Two mature takes, on President Obama's 2009 Nobel Peace Prize nomination, we did NOT hear regularly in the news: 1) it was like giving an Academy Award to a Director in the hopes he'll make a great film one day (which he never did) and 2) Obama became Jimmy Carter faster than Jimmy Carter became Jimmy Carter.
The newspapers said just the opposite.
Here's Hitchens in 2009, noticing Obama and Hillary Clinton's "unbelievably patronizing attitude toward the Heartland" - one of the very things that led to President Donald Trump's win in 2016 - which is a long time for Obama to have been an asshole,...without him, his supporters, or the media, noticing.
They didn't notice Hillary's first, real political act was to actively humiliate a black guy. So, they also did NOT notice, it wouldn't be the last time the Clintons decided ambushing a black person could earn them a ticket on the road to riches.
American newspapers don't print anything, the way it is, anymore.
Before it was fashionable to call people "cult members", Hitch was already saying the Clintons knew how to create them, but the media, generally, hasn't ever been reporting that.
Especially not this cult member.
I pity poor Francis Wheen, who wrote his great books on it, nobody (else) read.
