Marc Cooper, a Dissonant regular LA Weekly writer adds his biased article to the Obamania that the media insists is ‘fair and balanced’, but is not.[2/29-3/6/08 issue]

His words adulate and elevate one male and demeans probably any female in sight. Pro The Man, bad words for his competitor with predictions galore.

For example: [re Hillary Clinton:]

“last time we will ever see Clinton..” [sounds hopeful]

“doesn’t come soon enough for me....closing the entire Clinton era....”

“her...sagging...crumbling...jumping her sinking ship....”

“her swan song, we might have seen something graceful,...we say even grand...”

“ she...now stands precariously perched on the brink of dismal defeat”

“unremitting bitterness...”

“can’t she leave us with some sort of inspiring vision, something...bigger than herself to hang on to ?...

“loves to boast...not instilled her with any sense of nobility....”

“only shriveled her soul”

“lagging Clinton’s only real hope...take a final stab” [violence is not in her known repertoire but Cooper seems convinced she is dangerous too, not just failing]

“infomercial on why Clinton is losing”

“loser...instead of a more appropriate grander gesture, we were treated to a nonstop display of pugnacious hectoring, a torrent of peevish, picayune and intellectually dishonest bickering and parsing.”

“Clinton who demanded....”

“she could pontificate...mercilessly spin every nuance of the issue...”

‘she said with a grimace”

Her health-care harangue”

“a garish display....”

“how empty even our most ‘experienced’ most veteran, best financed political figures are at the core....”

”veneer of rhetoric and situational tactics”

Cooper has a way with maligning words but is he a genuine prophet? or a wanabe ? Not a fair, kind, realistic word uttered in his diatribe. Not lauding his hero but just trashing ‘that woman’ until “the debate ended and the stage went dark. It was over. Really over.”

So is Cooper, all over the bottom in his hateful writing. Under anything resembling honorable reporting. Why not tell everyone about the virtues of the man he votes for instead of killing off that Other Presidential Candidate that won in California already..already..already.....]

Why cant our 2 largest LA newspapers share the truth, the honest story, the balanced view, the stage with anyone who qualifies to reach that level of political celebrity, be a prime nat’l Dem. candidate.

Defending and uplifting Cooper’s & Weekly’s hero, that BHObama guy is the point of his article, and the Weekly’s “Viva Obama” cartoon too. These are alongside all the sexy female bodies for sale in the Weekly.

Maybe that is what is wrong with H. Clinton ? She is not exposing her body sexily enough ?
