| In an article published shortly before 5 a.m. EDT on the morning of Sept. 26, The Daily Beast's Eli Lake revealed that three separate U.S. intelligence officials confirmed to him that within 24 hours of the September 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, the Obama administration had strong reason to suspect al Qaeda ties to the deadly violence. Lake noted that the identities of at least four of the participants in the attack on the consulate were found within 24 hours, one of which has been tracked by his use of social media.

Is anyone surprised the massive Obamedia is carrying Obie's water? They have to deal in important stuff, like Obama's message to posters that now he's "pleased" with some polls, but not so pleased by others. Look for the pollsters to line up and lockstep NBC's lie of Obama being 12 points ahead and it's over for Mitt.

Of course they skipped reporting news. We underlings are under some delusion that news organizations report news. THe first rule and really the only rule for the Kneepad media is to drop on its collective knees and swallow whatever the Democrats spew forth. And the Dems will never tell the Kneepad Media to report anything that questions Da Won competence or makes Hitlery look old and tired and forgetful and silly and disastrous

It is at least heartening to see that 60% of us do not trust the media. Journalists have such high hopes coming out of college that will be iconic trailblazers in the world of media and instead they end up laying down with the rest of the dogs and professionally prostituting themselves for the lies of liberalism. Sites like this one thrive because the true elites in this country are those of us who look beyond NBC news to get at the truth.

I don't know why anyone would base anything on what they see on the "Network Morning Shows". It has been proven time and again that the MSM networks purposely omit facts and are in an unholy alliance with the Øbama regime. If we don't throw out the deceptive Øbama in November we are in for a very bad next four years. We should all throw away our TVs also and cut our ties to cable. Cable TV has morphed into some kind of monster in our lives.

Hate to keep writing this but if President Bush were in office now and all this had occurred on his watch the MSM would be sure he would not be re-elected in November.
After the election we should find a way to pay back the MSM for its shameful behavior.

If obama is desperate enough he can order a October surprise drone attack that he and state run media say took out the perpetrators of the Libya attack. obama and the media can declare a big foreign policy victory without any proof that the attack really took killed the terrorists who murdered the 4 Americans. This is obama's America. Grab a tight rein. It can only get worse.

Cabal
WILLIAMS: It’s agreed, then. All we say is that the FBI is investigating the incident and Attorney General Holder promises a full accounting of what happened once the FBI has completed the investigation at some point before the end of the century.. SAWYER: So, no context? PELLEY: When have we ever worried about context? Context is Fox’s thing. WILLIAMS: Don’t even say anything about the film or Islam. Religion is just too hot a topic right now. We’ve got to tread carefully. SAWYER: Good point. What’s your lead tonight, Brian? WILLIAMS: A former priest who claims he facilitated an affair between the Pope and an American cardinal during the last papal election. Both refused requests for interviews to present their side of the story. SAWYER: Damning. Ours is an exposé of Catholic adoption services. The records show a disproportionate number of children placed in America go to couples who are in the top 25% of income. The agencies deliberately discriminate against couples who can’t support the child. Can you imagine? WILLIAMS: And they call themselves Christians. It’s like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac saying, hey, no American dream for you: we’re not going to help you buy a house you can’t afford. What’s up at ''60 Minutes'' this weekend, Scott? PELLEY: ''Celibate Nuns: a Vanishing Breed.'' SAWYER: I’ll say. Who’s on ''Meet the Press'' Sunday, Brian? WILLIAMS: Round table: Assad, Ahmadinejad, and Mullah Omar. They’ll discuss the forthcoming fatwa against John Sununu and why freedom of speech isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. PELLEY: Who’s on the other side? WILLIAMS: Maddow, Olbermann, and Ed Shultz. SAWYER: Nice balance.

The Obama administration knew that if the media would cover them on the Fast and Furious operation that they would continue to run interference on anything that would remotely impact Obama negatively. They did, they are and they will continue to do so. It is disgusting that these lying corrupt propagandizers are not outraged by the loss of American lives that can be laid at the feet of this administration. It is all a means to an end for them and the end is Obama's re-election no matter how many Americans have to die. Obama truly is their god.

Romney should definitely use this in the first debate. (Perhaps as a follow up of the Obama Clinton debate, i.e. the 9/11 attacks in Libya shows the world and Americans what Obama does when he gets that 3 a.m. call; he rolls over in bed and goes back to sleep.)

The main stream media has become completely irrelevant.

They said they would destroy America from within and they are doing exactly what they said they would. Why are we surprised?

#11- That's not enough anymore. If the media insists on being a part of the story, it's time every citizen they interview demands answers about why they are not covering the scandals of this WH.
It's time to start protesting and using civil disobedience against the MSM. They are complicit in the destruction of our Constitution and way of life. They are derelict in their duties, and enabling the destruction of Free Speech. WE need to stop this, not wait for someone else to do it. Turning the channel is not enough. WE need to Breitbart every journalist we come into contact with, film them and demand answers.
It's past time to use Alinsy's rules against the MSM, and then against other grievance / victim protest groups and collapse it from within. Chick-Fil-A proves we can be effective. But we can't do it without action.

