MRC Special Report: The Media Censorship That Put Barack Obama Back in the White House

Among the key findings:

Network evening news viewers in 2012 never once heard the embarrassing prediction by Obama’s economic team that passage of the $787 billion “stimulus” would halt the rise of unemployment at 8%.

There was just a single network mention last year (on ABC) of Obama’s broken promise of cutting the federal budget deficit “by half by the end of my first term in office.” Reporters on CBS and NBC never once brought up this inconvenient truth.

All three evening newscasts buried official statistics showing record numbers of Americans depending on government handouts for food, and rising poverty more than two years after Team Obama claimed the economy was supposedly recovering.

In all of 2012, the network evening newscasts devoted only 61 seconds to talking about how ObamaCare’s mandates, regulations and new taxes would hurt small businesses.

The evening newscasts never mentioned official CBO reports showing ObamaCare would cost up to 6 million workers their health insurance, belying President Obama’s promise that “if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.”

The networks buried news of how Obama squandered more than $500 million of taxpayer money in loans to the solar company Solyndra, whose biggest investor was a major Obama campaign donor and fundraiser.

The networks minimized or ignored key information exposing the administration’s false narrative about the attacks in Benghazi. And, after the President falsely insisted in a debate that he branded the attack as “an act of terror” the very next day, CBS’s 60 Minutes withheld a key video proving this claim to be untrue.

Romney the RINO did not disappoint....he let Obama off the hook by being non-aggressive, although with the Fraud and the knowledge Conservatives already had, he couldn't win anyway.

The GOP-e is just the second wing of the Democrat Party, and they put forth Candidates in ALL National Elections that don't have a Conservative bone in their body, or, worse yet, they sellout as soon as they're elected.

Proof positive that not only has the First Amendment freedom of the press been murdered, but the media have engaged in criminal coverups and racketeering. Here is a RICO indictment waiting for the lawyer with enough guts to file it.

And to the NSA trolls, FU.
