Third Grade All Over Again
Headline - Leaked Speech Reveals Jab Obama Will Take At Trump.
Then it was reported that in one of her speeches Michelle Obama took a jab at Trump. Trump is taking jabs at everybody. Hillary is taking jabs at anyone who will hold still.
It’s like being back in the 3rd grade. “I’m gonna punch you at recess.”
“Not before I punch you at recess.”
“I’m gonna punch you so hard at recess.” “Not before I punch you harder at recess.”
I mean we were in the 3rd grade, did you expect Shakespeare?
Now if you read what these people actually said, the problem is that the “jabs” are mostly in the imagination of the media, just like the 3rd grade punches never quite turned out to be anything worth worrying about.
So why is the media tantalizing, or think they are tantalizing, their readers with the news that somebody is going to jab somebody else? To suck them into reading the story and hopefully moving on to the ads that are attached, or hanging around for ‘a word from our sponsors.’ After all, they are in the business of selling products for companies, and ‘news’ stories are just the medium to guide you to the ads.
