One of the worst ways that the lack of ideological diversity in America's newsrooms shows forth is in the media's treatment of sensational accusations against the current president.
Oftentimes, explosive allegations against presidents are either untrue or drastically overstated: George W. Bush deliberately lying to get the U.S. to war so he can cash in or deliberately ignoring Hurricaine Katrina due to his hatred of black people (a la Kanye West), Bill Clinton's supposed involvment in the drug trade, so on and so forth.
Journalists do the public a service by rebutting absurd conspiracy theories and wacko charges. In recent memory, though, they have taken a much greater zeal toward stamping out allegations against Democrats, particularly President Obama, a stark contrast to the kidglove or even promotional attitude they took toward books by liberal authors alleging all sorts of anti-Bush absurdities.
World Net Daily-affiliated author Aaron Klein recently discovered this when he sent his new book, "The Manchurian President," to members of the media he hoped would review it. He got some very angry responses. Here are some of the more colorful ones:
"Never, ever contact me again," wrote Time Magazine senior writer Jeffrey Kluger.
Newsweek deputy editor Rana Foroohar quipped,"This is sensational rubbish that is of no interest to any legitimate publication."
"Absolute crap," replied Evelyn Leopold, a Huffington Post contributor who served for 17 years as U.N. bureau chief for Reuters until recently.
Nancy Gibbs, editor-at-large for Newsweek, fired, "Remove me from your list."
David Knowles, AOL's political writer, responded, "seriously, get a life."
Ben Wyskida, publicity director for The Nation, claimed Klein's book is "so offensive" and "so far afield."

GO!!! GO!!! GO!!!!!:) Write a review and give it FIVE STARS just for being written!;)
Liberals remind me of alcoholic. abusive husbands, they’re basically saying to anyone who disagrees with them, “B*tch, I told you I’m sorry I blacked your eye and broke your arm. Now go in the kitchen and make my dinner.”
They get very upset when people have different opinions. They are confused that people are not just falling in line like they are told.
I say F* the liberals and the muslim arab they rode in on.
Subjects covered:
Obama’s mysterious college years unearthed
*Shocking new details of Obama’s relationship with Bill Ayers and other Weathermen terrorists

You just won the prize!!!
When “O” comes into his “kingdom” the “Angry Journalists” expect to be part of it. Can’t let the angry white people find out what’s going to happen to them.
You got it. They are absolutly terrified Obama and themselves will be exposed.
My copy is on order.
Too late. WND threw them a big fat hanging curve ball. Best publicity a book can get. They should put the quotes on the jacket cover.
Amazon has it at #11 on their bestseller list so guess it’s selling without the reviews of these irrelevant little gate keepers.
That is a very typical reaction of cult-members...
Actually, those who have hidden the secrets and know where the bodies are buried will be the first real targets. I guess the legacy media isn’t quite up on its history.
I think those responses should be put on the back cover in the next edition. Wear them like a badge of honor.
thanks for posting this
Amazon has the foreward and first chapter readable on preview
looks like a well researched book
He’s an angry elf!
There are copies at half.com. Probably a little cheaper too.
The MSM knows the ‘bama would never open up enough to permit the facts to be checked. One might draw an inference about the books’ accuracy if that’s the case.
~~Best seller rising ............. PING!
