Media: Funny, we always thought a key job of editors was to make sure the actual meaning of words mattered. Well, maybe not after all.
Just ask a Washington Post blogger and the watchdogs at Media Matters, the George Soros-funded group dedicated to advancing a leftist agenda by playing at media criticism.
Here's the Post's Greg Sargent, forwarding the gist of the latest Fox News-related "scandal" uncovered by MM:
"Audio of the Fox exec in charge of political coverage admitting that he repeatedly speculated on the air during the 2008 campaign about Obama's alleged socialist tendencies, even though he privately found the notion 'far-fetched.'"
The exec would be Bill Sammon, chief of Fox's Washington bureau who was caught on tape saying, "At that time, I have to admit that I went on TV on Fox News and publicly engaged in what I guess was some rather mischievous speculation about whether Barack Obama really advocated socialism, a premise that privately I found rather far-fetched."
Sargent again: "Sammon is conceding that the idea did indeed strike him as far-fetched in 2008, even though he and his network aggressively promoted it day-in and day-out throughout the campaign. And he's defending this by pointing out that the idea ended up gaining traction, as if this somehow justifies the original act of dishonesty!" Italics, his.

How could the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate be anything but a SOCIALIST?!?!
Everything about Obama’s policies, ideas, and autobiography SCREAM “Socialist”!
I contend that Obama is socialist, Muslim and anti-American. I challenge anyone to give me one scrap of evidence to the contrary, (other than his just saying so).
The closest analogy may be the co-pilot screaming “Allahu Akbar” as he puts the airliner in a fatal overspeed dive.
To the contrary, Obama is not a socialist. Obama is a Stalinist.
More a Marxist than socialist. Obama is systematically deconstructing American Society in the hope he can change everything into a utopian daydream. He is a brilliant devil.
Repeat DEVIL.. He is one extremely evil man.
Egypt Air 990. RIP
This is the best they got?
Here is some evidence so you no longer have to “contend” and pussy foot, mince your words as you will know unequivocally where he stands.
This Obama experiment is going to be way to expensive to America. It was all out of hand well before this. The 12th Iman needs to vacate the White House.
... from a previous post
The anti American has summoned and started the assembly of the greatest force against America.
He has taken America into Jihad... and beyond.
The ME? ... consolidating it for his brethren with American fire power @ Americas expense.
His first speech in Cairo... His speech in Indonesia included references against the Jews.
He has more than shown himself to be on side with muslims. Heck! He shares their same mantra....death to America.
Lose the ME? I don’t thinkso....consolidate it in the name of Allah.
For Obama? Its the ..current policy from the white house.....the marginalization and destruction of America.
Obama , culturally never was an American as he carries many chips on his shoulder and as we see from his old culture at many levels. He feels for his Kenyan identity, he feels for his muslim identity developed during adolescence in Indonesia, and he feels his angst against white and America....DeSouza went to great lengths to detail this in his book.
Its all about death to America....death to the great satan!
from a previous posting, see second last paragraph...
His associations with the MB? Over 20 years of understudy to Wright and Farrakhan ties him to the people and philosophy, thus his endorsement of the coup... These are the same guys who are shooting at our troops.
His drive against America is demonstrated in his unfettered support of the OIC driven “UN”.
All his acts are supportive of Islam. They will march on Israel, and then guess what? YOU and ME.
Follow it out...
“One of the prettiest sounds on earth” is the Muslim call to prayer at sunset.

All this brings on a interesting question... how can America have any struggle against Islam, or protect herself with the most powerful muslim in the world sitting in the White House?
Be wary, wary aware ....and wary, wary afraid...get prepared for more creeping sharia...more than what is coming out of the White House today
I’ve always thought that, too. I think he zipped past Socialism pretty quickly and went right into Marxism.
He is beyond that. Right now he is working for the Caliphate consolidating Islamic gains and arming Alqaeda and shelling Gadaffi.
History will look back on his seditious and treasonous behavior and wonder ... Why did they not impeach him????
This ME thing? Designed to wipe Israel off the map. Guess what? YOU AND ME are next!
Obama used America to consolidate their positions....
Obama is not a stalinist, not today. He is a traitor, a treasonous, seditious and EVIL man. Many, biblical many, Americans will pay for his actions.
You are exactly correct. Got stuck on the premise of the question and failed remember the larger picture.
He is indeed arming and abetting our enemies. Enabling the global Caliphate. And is actively trying to destroy the USA to make it the Islamic States of America.
There are no Socialists -- only Communists who aren't done yet.
COMMUNISM is the government control of a nation's means of production. It also necessarily entails the elimination of private property.
Socialism IS the redistribution of wealth as a prelude to the prohibition of private property, and consolidation of the means of production under the State -- as well as the means to achieve these ends. Socialism is a process. It is never intended to be a steady, or permanent socio-economic system, as all of the wealth is inevitably redistributed ... and then, you have COMMUNISM. Socialism is the path, not the destination.
Bingo.
Zer0 is a Fabian Socialist who will take us on a short walk to Communism. All aboard the Mother Ship at the end of the Santa Monica Pier.
