The Obama Administration counts on the news media to serve as its echo chamber - unquestioningly spewing out talking points and narratives crafted by the administration. You know it and I know it. We talk about it all the time. It's so obvious we even bother to express any outrage about it a lot of the time, because there would scarcely be any point to that. We simply bake in media bias in all our discussions about how to combat the agenda of the left.
But it's quite astonishing to see Ben Rhodes, one of Obama's top mouthpieces and foreign policy advisors, actually brag, on the record, about how he uses these gullible clods to do his bidding for them. And he's not just bragging in generalities. He's naming names and explaining how the strategy works, all in an interview with the New York Times that was - as you might imagine - more fawning than damning.
