Big Time Scandals by Obama Administration Too Small for Investigation by Mainstream Media?
Canada Freepress ^ | October 1, 2011 | Jerry McConnell

Posted on 10/01/2011 9:37:34 AM PDT by opentalk

Since Obama’s inauguration in January 2009 there have been several major scandals in which his Administration has been involved, principally, Operation Fast and Furious the government sponsored sale of guns to small time gun sellers along our border with Mexico; the failed ‘Stimulus’ loan of multi-millions to Solyndra and LightSquared, two small businesses that were Obama preferred for loans. All three of these Obama Administration ventures were major failures involving scandalous behavior.

...Is the entire communications arm of our country becoming beholden to Obama and his scandal ridden administration peopled by socialist, communists who break our laws with impunity and without fear of prosecution in our mainstream media or courts? Where will that take us if allowed to continue?

... in the Heritage Foundation report it was stated that “A cross-border gun-running scandal, deaths in the United States and Mexico, staff removals and resignations, secret audio recordings, complaints from foreign officials, hundreds of millions of dollars in loans, bankruptcy, an FBI raid, campaign donors, and allegations of inappropriate White House influence in congressional testimony; and the just reported suicide of ATF agent Jeff Ryan of the LA Field Division. There are serious questions coming out of Washington. It’s time for the media to start demanding answers.”

The mainstream media was very quick to investigate and demand the resignation of a GOP politician for simply sending emails to an underage Congressional Page with no evidence of any contact whatsoever; but a full-fledged taxpayer rip-off scandal by a liberal Democrat president’s administration doesn’t even rate a second thought for investigative purposes.

Nixon and Harding must be saying, “Are you kidding me?? The press is giving this guy a pass?? He’s much worse than anything we did!”

This economist is little too sarcastic for my taste, but his blog on the latest green energy scam is good.

And they always seem to be in state with powerful Democrats.

With radical gays running so much of America’s mainstream media today, (They don’t call the New York Times Editorial Board the “GAY MAFIA” for nothing. Every Single member is gay.), why does this surprise anyone??

You don’t seriously expect people living an immoral lifestyle to care about ethics, do you? What used to be called ‘Journalism’ in America is largely dead now.

See...ya gots ta unnerstan dis...

1. All Dem'crats are the smartest people in any room.

2. All Dem'crat politicians only care about the "little guy" and/or "working man." They're in politics for entirely selfless, altruistic reasons.

3. Dem'crats NEVER do anything that can be considered a "real" scandal, not even killing someone a la Ted Kennedy.

On the otha hand...

4. All Republicans are dumber than dirt.

5. All Republican politicians only care about the rich and couldn't give a crap about the "little guy." They're in it to make themselves and their cronies richer.

6. Republicans always do things that're horrible scandals. Only reason they aren't all in jail is 'cause they haven't got caught yet.

Ya gots it now?

As it has been for decades, so it continues. The job of the leftist media is to attack the right, cover for the left. No mistake, however small by a Republican, is unworthy of a full blown investigation. No mistake, however huge by a Democrat, is worthy of a full blown investigation. (With special situation exceptions.)

Mainstream media? Here in America, we don't have a mainstream media. That's just not done here.

After Watergate, political journalism was banned and replaced with propaganda, political attack and advertising.

Insider information? What insider information? Encouraging investment knowing the dismal and failing condition of the company? Who me? We never read the report.

Maybe we should remind so-called investigative reporters (rare as hen's teeth these days) to please explain the difference between what Chu, Biden, and Soetoro did and what Martha did. Watch them bend themselves into a pretzel explaining it. Juan Williams is fuly convinced there is no wrong-doing in any of the Solyndra antics - but are we surprised?

“I remember media coverage being non stop over the Martha Stewart trial.”

And let’s not forget that 18 second gap on the Nixon tape. The LSM is nothing but a motley crew of LEFTIST whores. Thank GOD for the internet.

Currently we are governed by an extreme weak GOP and King Obama, who is a communists. His Administration and outside thugs are communists and to be sure nothing will come of these two criminal activities.

What do you mean, "After Watergate"? More and more, it has become apparent that Watergate was a media coup against a Republican president they did not like. They tried to do the same to W. Bush, but could not pull it off.
