HEADLINE OF THE DAY – AT 8:14 A.M. ET:  The MSM once again falls in behind the politically correct leadership of Dear Leader, who sees no evil, only misunderstanding.  A headline from Associated Press today:

NY car bomb suspect cooperates, but motive mystery

Oh dear, oh dear.  That mysterious motive again.  Can't you see that headline on December 8, 1941:

Japan attacks Pearl Harbor, but motive a mystery

This is what happens when reporters take Psychology 101 at Princeton. 

Now, is the motive for the Times Square bomber such a mystery?  Was the Fort Hood motive a mystery?  How about 9-11?  Or the attack on the USS Cole?

Now, after me, slowly say the words "Islamic extremism."

Okay, don't choke.  If you can't say them at first, try them a bit at a time.  Start with "Is..."  Work gently from there.

Then write the words in big block letters with a thick marking pen and send the paper directly to the White House.

We know what the Times Square motive was.  But the president of the United States is the host of an orgy of political correctness.  The better not to offend the brothers in the Muslim world.  Strange, but we don't seem to be doing any better in that part of the world under Obama than under Bush.  But don't tell the publisher of The New York Times. 

Journalists love to claim that they're the eyes and ears of the public.  Today, too many of them are the eyes and ears of their favored president, and the colleges they attended.
