Leftist Media Whine Idiotic “Binders” Meme Hurt Obama’s Campaign
Bad polling out for Obama elicits an innocent observation from someone at Buzzfeed:
It feels like the Obama campaign is falling into same trap Romney did over the summer, when they let every Biden "gaffe" drive their message

Famed “Journolister” Dave Weigel defends Obama campaign, shockingly… I mean it’s not like the Obama team pushed the stupid “binders” meme or anything right? lol!
@daveweigel @mckaycoppins Exactly. And it went viral with the help of a certain up and coming Web site. Some self-awareness in order, here.

Awwww… editor at the New Republic thinks Buzzfeed is at fault for the Obama team polling debacle!!
Uh oh.. Buzzfeeder ain’t havin’ none of that responsibility business! Not “today” when the Buzzfeed offices are all depressed over low Obama numbers…. especially when it seems like Alec is implying they’re all on the same side – Obama’s!
@mckaycoppins I'm serious. How can you help build up a meme like "binders" and then turn around and lament its dominance on the trail?
— Alec MacGillis (@AlecMacGillis) October 18, 2012
Yeah! We all know we want Obama to win, right Buzzfeeder? Oh wait.. you don’t want to admit that?!?! The Buzzfeeder reasserts his objectivity… in case people are watching!
@mckaycoppins Agreed on that, definitely. Just think we all need to be a bit more aware of our own role in inflating the petty stuff.

You’re right, buzzfeeder, maybe we all have some responsibility for this disaster!
And to cap it all off as usual, is a whiny tweet from Oliver Willis, stomping his foot that Buzzfeed won’t admit their fault!
@owillis Ha, tell me about it. All of us, man, we've got no personal agency. None at all.

Would someone PLEASE bring up abortion to scare women?!?! Anyone?!
@EdCarson1 Yeah, but there's a discussion today about whether Romney is 100% pro-life.

Phew! That was close…
Ahhhh… must suck to be a leftist today. Just wait till November 6th!
UPDATE:
Dave Weigel follows up by disparaging a conservative criticism after galloping snarkily on the liberal “binders” meme. Can you taste the hypocrisy?
