Who Hasn't Figured it Out?

I would like to cite the following brief post from Atrios in full:

"Nobody Cares About The Deficit

Especially the ones who screech the loudest about it.
After all these years you'd think reporters would have figured out this game, but oh well."

Atrios, I love ya' but I'm afraid you haven't figured out the game either.

The "reporters" in the mainstream "press" are not there to figure things out. They are there for the sole purpose of deluding the American people into putting the Republicans back in power, so they can get on with their looting of our economy.

Otherwise, why did they collaborate for weeks with the Republican party in grandstanding about an Obama bill to spend $50 billion to aid small business, publicizing the Republicans' hollow screams that this was a budget-buster; but they seem totally uninterested in the current Republican plan to pass tax cuts for the rich which the CBO says will cost three trillion dollars?

Everyone who follows the economy in this country knows that, except for World War II, Republicans have been responsible for all of the budget deficit in this country. And that includes the red ink we are running now, which is a direct consequence of the criminal mismanagement of the economy by the last Republican administration; the alternative being a depression. Yet the press does not allow, but collaborates with the Republicans to delude the American public into returning to a national economic policy which consists of absolutely nothing but plundering the wealth of 99% of the American people, to turn it over to the rich.
