Let’s not forget one of the other eggregious attacks, this one at Fox, wherein the Bamboozle administration began its call to require programming that reflects “local interests” and the fairness doctrine. (Fox caved by the way moving more to the left).

Very seldom does the White House have to raise it’s voice.

99% of the press is so attached to Obama’s buttocks that they seldom open their eyes.

What I am waiting for is the dam to burst with reports about how journalists were bullied into not reporting on Obama’s eligibility issues. Further, how they were encouraged to belittle anyone who even questioned Obama’s legitimacy!

The fastest way to silence descent in the media is to attack the the character of the established members who have the power of the pen.

Start at the top, destroy their credibility and the message filters down to the rest of media...this will happen to you if you get out of line.

IMO.

The fastest way to silence descent dissent (is what I believe you meant to type).

I like the fact that he says a young journalist would have been more intimidated. He needs to say that again and again. I can take a lot of stuff from wherever but I know that my kids (well maybe not my kids, I raised them right) but their friends would simply take the easy route.

Thanks for the correction.

The press needs to decide if they’re going to be an arm of the democrat machine - or if they’re going to give honest information and facts to the American people.

They can’t do - or be - both.

Democrats feed the press stories they can't afford to find on their own.

Newsrooms run staff thin after years of short-term decision making by top editors. Calls that allowed editors to get 'easy' stories and do with fewer reporters. Stories handed to them by dem operatives. In the short run it worked - in the long run it destroyed the news industry. In the short term the press benefit from being bought whores...

In the long run their reputation's in the sewer and no one trust them. That 'no one' consist of readers and viewers who stop subscriptions and turn off the TV news.

The MSM must make a call - either they limp along losing credibility in dips and drabs - or they stand up and act like effing journalists and get their respect back... (and readers and viewers)

I think most of the MSM made that choice years ago.

Our Media has a history of descent.

The lies on top of the previous stack of lies, on top of the previous stack of lies is beginning to tumple down.

Had all this happened about 200 years ago, there would not have been electronic media to store all the comments on, and Obama might have pulled it all off for another 4 years.

I see the Walls of Obama’s Washington tumbling down-—and very soon at that.

Like Humpty Dumpty, Obama will not be put back together again.

He will fall in a heap of his own making.

Good riddance.

You are correct.

Fouche who was Napoleon's chief of police was quoted as saying, "It is not enough to merely kill a man. You must destroy his reputation."

Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.

Piss off the press and other media and OBAMA will not be heard from again!
