I have a hard time believing he voted for Obama a second time knowing what he knows. If true, he is an idiot, in my opinion.

[Spok]

NBC does not report the news; it advocates.

And creates its own version of news.

[RetSignman]

It would be difficult to find out who he voted for unless he wanted it to be known.

[The Cajun]

He probably wanted who he voted for coming out to give himself credibility.

Do think it was a little revenge on his part for being demoted by his heroes.

Got to look at every angle when it comes to motivation by a RAT.

[Hoodat]

That picture says it all.

"I think very soon we will see some crisis, doesn’t have to be major, just something MSM can use to ignore Benghazi, and the IRS. Although a major crisis would better serve their purpose." I'm sick to my stomach thinking of these animals doing just what you say.

I've had an uneasy feeling that this is their only way out of Benghazi hearings and scrutiny of their role in Benghazi.

How low will they go to protect themselves and their political careers....

"Mr. and Mrs. Toensing are both knowledgeable and fearless. If the media want to go toe to toe with them they will lose."

...knowledgeable and fearless..........

Is right. Hope they have security for themselves.

Steve Malzberg is second only to Rushbo. I miss him on local radio station. Hoping the Apple 970 picks him up.

I kinda agree - he was good when we got him, but I guess he was a little too rough for the management of our local station which dumped him over a year ago for Huckleberry.

If he voted for Obama twice, he voted for him after Benghazi.

I believe him, but I guess he only became a whistle-blower because his own career was threatened, not because we had four dead Americans directly attributed to this administration.

As someone already said, to spike a story is to hide or just ignore it.

My understanding is that waaaaay back when newspapers were the main source of fast news (i.e., before TV or the Internet), reporters would find themselves adrift in sheets and sheets of paper all over the place as they tried to pull together the pieces of a fast-moving story. So some smart person put a spike on his desk, and whenever he was done with a particular piece of paper, he’d jam it onto the spike. (I say “he” because in those days there were few female reporters.) When the spike was full of paper, an office boy making the rounds to clean up the place would take all the pieces of paper at once and throw them away.

So to “spike” a story intentionally was to put in on the throwing-away spike without dealing with it. To ignore it.

(If there are any old-timey journalists who have a better version of this story, please feel free to correct this!)

Even though he has my sympathy and support, he would probably do so again.

Don’t ever forget that.

Great info
thanks
I had no idea and tried to relate it to spiking a ball but that didn’t really make sense.
I bet MSM would love to spike all the 0dumbo news.
