The Media Censorship That Put Barack Obama Back in the White House
Newsbusters ^

Posted on 07/23/2013 12:10:00 PM PDT by DBCJR

...Network evening news viewers in 2012 never once heard the embarrassing prediction by Obama’s economic team that passage of the $787 billion “stimulus” would halt the rise of unemployment at 8%. (In reality, the jobless rate stayed above that mark for 44 months, the worst economic performance since the Great Depression.)

There was just a single network mention last year (on ABC) of Obama’s broken promise of cutting the federal budget deficit “by half by the end of my first term in office.” Reporters on CBS and NBC never once brought up this inconvenient truth. All three evening newscasts buried official statistics showing record numbers of Americans depending on government handouts for food, and rising poverty more than two years after Team Obama claimed the economy was supposedly recovering.

In all of 2012, the network evening newscasts devoted only 61 seconds to talking about how ObamaCare’s mandates, regulations and new taxes would hurt small businesses.

Evening newscasts never mentioned official CBO reports showing ObamaCare would cost up to 6 million workers their health insurance, belying President Obama’s promise that “if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.”

16 days, the network evening news shows refused to report unprecedented HHS regulations that would violate the conscience of religious organizations by insisting they provide free contraception, including abortion-inducing drugs.

After President Obama unilaterally declared a “compromise” on religious freedom, the networks acted as if all was solved, with ABC and NBC ignoring a massive lawsuit against the administration to overturn the rules (CBS gave just 19 seconds).

The networks buried news of how Obama squandered more than $500 billion of taxpayer money in loans to the solar company Solyndra, whose biggest investor was a major Obama campaign donor and fundraiser.

I ask people who support our president and his policies several fast answer questions just for fun.

What's 8% of 250,000,000?

Name five of nine supreme court justices?

What is a bill of attainder?

I can’t just blame the liberal media. The Republican party failed because it had people with mush for principles challenging Obama. A recipe for diaster that.

If you want to know what is going on in the US read the foreign press. Even the Russian press is more truthful.

Hard for me as a Catholic to blame the media when I did not see my own Church putting up much of a struggle.

“If you go to our parish website you will find a link to a video”...yadda yadda. Noting decisive from the pulpit like....oh, I dunno.....IT’S A MORTAL SIN TO VOTE TO RE-ELECT THIS MAN??

It's not just the liberal media at fault. Liberals are collectively both stupid and mentally ill. What kind of people would knowingly torture an unborn child to death and call it "freedom of choice" except mentally ill? What kind of people would applaud the faggot lifestyle other than stupid?

America is in the final days of the Roman Empire. I'd say, about the time of Caligula's reign.

The liberal media are simply capitalizing off the insanity.

Churches are way behind the curve on politics

It is called ‘projection’ - a pyschological medical term

It means you tend to think others are exactly like yourself

If you are a liar, you tend to think everyone else is a liar

If you are a nice person who goes to church you ten to think other people are nice church-goers

So that is why good people in churches are last to realize the evil that is growing in the US government

0 was a complete fabrication. The media told the people only a few selected facts and lies and misled them into electing the second openly marxist president. (Carter was #1)

And don't forget that it was "The National Enquirer" that broke the story on Edwards. MSM wanted nothing to do with it while he was the favorite, but once it was out, they jumped on the story.

Well, I go to church every week and I can see the advancing evil. Does that make me a bad churchgoer?
