I mean, who are these people?

Valerie Jarret, “assistant to the president for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs for the Obama administration”, a so-called “senior advisor”, gets interviewed by CNN’s Campbell Brown, and they start talking about bias in the news:

BROWN: So do you think Fox News is biased?

JARRETT: Well, of course they’re biased. Of course they are.

BROWN: Well, then do you also think that MSNBC is biased?

JARRETT: Well, you know what, this is, this is the thing. I don’t want to — actually, I don’t want to just generalize all Fox is biased or that another station is biased. I think what we want to do is to look at it on a case-by-case basis. And when we see a pattern of distortion, we’re going to be honest about that pattern of distortion.

BROWN: But you only see that at Fox News. That’s all, that you’ve only spoken out about Fox News.

JARRETT: That’s actually not true.

Well, yeah, actually, it is — at the very least, Fox is the one getting pretty much singled out.

But BUT, then Jarret delivers this priceless line:

I think that what the administration has said very clearly is that we’re going to speak truth to power.

The White House.

The Official Residence of the President of the United States of America.

The most Powerful Office in the World.

Is going to Speak Truth to Powah!

As embodied in Fox News.

Excuse me while I giggle myself to death on the pure deliciousness.

update:

Of course, the moment I post this, I find Glenn Reynolds pointed this out less than an hour ago. He calls it “delusions of powerlessness”.
