WashPost's "moderate" ho RICHARD COHEN, provides TEXT-BOOK example of Post's "DEFEND Neo-Con ELITES" tendencies....

Well, there they go again! What is AMAZING about this EXCELLENT Buzzflash.com editor's editorial, is that Buzzflash & its editor are die-hard, 100% Obama supporters. Buzzflash written, edited, & published, in fact, in Chicago, then Senator Barack Obama's POWER-BASE, CHICAGO, Illinois; where Buzzflash writers were such unabashed Obama supporters that they went into a financial crisis of their own when Hillary Clinton's Neo-Con "Democratic" supporters stopped funding Buzzflash for a spell, as Buzz (and other "liberal" websites & columns) documented Hillary's increasingly erratic, increasingly duplicitous (lying), increasingly RACIST attacks on then Senator Obama's campaign.)
Well, Buzzflash REMAINS vocal and ardent Obama supporters today, which is what makes this editorial so amazing: Mr. Karlin detailing JUST HOW ENTITLED, CORRUPT, and SELF-SERVING Mr. Obama's Economics advisor LAWRENCE SUMMERS is, but Karlin going after WASHINGTON POST op-ed columnist RICHARD COHEN as the prime focus of this particular column!
Washington Post Columnist Richard Cohen Hearts Larry Summers: Tales of the D.C. Elite "Village People"
BUZZFLASH EDITOR'S BLOG

Those who frequent the progressive sites know that the term "villager" has come to describe D.C. insiders who protect each other’s privileged status.

A risible case in point is the April 7th column of veteran WASHINGTON POST 'journalist' [sic] Richard Cohen, who makes the LUDICROUS argument that hedge fund multi-millionaire and Wall Street protector Larry Summers is a victim of harsh attacks. Cohen’s main contention is that Summers is serving us at great sacrifice to his personal fortune....
Now here is Buzzflash's MASTERPIECE paragraph that gets to THE ROOT of Economic crisis 2008-2009:
"Now, given that Summers is the fox in the hen house, along with Geithner, it’s a little hard to swallow Cohen’s impassioned defense of Summers as a "public servant." After all, Summers made millions from the same people that he is now helping to give billions to, even though they screwed up the economy – and he benefited like a bandit from their greed."
We would love to post the column in full to give it its due, but Buzzflash's editors & publisher probably would not approve of the "SHRILL" tone we have here at Media Whores USA.
(And, just to repeat, KEEPING UP with the LIARS, TRAITORS, and HATE-MONGERS of the Radical Right & their "Mainstream Media" whores, is like WORKING IN A toxic, poisonous CESS-PIT and NEVER getting a break!)
Oh... speaking of "SHRILL" and "HATE-MONGERS" !! -

Today's Buzzflash.com also contains an excellent link to our other favorite (despised) theme here at MEDIA WHORES USA,
#1. the LINKS between the MEDIA WHORES and their abject, craven, lying, deceitful support for the FINANCIAL LOOTING of the entire US economy; and
#2. the LINKS between the "MAINSTREAM MEDIA" and the RADICAL-RIGHT-WING HATE-INCITING talkers and TV & print media personalities... in this case, Buzzflash providing a book review and purchase-link to an excellent book on exactly that critical topic;
The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right

WILL America SURVIVE the COMPLACENCY and COMPLICITY of the "Demcorat" administration & Congress, to the RIGHT-WING FINANCIAL LOOTING of the entire US Economy, and to RIGHT-WING HATE-MONGERS trying to _BLAME_ that SERIAL FRAUD & economic destruction on the Democrats and on "liberal" programs??

Well, you could say that Vietnam "survived" the Vietnam war... or that Japan "survived" WWII and the nuclear bombing of two of its cities, and firebombing of dozens of its other cities.... the word "survived" in those cases just glossing over rivers of destruction, despair, and disaster.
