Imagine An Honest Media

It’s easy if you try. Not in the tank for anyone; readership sky high. Imagine all the people hearing ALL the facts.

Gay Patriot wonders where to find the MSM’s Missing Stories of Obama.

* Citing efforts by John McCain & other Republicans to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in order to prevent a meltdown like the one taking place now on Wall Street.
* Asking why Democrats led by Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd thwarted those reform efforts.
* Reporting that Obama was one of the top recipient’s of Fannie Mae largesse.
* Probing Barack Obama misrepresentations of his relationship with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers.
* Investigating that relationship.

Click through because that’s only a partial list, and his list is chock full o’links.

I remember when most cities had two dailies. Admittedly, that was pre-internet and cable news, but that isn’t the whole story. There is a deep and abiding distrust of the press now; a marked change from when I was a kid and Woodward and Bernstein were heroes in a movie.  And the worst part is that we genuinely need the press.  Well, we need honest brokers of information, at least – whether the press ever really did that or is capable of doing it is another story.

The media – printing classified information.  Protecting terrorists and printing their propaganda.  Openly trying to manipulate yet another election.  We’d be better off with nothing at all at this point.

    The whole Bill Ayers thing is a non-issue. The only hard facts that have come out so far are the $200 contribution by Ayers to the Obama re-election fund, and their joint membership of the eight-person Woods Fund Board. Obama was 8 when the Weathermen were active and Ayers is not the Ayers of 40 years ago.

    “Reporting that Obama was one of the top recipient’s of Fannie Mae largesse.” I believe that it totals about $100,000 in campaign contributions. Big deal when contrasted with McCain’s lobbying connections.

    “Citing efforts by John McCain & other Republicans to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in order to prevent a meltdown like the one taking place now on Wall Street” Please. Get new talking points. The GOP thwarted every regulatory effort. Notably, Phil Gramm is responsible for much of the deregulation.

    “Asking why Democrats led by Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd thwarted those reform efforts.” IBID
