More Absolutely Justified America Hating

From yesterday's Independent. We certainly agree w/ the implications in the headline, but we're going to pick a pair of nits to keep in practice.

The election of Obama – a black man with an anti-conservative message – as a successor to George W. Bush has scrambled the core American right's view of their country.

We'll grant that Americans think "one drop" qualifies anyone as "black," but we don't know where "anti-conservative" comes from. And let's not get carried away w/ "landslide," either. Let alone "massive landslide."

a majority of Americans in a massive landslide, it simply didn't compute.

The piece goes on to summarize, we presume mostly for Limeys & other non-Americans, the silliness in these United Snakes.

For example:

The American media then presents itself as an umpire between "the rival sides", as if they both had evidence behind them.

It's "objective," alright. The only problem is that it isn't real. As if anything is.
