CBS “objective” “reporter” to Jay Carney: “WE got nothing” in this debt deal
And to think that there are some people who question the MSM’s ability to impartially do their jobs! From Commentary:
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was clearly in an upbeat mood during today’s press briefing. Many of the reporters in the room, however, were not feeling the love.
Specifically, CBS’s Norah O’Donnell peppered Carney with terse, accusatory questions about the lack of tax revenue (read: tax increases) in the debt ceiling deal. O’Donnell complained about how many GOP demands were met by the deal, and then said to Carney: “You have Democrats saying you gave them everything they wanted and we got nothing.” [Second update: I've added the words "you have Democrats saying..." from the transcript since this item was first published.] That “we” is very telling. It was a tense moment in the room, and O’Donnell seemed to give voice to frustrated liberals who feel the deal gave significantly more to Republicans than Democrats, and included no tax increases–something President Obama had demanded be included for most of the negotiations.
“We”? Not “liberals” or “progressives” or even “Democrats”, mind you…it’s “we”. As if she herself were personally wronged by the debt deal!
For her defenders on the left and in the MSM (pardon the redundancy), Ace has a retort:
I’d make three points: First, she’s got some emotion invested in this question. You can hear the frustration in her voice. I don’t think she’s a talented woman, so I don’t think she’s just conjuring up some channeled dramatic pitch here.
Second, it is telling, to me, how solicitous she is of the progressive caucus’ concerns. Throughout this entire debt deal, I have heard again and again how Republicans’ concerns are either illegitimate or possibly borderline, arguably legitimate but will simply have to be put aside for the good of the country; but note that when it comes to a progressive whine about tax increases, she’s on board in trumpeting that complaint.
Because that complaint, you see, is objectively superior to the conservatives’ complaint. It must be, because no objective reporter would otherwise behave as if it has been objectively determined that one side is objectively right and one side is objectively wrong.
Third, and this really is just a variation of the last one, but it’s important: Throughout this we have heard the MFM scream at the tops of their lungs that conservatives must compromise their principles away, and be less willing to fight for their agenda, because compromise trumps conservative values.
But what’s Norah O’Donnell’s implication here? Liberals and liberals alone should have fought harder for their agenda.
I thought fighting for principles was bad, no? It turns out I’ve missed yet another nuance.
Nope…no liberal media bias!
NBC mouthpieces: Can you believe these insipid Tea Party freshmen, not allowing themselves to be bought like every other decent politician would do?
From Red State:
H/T Ace: Courtesy of Brian Williams and Andrea Mitchell at NBC –
W Andrea, you’ve seen ‘em come and seen ‘em go. This has hardly been a profile in courage. Have you ever seen anything like this?M … Now its stalemate, its gridlock. And I’ve never seen anything where there has been so little leadership and where people are angry, disgusted and, I think, really rebellious out there. People are wanting change and they don’t know how to get it.
W And a new dynamic, Andrea, in Washington – at least in the time you and I have been watching things. Some members have come to town and they don’t care if they get re-elected. That is a whole new dynamic. They are here for a single issue and are willing to go down in flames at the polls if they achieve it or don’t.
M There has always been anger and animus in among leaders and among the followers – the rank and file, the caucus. But these new members really are willing to tear the place down. And they not only don’t care whether or not are re-elected – they don’t want pork (laughs). There are no inducements to get them to follow the speaker or the other leaders. So they don’t want the traditional methods of buying loyalty here and that was a reform that now has changed the dynamic.
W Alright, Andrea Mitchell from our Washington newsroom. Wish there was better news to report to folks especially about our era in Govt.
Oh this is rich. The MSM is moaning about how Tea Party congressmen are willing to die on a hill for their convictions. “Getting re-elected? Pffffft. My country matters more to me than getting re-elected.”
Let that sink in for a second. Two NBC reporters are dismayed that freshmen Republican legislators who ran on a platform of curbing spending (which includes curbing pork) and not doing “business as usual” in DC are…well, are doing exactly what they said they would do! “I don’t care about pork or committee chairs, and if it costs me re-election, so be it. I care about my country, not my political career!” And NBC finds that sentiment lamentable?
Nope…no liberal media bias!
Muslim soldier, hailed by CNN, who went AWOL for refusing deployment to Afghanistan arrested in Fort Hood for trying to make explosives
Boy, CNN sure does know how to pick ‘em, right?
Last year, CNN reported on a Muslim soldier serving in our military who refused to be deployed to Afghanistan due to his Muslim upbringing. CNN gave this guy the full Lewinsky treatment, gushing over his alleged “bravery” and humanity for not wanting to kill people.
Yeah, about that “not wanting to kill people” part…
Police in Central Texas have caught an AWOL Muslim soldier from Fort Campbell, Ky., at a motel in the city near Fort Hood after he asked how to build explosives at a gun store.
A law enforcement official told CBS News that Pfc. Naser Abdo’s questions about explosives and how to build them made the gun store employee suspicious. When police questioned Abdo at his motel, he made references to a plan to kill or injure people, the official said.
On top of that, the goathumper is a pedophile. Again, kudos to CNN for featuring the savory types amongst us.
If Islamonuts like this guy don’t kill us, political correctness will.
Exit question: Did this jihadist nutbar not stop and ask himself “You know, I wonder if it might not be a good idea to be a Muslim sniffing around a TX gun store for info on how to blow stuff up?” Seriously, Mohammed…Texas?
Reporter quits Politico to go work for Democrats
Isn’t that like leaving your job as a fireman in order to begin your new job as a firefighter? Not much of a distinction.
Anywho, the deets (as those crazy kids on the street call it):
A Politico reporter who often penned stories about Sarah Palin and other Republicans has quit journalism to work with the Democratic Party in Arizona, sources tell The Daily Caller.
That reporter, Andy Barr, has covered national politics for the publication since 2008. Barr leaving to help elect Democrats will likely fan the flames of critics who say Politico has a liberal bias.
Why, that’s just crazy talk! Continuing:
Barr is not the first Politico reporter to leave for a Democratic gig. Congressional reporter Jonathan Allen left Politico in 2009 to work as an aide to Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, a Florida Democrat, but he returned to Politico in 2010.
