Tommy Christopher’s New Assignment: Covering Speaker Boehner’s Resignation

Neutral Objective Headline of the Day:
Speaker John Boehner Should Resign For
His Unprecedented Insult To The President
That’s from Tommy Christopher at Mediaite, who adds:
The media, meanwhile, ought to abandon its fetish foe false objectivity, and recognize the facts. All parties agree the President gave the Speaker sufficient notice, and I cannot think of another president in history whom the media would suggest should have been preempted by a routine political debate, certainly not in a time of national crisis. The media is complicit in the insult through its failure to recognize this.
While I’m not familiar with Tommy’s term “fetish foe false objectivity,” I certainly do not believe that journalists must be strictly neutral in every political conflict. However, a tendency toward emotional hysteria is not generally desireable in this line of work.
Tommy: We are talking about the scheduling of a speech.
As for the “time of national crisis,” it hasn’t even impinged on the president’s golf schedule. The matter of postponing his World-Historic Address to a Joint Session of Congress — “Four score and seven revised-downward jobs reports ago . . .” — from Wednesday to Thursday hardly seems the kind of “unprecedent insult” that would require the resignation of the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Jim Hoft accuses Tommy of a “hissy fit.”
Another Unprecedented Insult! In a Time of National Crisis!
Jim Hoft must resign from the blogosphere!
