Too little, too late mia culpa. BTW we have an actual copy of McCain's original certificate of live birth. Medial Elites coming to grips about helping elect the worst President(pretender) in HISTORY. "be they Barack Obama or Sarah Palin - can burst upon the national stage and seemingly overnight become candidates for higher office."

Commies. Do we have to wait until the lights go out, like in Chavez's Venezuela? Who is Dr. John C. Drew? http://joytiz.com/2010/finally-somebody-remembers-obama-at-occidental/ Love the premise of the Politico article: 1. They are the keepers of truth and wisdom, they are the honorable venerated gatekeepers for who should be president. Of course only a non-conservative can be allowed to be President. Slowly the media turns on the tyrant they helped elect, ha. Article uses the narrative of Edwards debacle to imply they failed on the loser Obama.

Do we have to wait until the lights go out, like in Chavez's Venezuela?To the most rabid commies, the lights going out would be "proof" of the failure of capitalism (even if the government had 100% control of the entire electric generation and distribution system. Failure to accept reality is the hallmark of the communist supporter.

Obama was vetted, and the press knew exactly what he was all about. They conspired with the Obama campaign to promote the empty suit, anti-american, communist anyway. They succeeded in getting him elected and he proceded into a failure of such epicness, that it is the most epic of all epic failures of all time. And now they are saying “who knew?” LOL!
The MSM is worthless, and epically so.

The only vetting the media does now is to vet by criticism those who would criticize their chosen candidate. If they are not the chosen candidate, then they may actually put a little work into vetting, but it is mostly attacking to see what sticks.

Here's something funny in an ironic kind of way. Y'all remember "Blue's Clues", the kid show about the blue dog and a guy named Steve? Turns out Steve was a flaming liberal, and when McCain introduced Sarah Palin as his VP candidate, Steve made a little cartoon called
"The Vet Who Did Not Vet".
Amazing that he was soooooooo close in predicting what he believed would happen if Sarah Palin were elected--but the predictions came true for Obama! Dang, that's gonna leave a mark. Schadenfreude!

The media elites still haven't figured out that a free press is the first thing to go.
There's a a reason they are called "lamestream."

Actually he article from the politico link makes a scant mention of Obama as the focus was on Silky Pony. And they mention Sarah Palin in the same line-—I think they LSM vetted Sarah alright to the point of harrasment. As for Obama they still turn a blind eye and a deaf ear!

Edwards was pretty thoroughly vetted but there are limits to what the press can reasonably be expected to uncover, ... My butt. It only took a week to discover that Carrie Prejean had done a topless photo shoot and had make a sex video of herself. And the Breck Girl™ was running for leader of the free world, not a beauty pageant.

The media is quick to vet:
1. Joe the Plumber taxes
2. Prejaean
3. Palin (breathing, doing anything)
4. McCain (non-mistress)
5. Brown-pictures
6. Congressman (medical malpractice) for daring to speak against the one
7. Anyone who speaks against the “One”

I hardly think Sarah Palin qualifies as “burst upon the scene” when she was already the Governor of a state; mayor of a town; member of her city council.
Obama was only a senator for what .. 14 mos.
They have no comparison.

The MSM is worthless, and epically so. No, as you said earlier in your post, they are worse than worthless. They work aggressively against our country and for the Communists.

Yeah you have the numbers on that? Wasn’t it like 10s or 100s of more reporters digging dirt than ever checked on Obami Kenyan relatives, Ayers, Dr. John C. Drew, Frank Marshall Davis, and Bernardine Dohrn etc etc? How much money was spent on finding negative info on Palin compared to Obama? Which one was running for Prez.
