Concerning the President’s admitted lie concerning immigration policy, a reader writes:
No, they’re not that desperate. No, it’s not lack of planning (although they may well lack that ability). It’s completely in line with narcissistic behavior. The media are worried they may not trust him again? Hello? Under which rock have they been the past decade? Journalists continue to amaze me for how incredibly STUPID they can be.
I think they’re paranoid sociopaths who are afraid of the prescriptions of experts.
On the other point, journalists, by the nature of their job, must exercise a certain a priori restraint in order to retain credibility and build readership; but their ire at being misled should be equal in magnitude to their restraint. It is in the latter aspect that they’ve fallen down – every single lie should have been identified and roundly shafted right on the front page, leaving no doubt as to his mendacity.
