The Fourth Estate's Shame
(ABC News Version)

American Spectator, by Ross Kaminsky

Original Article

Posted By:Fiesta del sol, 10/27/2012 6:55:19 AM

The third and fourth stories on ABC News' web page, in relatively small print, relate to Benghazi and the president's shameful refusal to really answer questions about what happened there. The lead story, in large headline type and with a picture? "Sixth Sense: Mom Predicts Baby's Near-Fatal Illness" As if that weren't enough, in a more prominent position than the Benghazi stories, and with a large dramatic picture of a flaming cross is a story about "KKK Resurgence." How can these people live with themselves?

Comments:
He's got a screen shot, and it's hard to find the Benghazi story.

One problem I have with the criticism of evident strong bias in the lamestream media is a reluctance to name names. The perpetrators slink by, day after day, as the critics name a large amorphous thing called the media.

The active distortion of the news across the complicit mainstream news media has become too obvious to hide.
This is a betrayal of professionalism and a betrayal of trust.
The leftist news media are morally bankrupt as well as financially bankrupt.

Their whitewash and coverup of the ugly betrayal of our troops and Ambassador in Benghazi is just the latest outrage. They have supported 6 weeks of lies, spin and manipulation of blame from the Obama regime.
It is the lies and spin, stupid.

I turned on Nightline last night, and saw the KKK story, with a hooded person screaming about obama. And I thought, you have to give the devil (ABC) their due, as they make yet another campaign contribution to hussein obama.
But they are losing their subtle touch, hey?

Dear Ross,

What is more important, how can any freedom loving American tolerate the economy in free fall, inflation out of control, 23 million unemployed Americans and the lies Obama tells?

It has moved to the top of the list on my brower now under "Latest Headlines" butJake Tapper is clearly the ONLY serious journalist at ABC. The real question is how stupid and uninformed could anyone possibly believe anything, anything that the Idiot-in-Chief is saying?

And when are people going to notice that every Democrat president we have is a pathological liar?

Yesterday, our local rag, The Record, had a tiny article on the bottom of Page A, along side the PC Richard ad which took up nearly the entire rest of the page.

Used to be called the Bergen County Record.

If there has been a resurgence of Racism, as some in the Media have claimed, they have only themselves to blame. Where else do we hear proper criticism of this President to be Racist? If we mention 'Chicago', 'Food Stamps', 'Welfare', and many other properly defined words in the English Language, we're 'Racist' or 'speaking in code'. We see America dying, yet, the last I heard, 90 percent of Blacks are STILL going to be voting for this 'Man-Caused-Disaster'.

Meanwhile that same media reports glowingly the words of parasites on society, who happen to be Black, squealing about 'Obama-phones' and 'Obama's Stash' (all paid with our tax-payer money) or the billions wasted on Solyndra and other 'Green' firms (How many Obama bundlers are tied to failed Green Firms AND to mid-East Terrorists?).

America is dying the death of a thousand cuts, wielded by and in the name of, Blacks and some other 'self-identified' minority groups. If anger, no, FURY at the situation is Racist, then count me in.

Benghazi is simply the last straw. Gee, thanks, Chrissy at MSNBC and others. For years I though I was tolerant and accepting, wanting these other groups to have a hand up and join me as equals in society. Now they can simply struggle for acceptance like my ancestors did. I don't give a damn anymore.

"How can these people live with themselves?" It is probably quite easy for most of them to do so, since everything suggests that they are proud, not ashamed of their behavior. No doubt they see themselves as being on the side of the angels, and their adversaries -us- as being the true enemies of all that is good. One imagines that they often ask themselves the very same question: how can those people, i.e. us, live with themselves? Such is the depth of the divide between us and them.

Perhaps there may be a few in the media who have their doubts - who are in some instances even actively opposed to the partisan propaganda that is peddled as news. But what are they to do? Speaking out would cost them in all kinds of ways, beginning for many with their employment. I am glad not to be in the position such people find themselves.

The harvest of bias and untruth now being reaped is from a crop planted years ago and tended with care over an entire generation. Unless Americans recapture their universities and the educational system from the control of enemies of the American way of life, nothing but more of the same can be expected.

Did you see Geraldo on O'Reilly last night? He blamed Romney for not going after obama on the consulate attack - not the press. He defended obama for his stonewalling because of the upcoming election. He reasoned that Republicans would use that info for partisan reasons.

Geraldo informed us that he is a Republican about a month ago. Does anyone believe that? He's a card-carrying member of the 4th Estate.

President Obama´s decision last year to allow young people living in the U.S. illegally to stay and work marked the biggest shift in immigration policy in decades, hailed as a landmark step toward the American dream for a generation of immigrants. But months later, many immigrants are having vastly different reactions to the change depending on where they live, and they aren´t flocking to the program at the levels the government originally expected. A handful of Republican-led states are blocking basic benefits for those in the program, denying beneficiaries identification cards, driver´s licenses,

Google honors Cesar Chavez on Easter

On Easter Sunday, Google is honoring the birthday of the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez by placing a Chavez portrait within the middle “o” of the Google logo that appears on the homepage of the popular search engine. While Google frequently decorates its logo to celebrate various holidays and special events, it is unclear why the company chose specifically to honor Chavez’s birthday, instead of Easter Sunday. Chavez co-founded the organization now known as the United Farm Workers union (UFW). He became an iconic figure in the labor movement, with his stature only increasing since his death

But for some Latinos in the United States, there´s a catch: Pope Francis´ parents were born in Italy. Such recent European heritage is reviving debate in the United States about what makes someone a Latino.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
