It's always the Dems' fault one way or another according to the corporate media [View all]

The latest example was their coverage of the inspiring opening of the Obama Presidential Center ceremony and the glimpse at what we once had and what we could have again. That seemed to trigger many inside the beltway talking heads to become almost parodies of themselves.

Here's one unbelievable example: after covering the ceremony on CNN, Jonah Goldberg gave his take. Are you ready? This is what it boiled down to as I recall it. Sure, sure, that Obama guy was cool and all that, but it's his fault that we ended up with trump,

I kid you not. And yes, Goldberg is anti trump. But he went on to say that Obama acted like he was the only moral one and was basically had a kind of holier than thou attitude even though more than half the country disagreed with him. That turned off people so badly that they went for trump according to Jonah who gets paid to say these things.

Okay, first of all Obama won the majority of the vote in both elections, so a majority agreed with him. Second, it is the republicans who gave and continue to give trump his power, willingly and slavishly, even now. It is their fault.

We can't let them rewrite history and try to shame Democrats in advance for being to daring and trying to do too much. That's what this rewriting of history is all about.
