Obama: Media Should Report Only One Side of the Story

August 9, 2012

According to The New York Times, President Obama is a "voracious consumer of news." But he's not at all happy with a media that has engaged in a one-sided love affair with him. He has harsh words for the media establishment.

Times writer Amy Chozick herself seemed quite star struck by the President giving us paragraph after paragraph filled with evidence of how impressed she is with Obama's reading habits and media interaction. But for the President, the feeling isn't mutual. You see he's mad that the press keeps giving the other side so much coverage...

Mark Bittman, a New York Times food critic, admits he used an "inappropriate phrase" in an August 3 blog posting about Chick-Fil-A.

In fact, it was down right Bitter, man, because he seemed to be rejoicing that a vice president of the fast food company had died of a heart attack back in July. Bittman apologized to his readers for the giddiness he displayed about the death of Chick-Fil-A's Vice President of Public Relations, Don Perry, who passed away on July 27.

One of the more absurd aspects of the New York school system is that the teachers union is given the right to investigate itself when teachers are accused of sexual misconduct.

In too many cases the union sides with the criminal teachers instead of their victims. In the Wall Street Journal, Campbell Brown laments this cozy relationship that unions have with their predator members citing several examples of the failure to punish criminal behavior in New York schools. "If this kind of behavior were happening in any adult workplace in America, there would be zero tolerance. Yet our public school children are defenseless," he writes.

NYTimes Looks for 'Golden Lining' in Mass Starvation

By some accounts, since Zimbabwe's terror-inducing Robert Mugabe came to power more than thirty years ago, up to 480,000 people have lost their lives.

Of those not killed outright or starved to death, tens of thousands of people have had their property stolen. Many were beaten, raped, and left for dead. As these outrages were occurring, the nation's economy was devastated following Mugabe's politically-motivated "land reforms" of 2000 and the years thereafter which saw a one-time economic bright spot in Africa reduced to ruins. And in all this violation of human rights the New York Times sees a "golden lining." How could there be a "golden lining" in all this murder--even genocide--and destruction?

The mayors of Chicago and Boston have walked into a "First Amendment buzzsaw" by denying Chick-Fil-A the right to open and operate their fast food stores in the two cities.

If TIME magazine realizes that the Democrats are misusing their powers, it's must be a clear violation of Chick-Fil-A's free speech. Plain and simple. TIME's Michael Scherer goes over the whole series of events that led up to the two mayors -- Rahm Emanuel of Chicago and Thomas Menino of Boston -- imagining they have the power to deny Chick-Fil-A a right to operate because Christians run the company. Scherer's analysis is that this belief in their powers puts the mayors in "tricky legal waters."

The Monitor begins with the premise that racism must naturally be a prime Romney tactic against Obama. "It's not a matter of whether racism will appear in campaign messaging, but when," they write.

The Christian Science Monitor apparently thought it was doing the country a public service by laying out rules by which to judge whether or not a Mitt Romney ad is "racist," but in its five questions to ask yourself about Mitt Romney's ads, the magazine essentially laid out criteria that makes any ad Romney has done or even could do into a racist attack on Barack Obama.

On July 24, Vice President Joe Biden took questions from the White House press during a phone conference call, but the White House told reporters they would not be allowed to use Twitter to live-report the VP's remarks.

Politico reported that the Obama administration banned reporters from Tweeting Biden's comments as he made them, telling them that they'd only be allowed to report on-the-record comments once the call was concluded. What was the justification for clamping down on reporter's freedom to Tweet?

Execs at MSNBC recently attempted to refute Sean Hannity's claim that their host Rev. Al Sharpton "rushed to judgment" in the case of George Zimmerman who was arrested in April for the shooting of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

During his July 18 interview of the accused Zimmerman, Sean Hannity said that Al Sharpton and others rushed to judgment, spreading "misinformation" about the case before anyone could even ascertain any facts about the incident...

NPR feels the need to look out after its interests as House Republicans are advancing a spending bill through committee that would defund the public broadcasting service.

In what many see as a parasitic relationship, NPR is using tax dollars to hire the big lobbying firm of Navigators Global charging them with the duty of keeping the spigot of federal funds open in the face of the spending cuts being talked about in Washington.

It took four to five days for CNN and the big three networks to notice Obama told his audience at a Virginia campaign rally that business owners and other successful Americans aren't responsible for their own success.

Worse, it took advisers for Mitt Romney to comment before these news organizations deigned to report on the incident. In Roanoke, Virginia on Friday, July 13, the President said to business owners, "If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen," causing an uproar on both sides of the aisle as Republicans expressed shock at Obama's comments and liberals defended the President's anti-business remarks.
