Shortly after Obamacare was passed and signed by the President, Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute noted a sudden plethora of articles that had begun to appear in a wide variety of MSM outlets about the probable ill-effects of "reform." This prompted him to ask, "Where were these reporters before the passage of the health care bill?" The answer to this question is now pretty obvious. They were colluding, via JournoList and other such forums that we don't know about, to make sure that no one screwed up and told the truth before that morass of taxes and regulations became the law of the land. To the nation's cost, their self-censorship succeeded.
Today, we face a similar but much more dangerous situation. The "reporters" of the establishment news media are engaged in a concerted campaign of misinformation to get Barack Obama re-elected. This has been evident for some time, but the breathtaking mendacity of this effort was writ large by Candy Crowley during last Tuesday's presidential debate. Everyone has by now seen the video clip: the President made the preposterous claim that he had identified the attack on our Benghazi consulate as an act of terrorism as early as September 12. Then, when Romney called him on this egregious whopper, Crowley repeated the lie.

I set that special report up to record. It was recording the Van Suterin show, which was pre-empted. So I saw the thing recording and thought my recorder made a mistake, and I cancelled it part-way through.
Kicking self now...
Hope they repeat the thing this weekend I really wanted to see it.
Yes that is a good question. Of course it is merely a way to get yourself published based on a shocking headline. The leftist moderators have “suceeded” in giving Romney the momentum and not much more.
Crowley couldn’t help not by jumping on a Burger King sized WHOOPER that Obama threw at her..... the lie betrays her rhetoric that she’s a vegetarian...
That’s what you get with the Polite Party a.k.a. the GOP.
There were 4 political debates in all. Why is it that all moderators were selected by the liberals? Are we playing McCain games again where we are afraid to offend the RATs?
It is often very difficult and frustrating to vote for the GOP when one gets the impression that they are not even trying hard to win when the playing field already favors the opposition.
No one is energized to vote for a party that does not show total commitment to its convictions.
My cable converter boxes are also DVRs so its pretty straightforward unless the online guide has an error in programming. I cant really stop a recording without knowing what I am stopping,
The Baur special forced Lawrence O Donnell to work a Friday night (same time 10pm) to compete with it, and earlier he joked that it was not in his contract but he was doing it anyway ‘for the good of the country;.
Back in the 90s when the Clinton blowout was going on, O’Donnell wasn’t that bad. He has sure cratered. Keith Olberman was actually quite rabid in his criticism of Clinton.
These two guys have destroyed their credibility. I can’t imagine acting that vile to earn money.
