Palin: Media 'prostituting' themselves for Obama
Times 24/7 ^ | 8/10/2010 | Kevin Robillard

Weighing in on the controversial “cancer ad,” Sarah Palin is accusing members of the press of “prostituting” themselves by failing to point out alleged collaboration between President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign and a super PAC backing his reelection.

“Some of these reporters who know the truth about this situation because they were in the room, in the press conference, or teleconference room listening to this — I think you said it was back in May — and now they’re watching this ad play out from the super PAC, they know what happened, and I don’t know how they can sleep at night,” Palin said Thursday on Fox News’ “Hannity.”

“They’re basically prostituting themselves for a job, for interview, for access to the Obama administration and the campaign."

Most of the 'news' media is bankrupt both in character and money.

The press is no longer concerned in reporting the truth. As John Adams said: "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

I'd have to disagree. The media do not support Obama for money or whatever. They support him because they are Euro-socialists and Democrats like Obama are the closest thing they can get that in this country. If Obama became a conservative, they'd abandon him immediately.

Bernie Goldberg would concur. He says often that the bias is not deliberate, it's just ingrained. Reporters in the DBM (drive by media as Rush calls it) all share the same world view and they have no interaction with people who do not share it.

This quote is attributed to Pauline Kael, American film critic who wrote for The New Yorker magazine from 1968 to 1991:

"I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don't know. They're outside my ken. But sometimes when I'm in a theater I can feel them."

The press has never been about printing the truth. The press has always had and put forward an agenda.

The difference is merely a matter of degree. The bias is total at present. That is changing as the places to work diminish. The Huffington Post and Daily Beast and others have become refugee camps for fired and laid off journalists. They lack the wherewithall to prevail as before

The mainstrean media has placed Obama’s re-election ahead of their own credibility and integrity. They’re all in, and if he goes down, they go down. Works for me.
