The great media slide continues

Washington Times, by Wesley Pruden Original Article

Posted By: Maryland_Patriot- 9/28/2012 12:33:08 PM Post Reply

The distrust of the media becomes total. That’s hardly news to anyone, except to the clueless editors and publishers of the big newspapers and the big mules of the television networks, who see their audiences shrinking and wonder why. A new survey by Gallup asked Americans how much trust and confidence they have in the mass media — newspapers, television and radio — when it comes to reporting the news fully, accurately and fairly: a great deal, a fair amount, not very much, or none at all. The result shows that “trust” disappeared long ago. Trust becomes disgust.

Senate Republicans Challenge
Obama’s Recess Appointments

New York Times, by Ashley Southall Original Article

Senate Republicans have filed a friend-of-the-court brief challenging President Obama’s appointments to the National Labor Relations Board, reigniting a confrontation over presidential power. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, announced on Wednesday that 42 of the 47 Republicans in the Senate had signed the petition filed in the federal appeals court in Washington. The lawmakers argued that the Senate was not in recess in January when Mr. Obama appointed three lawyers to the labor board and Richard Cordray as the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

At Huffington Post, Howard Fineman recently gave chapter and verse on how President Obama isn’t being called to account — “pinned against the wall” — for the abysmal economy, his failed first-term promises or the enduring stalemate in budget talks. He gives several reasons, and winds up with this: “MEDIA. Obama was such a cool and uplifting story to so many in the media in 2008 that they essentially ceded ground to him that they have yet to reclaim. He ran a tightly controlled message campaign then, and has run an even more tightly controlled White House

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) Consumer Advisory Board, which meets Thursday for the first time in St. Louis, contains numerous Democratic donors, including a member of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). The CFPB—a controversial organization with massive oversight powers over financial institutions and little accountability that was created as part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation—announced the members of the board on Sept. 12. CFPB director Richard Cordray said in a statement, “This group of experts truly represents the interests of the diverse people and communities we serve.” The board is not nearly as politically diverse as

A prominent defender of Elizabeth Warren's legal work while on the Harvard faculty has been presented with new facts and conceded that she is in heap big trouble. I wrote about Mark Thompson's defense of her right to file briefs in federal court three days ago. But the remarkable William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection has now discovered that Warren represented a Massachusetts client in Massachusetts, and Thompson has conceded the case. Professor Jacobson has uncovered this morning a case in which Elizabeth Warren entered an appearance in a federal appellate court as a representative of a Massachusetts client

On 9/11, as radical Islamic terrorists were attacking the U.S. consulate in Libya and their sympathizers were raising Al Qaeda banners above the U.S. embassy in Cairo--all, we were later told by the Obama administration, due to outrage at a film--a debate was held at the city council meeting of Santa Monica, CA. Troubled residents wanted to know why the city had banned non-profit groups from running ads on the sides of city buses. Why couldn’t a good cause, such as the AIDS Walk, be promoted? one man asked. Is it fair that only for-profit companies can make use

During the White House Press gaggle aboard Air Force One today, a concerned reporter questioned Traveling Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki whether the president was “doing any work to prepare for Romney potentially trying to get under his skin.” “I will say that the President is familiar with his own loquaciousness and his tendency to give long, substantive answers,” Psaki replied citing Obama’s performance at the Univision forum and the NBC Education interview.

There was a video leading the Drudge Report on Thursday afternoon of a poor black woman with messed-up teeth saying she's voting for President Obama because he gave her a free phone, and perhaps you have some questions about it. Questions like: Is this video racist? Is Obama really giving away phones? Is anyone really bothered by these Obama Phones? And, come on, this is just blatant racism, right? We'll try to answer them.

Senate Democrats have officially taken credit for Osama bin Laden’s death in a memo listing the “accomplishments” of the 112th Congress. “With Senate Democrats’ support, President Obama made finding and killing bin Laden a top priority for U.S. national security and executed a focused, sustained effort that succeeded in killing the world’s most wanted terrorist. Senate Democrats supported and amplified President Obama’s counterterrorism strategy by investing more in intelligence efforts and providing funding to expand the role of Special Operations Forces in Afghanistan,” states a memo from the Democratic Policy and Communications Center obtained by The Washington Examiner.

Islamofascism: President Obama seems to be under the illusion the Muslim world is more tolerant than the West. Its immigration policies are perhaps the clearest evidence that's wildly untrue. Referring to the Muhammad video during his U.N. speech this week, Obama lectured Americans about "intolerance" toward Islam. "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam," he said. "It is time to heed the words of Gandhi: 'Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.'" He actually believes Muslims have heeded those words.

