I've said it before, when your base starts making fun of you, then you're through. So, when SNL done a skit mocking Obama and his apparent do nothing administration, CNN has a hissy fit like a four year old does in a sandbox when he or she doesn't get their way.
CNN went so far as to conduct a "fact check" on the skit, which was even more hilarious. Where was this "fact checking" when Bush was president or is this a rhetorical question? Wolf Blitzer has done nothing more than prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that CNN is clearly in the tank for the Teleprompter-in-Chief.
Get a dose of laughter by watching the "fact-checking" panel:
Is the main stream media attempting to divert attention away from the health care debate by shouting racism? It seems so when you see their reportage.
Take a look at the CNN clip below:
Yet, according to that ever so unbiased Contessa Brewer, these protests aretaking on a racial overtone, "But also there are questions whether this has a racial overtone. I mean here you have a man of color in the presidency and white people showing up with guns strapped to their waists."
I'm not sure if Contessa has an issue with color blindness, but, it would appear that the protester with the AR-15 slung over his shoulder is black. But that isn't the only thing the MSM missed. At a New Hampshire rally, a protester by the name of William Kostric was accosted by union thugs, that is until they saw what Mr. Kostric was carrying:
But what the ever so reliable MSM missed isn't what's bothering me. What has me perturbed is what the MSM is attempting to do by diverting attention away from the health care debate by ginning up non existent, right wing extremist racism when reporting on these protests. Of course, it's to be expected when a news corporation has billions of dollars invested in the Obama administration.
Recalling the incident that occurred on June 10, 2009, the left wing copy and paste media were beaming with joy when they reported that James W. von Brunn was a right wing extremist. However, with a little digging, it was soon discovered that von Brunn had a history of anti social behavior; as an example, he was sentenced in 1983 to more than four years in prison for attempting to kidnap the Federal Reserve Board after a guard found him outside of a board meeting with a gun, knife and sawed-off shotgun.
I'm no expert on history, but, wasn't it Abraham Lincoln, a conservative, who abolished slavery? Wasn't it the democrats that filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act? Is it Conservatives or democrats that supports Israel's right to exist and their sovereignty be recognized and protected?
Well, James von Brunn hated Jews, blacks and all other minorities. He was also a Holocaust denier. Considering that left wing extremists are constantly railing on Israel and the history of the KKK having democrat roots, it seems to me that von Brunn fits quite well into the left wing camp.
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 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.
