JONI ERNST lookie, Jack !! Ernst’s down-home niceness was clearly seen as more relevant to these profiles than some of her not-so-nice policy positions in the past election period. NEXT are the sort of things you would tell people if you thought it was important to know the worldview of the person picked by the Republican Party to provide an opposing view to the president. BUT corporate media’s interest in the content of her rebuttal doesn’t go much beyond whether she “comes up with another witty ‘Make ‘em squeal’ line.” HOW ABOUT THIS: (FAIR Blog, 11/4/14) – like saying that Obama had “become a dictator” (Yahoo News, 7/8/14), a stance that would seem germane to Ernst being picked to rebut the president’s speech. Or her endorsement of legislation that would “authorize state and local law enforcement to arrest federal officials attempting to implement” the Affordable Care Act (Talking Points Memo, 10/3/14). Or that she carries a “beautiful little Smith & Wesson, 9 millimeter,” in her purse in part to protect her “from the government, should they decide that my rights are no longer important” (Huffington Post, 10/22/14). This is aside from her conspiracy theory (Mother Jones, 9/25/14) that the United Nations is planning on: ****moving people off of their agricultural land and consolidating them into city centers, and then telling them that you don’t have property rights anymore. These are all things that the UN is behind, and it’s bad for the United States and bad for families here in the state of Iowa.*** billmoyers/2015/01/26/corporate-media-dont-want-know-joni-ernst/
