◼ PART I - Patrick Hedger/Human Events
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is the current darling of progressives in politics and those in the media pretending to be objective journalists. Warren has this passionate yet soft-spoken tone that sounds like a concerned grandmother comforting a bullied child and reassuring them everything will be all right. This sympathy charade of Warren’s has lulled the nation’s liberal media establishment into an even deeper hypnosis.
The same “journalists” who would hike to the top of Mount Everest, twice, to catch a prominent Republican make an unscripted comment they could take completely out of context can’t seem to produce painfully substance-devoid fluff pieces about Warren fast enough. This has lead to pieces like “Elizabeth Warren was told to stay quiet, but she didn’t – and it’s paying off,” from the Washington Post. That article, written by the prominent newspaper’s “Policy Editor” Zachary Goldfarb, is all politics and lacks any hard policy. This trend is undoubtedly good news for Warren, but bad news for the rest of the country.
