Sarah Palin Blasts Press: You Only 'Cry Foul' When 'Obama's Boot is on Your Neck'

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin blasted the mainstream press for only holding President Barack Obama accountable when they are impacted by Obama's overreach and abuses, while not being watchdogs in nearly every other case.

"Lamestream calls for empathy, even outrage, for a First Amendment violation that's on par with all the abuse we've brought to your attention as Obama stomps on our Constitution," Palin wrote on her Facebook page after the Obama administration's FCC aborted plans to monitor the country's newsrooms. "You've IGNORED us, you've marginalized us, you've left us for 'destroyed.' But when Obama's boot is on YOUR neck you finally wake the h*ll up and cry foul? Good Lord."

Palin, who resolved before the new year to hold the "lapdog media" more accountable, posted her message on Facebook after the FCC backtracked on Friday and said it would not ask newsrooms to answer questions about how they conduct their news-gathering operations. As Breitbart News reported, Mignon Clyburn, the daughter of Fairness Doctrine proponent Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), has been leading the charge on behalf of the FCC. 

Palin linked to a Breitbart News article about many of the Obama administration's abuses in cracking down on freedom of the press. Proving Palin's point, one of the only other times the mainstream press held the Obama administration to account was after revelations that the administration intercepted email and phone messages from mainstream media journalists for national security purposes.

We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I think once the existence of “Journ-0-list” was confirmed, the MSM lost ANY claim to “impartiality”.

[oldbrowser]

Everybody knows how the propaganda media “gathers” their information. They get talking points from the white house.

It’s not difficulty to understand the lack of outrage by the state-run media at Obama’s plans to “monitor” news gathering. As they’re entirely in the tank for the regime, exactly what “monitoring” would be needed to keep them in line? This was directed at “noncompliant” media.

I think these servile, foot-licking stenographers rather enjoy the boot on their necks. They believe it will give them a chance to touch the hem of his garment, or something.

As I understand it, the Obama Press Laws are still going to be implemented, just a little later. The delay gives the dust time to settle and blackmail a few more media types into giving loud support.
The Republicans said little and did nothing except continue to bash Conservatives and the Tea Party.
If the Conservatives had a functioning power base, they could be giving awards and public appearance opportunities to media types who expose the fascist fist behind the Obama glove. But the cowardly reporters have no incentive to make waves as they have no political support, protection or motivation to speak the truth.

...the Obama Press Laws are still going to be implemented, just a little later.

Yeah, "just a little later" and applied only to certain classifications of media such as Fox News, Breitbart, broadcasters carrying programs deemed offensive (Rush, Levin, etc)...

MSM's at no risk of having any boot on their necks, but we certainly are.

Molon Labe, mofo.

[fortheDeclaration]

The MSM doesn’t even care that Obama is going after them, they are that Leftwing!

[bert]

The tyrant will not be outed if the masses never get the message.

The MSM necks need a lot more heavy boots to effect change.

Yeah, 'FOR AMERICA' is no motivation for those self-absorbed cowardly wusses.

[Lakeshark]

Sarah needs to be reminded that the MSM is somewhat into S&M......

[KC_Lion]

AH! Unthink!

But did they "cry foul"?

Isn't it just Fox News that's talking about the story?

I don't remember seeing references to it on the broadcast networks.

If your family tree looks like your organization chart at work...you might be part of the Washington press corps.

Even most of the partisan media shills crapped a little in their pants when they found out about this FCC crackdown.