Politico’s editor-in-chief, John Harris, responded to questions about Barr’s departure, writing in an email that the website’s management does not “worry about someone’s personal ideology so long as it is understood that their responsibilities at POLITICO mean leaving personal views at the door.”
Yeah…”leaving personal views at the door”.
This was a question that popped into my head, as I was reading the article. Great minds think alike, I see:
But have any left Politico to work for a Republican? “I don’t know of any, but haven’t made any effort to keep track of where folks land,” Harris said.
But hey, it’s not like reporters and MSM figures are quitting their jobs to go work for Democrats…right?
Nope…no liberal media bias!
MSNBC’s Brewer to Republican Congressman: Do you have a degree in economics or something? Republican Congressman: Um…yeah, I do, plus two other degrees.
Both of Contessa Brewer’s viewers were appalled. Details:
When Rep. Mo Brooks disagrees with MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer, she sarcastically asks: “Do you have a degree in economics.” He replies: “Uh, yes, ma’am, I do. Highest honors.”
Heh. 
Time: You conservatives don’t understand the Constitution the way we brilliant liberals do. Conservative bloggers: Dude, you made 13 factual errors in your claims!
This is pure comedy gold!
See, Time wants you to know that liberals like them are totally educated when it comes to the Constitution. They’re so brilliant that they…commit at least thirteen verifiable errors in fact in their recent article, cleverly entitled “One Document, Under Seige“.
If the Constitution is “under seige”, it’s from the constitutional illiterates and lazy morons at Time.
You must read this blog post, which does an awesomely McAwesome job taking down the leftists at Time. Seriously, read it. Keep in mind, we’re not talking errors of interpretation, such as whether the Second Amendment confers an individual right to bear arms. We’re talking stuff like this:
False Claim #2: The Constitution is not law.
The relevant passage:
Originalists contend that the Constitution has a clear, fixed meaning. But the framers argued vehemently about its meaning. For them, it was a set of principles, not a code of laws. A code of laws says you have to stop at the red light; a constitution has broad principles that are unchanging but that must accommodate each new generation and circumstance.
(emphasis added)
Proof that he is wrong: Again, the Constitution itself contradicts this claim. Article VI, Paragraph 2:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land[.]
And of course in my long fisking piece, I cite several passages from Marbury v. Madison that is on point as well, but the Constitution is enough.
Time claims that the law of the land isn’t The Law of the Land!
And this:
False Claim #3: The Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment emancipated the slaves.
The relevant passage:
In drafting the 14th Amendment, Congress was definitely not thinking about illegal immigration. At the time, the country needed a lot more immigrants, legal or otherwise. Congress was thinking more practically. It wanted to emancipate blacks and allow them to vote so that white Southern Democrats would not try to reverse the gains of the Civil War.
(emphasis added)
Proof that he is wrong: The amendment that emancipated the slaves was the thirteenth. (Duh.)
And notice for bonus points that he is conflating slaves and black people. Not all black people were slaves prior to the Civil War.
I guess all black people look alike to the pinkos at Time. And 13th, 14th…h3ll, it’s all the same, right?
The most egregious of these claims is Claim #1, which is that the Constitution doesn’t put any limits on the federal government. Read any single one of the Bill of Rights amendments, and you’ll see a ton of “Congress shall make no law…” and similar references…which are darned apparent of limits placed on the federal government to anyone with a cursory grasp of the English language.
We’ve always known that liberals don’t know a friggin’ thing about the Constitution, and they don’t care to, since they wipe their backsides with it on a daily basis. They quote it when they think it suits their needs, and as Time proves, they can’t even quote it correctly.
Feel free to dismiss leftists whenever they bring up the Constitution. Arguing with them about the Constitution is like arguing with a toddler about quantum physics: he doesn’t understand the words coming out of your mouth.
MSM still vetting Palin, not so much on Obama
This is a follow-up to my prior post about the MSM soliciting the left (i.e. the media’s constitutents) for help poring over Sarah Palin’s e-mails as governor of Alaska.
Check out this excellent column by Matt Welch. He perfectly illustrates the media’s deriliction of duty, specifically their witch-hunt of a two-year governor of the least-populated state in the union while ignoring all things actually newsworthy. Excerpts:
The New York Times responded with a rare burst of interactivity, inviting readers “to point out items of interest.” The Washington Post had video, a photo gallery, live updates, and headlines such as “Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s e-mails show a constant concern with how she is portrayed in the media, on matters big and small.”
Transparency advocates doubtlessly breathed a sigh of satisfaction that sunlight-disinfectant was being applied to a government figure. And people with any sense of political proportion were left with an additional thought: When is this journalistic scrutiny going to be applied to politicians who wield actual power?
For instance, one might nominate the president of the United States for such attention. On Saturday, June 4, in his weekly radio address, Barack Obama did what he has consistently done since taking the oath of office: fudged reality to make his policies sound better.
…
A president misleading the public on one of his most crucial policies at a time when Americans are increasingly anxious about the economy sounds kind of newsworthy, no? Well, don’t tell the editors of the New York Times — they were too busy nailing down this important story:“Palin Says She Didn’t Err on Paul Revere.”…
Did you know that a reported dozen armed agents kicked down a guy’s door at 6 a.m. this week in Stockton, California, and handcuffed him in his boxer shorts in front of his three bawling pre-teen kids — to execute a search warrant for the Department of Education involving suspected loan fraud by his allegedly estranged wife? You wouldn’t if you get your news from the Sacramento Bee, San Jose Mercury News, San Francisco Chronicle, or L.A. Times, California’s biggest newspapers.
But fear not! Now we know that “The ‘First Dude’ played a particularly influential role in the administration” of a short-term, small-state governor. The lessons for Michelle Obama, then, are clear: If you want the non-Amtrak media to give you attention, they’re going to need to hate your husband a little more. (Yeah, good luck with THAT happening! – CL)
Nope…no liberal media bias!
NYT, Washington comPost: We want the moonbatosphere to help us dig up dirt on Palin
Multiple layers of fact-checkers left-wing hacks at their disposal, my friends. From the Old Gray Hag:
On Friday, the State of Alaska will release more than 24,000 of Sarah Palin’s e-mails covering much of her tenure as governor of Alaska. Times reporters will be in Juneau, the state capital, to begin the process of reviewing the e-mails, which we will be posting on NYtimes.com starting on Friday afternoon.
