Media Yawn at Obama and Biden Snubbing Auschwitz Anniversary; Mocked Cheney’s Appearance in 2005
By Curtis Houck | January 28, 2015
Tuesday marked the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and, naturally, the event attracted plenty of media coverage. In addition to each of the three major networks devoting segments to it on their evening newscasts, the Associated Press, The New York Times, and The Washington Post and published stories on the topic.
Over on cable, CNN covered it multiple times throughout the day for a total of 10 minutes and 27 seconds worth of airtime. At the other end of the coverage spectrum, MSNBC pathetically made no mention of the occasion or the ceremony that took place in Poland at the site of the former Nazi concentration camp.
Despite all of the airtime, there was no criticism or mentioning on any of the liberal broadcast or cable networks that President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were not among the numerous heads of state on hand for this important occasion that also takes place on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Among the print outlets listed above, they were barely able to do any better as they left readers to infer that Obama and Biden were not in attendance by stating that U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew was among the foreign leaders at the event and led the U.S. delegation.
It’s safe to say that, if a Republican administration had made the decision to not appear at the 70th anniversary of an important event from World War II, the liberal media would have found time to both cover it and make it a huge story.

I think Biden missing this event, and the one in Paris a few weeks ago, shows that he really isn’t interested in running for president.
Obie has no use...for JOOS/

He’s quick to get over to the Saudi’s though.
You just got to remember that John sKerry sent a guitar player/singer to Paris/France and Ali Obola sent Churchill’s bust back to England!!!
Any further questions???

“It’s safe to say that, if a Republican administration had made the decision to not appear at the 70th anniversary of an important event from World War II, the liberal media would have found time to both cover it and make it a huge story. In fact ...”
“It’s safe to say” isn’t exactly great gotcha journalism. Showing that the media actually did complain about a Republican not attending such a major event would have been on point.
When I got to the paragraph starting with “In fact ...” I was expecting a fact to support the thing that’s “safe to say” but instead the author complains that the media made fun of Cheney’s coat which is sort of interesting but not really on point.
The body language does say a lot, doesn’t it? What’s up with his hand in the picture on the lower right? Is that some praying posture or what?
Muslims celebrated Auschwitz 70th anniversary by killing to Israeli soldiers.
Two Israeli Soldiers Killed in Hezbollah Attack Near Lebanon Border

Two Israeli soldiers were killed and others injured in a Hezbollah attack on an Israeli military convoy near the Lebanon border Wednesday.
The Times of Israel reported that an Israel Defense Forces vehicle was targeted by an anti-tank missile along the border as IDF positions along the border and on Mount Hermon were struck by mortar shells. Israeli officials ordered residents along the border to remain indoors.
IKE was right in having the scenes at the death camps filmed to preserve them for posterity. If not, by now the liberal media would have proved conclusively that they never occurred at all and those who said so were ‘Bitter Clingers”.
"Death to America!"
