It's Happening: CNN Already Freaking Out About New Media Vetting President Obama
Townhall.com ^ | March 8, 2012 | Katie Pavlich

Last night, Breitbart.com released a video of President Barack Obama fully embracing radical Marxist Harvard Professor Derrick Bell. Now, predictably, the mainstream media is circling the wagons around the president and trying to distract away from the real issue: Barack Obama is a radical and his political philosophy was built by people like Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright and Derrick Bell.

The Vetting: CNN Implodes Over Obama/Bell Video

Notice how CNN host Soledad O'Brian tries to cut off Amy Holmes, who happens to be black, when she defends the production of the video and the vetting of President Obama.

"This is an indictment of the mainstream media that did not open this conversation back in 2008 with the full video, with the full audio, it did not and we didn't have this conversation for the American people. We didn't broach this to then candidate Senator Obama to discuss his background which is all fair," Holmes said.

To answer O'Brian's question about where the "bombshell" is, I give you Michelle Malkin.

"I’m convinced the media, including FOX, is told what to report everyday. Every media outlet has a liason they speak with on a daily basis. But why are the republicans so afraid of this man? They apparently know something that we don’t know. And we know a lot! There’s something very creepy about all this".

It is all very unsettling.

You so don’t know how news is produced locally, regionally, and at a network.

You are making wild assumptions about these people working hard. They don’t. Have you ever noticed the same story, told using the same words—over and over. And most of them are from overnight reporters just out of college.

There is no master mind directing things. It is lazy kids and good looking mouth pieces. They just read what the kids write. And they don’t even write well anymore.

I don't recall making any assumptions at all. The vast majority of media pukes don't even know what hard work is.

I consider it perfect logic. However, the MSM backs the left and they would have start writing, “Breitbart successor compares Obama professor to Nazis!” And then the Jewish guy who always comes out about such things would have started moaning about how the sacredness of the holocaust was impugned.

The liberal playbook is that logical argument can always be undermined by playing the race card. And they can get away with it because they control the media.

I can’t wait for more videos. Sure wish they could get a copy of the LA Times video. It would be great to have him resign in disgrace BEFORE November. A girl can dream . . .

There is a semi-famous tape of a conversation between Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose, I believe, wherein they both ask the question, “What do we know about this man?”. They come to the startling conclusion that we don’t know very much. This conversation took place shortly before or after Election Day, 2008. So much for vetting.
