What scandals? The media ignores or covers up bad news about Obama
New York Post ^ | July 27, 2013 | L. BRENT BOZELL III and TIM GRAHAM

In-mid May, new Obama scandals piled up at the White House. A portrait emerged of a president whose Internal Revenue Service was harassing his enemies, a State Department that lied to the world about the fatal debacle in Benghazi and a Justice Department spying on reporters who might leak anti-Obama information.

But several national journalists announced that Obama had been scandal-free for the first four years-and-change of his administration.

On NPR’s “Morning Edition,” anchorman Steve Inskeep asserted to Cokie Roberts that “this administration has been described — I don’t even know how many times — as remarkably scandal-free.”

On ABC’s “World News,” reporter Jonathan Karl proclaimed “a White House that takes pride in being scandal-free has been hammered by a series of controversies.” On MSNBC, Rana Foroohar of Time magazine lamented, “What’s so sad about it is the President has been very rightfully proud of the lack of scandal in his administration so far.”

These journalists suffered from complete, mentally paralyzing amnesia about the first term, with the deadly “Fast and Furious” gun-running fiasco, the embarrassing decline and fall of Solyndra and other solar energy companies funded by Energy Department loans and Benghazi-gate, to name a few.

MSM: "If we don't report it, if we don't run with it, it's not a scandal, and there's nothing you right-wingers can do about it! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

JournoList is what the MSM have finally come to - active collusion on how to cover stories, control the narrative, and spin events for partisan purposes.

Nothing will happen with all this investigation of the scandals. The main purpose is the investigators themselves are idiots. And that included Issa. There is no force but just continue BS.

Wrong! They're not suffering from amnesia. They're liars.

Unless you live in the real, this could be true.

I don’t recall Pravda or Izvestia ever talking bad about Soviet leaders.

Same thing is all.

Main Stream Media's two primary functions:
(1) Preserve the ignorance of the Obama electorate.
(2) Queue up to lick the crap from Obama's boots each time he steps in it.

The Republican “leadership” in Congress is largely ignoring Obama’s scandals, as well.
