Gerbilism: must be all those fact checkers

Big Media prides itelf on being better edited than blogs which, generally (including this one), aren’t edited at all. So why is Newsweak saying “Republicans stood together against Social Security and Medicare, and when those programs proved popular, opposing them left a residue of distrust for the GOP.”

Oh, that’s just Eleanor Clift, the Helen Thomas of magazine gerbilism. These Democrat shills are history-challenged and always have been. Fortunately there’s the blogs to correct them, including the item that eighty percent of Republicans backed Social Security and Medicare was co-sponsored by a Republican and backed by a majority of them. Dan’s right, Eleanor should replace Helen. If only for the comic relief.

Gerbilism

From journalism to gerbilism in the Age of Obama:

"Gerbilism is an apt term for something that’s soft and warm and cuddly, safe and timid, with no sharp teeth and no bite whatsoever."

Haw.
