Richard Wolfe, referring to the one or several media hacks who generally despise and disrespect President Obama, but who were mentioned here for having seemed to approve of the President's speech in Cairo, he said of them...
"...they're never really going to break through with that audience"
If I'm interpreting that brief reference correctly, then there's a lot there to think and even talk about.
He's reminding us that these many media hacks, specifically the ones on cable television who are called 'pundits', whoever it is that watches and listens to them, is obviously in truth called their "audience"... and whoever in this world has what you call an audience, they either please or displease their audience, or endear them or alienate them, by the things they say... and so what Richard Wolfe said is interesting to me.
Because some of these media hacks and other Obama bashers, maybe they're getting the memo, maybe they're getting the ratings, and seeing that the American People have a great deal of approval and faith in and even affection for, President Obama : and that those same People, they may have little approval of and trust in, and even might despise and disrespect, these cable television 'pundits'.
And you might think "OK, so these 'pundits' could be suspected of toning it down on President Obama, as a way of currying favor with their 'audience', and with the American People in general... but isn't that the same thing as saying they're not objective or honest, that they're insincere and self-serving and even manipulative of their 'audience', and that they don't have any real integrity?"
Sure, that's what it could mean... that's something you could take away from Richard Wolfe's observation about "they're never really going to break through with that audience"
I mean unless you're new to these cable television 'pundits', you must have already known this about them, that they're just a bunch of insincere self-serving dishonest manipulative weasels... if you didn't already know this, then what, did you just now get cable in your area?
