The dirty little (open) secret about the press
Washington Times ^ | 4-9-15 | Monica Crowley

(Snip)

The same folks who are expressing outrage that Rolling Stone has blown off its journalistic responsibility have blown off their own. For seven years, they have been supine as President Obama and his policies have ravaged the Constitution and jeopardized the nation’s security. Worse, they have often made excuses for the unconstitutional and dishonest behavior, and have buried or ignored stories when reporters and even an entire network — Fox News — have attempted to uncover the truth.

She finishes her long list of what the media have ignored by saying:

“The only difference between the Rolling Stone “reporter” and these “journalists” is that the magazine writer got caught. The Rolling Stone debacle is one more example of journalists being more interested in creating a narrative that supports their agenda than reporting objectively.

Their faux outrage over Rolling Stone is really about the exposure of their craft as the lie-generating partisan advocacy enterprise it is. And that reality is the greatest true outrage of all.”

Yes the entire press is a collection of Democrat activists. We need to fight them with RICO statutes and any other tools of the law which might come to hand.

It is such a secret that the article has been redacted. Grey lines where the text should be! : )

Ain't that the truth. So much for democracy.

Even with the link you posted (thank you for trying) I could not access the full article. But the WT got me to click around their website a lot so they’re probably happy.

The unwillingness of the press to properly report the Benghazi debacle was, for me, the end of any expectation that the media in general would perform their function of properly notifying us of our government’s missteps—unless they are Republican missteps.if there are not enough Republican missteps, they will create some.

The corrupt news media. Exactly why we no longer watch the TV news in our household. We take only a local newspaper to keep abreast of the local activities, selectively read our news on the computer and listen to very few news outlets on the radio except for one HIGHLY conservative station (Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc.)

NAMBOLA (North American Media-Barack Obama Love Association).

NAMBOLA - the love that dares not speak its name.

motto - "We're not as bad as NAMBLA, as far as YOU know!"

The forth estate IS the fifth column.

The Liberal Democrat control of the information streams is the greatest threat this nation currently faces. Obama was elected ONLY because Democrats control "news" and "entertainment" industries. (I predict millions will die as a result of Obama.)

They refused to broadcast any of his crooked and bizarre history, and they went out of their way to make fake news about his Opponents.

If we don't destroy the existing Liberal Democrat Propaganda apparatus, we are never going to save this country.
