"I believe that I am one of the most tolerant presidents in the world," he told The Associated Press last month.
Very tolerant, indeed. There is one certain way to secure yourself hostile press, and that is to antagonize the press. Sorry to say so, but all studies prove that it is counter-productive, even if you could argue journalists should be above responding to (verbal) abuse against their profession.
About clamping down on the press, he is probably right though. Everybody's doing it these days. It's a veritable shooting gallery out there. Watch out, next they'll be lynching poets in the street.
I hope you had a good laugh at the statement. I did.
"I believe that I am one of the most tolerant presidents in the world," is not a nice statement from a leader. Read about what people think about you but then who is the writer? There was a time when mainstream media was relevant, the stupid, loyal and humble citizen has died with the advent of weblogs.
