Instapundit: MSM in the tank for O
Instapundit ^ | 9-29-2008 | Glenn Reynolds

Posted on 09/29/2008 6:59:59 PM PDT by Bryher1

A READER AT A MAJOR NEWSROOM EMAILS: "Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in arizona. Not a single one looking into Acorn, Ayers or Freddiemae. Editor refuses to publish anything that would jeopardize election for O...

Many believe the "new media" can balance the books, but that would take a set of candidates willing to ignore, boycott and ridicule the demands of the old media. Instead, Senator McCain and Governor Palin go on ABC, CBS, the View, etc. and let their words and selves be twisted into caricatures of the people they are.

it’s more like a socialist coup.

the public schools have been dumbed down for decades,

the universities radicalized since the sixties,

if elected, obama will consolidate by pooring billions into community organizing,

like nicaruagua’s community cells.

This LW propagandist posing as an editor should be found out and fired for malfeasance. He is dishonoring his profession.

The tipster couldn’t have been from the NYT. The Slimes wouldn’t be caught dead with just eight reporters rummaging through dumpsters. It would have at least 20.

Another young journalist just discovered the Real World.

Not really about reporting the truth, only Their Truth.

“A reader at a major newsroom. . .”

Seriously, we’d never stand for that kind of attribution if this were a rumor about McCain/Palin.

I don’t doubt the content of the post, but using anonymous whispers is rather suspect.

This is from a blog that does not overhype things, is very low key, not particularly pro-GOP, and as honest as there is in the world of blogs. Glenn Reynolds would not do this if he didn't know it was true.

Would you have the person's name published and ruin their career?

I get tired of the MSM thinking their opinions are of interest to me. They need to report the news. Any opinions belong on the editorial page. Screw the lot of them.

“The Edwards debacle was proof enough of where the heart of the MSM lies, and lack of curiousity of the press about Edwards probably cost Hillary the nomination. And that shameful episode offers a warning to the MSM. What if Obama does have a skeleton in his closet (such as a shady deal or outright bribe) that is revealed after he wins the election? While the chance of this scenario is remote, imagine the backlash against the MSM if it could be shown that a reasonable investigation by the MSM would have easily revealed this secret to the public prior to the election?”

_______________________________________________________________________________

That’s the real reason dems have unceremoniously kicked Edwards to the curb. He knew this had to blow up sooner or later but he blithely covered it up and hung on long enough to drag down Hillary.

Meanwhile, Tony Rezko is singing to the Feds. What happens when it all comes out the day after Obama is sworn in and we’re treated to another long, drawn-out impeachment debacle with the dems forced to relive the nightmare and wallow through the gutter and disgrace themselves trying to protect and cover up for their Main Man.

I agree, Rosie. These liberal rags are now proveably seditious. A line has been crossed that threatens the very foundation of this great Republic.
We need Sarah Palin NOW!!

I wouldn’t describe it as in the tank because it’s more of a love affair - they’re having intercourse in every way and position kama sutra.
