One week before the presidential election, a Congressional committee released Obama administration emails that showed a pattern of political pressure from President Barack Obama and others in his administration. The emails indicate favoritism toward Democrat politicians and donors in the awarding of federal energy loans.
The mainstream media chose not to report on the emails, even though just days before their release, Obama had flatly stated in an interview that politics played no part in awarding the loans.
In the old days of hard-nosed journalism, i.e., before the Age of Obama, if the president was caught lying about his involvement in a government payola scandal, it would have been front page news and led the evening newscasts of the broadcast networks.
Not anymore.
Even with the release of an email in which an official says what, in a different media era, would become a catch phrase for administration corruption: Whats a billion, anyhow?
Even with the release of emails showing President Obama personally involved in awarding loans.
Even with the release of emails explicitly stating loans were given to help Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid win his reelection bid in Nevada in 2010.
Even with emails showing Obama donors got help from Vice President Biden in securing loans.
Even with all that and an election on the line, there was no coverage from the mainstream media.

Media?......
bflr
So what? It appears that the highest level of government corruption and lawlessness is acceptable to the electorate.
They voted for more of the same. Fools, morons and idiots.
Maybe if Big Journalism didn’t join the cover up of Obama’s past or cover up the natural born citizen issue, maybe then they could complain about the Obama media.
Most don't know anything of it. Spread emails to your contact list.

A bit late now, I would say. The Congress does not have the fortitude or motivation to go after the REAL problem.
You mean?.......you mean?.......Obama isn’t really an environmentalist or a socialist? He’s just a dirty little money-grubbing Democrat grifter out to use taxpayer money to enrich himself and his Democrat buddies? Why, that would mean he wants people to think he’s a good liberal while he’s just a thief. He would keep the Republicans tied up in knots worrying that he wants everyone to wear red shirts while he’s stealing. He would do just enough for the liberals to distract them while he’s picking their pocket. Why, that would be the greatest con job in the history of our country. Well, except for the grifter Clintons.
To the Democrats - “Free stuff and we’ll take care of you!”
To the Republicans - “Beware! We’re socialists. Better build a fort!”
To each other - “Can you believe how easy it is to steal from these dummies?”
Media is owned the only thing different from the U.S. and Mexico is the name,and that may change soon.
In todays use of social media and if the networks got those emails, couldn’t we find a way to get and spread them ourselves? Why do we always need a network to release the news? Freerepublic is a respected website. Cannot we start releasing the truth? Why must it always have an NBC CBS ABC after the story. Brietbart is doing this.
Bump
Who cares? Corrupt is the new normal.. Get with it.. or get left behind.. don’t worry about the tab.. Your kidz will pick it up.. after they get back from dumpster diving for food. ;-]
Besides, the media is proud of how it always wins.. the more you kvetch, the more empowered they feeeel and the harder they have to deny their own complicity in the tidal waves of extortion, fraud, graft and corruption that have ensnared this big gubamint we lovingly call Big Sis.. or is it unnamed gender / parent?
Beware of the Celebrity Corporate Media Big Gubamint Complex.. it’s a doozie!
