The reporter who proved Obama and the media liars by reporting the fact that sequester was not only Obama's idea but that in the original deal, Obama agreed not to raise taxes. Woodward: Obama Sequester Cuts 'Madness' Woodward: White House Warned Me WOLF BLITZER, CNN: You're used to this kind of stuff, but share with our viewers what's going on between you and the White House. BOB WOODWARD: Well, they're not happy at all and some people kind of, you know, said, look, 'we don't see eye to eye on this.' They never really said, though, afterwards, they've said that this is factually wrong, and they -- and it was said to me in an e-mail by a top -- BLITZER: What was said? WOODWARD: It was said very clearly, you will regret doing this. BLITZER: Who sent that e-mail to you? WOODWARD: Well, I'm not going to say. BLITZER: Was it a senior person at the White House? WOODWARD: A very senior person. And just as a matter -- I mean, it makes me very uncomfortable to have the White House telling reporters, 'you're going to regret doing something that you believe in, and even though we don't look at it that way, you do look at it that way.' I think if Barack Obama knew that was part of the communication's strategy, let's hope it's not a strategy, that it's a tactic that somebody's employed, and said, 'Look, we don't go around trying to say to reporters, if you, in an honest way, present something we don't like, that, you know, you're going to regret this.' It's Mickey Mouse. (The Situation Room, February 27, 2013) "You Will Regret Doing This" Gpa | |||

The inaccurate report by CNN and other news organizations about an arrest in the Boston bombing case was arguably one of the most flagrant errors on a story of major national consequence in years. Media shrug at Boston blunders Gpa | |||

The stories emerging from the Gosnell trial are dark, bloody and remorseful, a repudiation of what health and happiness should be. Closing arguments are expected next week in the trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, the late-term Philadelphia abortionist. As the trial nears conclusion media coverage of the gruesome testimony in the case has intensified. A coordinated effort by pro-life bloggers and citizens on Twitter managed to break through a mass media cone of silence, and now commentators across the political and pro-life/pro-choice spectrum are offering their perspectives. The truth about the Kermit Gosnell trial Gpa | |||

Press Plays Catchup on Benghazi Scandal The Benghazi scandal has truly become Watergate for the media themselves. Months too late, and only after stunning revelations from whistleblower after whistleblower, members of the Obama-serving media are beginning to ask the questions they should have asked in the immediate aftermath of the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans by terrorists on September 11, 2012. At the time, the media members (with a few exceptions) were too busy trying to drag President Obama to re-election. Only now that his second term is safe have they begun to do their jobs.

Liberal media spin Benghazi scandal to protect Team Obama NBC said there was an “obvious political undercurrent” to the hearings and accused the GOP of going after the “most popular Democrat,” Hillary Clinton. The New York Times public editor criticized her own paper’s Benghazi coverage and The Washington Post’s Twitter account inexplicably mocked those Tweeting about the case as “Chick-fil-A lovers.” AP even called it a “GOP” hearing, to make sure readers saw it as partisan. A Politico story about CBS showed the truly insidious nature of media bias on this story and how the network held back Emmy award-winning reporter Sharyl Attkisson. “CBS News executives see Attkisson wading dangerously close to advocacy on the issue, network sources have told Politico,” wrote Dylan Byers. So much so that Attkisson is “in talks to leave CBS ahead of contract.” As a result, she hadn’t even reported on the Libya attack for five months. It hasn’t just been CBS that has been trying to corral this story. New York Times coverage might still damage the administration even though that paper has tried to prevent it. MSNBC's sometime conservative, former Florida Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough, even Tweeted about Thursday’s Times story, saying it “should cause great concerns in the White House.” That piece, “Diplomat Says Questions Over Benghazi Led to Demotion,” detailed State Department retaliation against one witness, saying “the prospects for the 2016 presidential election” could be impacted. Of course, the article minimized that impact. “Mr. Hicks offered an unbecoming view of political supervision and intimidation inside the Obama administration,” wrote three Times staffers. Unbecoming? Quite the understatement. Hey, sorry we ruined your career. That’s so unbecoming. Public Editor Margaret Sullivan took her own paper to task, but also blamed Fox News for having “fomented” criticism of the Times. “In fact, what’s been written in The Times has been solid. But my sense is that, starting last fall, The Times has had a tendency to both play down the subject, which has significant news value, and to pursue it most aggressively as a story about political divisiveness rather than one about national security mistakes and the lack of government transparency,” she concluded. The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank treated the testimony as if witnesses were lying. His column called the sworn comments a “yarn” and referred to our No. 2 diplomat in Libya as a “virtuoso storyteller.” Milbank pushed the standard lefty response you can expect to see at least till November, 2016: “Hicks didn’t lay a glove on the former secretary of state Wednesday.” It wasn’t just the traditional media spinning for Team Obama. Lefty outlets did their darnedest to downplay the death of four Americans, including the only U.S. ambassador killed since 1979. On MSNBC, NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd undercut the scandal on the May 8 “Morning Joe.” Todd called the decision to not send more special ops forces to Benghazi “very rational.” Host Rachel Maddow blasted the GOP on her May 8 show for an organized conspiracy to make Obama resign, calling it “the most ambitious thing they have done.” Comedian Jon Stewart devoted 8 and a half minutes attacking the GOP for the hearings, even bringing up Nixon cover-ups and saying the party has “a history of hysteria.” Increasingly, his role isn’t to make jokes. It’s as Obama’s Youth Ambassador/Spinmeister. The liberal propaganda site Huffington Post incredibly didn’t even mention the hearings on the front page, just an attack on Fox’s coverage. Buried on the Politics page was the approved Democratic spin: “Benghazi Hearing Reveals Incompetence, But No Cover-Up.” Instead, it found room for stories on food addiction, “the female word for blowjob,” and “The Incredible Name Kevin Spacey Picked For His Rescue Dog.” Other liberal sites went even further, ignoring the hearing and the testimony entirely. The Nation, Alternet and Democracy Now had no visible coverage. That’s a far cry from how the left reacted to even something as mundane as the NRA convention, where no terrorists killed four Americans. It doesn’t really matter how they spin it, the news continues to get out. But if all major news outlets do is cover for the administration, they may well succeed in protecting their 2016 candidate Gpa | |||

