***UPDATED BELOW*** If you watch any of these news stations below, this might be considered your Benghazi-gate primer. How to simplify the complicated... Ambassador to Libya made multiple requests for more security in  Benghazi. Requests denied. Threats and attacks made. Requests for help still denied. For whatever reason, (quite possibly CIA held Libyans prisoners) Consulate was attacked. 4 Americans died. Obama and friends blamed a nothing video. (An out and out lie to the American people) We later learn that Obama and friends WATCHED as our Americans were under attack (in ... Read More

"I think we’re at the most dangerous time in our political history in terms of the balance of power in the role that the media plays in whether or not we maintain a free democracy or not.  You know, when I first started in politics – and for a long time before that – everyone on both sides, Democrats and Republicans, despised the press commonly, because they were SOBs to everybody.  Which is exactly what they should be. " ~Pat Caddell Pat ... Read More

When Liberals and their kind have no excuse for poor results to their ideologies, they play cards. You know, the race card and the sex card game. Here in the U.S., every time people disagree with an Obama policy, they cry "racism". It's ridiculous, forgetting very fast that many people VOTED for Obama. Oh, and by the way, he's half white, not sure why that gets left out all the time. In Australia, it's a little different. Their prime minister is a woman, ... Read More

Remember Egypt? I know it's a few countries ago of unrest and there has been a few since then. There has been one story from this event that hasn't made front page news and needs to be told. Lara Logan was brutally raped. The description of it I can't even repeat it. So that makes me wonder about our media and what makes it put things on the front page and what needs to be buried? I mean, the victim deserves ... Read More

Not as much anymore. “Most of you covered me. All of you voted for me,” Obama joked last year at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. Well that doesn't sound arrogant at all. But even then, only four months into his presidency, the joke fell flat. Now, a year later, with another correspondents’ dinner Saturday night likely to generate the familiar criticism of the press’s cozy relationship with power, the reality is even more at odds with the ... Read More

Seems it's the media's turn to be frustrated. Oh, but this has happened before. It's like the Clintonista regime all over again. The press used to easy access to the White House is finding yet another democratic Presidency hard to reach. Reporters are accusing the White House of stifling access to his oath re-do and giving Obama’s first interview as president to a multi-million dollar inauguration sponsor. Veteran CBS newsman Bill Plante was one of the most vocal critics, questioning the White House’s ... Read More

In these times of economic strife, businesses collapsing, unemloyment rising, and fighting two wars, can this country really justify a whopping $150 million dollar inauguration? Well, I guess to quote Obama, Yes we Can! But to me that is hardly the news story. In 2005, Bush took a beating in the media for his costly inauguration , and I sort of agreed with the immense amount being too much. With the cost more than doubling for Obama's, do you think he ... Read More

I should not have been surprised when seeing people interviewed, Obama supporters, that they had little or no knowledge of newsworthy items, high-ranking officials, or even which party was in control of Congress at this moment. Many interviewed seemed rather confused, an example being they took Saturday Night Live skits like Tina Fey's as something factual, and when confronted with facts, didn't know even remotely what candidate they came from. Something you can blame the mainstream media for, and this ... Read More

Wasn't last night debates BORING? I was excited about it as I learned it was a town hall forum. Then I heard the "big newsman" got to filter all the questions. Then I knew, it was lost. First of all to say, I love blogging. I know that I had to be pushed into it, but once I got into it, I really started to love it. I was aware that when I started that there would be a certain element of ... Read More

CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, New York Times... You know who they are, and just to name a few. The mainstream media have gone over the line and are now straight out propagandists for the Obama campaign. While they have been liberal and blinkered in their worldview for decades, in 2007-08 for the first time, the major media are consciously covering for one candidate for president and consciously knifing the other. This is no longer journalism — it is simply propaganda. We ... Read More

I have no idea if this is a story or not. When you hear of Barack Obama being the next Messiah and how compassionate he is and how much integrity he has, you do have to wonder about this, considering the life of his half brother, George. Here are the facts about George Obama. He’s in his twenties. He lives in a slum in a hut. He wants to become a mechanic but doesn’t have the money. He reports that he ... Read More

I think the hard left should use caution when attacking Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter's pregnacy. One only has to look at the TV and movies, teenage pregnacy is very popular at the moment and could truly come back to hurt the democrats in November. The movie Juno was immensely popular and tonight, The Secret Life of an American Teenager finished up a successful summer run. Obama isn't foolish, when pushed on this issue, he publicly announced that it was a private ... Read More
