The Pulitzer Prize. The Nobel Comittee doesn't award prizes for journalism, FWIW.
The media vets GOP candidates thoroughly. The media only vets Dims they want to lose in the primary.
The good thing about this is it is an advantage to the GOP. The GOP has less worry about each presidential election fall in terms of major surprises about their candidate.
For example, no GOP candidate would have survived with the vast majority of his unit thinking he was not much of an officer in a short stint in Viet Nam. Heck no GOP candidate would have survived claiming to be in Cambodia under Nixon before Nixon took office.
That’s funny... I think I remember quite a few judges who claimed that Obama was qualified to be President because he was ‘vetted’ by the media.
Hmmm, maybe we can’t trust them when they are BIASED?
Agreed.....National Enquirer deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. What the National Enquirer should do now is, vet all of the liberal journalists and reporters, and print every ounce of dirt on them they can dig up. If they have family members with special needs, they could make cheap jokes about them, and let them see what it feels like. I imagine the liberals have plenty of garbage in their past, seeing how they don’t have any ethics to speak of.
Ooops .. OK ... I sit corrected ... ;)
No, they don’t vet them if they are Republican...they SLANDER them if they are Republican!
???
Not Democrats.
Freaking, duh.
On the other hand, the scumbags know where the Palin family buys its underwear.
True ...
From the article:
:“I was told that it was not true by John Edwards and by others,” said one former staffer. “I fought back against the story going beyond the Enquirer; I just stuck with what I knew to be the facts. I didn’t make moral arguments.”
More propaganda from ONLINE PROPAGANDISTS. Thanks for posting.
Of course they vet Pres. Candidates, if....
...they are R's.
Sickest joke of the day - you’re right about that!
It’s worse than that, (only veting R’s). If they fail to find a negative they make things up.
Lemann is a liar.
Did he not notice the planeloads of "journalists " who were dispatched to Alaska by the Democrat newsrooms?
Case in point, the "McCain affair scandal" that was fabricated by the New York Times during the last presidential campaign. The scumbag Democrat New York Times settled the defamation lawsuit and finally apologized.
Gimme a break! They often know things but refuse to disclose if it's a RAT.
We have good evidence that the LA Slimes knew about Edwards and Rielle in December 2007. We had several reports posted here at FR that the Slimes had a whopper of a story on a major presidential candidate that it was "agonizing" over printing. We knew then and there that it was one of the RATS because any Republican story would have been gleefully printed as soon as practicable.
In 2008 the NY Slimes had the story of the Obambi campaign colluding with ACORN in violation of federal election laws. To her credit the reporter wanted to go ahead. At the last minute the brass killed the story. We've heard the reporter's message on the answering machine telling the ACORN person what happened. Very ugly.
PHONEY!
Look what the press devoted in resources to Gov. Palin.
**THE SNAKE SOROS ON CNN NOW.
I’m off to church .. if anyone can ping
me to the uptake from it, I’d appreciate it.
Everything you said!
That’s what happens whentwo Senators are the candidates for the presidency.
The “collegiality” of the Senate trumps the competitive instinct.
