Have you ever wondered why the Lamestream media is unable to report on Barack Obama with the reasonable skepticism any professional reporter should have for any politician, particularly one so prone to blatant lying as Mr. Obama? Now I know. They–apparently nearly every one of them–are the emotional and moral equivalent of screaming, fainting 13 year old girls seeing the Beatles in person for the first time, only far less mature and dignified.
Consider this excerpt from Charlie Sperling of the Examiner as he describes a meeting of Mr. Obama with reporters during the last presidential campaign:
“The behavior of the assembled press corps was telling. Everyone, myself included, swooned. Swooned! Head over heels. One or two might have even lost their minds,’ Hastings writes, as each reporter had a chance to speak personally with the president. ‘We were all, on some level, deeply obsessed with Obama, crushing hard, still a little love there. This was nerd heaven, a politico’s paradise, the subject himself moving among us — shaking our hands, slapping our shoulders!”
And consider this from Rick Moran of PJ Media describing a CNN reporter who wrote highly personal letters to Mr. Obama every day of his first term:
“I wrote about things that were important, like unemployment, Afghanistan and women’s rights. I also wrote about things that were trivial, like sports, favorite foods and my yearly battle with Christmas lights.
The tally: 1,460 letters, well over a half-million words, or enough to fill about seven novels. Laid out as one line of text, these letters would stretch almost 3½ miles or considerably longer than the inaugural parade route.”
In some states, this kind of behavior crosses the line into stalking. It certainly betrays a decidedly unhealthy obsession.
By all means, read both article in their entirety; they explain much. Just be sure to take a double dose of your blood pressure meds first. And remember: these people are talking about a politician.

Michael,
To you and I, Barack Obama is a slimy politician bent on the destruction of a country. To most of the Lame Stream Media, he is their Lord and Savior. This isn’t new, but it is disgusting.
It would not be too far of a stretch of the imagination picturing in our minds the likes of people like Chris Matthews sitting in his living room pleasuring himself during Obama’s speeches. That is how far, and how severe, the hero worship of this president is. But are we really surprised? Obama has realized every journalism school graduate’s ideal of a true socialist to lead this nation into that elusive utopia they have so long dreamed of.
And why not? Take the flagship university of my own state; The University of Texas. The most tenured professor there in the journalism department is Robert Jensen, self proclaimed Marxist and devotee of Che Gueveva, supporter of the Castro brothers and Hugo Chavez. Does anyone think that he does not try to influence his students of his polical/social beliefs?
For generations, we have had those who believe that the responsibility of a journalist is not to simply report unbiased facts, but to actually create public opinion. Taught by the likes of the Frankfort Marxists, who migrated to the U.S. and our universities when Hitler took power, and the Fabian Socialists who understood that suppression takes time and you must convince people that is what they want, we got those like Walter Lippman, Walter Duranty and Walter Cronkite (must be something about the name “Walter”). Facts become unimportant when the power to influence people overtakes one.
But there is an obvious backlash to that tactic. The loss of trust from the American people and the loss of jobs in the print media. The NYSlimes is, again, facing massive lay offs due to lack of readership. More and more Americans are seeking out citizen journalists, like you, Mike, to get their facts from. I recently read two articles about how far left (Socialist, if you like) groups are organizing and joining together to push “progressive” agendas, from crushing the GOP to gun control to well, you name any conservative agenda. While we gritch and moan about them, they are definately not letting any grass grow under their feet. They now have four more years to abolish every right the U.S. Constitution guaranteed you. And they are hell bent on acheiving that goal with well over a billion dollars in accumulated funding.
This is certainly a most interesting read:

When we no longer have the soap box, or the ballot box, to thwart these evil doers, our Founding Fathers understoon that all that would be left to us would be the cartridge box. If we want to avoid that, then none of us can afford to remain idle for one more day. We must create “legal insurrection.”
