Michelle Obama's prerecorded speech for the first night of the Democratic convention was praised effusively and automatically by the "news" media. Because the media see it as their job to praise everything Michelle Obama does with overwhelming enthusiasm.
Please try this imaginative exercise: When has a "news" professional ever asked Michelle Obama a challenging question? When has she ever been portrayed as anything less than Barack Obama's "not-so-secret weapon"? If you want to smell a whiff of authoritarianism in America, it feels almost illegal to speak one discouraging word about the first black first lady.
Michelle Obama is America's most pampered princess, the most spoiled figure in our modern political history. Her every move is carefully prepared and managed, and no one ever disturbs her peace when she's on display. Praising her poise and her cool is mandatory, and it's easier to show poise when no one ever, ever challenges you as less than perfect.
Leading up to her taped remarks, ABC's Byron Pitts struck the typically unctuous note, saying: "I call this, George, the 'favorite auntie' speech, right? Every family has one — the cool aunt, the smart aunt, the kind aunt. And so, for the Democratic family, she is that." The networks robotically pretend absolutely everyone loves her, not just the Democrats.
After the speech, Obama was compared to a preacher. George Stephanopoulos called it "kind of a sermon on empathy." MSNBC's Joy Reid was more explicit: "That is how pastors the Sunday before the election are going to sound. She preached a word tonight, and I'm pretty sure everyone was as silent listening to that in their living rooms and sitting up straight when she began speaking."
Wrong. Most of America was watching something else. The media also praised her to the skies for her convention speech in 2016, and somehow, the Democrats still lost.
Over on CNN, Jake Tapper spoke glowingly of her oratorical gifts. "(B)efore I get to any of the content, we should just acknowledge that the former first lady is one of the most effective speakers in American politics today," he said. "In fact ... she's a more effective speaker than Vice President Joe Biden is when reading from a teleprompter."
On CBS, John Dickerson called it a "break glass in case of emergency" speech "by someone who is not a politician, who has written one of the most successful books in modern times." She "motivates Democratic voters and also makes the character claim from a nonpolitical perspective." Dickerson added, "Obviously, at a convention, it is political, but she is not a politician."

Bi Sexual Obama and Masculine Michelle
I generally don't give much credence to conspiracy theories, they are usually within the realm of the tinfoil hat congregation. Designed as click-bait for consumption by naive countrified patsies. That's not to say I don't look into them, but will usually shy away once they have been reasonably debunked lest I end up dead like that curious cat.
One conspiracy theory that refuses to go away may or may not be credible is the 'Michelle is a Man and Obama is Gay' scenario. Images are circulating that may or may not be photo-shopped, but one image of the football playing 'Michael' aka Michelle hales from pre-photoshop days.... there's a lot more, all circumstantial evidence ... one article states that Michael aka Michelle left school and had sex change surgery in January, 1983 and then entered Princeton University as Michelle Robinson, a female.
