Liberal Journalist Whines About W.H. Constitutional Abuses

Silly little lefty, of course statism begets tyranny. What did you expect?

Statism knows only one party, its own. And it protects its own with an wrought-iron fist. Some on the Left are finally on the receiving end of what they’ve been advocating for all these years, and are a little surprised.

Similar to the man marveling incredulously at his bloodied stump of a forearm after retracting it from the bars of a tiger’s cage, a Lefty journalist, Jeremy Scahill, marvels incredulously over the close control this White House asserts over the press. That is this Progressive White House, Leftist White House, read: statist White House. Why is he surprised? Doesn’t he understand statism? Did he really convince himself that there was such a thing as benign statism? Hasn’t he read history at all? Such a thing never existed, at least not for long. It’s the genetic, ingrained fallibility of man that undergirds this inevitability. The inevitability of policies, tactics, and culture his side has been advocating. That’s why the Founders adopted Montesque’s Separation of Powers, they understood this truth.

Mr. Scahill, Per TheDC:

“Our profession, our trade is the only one specifically cited in the Constitution for a reason,” he said. “When all three branches of the government are colluding against the interests of the people, it’s the responsibility of journalists to hold them accountable. But this White House, like Bush’s before, they seem to want only state media. They want everything to look like MSNBC, and that’s not real journalism.”

Listening to this guy maunder on about the virtues of the First Amendment and the freedom of the press is rich, considering what he is and that his side has been circumventing, perverting, contorting, even shredding that document. (Pssst, I bet he takes an extreme and protracted hushed interest in his navel when the Second Amendment is threatened. Just a hunch.) Most of his comrades in the Press have ignored the “phony” scandals of IRS, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, etc. But stultify and ignore his preferred amendment and he gets piqued. It’s not fair that his guys are getting the fist. Please and boo hoo. You voted for him didn’t you? You asked for it, now you’re getting it… good and hard (h/t H.L. Mencken).
