Mainstream Media Asks: 'How Do We Protect Barack Obama Today?'

When I asked her for an example, she replied, “Every morning, we hold a meeting about how to build that evening’s broadcast. We’ve been doing this for decades. Everybody talks about which stories we’re going to air, what the line-up looks like, and which reporters we’ll have live in the field and which ones will be filing taped pieces. In the past, the left-wing bias was always left unspoken. People just ‘got it,’ because they all thought the same.

“Once Obama pulled ahead of Hillary and certainly once he became president,” she said, “the bias came out of the closet. Now, every morning when we meet to discuss that night’s show, they literally say — out loud — ‘How do we protect Barack Obama today?’”

I made her repeat that last bit: that the team assembling a national newscast for one of the Big Three television networks says — out loud, every day — “How do we protect Barack Obama today?”

There it was, real proof of what we suspected from years of evidence: that the leftist agenda was real, tangible and no longer disguised. And it had morphed from simple bias to dangerous advocacy.

Even after this election, the Mainstream Media still asks itself "How do we protect Barak Obama" and the Progressive/Liberal Agenda.

Why should any one be “SHOCKED” on the way the Lame Stream Media has gone out of their way to “PROTECT and PROMOTE” this very “EVIL” man to continue on his merry way to “CHANGE” America? We’ve known this from the beginning. They never “VETTED” OBAMA, the way they “VETTED” Sarah Palin. All we’ve heard from these people, was “HOW GREAT & WONDERFUL”, this KENYAN was. And this “HERO WORSHIP” hasn’t come to an end. I’m quite sure that even after his term has finally ended, there will still be a movement to build a monument to this “FRAUD & FAKER”.

It is time for Conservatives to aggressively expose “Journalism” and “Journalistas” for who and what they are. Put them on the defensive.

A hard hitting documentary would be a good way to start.

I don't think we can over estimated how cowardly republicans modify their rhetoric and actions based on an understanding of the media attention and spin they will receive.

Dems can get away with murder and know it will not be reported. If I pub doesn't flush every time, it's sure to be part of the evening news accusing him of creating a biological weapons lab in his home.

I am sick of these commie journalists, protected by the constitution, acting as snipers in defensive of everything destructive to America.

I'll bet they are more vulnerable then people think. Let's start shooting back!

In the end .. they are only hurting themselves and they will eventually all lose their jobs because of an unwillingness to actually cover the news.

There are still people who think the mainstream news media cares primarily about making money.

No they are supporting an Agenda.

Right now that is the Progressive/Liberal movement. But ultimately the aim is no less than socialism if they cannot get outright communism.

There is space available at Mt. Rushmore. The campaign will begin in Feb 2015.

If I had Billions...I would work to educate Low info voters about how corrupt, lazy and biased the LSM is.

How fun would it be to buy advertising on the News Shows that raise questions about Journalism and News Reporting, exposing their agendas and lack of “Fairness” and Objectivity.

They live by the Double Standard. The Liberal News Media are sitting ducks. We just have to aggressively attack the sanctimonious B******S

I have some trouble believing that quote. I know the MSM are biased, but they believe that they AREN’T biased, and such a blatant admission of bias would be a blow to their self-image as “serious” journalists.

If the quote is true, isn’t it “racist” to think that Obama needs to be “protected” by (mostly) white media honchos? Isn’t that kind of paternalistic, that they need to “protect” their boy?

The president likes to say that Islamic terrorists aren’t really muslims. MSM reporters aren’t really journalists; they are propagandists.

The old “Journolist” (sic) forum revealed online discussions from so-called journalists coordinating daily talking points and who would ask what questions at press conferences.
