Journalists manipulate the news


Posted: Nov 17, 2012

"After yesterday's closed-door testimony of David Petraeus on the Hill, we now know for a fact that for two weeks the Obama Administration repeatedly and relentlessly lied to the American people about what they knew was the truth behind the September 11 anniversary attack on our consulate in Libya. Unfortunately, we also now know that they're going to get away with it. "And still, the media and Democrats don’t care, because…. "…the administration refrained from saying it suspected that the perpetrators of the attack were Al Qaeda affiliates and sympathizers to avoid tipping off the groups. "That's reporting from The New York Times -- the same New York Times that during the Bush Administration published every piece of classified information leaked to them that might undermine the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. "But now, apparently, blatantly lying in the name of national security -- with a lie that just happens to be convenient to the president's reelection bid -- is okey-dokey with The New York Times … and the Democratic Party … and almost all of the media." --John Nolte;

...in whatever way they can to attract the most ratings and advertiser dollars. Fox and outlets like breitbart.com are constantly ginning up conspiracy theories to de-legitimize the president, and the witch hunt has grown tiresome. Let the man do his job without having to be sidetracked by the right-wing spin machine.
There are those 2 words I was talking about below! - waste of time

Conspiracy and witch hunt! Unfortunately we have to face the fact this president is like no other. He has deceived many and will continue to get away with everything. This is the one president that cannot be impeached. His media and people would riot in the streets because they believe he is a truthseeker. They would never blame him for anything, but easily find others to blame when people start to ask questions. I would like to know why help was not provided in Lybia weeks before the attack and who made the decision to ignore them, but again Obama didn't make the decision, it is somebody else's fault. Bet they won't question General Ham either. I have accepted nothing will be done and he will be squeaky clean as usual.

Breitbart or not - the article is accurate.

Unless you can show me where it's not. I might have missed something.

It's not Breitbart's mission to be accurate. Breitbart feeds - malcontents. Everything is twisted to be worse. nm

a scandal resulting from outrageous Democratic...corruption, gross incompetence, attempts to turn the U.S. over to our enemies, etc., etc.

Sometimes, though, the Republican leadership uses an event to energize its base and TELLS its base that it's a scandal. Then right wing voices on the internet take off from there, developing that idea of a fake scandal. Which is where Breitbart comes in.

There were four real deaths, and not everything that should have been done was, but not as horribly as you've been told, plus a lot of what blame there is would have to go to the GOP, which is also part of our government and had a hand in creating this situation.
Yes, I agree with your post. Unfortunately, - the GOP refused SM
