Media Ignore Further Questions Over Obama-Fired Inspector Gen Walpin
Newsbusters ^ | 6/29/2009 | Brad Wilmouth

Apart from several reports on FNC, and a few on CNN, the mainstream television news media have ignored the controversial firing of former Inspector General Gerald Walpin, who had recently battled for tougher penalties against Obama friend and Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson after an investigation by Walpin found Johnson had misused hundreds of thousands of tax dollars granted by the AmeriCorps program to the Johnson-founded St. Hope charity. Over the past weeks, there have been a number of developments, including the opening of an FBI investigation into the St. Hope charity, further casting doubt on the White House's decisions and bolstering Walpin's case that he was wrongfully booted.

In the June 22 editorial "Walpin-gate Opens Wider; FBI Investigation Embarrasses the White House," the Washington Times wrote that "The FBI has opened an investigation into a Sacramento program formerly run by a close ally of President Obama's, giving credence to the IG's work."

Terrible that the media is ignoring this firing. It was politically motivated and should be looked into. Walpin was fired for uncovering corruption that would hurt Obama.

It’s not even on Fox News anymore. I wish there was a news channel that just reported the news straightforwardly without the BS.

I’m sending this to DRUDGE. We need to publicize this more. Any other ideas?

Undoubtedly, the vast majority of the mainstream media is too busy dry humping Barry’s leg to notice the huge arse meaty bone thrown out for them chase and eventually gnaw on...

Right. Fox news at times is even not doing its job. The media is falling apart.

Alberto Gonzales tanked because of this, even though nobody knew exactly why all those people were fired. Here, we have a pretty good working theory as to why a guy was fired, and nothing.

Call talk shows, write letters to newspapers and use Internet.

I agree with you about Fox (O’Reilly)... he has caved.... I only trust media reports from Canada Free Press” <business@canadafreepress.com or some of the news from England. They see obamanation exactly as he is and can’t believe we Americans are so blind.

"walpin" has also disappeared from FR's "Popular Keywords." One possibility is that we all have short attention spans, but Obama and Co. are throwing so much cr*p at us it's hard to keep up.
