Media Sends Dangerous Message Giving Obama Pass On Libya Cover Up
Big Journalism ^ | October 2, 2012 | John Nolte

For just a moment, let's forget politics; let's forget about the election and let's forget Republican vs. Democrat. Instead, let's talk about what's healthy for our democracy.

During the Bush administration the media was most certainly biased and most certainly over-hyped anything little thing they felt might hurt Bush -- no question about it. But during the Bush-era, I was at least able to relax safe in the knowledge that the White House was being closely watched and scrutinized. There was a very real and healthy benefit found in the media's zeal to bring Bush down.

But the message the media is sending now is just the opposite: The media's telling powerful Democrats, including a sitting president, that when politics are on the line, you can pretty much do whatever you please. Lie to us, betray us, and then cover it all up -- no problem because we want to get you over the finish line.

This isn't media bias, it's something much more sinister. It's being accessories after-the-fact; willing co-conspirators in a cover up. And the message it sends is what's most troubling because if the powerful in either party can ever count on the fact -- that for whatever reason -- the watchdogs are willing to look away, there's no telling where it might lead.

Once again some not in the region make the desision not to give help when help is asked for. But we will send billions of dollars to help other causes and countries. Washington has lost touch with most everything these days!!!!

This is not my comment. Was reading and found this comment on target.

We’re in big big trouble as a country.

Too many of our institutions are rotten to the core.

If Zero is reelected, the ruin will be just about complete.

What the media is doing is much worse than just being biased. They are silencing criticism to deflect any wrong doing by Obama. Those who initiate a cover up can be convicted of a crime. The media can be sued if ANYONE FROM THE OBAMA REGIME is convicted in GhaziGate. The liberal media can and WILL be held responsible when the truth comes out.

Obama is a liar. The media thinks everyone already knows that. And, most people do know that.

In 2008 they didn’t want us to know Who he was.

In 2012 they don’t want to show what he is.
