Sarah Palin Blasts Press: You Only 'Cry Foul' When 'Obama's Boot is on Your Neck'

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin blasted the mainstream press for only holding President Barack Obama accountable when they are impacted by Obama's overreach and abuses, while not being watchdogs in nearly every other case.

"Lamestream calls for empathy, even outrage, for a First Amendment violation that's on par with all the abuse we've brought to your attention as Obama stomps on our Constitution," Palin wrote on her Facebook page after the Obama administration's FCC aborted plans to monitor the country's newsrooms. "You've IGNORED us, you've marginalized us, you've left us for 'destroyed.' But when Obama's boot is on YOUR neck you finally wake the h*ll up and cry foul? Good Lord."

Palin, who resolved before the new year to hold the "lapdog media" more accountable, posted her message on Facebook after the FCC backtracked on Friday and said it would not ask newsrooms to answer questions about how they conduct their news-gathering operations. As Breitbart News reported, Mignon Clyburn, the daughter of Fairness Doctrine proponent Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), has been leading the charge on behalf of the FCC. 

Palin linked to a Breitbart News article about many of the Obama administration's abuses in cracking down on freedom of the press. Proving Palin's point, one of the only other times the mainstream press held the Obama administration to account was after revelations that the administration intercepted email and phone messages from mainstream media journalists for national security purposes.

The United States Constitution has succeeded in creating the environment and freedom to have America have by far the most successful nation ever in the last 200 plus years.

Are we going to allow these freedoms to be removed and oppressed and not even whimper?

"I think these servile, foot-licking stenographers rather enjoy the boot on their necks.
They believe it will give them a chance to touch the hem of his garment, or something."I wonder, if after 0'Muslim's threading on "their freedom of speech"
has sobered any of them @ NYT/WaPo/LAT/ABCNNBCCeeBS?
hmm..NOT.
