    It’s a press release from the White House. Why would you need a journalist to stenograph it for it to become news?

    And OP’s description is good, it helps cut through the typical liberal mealy-mouthed framings that are, otherwise, the only ones you would ever hear.

      But who will chew up this statement and feed it to me like a baby bird. How am I supposed to form an opinion without a media propagandist telling me what to think!

      Because like Yogthos said, the only consumption liberals do comes pre-digested by the Jake Tappers, Rachel Maddows, and Wolf Blitzers of the world. It’d be funny in a disgusting way if these milquetoast know-nothing partisans didn’t have hands on the levers of the world.
