Never Again! Not the Holocaust. We're talking about the MSM's determination not to let Barack Obama be "Swiftboated." In successive segments today, CNN provided a perfect example of the phenomenon. First, a one-sided trashing of Obama Nation, the anti-Barack book by Jerome Corsi, who co-authored Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry. In the succeeding segment, anchor Suzanne Malveaux worried out loud to Paul Begala that Barack Obama might not be responding fast enough to attacks against him, thereby "falling into the same trap as John Kerry."
Introducing the first segment, Situation Room anchor Malveaux didn't hesitate to make unequivocal claims as to the Corsi book's inaccuracy.
SUZANNE MALVEAUX: There's a new book out about Barack Obama, and it is not flattering. The facts are mixed with accusations about Obama that are misleading or just flat-out wrong. Yet despite all of this, there is concern that author's claims might catch on with some voters. Our CNN's Jessica Yellin joining me now, and Jessica, the author even admits that there is an agenda here behind this book.

CNN wants to stop the swiftboating ping to Today show list.
It’s good to see that some are doing the drive by media’s former job. No point in getting the whole country ‘edwardsed’.
Maybe Obama will write yet a third book about himself to respond?
THey reacted the same way with Unfit for Command. Pathetic.
The look on her face is one step from throwing up.The Airlines might be able to make some money by handing out barf bags come Nov. 5th.
Contrast this with the orgasms CNN and MSNBC were having in their panties when Scot McClellan’s book came out.
It would be fun if Obama Nation drew the same explosive debates that Unfit did, IMO the most memorable of which was PMSNBC Lawrence McDonnell going in to his Lying Liar Liar Liars fit when debating John Oneill. Oneill trounced everyone who took him on, he was great, hopefully Corsi can do same.
Truth for liberals is like sunshine for vampires.....it really really hurts.
Tonight, Larry Liberal Live had Jerome Corsi on his show with some hitman from Media Matters. Its an all out effort by ABCNBCBSCNNmsnbc to assure the book is rejected as a pack of lies and Corsi himself is labeled a racist.
Corsi's book is debuting at #1 on the NYT best seller list.
Yep...it could "catch on."
Freddoso's book will be at #5, too.
I like a good pile-on.
Swiftboated: telling the truth about a public figure.
He already has
Suzanne Malveaux shows yet again that CNN and most of the MSM are merely PR hacks for the Democrats. She did not even pretend to attempt any intelligent discussion of the substantive issues — instead she immediately turned it into a Democrat talking point discussion of “how do WE (media + Democrats) deflect or defeat critical writings about Obama?
I would say that Suzanne is just another whore for the Democrats, but in fact she is simply a true believer of the left who is promoting her own favored political agenda while imagining that she is somehow objective.
King thought it would be a good idea to have one of Media Matters' flying monkeys to counter Corsi.
It was a farce.
Anderson Cooper is about to "keep them honest" with a look at Corsi's book.
He went to a commercial break with the teaser........
is the new book about Obama just spreadin' lies?
.........before he even airs the segment, another teaser has Cooper saying that things in the book are untrue.
“CNN highly threatened by the truth. Is the public ready?”
Gee - ya think?
