We have a Hitler in the bunker. Its time to go to work my friends. Stay on the boards every second.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Do they quash any of those stories too? Or do they just ruthlessly squash them?

“The Bush administration had a worse reputation,” said Marcus Brauchli,

Oh this is rich.......first of all there is no way Bush had any secrets, if he was accused of one it was a manufactured secret. Secondly, Bush’s reputation was destroyed with the daily accusations and lies put forth by the rats and their journalist cohorts.

The Bush administration had a worse reputation? Oh well, what do you expect from the WaPo? They so leftist their desks all lean over sideways. It’s the only way they can work.

"What sets the Obama administration apart from others, said Downie, is not its attempt to control the media narrative but rather its shameless ability to do so."

That is not Obama's fault, it is the media's fault, and I spit on them for it. Their ancient conceit that they 'speak truth to power' is just a bad, bad joke in the Obama era. Unfortunately, I have a sister and brother-in-law in the liberal media, and I think then day is coming when I will just unload on them at a family event. I have avoided it for years for the sake of the family, but I am up to here with this media sanctimony.

Oh please. The media has held out the “spike” for Obama’s folks to kill stories and if they haven’t, then the media has done it for them. What a crock.

then why does the media protect and cover for him?

[Kaslin]

I don’t blame you at all. We all are tired of it

[Kaslin]

The negative reputation was made up by the drive-by media. President Bush served honorable in the highest Office of the Country unlike that arrogant pos that currently occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

[Darksheare]

He wouldn’t be even a fourth as successful at it without a willingly complicit press.

[jeffc]

The “news” media are willing participants in real news suppression. The Zero King is their own selected despot.

[bboop]

Yes, a little Hitler there. And what’s with the press? Surely he is not threatening them with death camps? Is there no testosterone there? Is there nothing they will make a stand for? Can’t they see how cowardly it is to let themselves be intimidated in a FREE COUNTRY by a president who considers himself above the law? There must be a large number of them by now?

[Chode]

please, 99% of the stories spiked are spiked by the L$M itself...

[cherry]

its all BS.....ASK QUESTIONS...DEMAND ANWSERS...don't quit until you get them...follow up all stories...

these SCM should look in the mirror.....bammey the boy would not get away with anything if we had an adversarial media in this country, like it used to be....God knows they have given every single Republican a Hell of a inquisition....still do....

pathetic little wimps....

[winner3000]

This is BS. The Obama administration has been successful because the journalists allowed them to be successful. If they wrote front page after front page articles about those administration abuses and lack of transparency, this wouldn’t be happening. But they are cut from the same political cloth, and have decided never to criticize him no matter what he does.

[Lazamataz]

The crazy thing is, when the whip comes down, these very people will be the first ones Obama kills.

[BluH2o]

“Most administrations aren’t very successful. This one has been very tightly disciplined.”

It's not that they're more disciplined or clever the liberal media has simply rolled over for them ... to the extent the Clinton years (the last time the liberal MSM rolled over for the 'rats) are pale by comparison.
