The Obamafication of Macron

Even The Australian has fallen under the spell with the following comment:

Days earlier, Mr Macron had stood up to Mr Putin with cold dignity at a meeting in the Palace of Versailles, where he put the hardened Russian President in his place.

Get the drift? Putin's bad and 'putting him in his place' is something tough world leaders do, so Macron must be a tough world leader. Trump on the other hand doesn't 'put Putin in his place' so he's not a tough world leader. Or worse!!!!

If you want to see just how low the media can drop the bar in unabashed worship, you just can't go past the ever reliable New York Times. They love him so much they could be the Paris Times. If you want to read the article, you can follow this linkbut you'll need to take a shower afterwards.

So history repeats. A candidate with virtually no real life experience and puffed up by a flattering media, takes on a job out of his depth and is continually given gold stars on his text books because he is making such a good effort.
