Remember way back when Obama made his speech in Berlin in 2008? It looked like this:
Barack Obama speech in Berlin, 2008
For some reason, though his latest speech was in the same place at nearly the same time, no one is providing any aerial shots of it. I haven't even been able to find any pictures from ground level, with the lens zoomed out enough to show a large part of the area around the Brandenburg gate.
I wonder why not?
Obama had an audience of around 200,000 people in 2008... and he wasn't even elected yet.
Now that people have gotten a good dose of his style of government, his speech yesterday drew... maybe 4,500 people.
Pictures of that would be an outright embarrassment. The best the photographers seem to be able to do is this:
Barack Obama speech in Berlin, 2013
Apparently the "news" media's job has changed. It's not longer concerned with reporting what happened. It is trying to avoid embarrassing Obama.