We’re asking readers to help us identify interesting and newsworthy e-mails, people and events that we may want to highlight. Interested users can fill out a simple form to describe the nature of the e-mail, and provide a name and e-mail address so we’ll know who should get the credit. Join us here on Friday afternoon and into the weekend to participate.
And the comPost:
More than 24,000 e-mail messages sent to and from Sarah Palin during her tenure as Alaska’s governor will be released Friday. Join The Post in digging through them. We are looking for 100 organized and diligent readers who will work alongside Post reporters to analyze, contextualize, and research the e-mails. Think of it as spending some time in our newsroom.
Our hope is that working together, we can efficiently find interesting information and extract new stories that will lead to further investigation. We don’t know what we’ll find, but we want you to be ready and open for the challenge.
All this for a woman who hasn’t even tossed her hat in the 2012 ring?
Allah‘s got a fantastic idea:
Even so, crowdsourcing’s a smart, sleek information-gathering technique. Thanks to the Times and WaPo for legitimizing it for conservative media like Fox News, which will now happily put it to good use doing oppo research on the left.
And the left won’t utter a peep over this, since they just got green-lighted by the MSM to do their best to find something damning on Palin. Right?

It’s official: Weiner admits what the rest of the world already knew, that he is a perv who sent the photos
Babs Walters before the presser: Maybe he sent his weiner pic to his wife?
Weiner: Um…no. Not really, Babs.
Weiner calls a press conference to fess up, sort of. Before he comes out, though, Andrew Breitbart steals the stage to basically say “I told you leftards, didn’t I?”, “Hey, how does my #ss taste?”, and “When’s my apology coming? You know, for saying I made this crap up and framed him and stuff?”
Video clip at RCP. partial transcript of which follows:
“I want to hear the truth. I want to hear the truth from Congressman Weiner and I would like an apology for him being complicit in a blame-the-messenger strategy,” Andrew Breitbart said at a presser before Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) took the podium — at the same place.
“I am accused of being a hacker. He said nothing. He allowed for that to go. The minions perpetuated that false, maliciousness and he went on to CNN to attack me and I feel he was complicit. You can talk. The girl’s story, I believe, will be on “World News Tonight,” and she can talk to you more specifically. I have seen a lot of this Congressman’s body and he is in very good shape and it appears to be his body. So … okay, everything that I have said so far has come to be true.”
Big Andy B, flipping the bird to the left and the MSM (pardon the redundancy)! That has got to chap their backsides! Like McDonald’s commercials say: I’m loving it!
If you want to know just how low the MSM has truly, and I mean truly, descended, here’s the parting question shouted to Weinie the Perv as he was leaving the podium: “Were you fully erect, Congressman?” Wow. For the first time in a while, I don’t have any words to describe how I process that.
Weinie says he’s not resigning. Time will tell if he holds on to that, or if the NY Dems will draw his district such that he’s out of Congress.
CBS: It’s outrageous that a person who hasn’t declared her intentions to run for prez is ignoring us and endangering our reporters!
This was so obviously absurd that I had to wonder if this piece was another CBS forgery. Nope, it looks real:
Since Palin and her team won’t share where the potential candidate is headed, reporters and producers have little choice but to simply stay close to Palin’s bus. This has resulted in scenes of the Palin bus tooling down the highway followed by a caravan of 10 or 15 vehicles – including a massive CNN bus – all trying to make sure they don’t lose sight of the Palin bus.
It adds up to a dangerous situation, says CBS News Producer Ryan Corsaro.
“I just hope to God that one of these young producers with a camera whose bosses are making them follow Sarah Palin as a potential Republican candidate don’t get in a car crash, because this is dangerous,” he said.
Corsaro asked a member of Palin’s team if he thought it was dangerous to have reporters forced to chase her from stop to stop. “You’re the ones that are trailing us,” he replied.
Why, the nerve of Palin! How dare she not tell the MSM where she’s going! I mean, it’s newsworthy that a woman who hasn’t made any announcements or anything is…taking a road trip? Seriously, that passes for news?
As for the whining that following her convoy could be dangerous, I’ve got an idea. It’s a crazy one, granted, but hear me out on this:
Stop following the convoy!
Memo (unforged) to CBS: I just saved some lives at your organization with that piece of advice. You’re welcome.

CNN: Our poll shows that more Americans support a Medicare plan that doesn’t exist
A CNN poll of 1,007 adult Americans asks: ”From everything you have heard or read about the Republicans’ plan to change Medicare so far, do you favor or oppose it?”
The results: “58 percent of the public opposes the Republican plan on Medicare, with 35 percent saying they support the proposal.”
Interesting. As Tina Korbe points out:
Whoever crafted the CNN poll must not have minded misleading voters with questions that offered no real specifics. But Let Freedom Ring and the College Republican National Committee refuse to let President Obama — or CNN — off the hook.
“How can CNN possibly poll whether Americans prefer Obama’s or Ryan’s approach to Medicare when the president doesn’t have an approach?” said Alex Cortes, 22-year-old executive director of Let Freedom Ring. “Putting aside his moral obligation to save the program for our generation, he should present a plan at the very least so CNN can conduct an honest poll.”
At the very, very least.

MSM livid at Netanyahu’s remarks to Obama
Boy, that Fox News sure is biased, huh? What about NBC?
DAVID GREGORY: At the same time, what’s happening today, we want to take you live here in Washington, D.C., to the scene of AIPAC. This is the pro-Israel lobby, very powerful in the United States. The President will be speaking here, Andrea Mitchell, and this is on the heels of a rupture with Israel. The President said this week that any peace plan, a Palestinian state would have to go back to the borders of prior to the 1967 war. This was significant.
[ANDREA] MITCHELL: He did have language that said there would be land swaps to protect Israel’s security, but it was taken as a red flag by Netanyahu. And what happened then was that even if this was implicit in things that previous presidents had said, Netanyahu seized on it. Even before he got on the plane, he criticized the President, and in such a fashion! He lectured him in the Oval Office. And if you look at that picture that you have up there right now, it was a stone-faced Barack Obama and Netanyahu basically treating him like a school boy. People even who work for Netanyahu, some Israeli officials, told him later that he went too far. That it was, it was really rude and that there would be blowback to this.
