| Even after all the e-mails and information has come out over the past few weeks proving dissembling by President Obama himself and other administration officials on what they knew about the Benghazi attack and how their public pronouncements did not match reality, NBC’s Brian Williams, on Thursday’s Rock Center, treated President Obama as a victim of bad intelligence who is struggling to find the truth. Incredible. The perfect definition of “in the tank.” Williams spent a couple of days with Obama for campaign travelogue pieces which consumed the first 25 minutes of the prime time hour. In Colorado with Obama

Comments: NBC is now gone fully propaganda. The Romney campaign hasn't as yet allowed an NBC reporter to tag along with them which is probably NOT a good idea as any reporter would be a spy for 0bama and would be seeking to sabotage their campaign.

Like his Messiah Fauxbama, who struggles with any math beyond 7th grade according to his own words, Briain Williams suffers from extremely low intelligence. Both of them need to find the rock from which they emerged and crawl back under it. If either had an I.Q. above room temperature I would be surprised.

More free campaign donations from the media.Obama has a lot of friends in high places who are as committed as he is to brainwashing people into seeing something that is there but you can't see it.All they're really doing is driving negative urnout towars Romney. But as with anything leftist,it's always drive faster inthe wrong direction.
They treat Romney with absurd pettiness while ignoring 4 people being needlessly murdered.
Think about the civil action the victims family could have in this. Foreseeability is a huge inroad to a massive lawsuit and this attack was 100%foreseeable on the ambassador's request for more security alone.

Unfortunately my parents didn't realize that Walter Cronkite was a Communist.

Mr. Williams should pray that there will soon be a President Romney to report on, just the chance to do hard hitting journalism. Yeah, I'm kidding, we all know what lazy bazoos litter the media. However, I will enjoy more exchanges like the one from the London interview this past summer:
"So here's a Republican official familiar with your campaign selection process, told the folks at Politico you are looking for a, quote, 'incredibly boring white guy' for your vice presidential nominee. Can you confirm or deny?" Romney quipped back: "You told me you were not available." Williams replied: "Touché, Governor." h/t newsbusters.com.
Heh, that left a mark. He'll have to buck up, soon he'll go back to work. No more ignoring hot spots around the world like Benghazi. Maybe if these slobs had reported on the prior attacks and investigated why no help was on the way four Americans might still be alive. This horrible isn't just on Obama's head, it's on the media's also.

Notwithstanding all the negative comments that Mr Williams truly deserves, it is very disturbing that we can no longer obtain any real news from the Main Stream Networks. I have not watched either ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, or even CNN in many years, or since Obama was elected. To get truthful and accurate news, I watch Fox Cable or use the internet. Of course I watch the MSM for sports events, but I wonder how they can be so blatantly biased, watch their ratings plummet, and still not care. They appear not to feel that they owe anything to their shareholders, who are certainly not all partisans for the Left. I neglected to state I DO watch CNBC, the Financial network, which does not appear to have NBC's tilt. It has turned into an amazingly World since the original 9/11. Obama lies repeatedly about everything and NBC simply sucks up to him. No journalism or reporting there. The Libyan attack was videod in real time to the WH situation room. OBAMA KNEW ABOUT IT, MR WILLIAMS. you jerk.

Once you know that people are dying and you can help - you do. Regardless of the initial source of the fire. Obama watched the streaming video and allowed Americans to die . To say he's cold blooded is an insult to reptiles. Would Obama have done nothing and watched four rappers or four NBA players be slaughtered ? BTW- Brian Williams' daughter is on the same HBO show as the manly tattooed creature who stars in Obama's sex ad. Coincidence ??

I continue to wonder why anyone would watch ABC, CBS, NBC, or the leftie cable channels, buy a magazine like Newsweek, a newspaper like the NYT or Washington Post...et al. I also wonder why those sponsors paying the bills and advertizing are still handing over $$. I consciously will not buy a product or in any way support anything I know comes from these dollars. And I will not buy a movie ticket or a DVD, CD or anything from one of the show biz traitors working so hard to do us in.
I tell everyone I know to do the same and would have a hard time believing that this isn't also the case in a lot of the country. When I send an email to my list and ask that it be passed along, I'm reaching a ton of people. I continue to hope that I'm not the only one sending a message with tangible actions to the $$ that are trying to destroy our country.

We at Townhall have been covering this hotly contested Senate race for months and the results are finally in: With 36 percent of precincts reporting, Elizabeth Warren has been declared the next junior Senator from Massachusetts. Warren has never held public office before and the eye-popping $40 million she raised this election cycle evidently proved more than enough to unseat incumbent Senator Scott Brown. This was the most expensive Senate race of 2012 -- by a long shot.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking. The polling, which also showed a tight race in Pennsylvania, explains why Romney officials decided to send their candidate on last-minute Election Day visits to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

Washington - Early returns on Tuesday in what is anticipated to be a dead even presidential election contained no surprises, as CNN projected President Barack Obama will win his home state of Illinois and eight other races while Republican challenger Mitt Romney will win nine states. All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides. Obama and Romney ran dead even in final polls that hinted at a result rivaling some of the closest presidential elections in history, reflecting the deep political

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

Mitt Romney is leading among independents in both Ohio and Virginia, early exit polls show. In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama. In 2008, Obama won independents in the state by

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance
