After Obama splashed gasoline on the Trayvonista uprisings Friday, again explicitly identifying with the violent hooligan who attacked George Zimmerman (“Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago” — yeah right) and even denouncing white women for clutching their purses nervously when blacks (who are eight times more likely to commit robbery than other races according to the federal government itself) step onto the elevator, it was too much to expect that the people who installed him in power would call him out for being irresponsible. But are gratuitous insults to our intelligence really necessary? AP led off its piece on the speech with an oversized version of this:

[Photos of a young Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman.]

Can they possibly be serious? By now everyone on the planet knows that it was not a cherubic 12-year-old who repeatedly bashed Zimmerman’s skull against the sidewalk but a full-grown thug just short of 18. This could be yet another example of information gatekeepers taking the Big Lie strategy to the point of self-parody — or maybe it is a tacit admission by the “mainstream” media that it has no credibility left to lose among anyone except Kool-Aid–guzzling cretins who like to be told how special they are for swallowing establishment ideology.
