America’s not a republic, but a royal court staffed with courtiers

And the courtiers are the mainstream liberal journalists, along with the masses of readers who uncritically swallow what the journalists have to offer. What other conclusion can you draw from the endless stream of articles about every detail of Obama’s vacation in Martha’s Vineyard? Why should we, the American people, give a damn where and what Obama is eating, where he goes with his wife on a “date,” where his daughters go on a boating trip, and all the rest of it? The world is filled with interesting and urgently important things happening, but all the American media seem to care about is what the president and his family are doing on their vacation.
