The View from Abroad 0
Marc Pitzke of Der Spiegel looks at the Republican aspirants for the presidential nomination and is not amused.
No mainstream American pundit would dare be so frank.
A snippet:
Tough times demand tough and smart minds. But all these dopes have to offer are ramblings that insult the intelligence of all Americans — no matter if they are Democrats, Republicans or neither of the above. Yet just like any freakshow, this one would be unthinkable without a stage (in this case, the media, strangling itself with all its misunderstood “political correctness” and “objectivity”) and an audience (the party base, which this year seems to have suffered a political lobotomy).
And so the farce continues. The more mind-boggling its incarnations, the happier the US media are to cheer first one clown and then the next, elevating and then eliminating “frontrunners” in reliable news cycles of about 45 days.
Who needs anti-American propaganda (remember “anti-American propaganda”?) with these folks in the news?
