Get a load of the propaganda churned out by McClatchy’s DC bureau and which infests about one-quarter of the Uptown paper of record’s local newshole.
It is a profile of Amy Tiemann, a leftwing Chapel Hill social activist. The piece is so full of bromides — Euro-style welfare benefits are “family friendly” — it should be a PR release. But worst of all is the tone that suggets that Tiemann is some sort of superhero for — wait for it — having kids and staying politically active. The wonder of it all!
Me, I have no idea how anyone could have kids, be a primary caregiver to them, and not be politically active, not speak out about all the insane stuff our so-called leaders at all levels are doing to us and our kids each and everyday.
But Amy Tiemann is special — she wants to give those leaders more control over our lives, more socialized medicine, more government day care, and she raises money for John Edwards. By all means let’s blow 55 column inches of our Charlotte newshole on her.
McClatchy editors, an oxymoron.
Bonus Observation: Tiemann’s group is a 501c(4) organization with ties to the George Soros-funded Democracy In Action network.
