Obama Effect already working to embargo Fox News story
American Thinker ^ | 10/22/09 | Ray Robison

Posted on 10/22/2009 9:08:27 AM PDT by Nachum

Yesterday, Fox News reported the hearings held by Senator Joe Lieberman with cabinet officials concerning a shortage of flu vaccine. I'm sitting in Afghanistan not getting much broadcast TV news. I wanted to find out more, so I searched Google News for related articles. It turns out that as of this writing, the rest of the media is not reporting this event, at least in print.

Try this. Go to the Google search page, click on the "News" tab. Now enter "Joe Lieberman".

If the rest of the media wants to commit suicide with 1000 cuts then they have chosen that. If they want to be seen by more and more Americans as lapdogs for the WH then they have made their choice. If they still want to sink in the ratings and lose revenue as a result it will be by their choosing.

Here’s a link to an article siting the fact that we are or will be shipping 10% of our vaccine overseas...... why hasn’t THAT been mentioned again???

To be fair, the article says that we have not done that yet. We have only promised, along with Europe, to make it available. I am not sure that is bad policy either. If the epidemic is bad enough in some places, it has the possibility of reaching us too.

At first blush it seems like a bad idea though. Not everything the administration does is bad. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. :)

It's frightening clear that the other networks have chosen obedience to the WH over facts, ratings, free speech, and Independence.

And yet they still have meetings with each other and try to figure out why they are losing more and more viewers to FOX, the internet, and talk radio.

Not that FOX and the others mentioned don't have a bias and an agenda. It's those are the few that haven't put on the knee pads for the WH.

This will backfire big time. In his overly emotional response to criticism, he has become worse than Nixon.

Anybody watching anything but Fox isn’t getting real news anyway, to me what does it matter, if they’re watching MSNBC or the other networks their numskulls anyway.

Can you imagine what would happen if he thought someone was going to release secret information about his military decisions in Cambodia Afghanistan?

Nothing new.

The MSM for 40 years have been political orgs who hire ONLY Dem hacks to pose as reporters, that run a 24/7/365 political campaign against Republicans.

They are Democrat Party orgs who should be subject to campaign rules and laws. Past time to sue.

If I need a laxative I just turn on Keith Oberman for about 45 seconds. That is all it takes. :)

And now it’s time to return the favor. Ever notice how many ‘presstitutes’ are now working in the WH? Or the unfettered access the WH gives their BFF? (Gibbs in the dunking booth LOL)
It’s the same playbook FDR used.

“Conservative Search Engine” sounds like a dandy business opportunity to me

Heads Up! Rush is talking about this now! He believes the MSM is following Obama’s lead. Scary stuff.

Interesting...

A search of joe lieberman vaccine yielded a bunch of recent stories, the first several being from Fox News, but nothing from the Democrat newsrooms (ABC NBC, CNN, CBS, NY Times, etc.) at all.

The news media has been ignoring news stories while Fox reports them. This is not new, of course you know. The MSM will continue to suffer in low ratings...

Here’s how you know you’re using a Conservative Search Engine: if you enter the words “Obama Vaccine” it returns “Sarah Palin”.

The flu is coming from Mexico and three of the four vaccine manufacturers are in Europe or China because of class action suits and Democrat regulation.