At CBS?
BOB SCHIEFFER: And we’re back with the Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich. Mister Gingrich, the President made a big speech on the Middle East last week. What did you think of it?
NEWT GINGRICH: I think it is a disaster. I think it is extraordinarily dangerous. I think that it–defining the 1967 border would be an act of suicide for Israel. They are totally non-defensible. Ithink for the United States, you know– we don’t have moral equivalence here. You have Hamas which is a terrorist organization whose stated goal is the destruction of Israel. You have a democracy. Now the idea that somehow we’re supposed to be neutral between Hamas and Israel is fundamentally flawed. And I do not believe that we should have any pressure on Israel as long as Hamas’s policy is the destruction of Israel. And as long as missiles are being fired into Israel and terrorists are preparing to try to kill Israelis. And I think it is– a President who can’t control his own border probably shouldn’t lecture Israel about their border.
SCHIEFFER: I have to ask you though you’re using words like dangerous. I mean, the President was calling for peace. How- why – why can you characterize that as dangerous?
At ABC?
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: So you talked about no relationship. I mean, they have a frosty relationship at best, right, Jake?
JAKE TAPPER: It’s – there’s no love lost, I think it’s fair to say. And I also think it’s fair to say that when Bibi in the Oval Office did something I’ve never seen happen-
AMANPOUR: I was going to ask you-
TAPPER: -which is, which is this little history lesson on the Jewish people and suffering, that did not endear him further to the White House.
AMANPOUR: Were you, were you stunned by that? I mean, it did look like a public lecture.
At CNN?
SPITZER: Did Netanyahu blow it? Israel’s prime minister draws a line in the sand and Obama walks over it. If your best friend can’t tell you you’re wrong, who can?
MSDNCNBC?
MITCHELL: John Heilemann is National Affairs editor for New York Magazine and joins us from New York. So first of all, the angry reception that the President got, was that predictable? Whatever happened to politics ending at the water’s edge? (Right, because Mitchell and her ilk really adhered to that premise during the Bush years, right? – CL)
David Gregory: All kinds of prominent Israelis agree with Obama’s calls to 1967 borders…but I can’t name a single one of these people
When he’s not busy accusing Newt Gingrich of racism for using the racial epithet “food stamp” (I feel dirty just typing that), David Gregory likes to pass him time by publicly exposing himself as a leftist hack d0uchebag. From Newsbusters:
DAVID GREGORY, “MEET THE PRESS” HOST: I just want to make a point here. Joe, I disagree with you. This is not just the view of the White House in terms of what they think Israel ought to accept. This also reflects prominent views within Israel that this speech was actually good news for the Israeli government for some of the points that have already been laid out here.…
JOE SCARBOROUGH, HOST: Obviously, we talked about earlier, on the minds of a lot of people inside the White House and the state department is the U.N. vote coming up this fall, David, and this is seen as leverage obviously for that. We’ve talked about that. But you said this is also seen as good news for some in Israel. What major Israeli public figures have come out supporting the President’s speech?
GREGORY: Well, I (stammers), I don’t think there have been major public figures that have, but some of the commentary that’s coming out of (stammers) the commentary in the press there and others who are looking at the situation are, are recognizing that some of these factors diplomatically are actually positive for Netanyahu.
Well, there’s, um….I mean, there is uh…I almost forgot that guy, um…
Heh.
CNN reports on Arnie sex scandal incident every hour, except one
Which hour would than be? Oh, just the 8:00 hour, which just so happens to be…Eliot Spitzer’s show:
Every hour but one of CNN’s Tuesday evening news coverage featured at least a mention of former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s marital infidelity. Guess which anchor backed away from any mention of the scandal?
Schwarzenegger’s revelation of his fathering a child with a mistress was one of the day’s leading headlines, and merited a mention if not a segment on most every CNN news hour Tuesday. During its 5 p.m.-12 a.m. EDT coverage, CNN reported the story every hour except during the 8 p.m. EDT slot – the prime-time show In the Arena with Eliot Spitzer. Spitzer made no mention of the story.
Spitzer was embroiled in a scandal of his own just three years ago as governor of New York. A federal wiretap linked him to a high-end prostitution ring, and he resigned his office abruptly after the news was made public.
I’m sure it was merely an editorial oversight.
Nope…no liberal media bias hypocrisy!
David Gregory to Newt: Say, isn’t it racist to note that food stamp use has skyrocketed under Obama?
While I have been piling on Newt recently, and rightly so, this is one instance where I have to defend the big goof. From Meet the Press, hosted by hostile-to-conservatives (yet untouchably “objective”) David Gregory:
DAVID GREGORY, HOST: What, what about jobs? Jobless rate now at 9 percent. You gave a speech on Friday in Georgia, and you said the following about this president:
(Videotape)
NEWT GINGRICH: You want to be a country that creates food stamps, in which case frankly Obama’s is an enormous success. The most successful food stamp president in American history. Or do you want to be a country that creates paychecks?
(End videotape)
GREGORY: First of all, you gave a speech in Georgia with language a lot of people think could be coded racially-tinged language, calling the president, the first black president, a food stamp president.
Gingrich wasn’t having it:
GINGRICH: Oh, come on, David.
GREGORY: What did you mean? What was the point?
REP. GINGRICH: That’s, that’s bizarre. That–this kind of automatic reference to racism, this is the president of the United States. The president of the United States has to be held accountable. Now, the idea that–and what I said is factually true. Forty-seven million Americans are on food stamps. One out of every six Americans is on food stamps. And to hide behind the charge of racism? I have–I have never said anything about President Obama which is racist.
Numbers are racist. So are stats. And statistical numbers. And numerical statistics. Racist, all of them. And if you look at numbers, you’re a racist, too.
This has been the m.o. of the left and the MSM (pardon the redundancy) since the man-child announced he was running in 2007: any criticism of his policies or the havoc they have wreaked upon this country will automatically and reflexively be chalked up to racism.
That’s one of the many things I’ve always loathed about modern liberalism: for an ideology that fancies itself to be intellectually nuanced, its adherents sure are a bunch of emotional twits devoid of any real rational thought or critical thinking skills. Just like my blog’s subtitle says about liberalism: Why think when you can feel?
