The mysterious media Benghazi bugout
New York Post, by Jonah Goldberg

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 10/31/2012 7:50:41 AM

Where is the Benghazi media feeding frenzy? I don’t think there’s a conspiracy at work. Rather, I think journalists tend to act on their instincts. And, collectively, the mainstream media’s instincts run liberal. In 2000, a Democratic operative orchestrated an “October surprise” attack on George W. Bush, revealing that 24 years earlier, he’d been arrested for drunken driving. The media went into a feeding frenzy. “Is all the 24-hour coverage of Bush’s 24-year-old DUI arrest the product of a liberal media almost drunk on the idea of sinking him, or is it a legitimate, indeed unavoidable news story?” asked Howard

As long as these instutions are owned and controlled by Frankfort School leftists we will not get an honest and rational analysis of the Benghazi incident.

The Watergate cover-up: exposed by MSM journalists.

Too bad they can't uncover a DUI on our tee-totaling Mormon candidate.
So, unlike John Kerry (Gigolo-Mass), we get told that Romney's just way too rich.

I hate the corrupt media.

FTA: "I’m willing to believe that journalists like Gregory are sincere in their desire to play it straight."
Jonah, I am very disappointed in you, but I understand the position you are in. So let me help, David Gregory (along with the rest of the media) is a complete lying 0bama sycophant who wouldn't tell the truth about the Butcher of Benghazi if his life depended on it.

Don't forget the NYT's 50 days in a row front-page-coverage of the Abu Graib underwear photo scandal. The biggest nothing burger ever and their coverage put our troops in more danger. While Abu Graib was not an election cycle story as Jonah cites here, I don't feel Benghazi is an election cycle story either -- its a flat out dereliction of duty and coverup thereof.

The media is the enemy. The dims in their current evil incarnation wouldn't exist were it not for the MSM. Andrew Breitbart wasn't a champion of conservative causes as much as he was a warrior for truth against this MSM. Maybe that's why he's gone now?

Don't forget to thank Carl Cameron for the DUI information on Bush and I bet 10 smackaroos he was behind the taping of the fundraiser on the 47% and other leak from the mysterious taping and giving that info to Carter's unemployed grandson. There was supposed to have been a 3rd revelation as well and I guess Cameron will hold that until this Friday.
He also was the reporter on the Gov. Palin "clothes" scandal----even though it was an outright lie.

The American press is the worst enemy we face. They are even worse than the universities. They still control most of the information, or rather I should say propaganda flow in the country. I know this chucklehead liberal that has a "Turn off FOX News, It's bad for America" bumper sticker. You'd think ABC,CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and PBS would be enough for them! It's like if the truth isn't told, it will just go away. Disgusting.

11,000+ injured and nearly 3,000 people killed on 9/11 due to Bill Clinton and the democrats.
300+ people killed in Mexicans plus several Americans killed by the weapons obama sold to drug dealers.

30 people were to be murdered on 9/11/12 but 4 men saved them at the expense of their lives. obama literally goes to sleep after viewing the carnage just so he can continue campaigning the next day.

The news media has covered up democrat scandals and made up republican ones.

If I were king I would pull the tv licenses for covering up Mass murder for starters.

The biased media meme has become a broken record. The news now is that it is not news. It is probably useful to keep harping on it, at least for a while - but it is no longer interesting. It has become tiresome.

Journalists and the media seem determined to destroy every last trace of their credibility and to stain the reputation of their professions forever. They have no idea, it appears, of the grievous long term damage their blatantly partisan reporting does to their organizations. Or maybe they do. Maybe they have decided to go for broke, damn the torpedoes, etc.

They cannot continue in the way much longer, however. It reminds of those police chases in which a fleeing suspect runs over the stop strips and the tires begin to go flat but they refuse to stop, riding and bumping on the rims until control is completely lost and the car comes to a stop.

It is going to take years to repair the reputation of the media, even if a serious and sincere attempt at reform is made. They have squandered the most valuable and essential thing of all, the trust of their audience. It is astonishing that more of those involved and in academia do not seem to recognize this. What use do they think they will be, what function do they imagine they will serve, when nobody trusts them any more?

JournOlists negating their civic, moral, ethical and professional responsibilities who have been conspiring and working in concert to re-elected Obama, are the UnCronkites of Our Generation. Did you hear about those stamps the Post Office just came out with but had to be recalled? The stamps had pictures of JournOlists on them. ....and the problem is... that Americans did not know what side to spit on. King Crony Ezra Klein and his pack of wild JournOlists need to be taught a lesson, ridiculed, silenced and unfunded.

Congressional sources say that GOP lawmakers and strategists are urging Speaker Boehner to kill any gun control legislation that comes to the House by refusing to act on it. The Speaker is planning "what could be a months-long review of the bill that likely would involve chipping away at gun-related measures" and instead encourage options that focus on the mental health aspect of gun violence. "I fully expect that the House will act on (gun) legislation in the coming months," Boehner said. "But ... I want the (House) Judiciary Committee to take the time to look

AUSTIN, Texas — Republican mega-donor Bob Perry never cared for the spotlight. But writing big checks and financing one of the most famous television ads ever in a presidential campaign made the Texas millionaire famous nonetheless. A wealthy Houston homebuilder who shunned publicity while generously bankrolling GOP candidates — and becoming a force in a new era of lavish spending in American politics — Perry died over the weekend, said former Texas state Rep. Neal Jones, a close family friend. Jones said late Sunday that Perry died "peacefully in his sleep" Saturday night. He did not offer further details.

