Media Bias and the GOP Double Standard


During the 2008 campaign, the media never opened a debate in the Democrat primary by asking Hilary Clinton how missing documents from the Rose law firm showed up at the White House, or questioning her claim that she landed under sniper fire in Bosnia. Nor did they ever open a debate questioning Obama about his his cocaine use in college, his missing transcripts and birth certificate, or his relationship with Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

When Newt fired back at an obvious media ambush during the opening question of the GOP debate in South Carolina, the mainstream media ratcheted up their attacks. Was it a coincidence that ABC decided to air their ‘surprise’ interview with Newt’s ex-wife after the last debate—and only hours before the South Carolina primary? Was it a coincidence that John King cited the ABC smear story to open the debate? Newt was right to be outraged, and his surge in support after his fiery answer shows that many voters feel the same way.

One thing is clear—the mainstream media isn’t even pretending to be impartial anymore. Republican candidates are constantly attacked and forced to defend themselves against every innuendo, while Obama gets a free pass on every issue. The double standard is now so obvious and so extreme that the media isn’t even making a pretense of being objective anymore.

After Newt fired back at ABC and CNN with both guns blazing, Ann Curry once again tried to ambush Newt during a live interview on NBC Today. First, she accused him of being racist because he called Obama a “food stamp President.” She went on to quote a New York Times editorial that implied that Newt and all South Carolina Republicans are racist:

“By mixing falsehoods with racial condescension, Newt Gingrich brought a raucous presidential debate crowd to its feet on Monday night in South Carolina, further cheapening his reputation and that of the state Republican Party…

In South Carolina, where a Confederate flag still waves on the front lawn of the State Capitol largely because of the efforts of the state Republican Party, it remains good primary politics to stir up racial animosity and then link it to President Obama.” –The New York Times

Curry wrapped up by asking Newt “Are you intentionally playing the race card to win votes?” Once again, Newt smacked down the liberal media ambush with a clear, forceful and passionate response:

“Modern liberals are totally off the deep end. When conservatives care about the poor and conservatives offer ideas to help the poor and conservatives suggest that the poor would rather have a paycheck than a food stamp, the very liberals who have failed them—at places like The New York Times—promptly scream ‘racism’ because they have no defense for the failure of liberal institutions which have trapped poor children in bad schools, trapped them in bad neighborhoods, trapped them in crime-ridden situations. Liberal solutions have failed, and their only answer is to yell ‘racism’ and hide.”

In their attack on Newt, both Ann Curry and The New York Times failed to mention that the confederate flag isn’t flying over the South Carolina Capitol—it’s across from the Capitol over a memorial to Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. And the compromise to fly the flag over the Confederate War Memorial was brokered by a Democrat governor more than a decade ago. This is not a Newt issue, and it’s not new issue. Now the liberal media is trying to use it to dismiss Newt’s surge in South Carolina by painting the whole state as racist. In their eyes, that might somehow diminish Newt’s success by convincing the rest of the country to ignore South Carolina completely.

We all know the mainstream media is biased. Now it seems they’re trying desperately just to remain relevant. Meanwhile, the surge in support for Newt after his smackdown of the liberal media is showing what everyone else already knows. The mainstream media is a joke.


Obama Has Lost His Pizazz!


Americans are tired of Obama jumping on National TV every day with his canned campaign speech – he’s one person who can’t rub his head and pat his tummy at the same time. His speeches are canned, predictable and boring. How many times must one endure his rhetoric and lies? We get it regardless of what he says; he’s all about redistribution and big Government.

Democrats and Republicans called their own meetings without inviting the Obama God. Both sides realize he’s a detriment not an asset, so they dumped him! Last evening Obama’s speech was predictable, non –sensical; nothing more than a 2012 campaign speech hoping to attract American voters and solidify his Democratic base.

First he must blame someone - President Bush took the hit again.
Next, he attempts to scare the elderly – basically saying if the debt ceiling isn’t raised it will result in default and over the cliff they’ll go…
Than he throws a scare at all Americans – saying bills won’t be paid if we default. He said he would not be able to pay all of the government’s bills, including Social Security checks and veterans’ benefits.
Next he played the blame game – saying Republicans want a “cut only” plan.

Finally his big hit was on those earning over 250,000 per year – he says the wealthy aren’t being asked to contribute anything.

So the wrap up of this speech comes down to this – he doesn’t have a plan his speech was poetic rhetoric laced with one lie after another. S & P told GOD, Democrats and Republicans that the credit rating would drop if we don’t reduce budget deficits and reduce the National Debt. This means the Government must stop the spending spree and ruthlessly slash the National Debt; there’s no negotiation here!

Around the Nation in a Flash:

CNN – has reluctantly been kept busy exposing their Democratic base. They just finished with the Weiner body parts and now they have an Oregon Congressman (U.S. Rep. David Wu) who’s resigning due to a daughter of one of Wu’s fund-raisers accused him of unwanted sexual advances in May.

In March of this year, Rep. Alcee Hastings was accused of sexual harassment of an employee for a period of about two years.

Eric Massa Resigns over Sexual Harassment Charges Further Disgracing Democrats in March 2010 and the sordid list just keeps rambling on…

Possibly there’s a connection between Liberals and sexual dysfunctions, maybe the Liberal ideology ravages the mind. Pelosi and Schultz seem to be cut from the same Liberal cloth; both repeatedly tell falsehoods pretty much on a daily basis.

Look at Debbie Wasserman Schultz a perfect example of a Liberal woman struggling with truth. Politifact – exposed her blatant lie the first of July when she said, “The Medicare proposal by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., would “allow insurance companies to deny you coverage and drop you for pre-existing conditions.” — False according to Politifact

Look at Pelosi – she said, “In the first year of the Obama administration, more jobs were created in the private sector than in the eight years of the Bush administration.” — False, False, False according to Politifact. Frankly we didn’t need Politifact to verify that Pelosi and Wasserman are lying!

It has to be the “ideology” that is affecting the minds of MSNBC, CNN, Media Matters, CBS, NYT – their inability to discuss both sides of a story pretty much reflects back to what Obama said, their news is splintered; it’s one sided and without merit.

After being immersed in the garbage trenches for so many years, it’s no wonder that they’ve lost contact with reality. Ironically, their children, grandchildren and friends are being demonized by this sick group of so called journalists. I guess it just goes to show Americans, that the Liberal News Media will sell anything including their kids if the price is right.

May God Bless America