You don't WATCH TV INDOCTRINATION (they call it "news"), YOU MONITOR IT, and keep notes on the lies. The Diane Sawyers are sworn comrades of the TV Mafia Media, sworn to be the Protection Racket for all gvoernmet crimes, bribes and greed. While you're monitoring, cut off the sound to all pharmaceutical ads that are there solely to implant new illnesses in your dumbed down brain. Talk about propaganda. The Sawyers are bad eonough protecting fascist, commie government and Islamic world terrorism, but throw in the damage each "medicine" ad can do and network TV newswatching is dangerous.

I wonder how Obama survives all the hatred of the Muslims. Egyptian presidents Nasser and Sadat did less provocation. And they got the dirt nap. so I think all these Obama manuevers are cleared ahead of time. and Vice Versa.So there is no meaningful shooting,and just BITRs. Also Rush ran a montage of 11 reporters saying the same phrase on "47% victims etc" on the morning tv. but it happened fast-just since what obama said yesterday...

Remember how the Democrat Party and their corrupt Media Mouthpieces insisted for YEARS that we should just get over the September 11 attacks, stop using it as a campaign issue, stop mentioning it and just get on with our lives?
Well, the Democrat Party and their corrupt Media Mouthpieces DID move on. National security isn't exactly a strong issue for Democrats....
That's why they're ignoring the fact that Barack Obama failed to increase security at American embassies on September 11th, 2012, despite numerous warnings out of Libya and Egypt warning of degenerating security conditions....
They simply DON'T CARE.
More Americans were MURDERED on September 11, 2012, and the MFM can't be bothered, because asking legitimate questions might hurt the election chances of their Lord and Savior, Barack Hussein Obama....
I think I'm going to throw up.

A financial manager in Texas promises 23-percent returns but absconds with $33.5 million of his investors’ money in a classic Ponzi scheme.All three cases have one thing in common: money that ended up in offshore accounts and trusts set up in tax havens around the world.

After lengthy investigations, the Pentagon has determined that three Army generals committed misconduct in separate incidents, adding to an unusually long list of senior military commanders who have been censured over the past year.On Friday, defense officials confirmed that Army Maj. Gen. Ralph O. Baker, the commander of a strategic counterterrorism force on the Horn of Africa, was fired March 28 on charges of sexual misconduct. Two officials familiar with the case said Baker was investigated for allegedly groping a female civilian employee after he had been drinking.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Political scientist Charles Murray has never backed away from controversy, but usually his opponents have been liberals. Friday, however, he managed to upset conservatives at the annual conference known as CPAC, where thousands of bewildered Republicans gathered to figure out the way forward after their party’s 2012 electoral defeat. Murray ditched his prepared remarks on “America Coming Apart” in favor of an impromptu admonition to fellow conservatives to accept the legalization of both gay marriage and abortion.

VATICAN CITY—It took Jorge Mario Bergoglio four minutes to convince fellow cardinals he was their leader. Speaking in the Paul VI grand hall of the Vatican, the Argentine cardinal warned the Catholic Church against focusing too much on matters close to home—advice that came against the backdrop of a papacy that had been consumed by infighting among Vatican officials, a dwindling flock in Europe and secular trends in the West. The 76-year-old Father Jorge, as he is known back home, said Roman Catholicism needed to shift its focus outward, to the world beyond Rome—rather than being "self-referential," he said.

When President Obama gets to Jerusalem next week, one of the signals to listen for is an indication of what country he thinks he’s in. Normally this is clear when the President — any president — goes to the capital of a foreign country. He’s in whatever country the capital is capital of. But Mr. Obama has been refusing to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Not only that, but he has been refusing to admit that Jerusalem is even in Israel.

Approaching his first presidential trip to Israel, President Obama offered a fresh and foolish — if not feckless — assessment of the Iranian nuclear threat. "Right now, we think it would take over a year or so for Iran to actually deliver a nuclear weapon, but obviously we don’t want to cut it too close,” the President told an Israeli television interviewer, in the process cutting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu off at the knees and giving the mullahs breathing room to keep enriching uranium.

I hope I´m not too late to the fight.Last week, freshman Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) held an old-fashioned filibuster against the nomination of John Brennan to head the CIA. Paul´s stated reason for taking to the floor and talking for 13 hours was that the Obama administration wouldn´t give him a straight answer on the question of whether the president can unilaterally order the killing of American citizens on American soil with "lethal force, such as a drone strike … and without trial."

An unfortunate story on CBS New York Thursday carried this headline: "Officials: 80 Percent Of Recent NYC High School Graduates Cannot Read." It´s a shocker, but it´s also untrue. And to make things worse, the story that followed was riddled with typos. According to the New York Post, which reported the same story earlier on Thursday, "79.3 percent of city public-school grads who went to CUNY’s six two-year colleges arrived without having mastered the basics" of reading, writing, and math, and had to take non-credit remedial classes to catch up.

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

"I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.
