John Patrick Bedell was a registered Democrat who believed George W. Bush was behind 9-11. So how does Good Morning America portray him? As a right-wing extremist, part of a pattern of anti-government violence that flares during Dem presidential administrations . . . GMA had a two-part segment on Bedell this morning. First came a reasonable report by Martha Raddatz. At one point, as images of the WTC in flames appeared, she did state that "there had been internet postings, laced with conspiracy theories about 9-11, and government corruption." Raddatz stopped short of mentioning that Bedell explicitly accused the Bush admin of being behind 9-11, calling them a "murderous government" and "collection of gangsters" that sacrificed "thousands of its citizens" on September 11th.
But then came co-host Bill Weir, literally waving Janet Napolitano's report about "right-wing extremism" in the air, and wondering out loud to ABC consultant and former FBI agent Brad Garrett, who was willing to go along, about having seen this before "during past Democratic administrations."

O.K., if anything, all this does is reinforce our opinion of how bias the MSM is. We all know that is a lie. no matter how many time they say it, it’s still a lie.

Lying is what they do.
They do it poorly.
I just wrote GMA a nice note about their hit piece.
Thanks, JM: could you please let me know what kind of response you get?
Gladly, but I am not holding my breath and I would suggest that you not either . . . you know how it goes.
“The news is 90% of the preparation for the battle.”
These are the exact same orchestrated news stories the left came up with prior to the OKC bombing.
Back in around June or July, Howard Dean let the cat out of the bag that the dems were doing a repeat of their strategy from 94/95 of orchestrating news stories that the right wanted to assassinate the prez.
In 94/95 the dems came up with a plan to paint the right as wanting to assassinate Bill Clinton. The dems and their allies in the MSM began orchestrating news stories to that effect, and low and behold Kalid Shiek Mohammed came up with a plan for an attempted assassination of Bill Clinton in the Philippines.
Why the Philippines?
That's where Terry Nickles had been traveling.
The Southern Poverty Law Center had spies in all the “Right Wing Extremist” groups. They new exactly where Terry Nickles was going.
The planned attempted assassination of Bill Clinton in 95
was supposed to be part of the preparation, read news, for the OKC bombing.
ABC’s Bill Weir Frets Over 9/12 Rally Rage and ‘Anger;’ Worries About Lost ‘Civility’

Over the weekend, ABC provided hyperbolic, worried reporting on the 9/12 protest in Washington D.C. And while the other networks had mixed results, Good Morning America co-host Bill Weir opened the program on Saturday by fretting, “This morning, outrage. Protesters descend on Washington to rally against the President’s health care plan. As civility gives way to shouting, what’s fueling all this anger?”
On Sundays GMA, Weir spun that the protesters were “rail[ing]” against higher taxes, government run health care and spending. Reporter Yunji de Nies highlighted a marcher who labeled Barack Obama a “communist.” She then pounced, “Do you really believe the President is a communist?” Right after this exchange, de Nies told viewers that those rallying “insist they’re not extremists.”
The problem is that those whose sole source of news is the MSM, never having heard the truth, will continue to believe it.
Bingo. It's a strategy the Left has used -- very effectively! -- over and over. This is the Southern Poverty Law Center-originated attack on the Tea Party movement. It portrays anyone who opposes Obama's policies as crazed, extremist and potentially violent. That includes us, folks. That smarmy schmuck Potok has been all over the MSM lately preaching this message, to the delight of MSM talking heads.
Who writes Bill Weir’s voicetrack. Obviously, the boy can’t think for himself so someone else has to put words in his mouth. Who is it?
Robert Gibbs? Just guessing ;-)
Great catch! Everyone, send this on to your family and friends.
The Washington ComPost is pushing this as well today.

>> liberalism is a mental disease; no one - other than a complete idiot - could come to that conclusion.
Liberalism is a class to gentle for these miscreants - they’re Leftists. They lie and deceive with malice and the intent to erode the Capitalistic underpinnings of our Country - they wish to restrict our Liberties - they wish to constrain us. Truth is their enemy.
Liberalism is a class too gentle for these miscreants - theyre Leftists.
