attention to the MSM for a little while and I totally miss a new press meme. Apparently the MSM is all worked up that Obama "relies on a teleprompter." First, what is wrong with using a teleprompter. Don't tell me they think their anchors don't use one. They must after all realize that news people are basically incapable these days of any independent thought. Second, they should be thrilled that we now have a president who can actually read. Third, don't they notice that during his press conference he doesn't use one. However, the meme has become prevalent enough that they now see gaffes where none exist, like on St Patrick's Day the Irish PM by accident started reading Obama's speech, so Obama made joke by pretending to give the Irish PM's speech. Of course, the noise machine took this as proof that Obama is a robotic reader of teleprompters. Does the invention of the internet or the Love Canal have any resonance. Just ask Al Gore if the MSM is able to admit error, and correct misinformation.