As for NBC and Gregory: nope…no liberal media bias!
Irony of the century: Bill Clinton wants a Ministry of Truth
Hey, guess which former president is now suddenly interested in the truth? Bubba, that’s who! And his newly found interest in pursuit of the truth is to be mainfested Big Brother style, like only a liberal Democrat can suggest with a straight face. Excerpt:
Bill Clinton doesn’t like all the misinformation and rumors floating on the Internet. And he thinks the United Nations or the U.S. government should create an agency to do something about it.
“It would be a legitimate thing to do,” Clinton said in an interview airing Friday on CNBC.
One wonders how this “agency” would have reacted to accusations of a sitting president diddling a portly intern while declaring to the world that it wasn’t true.
So exactly who does Bubba see as unbiased arbiters of all things factual?
“That is, it would be like, I don’t know, National Public Radio or BBC or something like that, except it would have to be really independent and they would not express opinions, and their mandate would be narrowly confined to identifying relevant factual errors” he said.
I should have issued a beverage warning before that. I’m cleaning Diet Pepsi off my monitor as I type this.
Bill Clinton, truth-seeker. Irony: it tastes great with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. Slurp-slurp-slurp-slurp-slurp!
AP: Obama’s approval rating now at 60%, and his rating on the economy now over 50%! Hmm? Our sampling? Yeah, don’t worry about that.
President Barack Obama’s approval rating has hit its highest point in two years — 60 percent — and more than half of Americans now say he deserves to be re-elected, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll taken after U.S. forces killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
In worrisome signs for Republicans, the president’s standing improved not just on foreign policy but also on the economy, and independent Americans — a key voting bloc in the November 2012 presidential election — caused the overall uptick in support by sliding back to Obama after fleeing for much of the past two years.
They don’t have a link back to their sampling in the story, so you actually have to go find it elsewhere (PDF link here). Once you do, though, it becomes pretty clear why the AP was in no mood to put the raw data link directly in the story. From Ed:
The Dem/Rep/Ind breakdown in this poll is 46/29/4, as AP assigned most of the leaners to the parties. That is a 17-point gap, more than twice what was seen in the 2008 actual popular vote that elected Obama. It only gets worse when independents are assigned properly. When taking out the leaners, the split becomes — I’m not kidding — 35/18/27. Oh, and another 20% “don’t know.” That’s significantly worse than the March poll, in which the proper D/R/I was 29/20/34, and far beyond their post-midterm sample of 31/28/26. It’s pretty easy to get Obama to 60% when Republicans are undersampled by almost half.
Nope…no liberal media bias!
Man of unknown religious affiliation tries to storm airplane cockpit screaming “Allahu Akbar!”
The passengers sat stunned as they watched a man walk quickly toward the front of American Airlines Flight 1561 as it was descending toward San Francisco. He was screaming and then began pounding on the cockpit door.
“I kept saying to myself: ‘What’s he doing? Does he have a bomb? Is he armed?’” passenger Angelina Marty said.
Within moments Sunday, a flight attendant tackled Rageh Almurisi. Authorities do not yet have a motive.
While authorities said that Almurisi, 28, of Vallejo, Calif., has no clear or known ties to terrorism, the incident underscored fears that extremists may try to mount attacks to retaliate for the death of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden last week.
Federal agents are investigating Almurisi’s background. He was carrying a Yemeni passport and a California identification card, authorities said.
…Marty, 35, recalled that she and other passengers on the plane were stunned when they saw Almurisi walking down the aisle. She said a woman in a row across from her who speaks Arabic translated that Almurisi said “God is Great!” in Arabic.
Andrew Wai, another passenger, told KGO-TV on Monday that the wife of one of the men who took Almurisi down later said Almurisi was yelling “Allahu Akbar.”
“There was no question in everybody’s mind that he was going to do something,” Marty said.
A male flight attendant tackled Almurisi, and other crew members and passengers, including a retired Secret Service agent and a retired San Mateo police officer, helped subdue him as he banged on the door, police said. The flight attendant put plastic handcuffs on him.
Missing from the story is any mention of Islam or a Muslim background. I’m probably bigoted just for making that observation. I will go flail myself now to appease the P.C. gods goddesses deities. The flight attendant and crew members who subdued the man will probably be investigated by Nappy Napolitano for their right-wing extremism any day now.
Let’s see: Yemeni passport; speaking in Arabic; shouting “Allahu Akbar”, words that normally proceed acts of jihadism; trying to commandeer an airplane. If only there were some common or connecting bond…
But wait! The sleuths at the AP have it figured out!
“He might have seriously mistaken the cockpit for the bathroom,” Almoraissi said. “He’s only been on three planes in his whole life.” Almurisi was taking classes in California to learn English but was not happy with his progress, his cousin said.
Oh. My. Word.
Ah, yes. I mean, normally when I’ve really got to pinch a loaf, I bolt for the john screaming “Praise Jesus!” Who among us hasn’t broken out into a chorus of “Amazing Grace” while our bowels rumbled? You know, if I had a nickel for every time I had to tap a kidney I yelled “God is awesome!”, I would…um…not even have a nickel.
Nope…no liberal media bias!
CNN and Democrats (but I repeat myself) turn bin Laden death into political attack on Bush
Well, that didn’t take long, now did it? From Radio Vice Online:
A magnificent mission of the four-door Navy SEALs, and it took plenty of guts on the part of this president to pull the trigger on this one. But it certainly didn’t take long for the left stream media to take a shot at President Bush. Make no mistake this is a great accomplishment for the young president. But let’s not forget the groundwork and intelligence was laid by the Bush administration. Still, CNN and Democratic Congressman Gary Ackerman couldn’t resist the moment. Video below the fold.
The first video is a clip from last night CNN coverage. Wolf Blitzer is interviewing former Bush administration official Fran Townsend. He gets everything off to a good start by rubbing Townsend’s nose in it. Nice job Wolf. Oh and about the 1 min. mark, notice a comment that bleeds into the on-air broadcast. I’ve listened to this about 10 times and it sure sounds like a CNN producer, who apparently doesn’t know his Mike is feeding into the production, seems to drop a nice expletive deleted on Ms. Townsend. You tell me. Either way, nice job CNN.
Video at the link.
