It’s apparent that the Muslim issue is hitting so close to home that the news media have gone into panic mode.

1. 0bama’s economy
2. 0bama’s religion
3. 0bama’s mosque
4. 0bama’s healthcare

All four topics hurt the Dems in the polls. Toss in Immigration/Arizona and 0bama is 0 for 5.

You have to go back to Carter to find that level of incompetence, and what’s instructive about Carter was that the news media falsely claimed that he was leading Reagan by 20% going into the November, 1980 election.

In other words, we already know that the news media will double-down on 0bama to try to prop him up as the election nears because the news media did that very thing for Carter.

The Journolist is nothing
more than Joseph Goebbels lite.

An informed public is necessary for the operation of
a Democratic republic. This so called list offends free speech rights, anti-trust law and may offend RICO.

Breitbart offered $100 grand and guaranteed anonymity as a reward for the list of names on Jornolist, causing Klein to shut it down. Now they have heir own secure server.

They need to be prosecuted for their crimes.

It's not just the JournoList.

Also remember how the Obama administration was using the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to coordinate inserting White House messages into works of art, like TV shows, music, and artworks.

Same stuff, different media.

And they aren’t interested in oppossing(sic) points of view.

That isn't exclusive to the liberal media.

Go on a Sarah palin thread and indicate that you feel she is something less than the savior of America.

You'll see "aren’t interested in opposing points of view" in spades.

“A growing body of evidence...”[10] (Where is the raw data for your review?)
“People say...” (Which people? How do they know?)
“It has been claimed that...” (By whom, where, when?)
“Critics claim...” (Which critics?)
“Clearly...” (As if the premise is undeniably true)
“It stands to reason that...” (Again, as if the premise is undeniably true—see “Clearly” above)
“Questions have been raised...” (Implies a fatal flaw has been discovered)
“I heard that...” (Who told you? Is the source reliable?)
“There is evidence that...” (What evidence? Is the source reliable?)
“Experience shows that...” (Whose experience? What was the experience? How does it demonstrate this?)
“It has been mentioned that...” (Who are these mentioners? Can they be trusted?)
“Popular wisdom has it that...” (Is popular wisdom a test of truth?)
“Commonsense has it/insists that...” (The common sense of whom? Who says so? See “Popular wisdom” above, and “It is known that” below)
“It is known that...” (By whom and by what method is it known?)
“Officially known as...” (By whom, where, when—who says so?)
“It turns out that...” (How does it turn out?)
“It was noted that...” (A commonly used start of a line by Auditors with poor workpapers or little evidence)
“Our product is so good, it was even given away in celebrity gift bags.” (True, perhaps, but not relevant.)
“See why more of our trucks are sold in Southern California than in any other part of the country.” (Southern California is a big vehicle market.)
“Nobody else’s product is better than ours.” (What is the evidence of this?)
“Studies show...” (what studies?)
“(The phenomenon) came to be seen as...” (by whom?)
“Some argue...” (who?)
“Up to sixty percent...” (so, 59%? 50%? 10%?)
“More than seventy percent...” (How many more? 70.01%? 80%? 90%?)
“The vast majority...” (All, almost all, more than half—how many?)

You can tell they are colluding. Look at the key word used - either wrongfully or incorrectly. That’s a dead give-a-way. Of course, they want Americans to think that he isn’t a Muslim, so, those who think he is are wrong or incorrect. I’ll bet they emphasize those words when spewing their talking points.

So I have noticed. But I believe it is true collusion, and that the JournoList is alive and well by other names.

The JournoList, despite its deserved notoriety, was made up mostly of B- and C-listers, and minor hangers-on.

One wonders where the electronic media heavies hang their hats -- the news producers and talent for NBC, MSNBC, CBS, CNN, and so on? JournoList was basically run out of a desk drawer at the Washington Post -- so were were the other big papers?

They own TV - ALL the 5 networks who own 99% of all the cable channels.

They are all for Imam Obama, Islam and the Victory Mosque.

Your monthly sat and cable TV bills keep this sick islamic monster alive.

To rid society of these people you need another 15 or 20 years to educate a new generation of patriotically minded and common sense people who would be acting in favor and in the interests of United States society.

I wish you were wrong.

I wish a lot of things.

How old are you?! No one under 60 watches “TV” anymore unless it is streamed commercial-free via the internet ala youtube and Netflix.

Broadcast TV news now reaches fewer than 18 million viewers out of over 300 million Americans. 6%.

You are ranting about 6% of the population.

All four topics hurt the Dems in the polls. Toss in Immigration/Arizona and 0bama is 0 for 5.

Don't forget NAACP racism and the Sherrod meltdown, both potentially hugely damaging to the liberal grift.

Do you suppose Obama deliberately took up mosque politics as a way of driving his base back to supporting him, and chasing the Sherrod thing off Page One? Sherrod and her lawsuit-bingo scandal could have been hugely damaging with his base as well as indies, if the whole reparations thing started to look like mass ripping-off and graft (which it is).

There's no way at all Obama and Sherrod could have looked good in that thing. By contrast, Obama at least gets to sound liberal and highminded and all, when he plays "right to worship" politics.
