I think we have the winner in the "If a Republican or conservative had said it" media bias category this year, if not this decade.
In the book "Double Down" by liberal journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann (reviewed by Peter Hamby at the Washington Post on Friday), President Barack Obama, while discussing drone strikes in 2012, reportedly told aides that he's "really good at killing people." This would have been headline news three seconds after Hamby's review, and Hamby would have headlined it himself instead of casually mentioning it in Paragraph 11. A Google News search on an obvious search string ("really good at Killing people" obama; sorted by date) at 6:45 p.m. returns only 11 items, none of which are establishment press outlets. Michael Kelley at Business Insider, which did not show up among the search items returned, had some interesting thoughts on Obama's alleged remark Saturday evening (bolds are mine throughout this post; Update: important links relating to CIA practices which can only be considered barbaric are in the original):
Furthermore, the disturbing trend of the “double tap” — bombing the same place in quick succession and often hitting first responders — has become common practice.
For once Obama actually told the truth, he is good at killing people..his health care plan alone will kill thousands..and lets not forget all the murdered babies killed in abortion that he supports
Like those three homosexuals he murdered in Chicago. Or Bill Gwatney. Or Tubbs Jones.
It’s his breath, his deadly dog breath: silent but deadly.

Obama’s vast deadpool. Remember Hastings and his magically accelerating car?
Not just people, he’s killed the economy, faith in government, hope...
Why would we send a second bombing run in a 3 minutes later? Is it expected that other high-priority targets actually run INTO a blast zone? I know why terrorists do it — because they can kill innocents trying to help the victims.
And he said this BEFORE Obamacare even kicked in.
Obama is a mental case.
Good to see Obama is good at something anyway—just as long as he focuses on Terrorists and not reporters.
Bush would not have said this
No psychologically emotionally normal person serving as potus of the US would have said this
think about the psyche of any world leader who would say this, even as a li’l joke
