Nobody missed this tape. Not here on FR and on talk radio, where I heard it played repeatedly in February.
This is #247 on the media's "ignore" list of eggregious dispicable acts Obama has committed.
Limbaugh and Hannity mentioned it numerous times... but unless a story gets published on any of the Liberal Network outlets, such as CNN, NYslimes, MSNBC, ABC, CBS etc.....
They they just pretend it's not a story.
Believe me, I worked at a newspaper which only would go after a story if the AP, or any of the above media outlets ALSO went after it.
That's why they call it herd mentality.
They have a gentleman's agreement NOT to do stories critical of Obama... and woe unto them who break that rule.
Just look at the reporters who got blacklisted by Obama and the liberal networks in the past eight months.
You are correct. They do follow the AP, just like the papers follow the New York Times.