You know, this is supposed to be great news for America…right? But I guess it’s to be expected. I mean, if Democrats don’t know how to act in mourning (see Paul Wellstone and Coretta Scott King funerals), then it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they don’t know how to act in celebration, either. Interesting, though, that the left is all about giving more props to Obama (who merely said “Yeah, go ahead” and didn’t vote “Present” for once) than the intel community and Navy SEALs who pulled this off.
Stephanopoulos, AP reporter lament gas price toll on Obama’s poll numbers
Consider this a follow-up to my post yesterday about the MSM embargo on stories linking ObaMao policies and skyrocketing gas prices.
The MSM is acknowledging the toll that gas prices are taking on normal America Obama’s poll numbers. George Stephanopoulos on GMA:
Good Morning America’s George Stephanopoulos on Monday described the country’s “gas gripes” over rising fuel costs, adding, “Soaring prices lead to new pain for the President as big oil gets ready to report record profits.” (MP3 audiohere.)
The former Democratic operative turned journalist tried to put the best spin on Barack Obama’s growing problems: “And, Jake, these gas prices are also knocking down President Obama’s poll numbers, which is why he’s out there nearly every day addressing this problem.”
The AP (note the headline, right out of the gate):
Costly gasoline clouds Obama re-election prospects
With gas prices climbing and little relief in sight, President Barack Obama is scrambling to get ahead of the latest potential obstacle to his re-election bid, even as Republicans are making plans to exploit the issue.
No one seems more aware of the electoral peril than Obama himself.
Got that? Our difficulty enduring unreasonable gas prices are dismissed by Snuffalupagus as mere “gripes”, and both Snuffy and the AP reporter think it’s unfair to link gas prices to Obamunist policies. There is still no mention in their discussions about permit moratoriums in the Gulf, or the refusal to open up oil shale lands or ANWR, or how the current prices are all part of ObaMao’s stated plan to “necessarily skyrocket” the cost of energy. Nope, just a bunch of “gas prices are high, and it’s unjustly hurting Obama!”
Nope…no liberal media bias!
Gas prices $1 higher than last year, MSM embargos connecting Obama policies to price surge
Imagine that.
The average price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline hit $3.86 on April 25, more than $1-a-gallon higher than a year earlier and less than 25 cents away from the record high price of gasoline set in July 2008.
In fact, per gallon prices are more than $2 higher than when Obama took office Jan. 20, 2009. Yet the president has been nearly exempt from criticism on the issue of rising prices, despite a six-month drilling moratorium and more regulatory hurdles for industry.
The Business & Media Institute found that out of the 280 oil price stories the network evening shows have aired since the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, only 1 percent (3 stories) mentioned Obama’s drilling ban or other anti-oil actions in connection with gasoline prices.
Nope…no liberal media bias!
MSM: You know, we might actually want to vet “greatest orator of modern time”
Newsbusters is all over this like Michael Moore on a pork chop platter:
HOWARD KURTZ, HOST: So is the press starting to sour on the stalemate in Libya?
Joining us now here in Washington, Roger Simon, chief political columnist for Politico; Dana Milbank, columnist for “The Washington Post,” and in San Francisco, Debra Saunders, a columnist for “The San Francisco Chronicle.”
Roger Simon, are the journalists and the anchors we just saw now aggressively challenging and acting openly skeptical about the Obama policy in Libya?
ROGER SIMON, CHIEF POLITICAL COLUMNIST, POLITICO: Yes, and that’s a good thing. We’re supposed to be openly skeptical.
The bloom isn’t entirely off the rose between Obama and the press (you don’t say? – CL), but reporters are starting to concentrate more than ever on what he says rather than how he says it. We will stipulate that he’s the greatest orator of modern times, but now we’re looking beyond that in every speech for what he’s actually telling us.”
Ho. Ly. Shiite.
To start with: “We will stipulate that he’s the greatest orator of modern times”? Um…no, we won’t.
Better than “Tear down this wall?” Better than “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?” Better than “A day that will live in infamy”? Better than “I have a dream”?
Yeah, I guess all of those pale in comparison to “I’ve now been to 57 states”, “spread the wealth around”, “ten thousand people died” (he was close…it was 12 people), “uh, um, er“, and a bazillion other nuggets of genius. With observations like “greatest orator of modern time”, we can be sure to expect hard-hitting, tough, bulldog-like journalism covering Oba-Mao over the next 18+ months!
“Greatest orator in modern time”? Really? Really?
Additionally: “We’re supposed to be openly skeptical”? “Now we’re looking beyond that in every speech for what he’s actually telling us”? Just now?
Well, I guess “better late than never” would apply. Actually, no, it wouldn’t.
See, it’s too late for the MSM to actually “concentrate more than ever on what he says rather than how he says it”. They did their leg-tingling best to get this socialist anti-American cretin elected, and now that he’s done his damage to this country? Yeah, now the MSM is kicking around the idea of vetting him…four years after he announced his bid for the presidency. H3ll, they spent more time in two months dumpster diving in Wasilla in 2008 for a candidate for second-in-command than they’ve ever spent reviewing the background of the Obamunist for first-in-command.
Nope…no liberal media bias!
Former CIA agent calls out CNN anchor for her Obama love…on the air!
I’m loving this! Video clip at Newsbusters (which, if you do nothing else, forward to the last part of the clip to see what he says and how she, in a huff, abruptly wraps up the interview). Partial transcript:
CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN ANCHOR: I think it’s very clear, Michael Scheuer, that you are no fan of this policy and this administration. I think calling Ambassador Rice crazed is certainly a significant charge.
SCHEUER: Well, I don’t know. I’ve just listened to her. You know, that’s only my impression.
And I have to say, this is not a Democratic problem, this is a Republican problem, too. Both parties love to intervene in other people’s business where there are no U.S. interests at stake and where we spend enormous amounts of money that when we’re nearly bankrupt. That doesn’t seem to be a wise practice of American statesmanship.
ROMANS: And that’s another story, to call the United States bankrupt. The United States is running huge deficits, yes, but the economy and this mission in Libya are two separate issues.
SCHEUER: They’re not separate issues, ma’am. You’re just carrying the water for Mr. Obama.
