The IRS, AP snooping, and Benghazi stories are already backfiring on the GOP. We already knew the media would write off Benghazi, but now more and more in the media are beginning to say the IRS had every right to do what they did and that obama had every right to snoop on the media. obama will come out of all this without a scratch.

This an historic president...for the media that is. A black, socialist president-emperor is something they’ve been wishing and praying for (well, at least wishing for) ever since FDR was in office. McGovern got stomped (which shows you how socialist the rest of the country has become in forty years),Clinton was an opportunist, and now they have a real, socialist hero. They’re not giving up on him just because of a few messy scandals. And after all, it is Republicans and conservatives who are the victims in the Obama scandals. Well, a few dead Obama supporters in Benghazi, but I’m sure the media feels they don’t mind sacrificing their lives for Fearless Leader.(snicker)

Well the best defense the GOP has is to say....okay....then when there is a Republican president again and he does this stuff, no howls please. Furthermore we have a Republican House, we’ll just see what laws, rules, etc. we can stretch. What? You don’t like that? Too f’n bad.

The Press has changed the game in America's politics as well aa the direction of our country by its overwhelming bias.

They Will not deviate from this path unless and until something directly affects them.

As referenced by the fact that it took the media spying story to begin to get some of them to report anything about Obama.

They have to be addressed or we will lose.

The MSM is made up of communists Democrats and are a huge part of destroying America. Ignorant asses failed to realize that what they are destroying is themselves also.

Every politician and pundit needs to respond to this: THIS IS NOT ABOUT OBAMA. What this IS about is a government that is too big to manage while it rapidly dives deeper into each of our lives.

The media are part of Obama’s personality cult. Throw them out, and they are lost, confused and afraid. They don’t like it on the outside. Of course they are going to rally around idol.

Yes and no. The media will want to get back to their lap dog role, but there will be three problems.

(1)The Big Zero doesn't forgive. He prefers to punish.

(2) The press may be a little more skeptical and a little less cheerleader. They may actual try to present both an administration position and another perspective, which will infuriate the Administration.

(3) The MSM reporters are all about getting their names and stories as either the story on the front page above the fold or the teaser to the nightly electronic news show. That means scandals improve careers. If enough bad stuff is disclosed the will write about scandals rather than the cheer-leading they would prefer to write about.

The media isn’t going to “write off” treason which resulted in the deaths of 4 Americans.

Of course. It’s the job of the Ministry of Propaganda.

They’ll tut-tut for a bit about the not-nice way BO treated his friends, then go back to kissing his fat butt.

So this obviously means that the msm is just another enemy of the people. Defeating the msm is a daunting task even though it appears that its influence is waning. Polls on the public awareness of the Gosnell trial seem to indicate that the public still gets most of their info from the statist propagandists.
