MSNBC Skips Solyndra Completely; Liberals Realize Obama's A Loser

Fox News Watch seems to be worth watching this week (when is it even on? I thought Sunday).

First, Jim Pinkerton notes Newsbuster's report that MSNBC had completely avoided any mention of Solyndra.

And then Pinkerton and Judith Miller discuss liberals distancing themselves from Obama, and criticizing him in more dangerous terms than usual. That is, it's always easy for liberals to say Obama's not leftist enough. Nonsense, but that's the kind of thing they say to pull him further to the left. But to start questioning whether he knows what he's doing, or if he's even "serious" about his jobs bill -- that's tougher stuff.

We always see this, but usually not until after a failed election. The moment Martha Coakley loses, it's safe to say she's an idiot and a horrible campaigner and out of touch and so on. Same with David Weprin from NY9.

It's not merely safe to do this; it's necessary. The blame must always fall on the expendable; the disposable troops get the blame. The blame must never fall on the animating doctrine of the transnational progressive movement.

It's a tough thing, but you can throw a president under the bus. You can never throw liberalism itself under the bus.
