A Look Back At Recent History

Obama state run media outlets focusing on Americans voicing their concerns and outrage at town hall meetings, seem to forget the violent past when George W. Bush was president. So, let's take a look back at recent history.

Remember this during the RNC Convention?



Or what about these:








Or what about this:



Where was the condemnation from CNN, MSNBC and other state run media outlets during these protests, that more often than not turned violent? It was non existent. Yet, when protesters voice their outrage towards Obama, the state run media is all over it, claiming that they are well orchestrated mobs and nothing more than astroturf.

As an example of this media bias, the Washington Post headlined an article titled," Obama Faces 'Scare Tactics' Head-On":

Excerpt:

As the president spoke, demonstrators outside held posters declaring him a socialist and dubbing him "Obamahdinejad," in reference to Iran's president. People screamed into bullhorns to protest a bigger government role in health care. "Nobama Deathcare!" one sign read. A young girl held up a sign that said: "Obama Lies, Grandma Dies."

The New York Times, that bastion of media fairness, reported that a democratic congressman found that "an opponent of health care reform hanged him in effigy" and was confronted by "200 angry conservatives."

Did the effigy look anything like the image below?



And was the congressman's encounter with "200 angry conservatives" anything like the encounter former President Bush was confronted with in Portland, Oregon? Both news outlets were there during this protest, yet at no time was any coverage given to it.

So why all of the media outrage at these town hall protesters and posters depicting Obama as the Joker from the movie Dark Knight? Well, Rush Limbaugh doesn't call them state run media for no reason. News organizations, such as MSNBC, CNN, NBC, New York Times et al, have sunk millions of dollars into getting Obama in the Oval Office. So it should come as no surprise that they will report anything that can be deemed as a threat to their dear leader; consider how often Sarah Palin makes news on these pathetic excuses for journalistic media sources.

And let's not forget who owns MSNBC and NBC who, by the way is on Obama's Economic Advisory Board.
