~~Joke of the day ... ;)
IF they're Republican..
YES
I don’t think the Dems were “duped.” It was probably well known all along that this guy was an adulterer, fornicator and who knows what else. It’s ok to bash a Republican who is caught doing some misdeed. But for their own, the Dems turn a blind eye. Or they make excuses for them.
A FReeper said on another thread that we don’t have investigative journalism anymore, and that is so true. Part of it is due to budget cuts, but another part of it is that the mainstream media is so in bed with the liberal socialists, that it too will turn a blind eye to the sins of Democrats. Only when it becomes patently obvious that some misdeed is going down do they finally come out and do the tsk-tsk. Really, media doesn’t particularly care about the American public or about the future and well being of America in general. They pander to the socialists; that’s it.
If Katie the Kopmmie gets an award for a chopped and creatively editted hit piece interview with Sarah Palin, then the Enquirer MORE than deserves a Pulitzer for finally getting the poop out on a scoop that almost everyone BUT the MSM knew to be happening.
Yet they (the MSM) had no problems reporting an untrue story about John McCain, and his supported mistress. It’s amazing what a double standard that was.
Only the ones they don’t like.
....the same press dumpster diving at Palin’s house to find the dirt takes everything libs say at face value.
But it’s not the journalists fault?????
ROSE: I don’t know what Barack Obama’s worldview is.
BROKAW: No, I don’t, either.
ROSE: I don’t know how he really sees where China is.
BROKAW: We don’t know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.
ROSE: I don’t really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?
BROKAW: Yeah, it’s an interesting question.
ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches.
BROKAW: Two of them! I don’t know what books he’s read.
ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
BROKAW: There’s a lot about him we don’t know.
Edwards, first & foremost, was in love with himself.
Michael Beschloss. Isn't this the guy who effusively told Imus on air that Zero's IQ was off the charts only to have to sheepishly reply to Imus when pressed that he did not know what Zero's IQ was?
MSM rear guard action....
Forget the lack of press scrutiny. Obama wasn’t even scrutinized by his opponent in 2008. All McCain could say was what a great guy Obammie is and better not say nofin’ bad ‘bout ‘im.
The media vets GOP candidates thoroughly. The media only vets Dims they want to lose in the primary.
The good thing about this is it is an advantage to the GOP. The GOP has less worry about each presidential election fall in terms of major surprises about their candidate.
For example, no GOP candidate would have survived with the vast majority of his unit thinking he was not much of an officer in a short stint in Viet Nam. Heck no GOP candidate would have survived claiming to be in Cambodia under Nixon before Nixon took office.
That’s funny... I think I remember quite a few judges who claimed that Obama was qualified to be President because he was ‘vetted’ by the media.
Hmmm, maybe we can’t trust them when they are BIASED?
???
Not Democrats.
Freaking, duh.
On the other hand, the scumbags know where the Palin family buys its underwear.
More propaganda from ONLINE PROPAGANDISTS. Thanks for posting.
Of course they vet Pres. Candidates, if....
...they are R's.
Lemann is a liar.
Did he not notice the planeloads of "journalists " who were dispatched to Alaska by the Democrat newsrooms?
Gimme a break! They often know things but refuse to disclose if it's a RAT.
We have good evidence that the LA Slimes knew about Edwards and Rielle in December 2007. We had several reports posted here at FR that the Slimes had a whopper of a story on a major presidential candidate that it was "agonizing" over printing. We knew then and there that it was one of the RATS because any Republican story would have been gleefully printed as soon as practicable.
In 2008 the NY Slimes had the story of the Obambi campaign colluding with ACORN in violation of federal election laws. To her credit the reporter wanted to go ahead. At the last minute the brass killed the story. We've heard the reporter's message on the answering machine telling the ACORN person what happened. Very ugly.
