White House to media--'Don't report what you discover'

White House to media--'Don't report what you discover' April 5, 5:31 PMConservative ExaminerAnthony G. Martin

In light of numbing revelations over the last several days concerning fraudulent statements on Barack Obama's resume, this piece of information curiously comes to light.

The White House has instructed the 'mainstream media' not to report what they may discover.

The White House directive was issued as part of a deal struck between the Office of the President and reporters of the mainstream media.

In exchange for being given unprecedented access to Barack Obama, reporters would promise not to report 'certain matters' they may discover while covering the President.

From Steve Clemons at The Washington Note:

What I have learned after discussions over the last several days with several journalists who either have regular access to the White House or are part of the White House press corps is that there is a growing sense that access is traded for positive stories -- or perhaps worse, an agreement that things learned will not be reported in the near term.

What, exactly, is meant by 'things learned?' What information could a journalist uncover while having close access to the President that would be deemed so damaging, embarrassing, or even worse, that the White House is exhibiting a near-paranoia in making sure such information is not reported?

And more importantly, why would any true journalist who is worth his/her salt agree to such a scheme?

Clemons believes that part of the reason is that some reporters who cover the White House want to write books about Obama.

I have long thought that most reporters, actors and politicians, doing nothing really useful, have sold their souls to lucifer in return for temporary success and to obstruct those of us who do not worship lucifer.

Oh... almost anyone who wants to work for the NYT, Washington Post or other flagship MSM media.

Journalist ethics have been so totally compromised in the years since the 70s that they might not even exist except in rare cases.

Journalists these days do not consider themselves impartial observers and reporters. They want to make things better, change the world, etc. If that means the truth suffers, it’s just part of the price that must be paid — as they see it.

Are these reporters not smart enough to see what a great opportunity this is?

They could be the next Woodward/Bernstein.

What reporter would accept these odious terms?

Seems there were a few recently that did something similar.

But it was with a different Hussein.

What reporter would agree to such an odious arrangement.

Unfortunately, nearly all of them.

I think we keep thinking the MSM is somehow separate from this Obama Dictatorship. I feel they are very much part of the this regime and the rise of such. They are what Huxley was calling the “privlidged class”: They have all the “freedom” they want in this Dictatorial Government to investigate Obama’s opponenets (US Citizens) but lose their “freedom’ when they meddle outside of the rule of Obama.

The White House has instructed the 'mainstream media' not to report what they may discover.

Revelations about what personal info he has under lock and key and no doubt armored guard hidden from Americans to see, especially including his school records from grade school through applications for college, grades and whatever he wrote under any of the names he may have used.

I actually think that finding out about this little arrangement to not disclose things discovered “in the near term” is exciting news. I think that should inspire the tabloids to get to work and dig up the dirt. Also, it will only take one resentful person who wants to settle a score to reveal what everyone else has kept hidden. Americans don’t keep secrets well when they feel they have been treated unjustly. Somebody’s going to feel slighted and start dishing.

Maybe. I bet they value their life a little bit more. The Chicago thug machine is on steroids now backed by a lot of money, our money, sadly. It's frustrating as h@ll!