In the multi-level Lincoln Park home of one of the biggest political donors in America, first lady Michelle Obama implored a crowd of about 200 people on Thursday not to take anything for granted. The Nov. 6 election is too close, she warned. “The only guarantee you have in this election is it will be closer than the last one,” she said. “Focus with me,” said the first lady, dressed in a cream-colored pants suit, putting her fingers up to her eyes. She then told the crowd not to take anything for granted.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who is a key player in national cybersecurity efforts, said on Friday she doesn't use e-mail. "Don't laugh, but I just don't use e-mail at all," she said during a discussion at a Cybersecurity Summit hosted by National Journal and Government Executive. She didn't explain what communications tools she does use. President Obama, who appointed Napolitano, broke precedent by carrying his own BlackBerry device. But in response to a question about her personal cybersecurity practices, Napolitano said she avoids many online services. "I don't have any of my own accounts.

New poll: Romney overtakes
Obama on terrorism

The foreign-policy results of the new Bloomberg National Poll haven't gotten much attention yet, but the survey contains some bad news for the Obama campaign. According to the poll, Mitt Romney has a 48-42 advantage over Barack Obama on the question of which candidate would be tougher on terrorism. Romney, in other words, has encroached on one of Obama's signature strengths. What makes this result so surprising is that the president has consistently trounced Romney when it comes to counterterrorism. A Fox News poll earlier this month found that 49 percent of respondents

In the hours following the 9/11 anniversary attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, U.S. intelligence agencies monitored communications from jihadists affiliated with the group that led the attack and members of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), the group’s North African affiliate. In the communications, members of Ansar al-Sharia (AAS) bragged about their successful attack against the American consulate and the U.S. ambassador, according to three U.S. intelligence officials who spoke to The Daily Beast anonymously because they were not authorized to talk to the press.

Romney campaign surrogate and former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu (R) blasted President Obama as too “lazy and detached” to sit through presidential briefings, and charged that Ambassador Chris Stevens paid the ultimate price for that laziness. “Look, one of the key responsibilities of a president is to keep up with the intelligence data that’s coming in and what’s going on around the world. This president has skipped about 60 percent of his personal contact Presidential Daily briefings, the PDB. That document that he skims on his iPad is a summary,” Sununu said last night on Fox.

This week it was announced that Mormon supporters of Mitt Romney are promoting a day of mass fasting and prayer to seek divine help for the Republican candidate in the upcoming Presidential debates. He’ll need it. The question is no longer whether Mitt Romney loses the election. The really interesting conundrum is: what will happen to the Republican party when he does? When Barack Obama’s reelection is confirmed--at an increasingly early hour--on the night of 6 November, it will mean the GOP has managed to secure a popular majority only once in the past quarter of a century.

CHESTER, Pa. — A group of teens violently attacked a mentally challenged woman at random in Chester and recorded the entire incident on tape. During the vicious attack, which was later posted on Facebook, the teens could be heard screaming obscenities and even laughing. Police say on Thursday morning, an anonymous Chester resident alerted police of the taped incident that was apparently posted on Facebook. The video starts as the group of teen girls are walking down Morton Avenue. Several seconds into the video, one of the girls casually walks up to the 48-year-old victim, who

If I've said it once, I've said it hundreds of times, especially when talking with young people thinking about becoming journalists: Journalism is a proud profession because it is the first line of liberty's defense. Journalists have a constitutional license to shine light in the dark places of government. That's the main reason I love my job and cannot imagine myself doing anything else. It's too bad the majority of Americans don't trust journalists. Even more distressing, though, is the fact that most of the editors, reporters, producers and researchers who occupy journalism's commanding heights don't seem to

The Obama campaign has created a series of electronic greeting card aimed at women voters. "President Obama summed up the Republican Party’s approach to women’s health when he said 'they want to take us back to the policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century,'" the Obama campaign website reads. "Send an eCard to say you won’t go back." Perhaps the oddest card in the series, though, is this one: "Dear Mom," the card reads. "Mitt Romney says he would repeal the Affordable Care Act.

A week after U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens was killed in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi, President Barack Obama sent U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice out to tell us, “What happened initially was that it was a spontaneous reaction . . . as a consequence of the video, that people gathered outside the embassy and then it grew very violent.” Actually, Mr. President . . . no. There was no “spontaneous reaction.” It was a terrorist attack, and nothing but a terrorist attack. For two weeks, Obama’s spokesman told us that this deadly attack was just a movie review gone wrong.

It’s the last mile to America’s most crucial election, and the pathway is strewn with Obama booby traps. Path trodders avoid all bumps in the road and stay on track! Walk straight, walk tall and don’t let anybody stop you from what you know you have to do. Thirty-nine days away and manufactured distractions are coming at you from every which way. Obama who has thrown and is throwing a thousand and one atrocities at the American public, will do no worse today than he’s done yesterday and all along. Like the Big Marxist Lie, the die has already been cast.

This is the moment Ann Coulter wound Whoopi Goldberg up to breaking point as she appeared on The View on Thursday to promote her controversial new book. Coulter took less than 30 seconds to get under the host's skin, confidently claiming: 'I write these books because I try to correct things people believe that are just false.' Armed with copies of Mugged, she argued that America's 'legacy of slavery' has lead to civil rights only 'belonging to blacks', much to Goldberg's disgust. Appearing exasperated to the point of near-speechlessness, Goldberg told her: 'Your facts are a
