I honestly used to think that 1992 was the worst case of media manipulation I'd ever seen in politics. This campaign makes that one look positively above-board.
And only 7 years later this country would even consider voting for this man.
We need to get operatives into every MSM outlet and stat.
This is supposed to be the media informing the public, not influencing elections! No better than Al Jazeera.
The Klein Example
Editorial of The New York Sun | February 18, 2005
If the president of Columbia University, Lee Bollinger, is still trying to figure out the right way to handle the crisis over the Middle East studies department there, one good move would be to give the New York City schools chancellor, Joel Klein, a call. When The New York Sun’s Julia Levy broke the news that one of Columbia’s notoriously anti-Israel professors, Rashid Khalidi, was going to be paid to train New York City schoolteachers on how to teach about the Middle East to impressionable school children, the city’s education department dropped Mr. Khalidi faster than one could say Yasser Arafat.
“Considering his past statements, Rashid Khalidi should not have been included in a program that provided professional development for DOE teachers and he won’t be participating in the future,” Mr. Klein’s press secretary, Jerry Russo, said in a statement.
In that straightforward sentence from the City of New York is encapsulated more sense than anything Mr. Bollinger or his team of Columbia colleagues have been able to muster so far in months of dealing with Mr. Khalidi & Co. The Columbia president has responded to the scandal there by appointing committees and task forces, by hand wringing about the First Amendment, and by paying calls around the city to reassure Jewish leaders that he won’t tolerate bigotry on campus.
In contrast, the City of New York responded by promptly severing whatever relationship it had with the professor. It was plain to the city authorities that Mr. Khalidi shouldn’t be training city schoolteachers.
We have to find ways of creating new markets to counter this crap from the left.......AM radio and FOX have gone a long way to get out the truth but we need to address the issues of the radicals polluting our school systems by demanding vouchers....everywhere! It the only way I see of breaking their precious monopoly in our local schools.
I’ve been thinking that we might ought to swallow our pride and start bombarding Bill Clinton with e-mails. Akppeal to his “legacy” and ask him to save our country. He has the power to do it. He hates obama and his ego would be stoked to stop forward and bring down this POS.
I am tired of the media doing this injustice to the American people. We have the right to know everything and make up our own minds and not have the liberal loser media do it for us. This is another socialist principle and attempt at mind control.
CONTACT THE LA TIMES AND DEMAND THEY RELEASE THE OBAMA VIDEO OF HIM PRAISING KHALIDI!

Can someone file a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against them?
Media bias alert
Sean is AWESOME and FEARLESS... Kudos to this man
That would be an interesting angle (especially since the left keeps saying the Constitution is a living document)........they would claim copyright and we would claim right to know and the people's greater good .....who would win depends on the court that hears it.
thanks for the link....email sent!
They’re just waiting for the Sunday edition just before the election so as to maximize it’s effect. Isn’t that how they always handle these high-impact political stories? /sarc
I am astounded to find this on a Hillary website.
I have to say, Hillary made a HUGE tactical error when she did NOT attack Obama on his associations. She would have beaten the crap out of him.

Nope, FoIA only applies to the government.