ROMANS: I’m certainly not carrying anyone’s water. And I will assure you of that. (Oh. Well, I guess her assurance settles THAT issue, doesn’t it? – CL)
Michael Scheuer, thank you so much for your time. You know, we had a very long exhaustive interview. You had plenty of time to give your point on that.
Heh.
I’m sure both of CNN’s viewers felt sorry for Romans. But nope…no liberal media bias!
NBC: We’re not reporting on GE avoiding all federal taxes, which is totally unrelated to the fact that GE is our parent company
Nothing to see here, move along:
It’s the kind of accountability journalism that makes readers raise an eyebrow, if it doesn’t raise their blood pressure first. General Electric Co., reported the New York Times last week, earned $14.2 billion in worldwide profits last year, including $5.1 billion in the United States — and paid exactly zero dollars in federal taxes.
The front-page story drew widespread commentary in newspapers and on many Web sites. ABC News and Fox News, among others, were all over it.
But the story was conspicuously absent from the reportage of one news organization: NBC.
During its Friday broadcast, “NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams” had no time to mention that America’s largest corporation had essentially avoided paying federal taxes in 2010. Or its Saturday, Sunday or Monday broadcasts, either.
Did NBC’s silence have anything to do with the fact that one of its parent companies is General Electric?
Of course not! Just a simple “editorial decision”, nothing more. Nope, there were bigger fish to fry:
But to others, NBC’s silence looks like something between a lapse and a coverup. The satirical “Daily Show” on Monday noted that “Nightly News” had time on Friday to squeeze in a story about the Oxford English Dictionary adding such terms as “OMG” and “muffin top,” but didn’t bother with the GE story.
Even Jon Stewart is cracking on NBC for this? Yeah, but even some erstwhile liberal groups have a problem with it (evil corporations, etc.):
Ignoring stories about its parent company’s activities is “part of a troubling pattern” for NBC News, said Peter Hart, a director at Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), a liberal media watchdog group that often documents instances of corporate interference in news. He cited a series of GE-related stories that NBC’s news division has underplayed over the years, from safety issues in GE-designed nuclear power plants to the dumping of hazardous chemicals into New York’s Hudson River by GE-owned plants.
What’s more, Hart notes, NBC News has covered corporate tax-avoidance stories before — that is, when they didn’t involve GE. All three networks’ news divisions, according to Hart, have become reliable sources of publicity for their parents’ other corporate interests, doing news stories about upcoming sporting events or new TV shows carried on their own networks.
This isn’t media bias. It’s media corruption.
Schumer accidentally telegraphs talking points on conference call with press and fellow Democrats
When he’s not busy working on stealing Republicans’ identity, Chuck the Schmuck likes to pass the time rehearsing his talking points with his fellow Senate Democrats…unaware that the phone call is not muted and reporters are picking up his marching orders. Details:
Moments before a conference call with reporters was scheduled to get underway on Tuesday morning, Charles E. Schumer of New York, the No. 3 Democrat in the Senate, apparently unaware that many of the reporters were already on the line, began to instruct his fellow senators on how to talk to reporters about the contentious budget process.
After thanking his colleagues — Barbara Boxer of California, Benjamin L. Cardin of Maryland, Thomas R. Carper of Delaware and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut — for doing the budget bidding for the Senate Democrats, who are facing off against the House Republicans over how to cut spending for the rest of the fiscal year, Mr. Schumer told them to portray John A. Boehner of Ohio, the speaker of the House, as painted into a box by the Tea Party, and to decry the spending cuts that he wants as extreme. “I always use the word extreme,” Mr. Schumer said. “That is what the caucus instructed me to use this week.”
A minute or two into the talking-points tutorial, though, someone apparently figured out that reporters were listening, and silence fell.
Heh. Schmucky robotically parrots the “caucus” talking points. Obviously, the Dems are laying the groundwork for a government shutdown, and these talking points are merely practice for their justification for a shutdown: “These extremely extreme extremists are responsible. Not just responsible, but extremely responsible!”
And right on cue, Babs Boxer seizes the opportunity to…well, to stick with the telegraphed message. Isn’t that like a pitcher telling the batter “I’m going to throw a fastball down the middle” and then actually doing it? She just pretended like no one had heard it!
Then the conference call began in earnest, with the Democrats right on message.
“We are urging Mr. Boehner to abandon the extreme right wing,” said Ms. Boxer, urging the House to compromise on the scale of spending cuts and to drop proposed amendments that would deny federal financing for Planned Parenthood and for government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency.
Those extremists! Why, they don’t want to federally subsidize PP’s baby slaughtering or child sex trafficking! The nerve!
In the end, I don’t think this hurts Schmucky that much. After all, we’re talking reporters here…AKA Democrat constituents.
MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell helpfully defines “Obama Doctrine”
Mitchell, referred to by Ace as the “executive fellatrix”, gives us some insight as to why Obama attacking Libya without Congressional approval is way different (and more proper) than Bush attacking Iraq with Congressional approval.
You know who doesn’t define the Obama Doctrine? The Obama administration. Nope, they allow this fellatrix to “report” that for them.
Anywho, here’s her summary, along with my notes:
1. “When you have a catastrophe you can avert”. That pretty much exists anywhere at any time, right?
2. “The benefits outweigh the costs”. That pretty much governs every decision a human makes, no? Duh.
3. “You have an international or multilateral support”. You know what she means, right? She means “the French support it.” Because to the left and the MSM (pardon the redundancy), the Frogs are the object of their affection. After all, Bush had international and multilateral support in Iraq, except the Frogs were against it (probably a good thing, since it would have been embarrassing to see them surrendering to an Australian camera crew in Fallujah, wouldn’t it?). But hey, now the Frogs are helping in Libya, so it’s all good, right?
4) “Go for it.”
Apparently, if the first three conditions are met, then the president can “go for it” without Congressional approval, the Constitution be damned. Because the French are on board. So we’re good, thanks.
As for Mitchell: nope, no liberal media bias!
Liberal blogger wonders: Why does the MSM ignore death threats against Wisconsin Republicans, and why does the rest of the left condone those threats?
I am about to break one of my own rules here by linking to the moonbat blog Huffington Post. I never link to the moonbat blogs, because they can generate their own traffic by trolling the dark, depraved cellars of mankind all by themselves. That said, this time merits an exception. Plus, it’s my blog, so I get to both make and break the rules here.