White House Meets Privately with Press to Discuss Benghazi The off-the-record session was announced to reporters in the wake of an ABC News report showing that White House and State Dept. officials were involved in revising the now-discredited CIA talking points about the attack on Benghazi. Reporters not invited to the off-the-record briefing are reportedly incredibly unhappy about it: Gpa | |||

Sleeping With The Enemy: Media, Politicos, Once Adversaries, Now One Big Incestuous Circle With the line between politics and media more blurred than ever before, the chance of conflicting interests coming to fruition rises considerably. And with so many different people from one walk of life (politics) involved in an increasingly competitive industry (television), butting heads is fast becoming less the norm and more the exception. For a most recent example of this perspective, please see Exhibit A and B: The Rhodes brothers, Ben and David. Ben Rhodes—who somewhat ironically owns a master’s degree in fiction writing—is the current deputy national security adviser for strategic communication for the President. Prior to his current capacity, he was a speechwriter for Mr. Obama, primarily responsible for writing foreign policy speeches. His wife (Ann Norris) is senior foreign policy and defense advisor to California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer. David Rhodes is the President of CBS News and has held that position since early 2011. According to Steve Hayes of The Weekly Standard and a regular panelist on Fox News’ Special Report, Ben reportedly changed CIA talking points on Benghazi to remove references to Islamic terrorists in an attempt to deflect blame away from Al Qaeda and the Administration, and altered “attacks” to read as “demonstrations”. To the latter, Hayes also reports Rhodes was also primarily responsible for the talking points which blame an anti-Muslim video, a story Susan Rice used on five Sunday shows days after the attack. The columnist concludes that Rhodes and the Administration officials “knowingly misled the country” in the days following the attacks. Meanwhile, at David’s CBS News, Sharyl Attkisson–arguably the network’s most respected investigative reporter—was recently called in a Washington Post headline, “…a persistent voice of media skepticism on Benghazi.” She’s earned this distinction after breaking a story that a special military team—who could have attempted to rescue Americans in Benghazi under heavy attack—was told to stand down by Administration officials. The White House—not terribly accustomed to anyone outside of Fox (until this week) asking hard questions on Benghazi—has allegedly complained to CBS about Attkisson’s reporting. This isn’t anything new: The 52-year-old reporter was also the center of negative attention following her reporting regarding Fast & Furious. Complaints have become so amplified that it has reportedly caused a fallout between (David) Rhodes and Attkisson. Consequently, Attkisson is also reportedly trying to leave before her contract with CBS is up, according to Politico, who also says CBS executives think Attkisson is “wading dangerously close to advocacy” in terms of her reporting on the Benghazi issue. Of course, those same executives didn’t voice the same concern when Attkisson won an Emmy for hammering the Bush (43) Administration in a report on bank bailouts. http://www.mediaite.com/online...g-incestuous-circle/ | |||
