Media Works To Suppress Obama 'Born in Kenya' Bio
Breitbart ^ | May 18, 2012 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 05/18/2012 7:40:02 PM PDT by Red Steel

While the internet buzzed with Breitbart News’ release of a booklet from President Obama’s literary agency circa 1991 describing him as being “born in Kenya,” the mainstream media still refuses to report the story, or plays defense for Obama.

Never mind that the agency used the “born in Kenya” biography until 2007. Never mind that authors who have worked with the agency state that the agency asks that authors pen their own biographies. Never mind that Obama has routinely padded his biographical details to appeal to particular audiences.

Nothing to see here.

Michael Shear, at the New York Times, was in full defense mode:

“Perhaps the darker side of politics is always close to the surface … the conservative Drudge Report Web site published a headline: “BORN IN KENYA,” based on a three-decade-old promotional booklet for a publisher that included an inaccurate biography of Mr. Obama. It stayed on the site for much of the afternoon. The headline linked to a report at Breitbart news, another conservative site, which suggests that the booklet represents a pattern in which Obama — or the people representing and supporting him — manipulate his public persona.’”

We presented a document. The Times calls that “the darker side of politics.” Absurd. And that was the Times’ only coverage of the story – dismissing Obama’s pattern of biographical manipulation without comment. All the news that’s not fit to print.

How about the Washington Post, the paper that assured us that Mitt Romney’s 50-year-old haircut incidents were news? It trotted out leftist stalwarts and Friends of Media Matters Greg Sargent and Erik Wemple to cover for Obama and his literary agency. Sargent scoffed, “rumor has it the whitey tape will break any minute now.” Wemple’s only comment: “Okay.”

Well, okay, then.

How about the Los Angeles Times,

I guess Michael Savage must not be on clear channel. I heard sim one night have a cordial conversation with Orly Taitz. This was on the order of a year ago.

He was interested, but noncommittal. I guess he has more balls than anyone else on commercial radio.

It seems to me there are several actions whereby the USSC could take, or could have taken action to verify his eligibility.

He was born on the wagon of a traveling show. His momma used to dance for the money they’d throw. Poppa he did would ever he could...

Look up a pic of FMD-—the resemblance to Obamuzzie is amazing. Look up a pic of BHO senior-—the resemblance to fudge is just as amazing. FMD dodged a bullet bigtime if he conned BHOS into taking the rap for pregnoiding Stanley Ann. Be fun to get the DNA readout on that combo?

Too bad you don’t get to make the rules, because I’d like that,too.

If wishes were fishes, we’d all have our bellies full.