Undoubtedly, this guy will now be threatened for breaking Commandment #1 among the left: “Thou shalt not stray from the leftist plantation, either in philosophy or in conduct, lest ye be persecuted.” You must, must read the guy’s column! Here’s an excerpt:
Why isn’t the mainstream media talking about the death threats against Republican politicians in Wisconsin?
Try to set aside whatever biases or preconceptions you might have for a moment and ask yourself why death threats against politicians aren’t considered national news, especially in the wake of the all too fresh shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and other bystanders. And there hasn’t just been one death threat, but a number of them.
[Examples here. Like I said, go read the column! - CL]
On the other hand, if you read conservative blogs or listen to conservative media, you know all about these threats because people like Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh and websites like Newsbusters and BigJournalism have not only been talking about the death threats for days now but they’ve been talking about the mainstream and liberal media ignoring the threats for days.
Ignoring the story of these threats is deeply, fundamentally wrong. It’s bad, biased journalism that will lead to no possible good outcome and progressives should be leading the charge against it.
Just before writing this article, I did a Google search and it’s stunning to find out that the right wing media really isn’t exaggerating — proven death threats against politicians are being ignored by the supposedly honest media. If you’ve never agreed with a single thing that Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly et al have said about anything, you can’t in any good conscience say that they don’t have a point here. Death threats are wrong and if a story like Wisconsin is national news for days, then so are death threats.
He then goes on to make the case against public sector unions’ ability to collectively bargain by quoting the golden calf of the left: FDR! Ouch! He outlines the “bile and invective” he got from the left for doing this, which leads him to wonder:
Is this really what liberalism has come to in 2011? (Welcome to Realityville, pal. Liberal population here: 1. You’re all alone, dude. – CL)
Since working with Breitbart, my position on political issues hasn’t changed but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m deeply disappointed by the virulent, lockstep attitude I see on the left. My experience in the last few months tells me what I would not have believed possible; on any number of issues (including Pigford, by the way) I’ve seen liberals act much nastier and with less factual honesty than the conservatives… and this includes on issues where I disagree with conservatives.
Burying the death threat story is a clear example of intellectual dishonesty and journalistic bias.
I doubt that he and I agree on very much of anything. However, he is 100% dead on with this. The MSM is a friggin’ joke for its embargo of these threats, and the left is losing what shards of credibility they have remaining (which, if recent elections are any indicator, is damning). Kudos to one liberal for having the stones to say “Guys, can’t we for once be intellectually honest?”, even if his brethren answer with a resounding ”Not a chance, pal!”
Media embargo of death threats against Wisconsin Republicans
Newsbusters is all over it. Excerpt:
…Not taking this seriously were ABC, CBS, MSNBC, NBC, and NPR. LexisNexis and closed-caption dump searches of “Wisconsin and ‘death threat’” produced zero results for these so-called news outlets throughout the month of March.
Zero.
When you compare this to the hysterical coverage of last year’s Tea Party rallies and town hall protests, where conservatives were regularly depicted as either hostile or fomenting violence, one has to wonder how actual death threats against sitting politicians would not be considered newsworthy.
This seems particularly curious after all the talk about hostile rhetoric immediately following the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) in January.
Now, less than two months later, actual death threats against politicians are being investigated in Wisconsin, and five major news outlets are boycotting the story.
Remember when the MSM linked (but didn’t really link, wink wink nudge nudge) the Tea Party and talk radio to the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords (D-AZ)? Despite a total lack of any evidence or threats whatsoever, the left and the MSM (pardon the redundancy) blamed the right and bemoaned the alleged “lack of civility” and the “tone” of political discourse.
So how does the MSM report actual threats against Republican politicians? Crickets…chirping…
Nope…no liberal media bias!
German shooter who killed US service members screamed “Allahu Akbar”; ABC wonders what his motivation may have been
Tragedy #1: Brave service members lost their lives to this Muslim nutjob.
Tragedy #2: The MSM can’t quite figure out what might have been the raison d’etre behind the attack.
Hmmmm…what could it be?
Sources told ABC News that the victims were on a bus at Frankfurt airport. The bus was marked United States Air Force and was carrying 13 or 14 people, plus the driver. U.S. intelligence is trying to determine whether the shooting occurred while the gunman was on the bus or while he was trying to board the bus.
When he opened fire, the gunman, identified as a long-term resident of Germany, shouted “Allahu Akbar,” according to sources. He fired nine times, killling two and critically wounding two others before the gun jammed and he was subdued by other passengers. While being wrestled into submission, the suspect shouted either “Jihad Jihad” or “Allahu Akbar,” sources said.
Omitted from the entire article are any references to “Islam” or “Muslim” at all. Because “Allahu Akbar” and “Jihad” are phrases that any kid on the street in Frankfurt can be heard uttering, right?
Nope…no liberal media bias!
Oh, for Heaven’s sake! Middle East and Arab revolutions result from…global “warming”
No, this isn’t satire, though it darned well should be. It’s sadder when you realize that this jabroni is 100% serious.
Business leaders are equally frank. “The fact is that climate around the world is changing,” says Sunny Verghese, chief executive officer at Olam International, among the world’s three biggest suppliers of rice and cotton. “That will cause massive disruptions.”
Civilization has faced down pandemics and world wars — and has emerged stronger for having met the test. The current series of droughts and floods are not simply wreaking havoc on food supplies. They’re harbingers of life in a hotter (except it’s not. CL) and more chaotic climate. Could hunger, and the threat to power that accompanies it, be what finally forces political leaders to act?
Point to ponder: If we want all dictatorial weirdbeards out of power in the Arab world, shouldn’t we ALL be rushing out to buy Hummers right now?
Actually, I would argue that if there is any correlation to global “warming” and starving revolutionaries, it is that the environuts that have perpetuated this junk science fraud known as global “warming” (or “climate change”, when it’s friggin’ freezing outside) are to blame. They have convinced corn producers to grow corn for fuel instead of for food. As a result, corn is going into our fuel tanks instead of our guts, and thus, food is seeing a supply pinch that it shouldn’t be seeing.
The world is starving so we can try to address a problem that isn’t even real, and in turn, we create food shortage problems that are very real indeed. Thanks, you greenie whackadoodles.
