If The Media Is So Concerned About Candidate Scandals, Why Did Obama Get A Free Pass?

Notice the difference - Having an affair, while not a nice thing to do to your spouse, is not illegal, you don't get arrested or go to jail. Smoking crack IS illegal, a felony in fact, if caught you DO get arrested and go to jail. Yet the media obsesses about Herman Cain's affairs and proclaims them reason to disqualify him from being President - yet the same media didn't utter ONE PEEP about Obama's hard-drug use during the 2008 election - and still won't.

AND BY THE WAY, Obama violated TWO federal drug laws - not just for using, but also for buying. Repeatedly, over the span of several years.

They ignored these obvious red-flags that Obama was an idiot, presenting him to the public as a "legitimate leader" - excuse me while I belly-laugh - and they continue to keep in a protective cocoon, safe from all criticism. So the idiocy is allowed to continue, to the detriment of the country.

Folks, Christmas is coming up, when you're together with your in-laws these holidays, please ask them to note this glaring difference in the way the "objective" media deals with the two parties' candidates. Maybe, with a little luck, some eyes will be opened.

Because he’s a democrat?
Because he’s a black?
Because he’s an illegal alien?

Well Obummer did wait a decent amount of time before bringing the goons down on the California medpot farms that, in campaign season, he said he had no problem with.

Captain Obvious told me its because the Media are Liberal Democrats, and they don’t eat their own... they cover for them.

The fatal idiocy of this situation isn’t in Barack Obama. It’s in the people. “A republic, if you can keep it” and that looks perilously close to having become impossible.

Better question. The press knew all about John Edwards but refused to even hint at the story until after the Iowa caucuses. Had he been outed before it is believed most of his supporters would have voted Hillary, and her winning in Iowa and later NH would end Obama’s hope ay winning the nomination.

Wouldn’t it be sacrilegious to question a messiah?

We as a country had gone a half of a century from Luis Armstrong, a genius musician, accepted only because he played the goofy grinning Negro, through acceptance of mediocre black actors and musicians, to the promotion of black incompetents in business and government to the POTUS, where no vetting of any kind was performed, and no questions were asked. A fine mess, Stanley!

They lie, you buy, America dies.

Keep buying the corporate msm fatburgers and the msm channel packages, succor for the monster.

We are gullible, gluttonous fools.

The media is not about covering scandals. They are about getting liberal democrats elected. Look at everything they cover / don’t cover from the that lens and it all begins to make sense.

Somehow, I don’t think he’s going to get a free pass this time around. Not from the candidates anyway.

There is no ‘media’ or ‘journalists’. The Leftist media is just a gaggle of commie activists.