Houston homebuilder, philanthropist and major political contributor Bob Jack Perry died Saturday night at his Nassau Bay home. He was 80. "He´s one of the finest human beings I have ever known in life. A true patriot and inspiration," said spokesman Anthony Holm, who worked with Perry for a decade. Perry was best known for his top contributions to primarily conservative candidates and political action committees within the past decade.

A prominent gun-rights advocate claims his group’s staff was in the room during the drafting of the recently unveiled proposal to expand gun-purchase background checks and said that “we snookered the other side — they haven’t figured it out yet.” Alan Gottlieb, executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, made the remarks at a speech in Portland, Ore., on Friday, according to video captured by the group Daylight Disinfectant. The remarks came shortly before the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA)

In anticipation of Senate votes this week on a proposed expansion of criminal background checks for firearms sales, one gun rights organization broke with the powerful National Rifle Association on Sunday to urge support for a compromise drafted by Sens. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) and Patrick J. Toomey (R-Pa.). The endorsement by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms — which calls itself the second-largest gun rights organization in the country, behind the NRA, claiming 650,000 members and supporters — is one of several moves over the past few

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has accepted the resignation of his Prime Minister Salam Fayyad despite pleas from the U.S. and the EU that he retain Fayyad. Actually, I am wrong to say “despite.” According to Fatah officials, U.S. pressure on Abbas to keep Fayyad in power proved counterproductive. Let us not probe the merits of Abbas’ decision to accept Fayyad’s resignation or explore the demerits of Fayyad’s tenure as prime minister. PA politics is a cesspool of corruption and ineptitude — always has been and probably always will be. Let us instead

Few Americans can not answer this question: who is the worst domestic mass murderer in United States’ history? Due to the United States media, most are aware that Timothy McVeigh slaughtered 168 people with a bomb in 1995. Most Americans also know the names of our three most monstrous serial killers: “The Green River Killer” Gary Ridgeway, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy. The U.S. media is again responsible for the general awareness of these men; these stories deserved — and received — national attention due to our common interest in personal safety, the rule of law

Five months after his resounding reelection victory, President Obama is bumping up against the boundaries of his political power in Washington as the core of his second-term legislative agenda moves into a still-divided Congress. His ability to secure the three high- profile legislative items now confronting Congress — gun-control measures, reform of the immigration system and his long-term budget priorities — is likely to determine his domestic legacy. Obama’s plan now is to ensure that as much of his politically challenging agenda as possible is enacted, after months of effort to frame the policies

Something truly remarkable happened yesterday. After days and weeks of pushing by New Media and social media, the mainstream media has not only admitted that they should have covered the ongoing capital murder trial of abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, they have promised to immediately remedy that mistake: The Daily Beast´s Megan McArdle: "Why I didn´t write about Gosnell´s trial -- and why I should have." Bloomberg columnist Jeffrey Goldberg writes: "It’s too late now, though, to suppress coverage.

Evil Mitt Romney paid an effective tax rate of 13% when his returns were released during the 2012 campaign. Now, Barack Obama’s returns were released yesterday, and he paid an effective tax rate of 18%. So, how is it that Barack Obama is more fair, more mainstream, and more American – in the eyes of his liberal base – because he pays 5% more in taxes? Paying 18% is less than the effective tax rate of39% he wants for the job creating and investing class in this country, and 12 % shy

As the Senate prepares to begin debate next week on the biggest gun-control bill in nearly two decades, the gun rights lobby and its Senate allies are working on a series of amendments that could have the opposite effect — loosening many of the restrictions that exist in current law. Most worrisome to those who advocate new gun limits is an expected amendment that would achieve one of the National Rifle Association’s biggest goals: a “national reciprocity” arrangement, in which a gun owner who receives a permit to carry a concealed weapon in any one state would then be allowed

Since he first became a presidential candidate, President Obama must have spent millions of dollars in legal expenses to combat dozens of so-called "birther" challenges seeking the original documents pertaining to his birth. As president, he famously issued an electronic document on the White House website in 2011; the document purported to be his long-form birth certificate, though it is apparently a forgery. In addition, he has taken great pains to hide the paper trail of passport records, college transcripts, and other data -- all of which a prospective employer might require of a job applicant.

Here is something I don’t understand: liberals are often revealed as vile, vulgar hatemongers–not all of them, of course, but far too many–yet they never seem to pay a penalty at the polls. Why is that? Margaret Thatcher’s death has been the latest occasion for the Left to show its true stripes. All across the U.K., there have been demonstrations–vulgar at best, and violent at worst. In Bristol, lefties celebrating a Thatcher “death street party” started fires, destroyed property and battled police: This evening in Trafalgar Square, liberals have turned out for a long-planned celebration of Thatcher’s death:

Is media bias to blame for lack of Gosnell coverage? Or something far more banal? The trial of Philadelphia doctor Kermit Gosnell would seem to have all the elements of a spectacular news story: shocking allegations, horrifying visuals, sympathetic victims. Yet until late last week, much of the national media was silent as testimony about Gosnell’s alleged “house of horrors” abortion clinic rolled out. Much of the media attention outside Philadelphia, in fact, centered on how little media attention the story was receiving outside Philadelphia.

President Obama and I were college classmate at Columbia University, class of ’83.

My time at Columbia made it crystal clear: liberals always believe they are morally superior. [Snip] It is in this cesspool of intolerance that Obama and his Marxist cronies hatched a secret plan to destroy our country. There are two things you need to know about Obama at Columbia University.
