The Latest "Ooops" from State-Run Media

The New York Times published a piece about the White House Chief of Staff, Denis McDonough on Wednesday: "The Hard Charger at Obama's Side Has His Hands Full." I found it basically unnoteworthy, except for the wonky juxtaposition of this text with the accompanying photo.

".... At the center of these challenges is Mr. McDonough, the ramrod-straight scorekeeper from Minnesota with the close-cropped, prematurely graying hair and the bearing of a military man, even though he never served."

Strange, isn't it? The pacifist NYT despises military men and all things military, but is more than willing to use militaristic tropes in a hopeless attempt to turn a mediocrity into a mensh. This isn't journalism -- it's jejune juvenilia written by jellyfish for jaundiced jerks.
