Media Blackout: GAO Says Obama's Welfare Waivers Illegal

September 8, 2012

On Sept. 4, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) made a startling assertion saying that Obama circumvented the law when he summarily waived the work requirements in the welfare law.

Perhaps not as shocking, few news outlets seem interested in the story. In its Sept. 4 letter, the GAO found that Health and Human Services (HHS) should have formally submitted a letter of its intent to make the changes to Congress and the Comptroller General before any waivers can be legally issued. The letter also said that the GAO had not determined if HHS had the legal right to even make such waivers available. The GAO is basically saying that the Obama administration is breaking the law with its waivers.

A producer for MSNBC's "Hardball With Chris Matthews" reportedly started a shoving match with a pair of GOP fans who where heckling Matthews.

Host Matthews was taping an outdoor portion of his show the evening Mitt Romney accepted his party's nomination when a pair of hecklers started goading him about "tingles." According to witnesses, the two men yelled out, "Hey Chris, how's that tingle up your leg?" Others in the audience were laughing at Matthews when a producer for MSNBC came running up and pushed the two hecklers.

Stopping Lawsuits Meant to Silence Dissent: The Free Press Act

In this day of mounting threats to our freedoms, it is time to reinvigorate our Bill of Rights and so Senator John Kyl (R, AZ) has introduced S. 3493, The Free Press Act.

This bill aims to prevent nuisance lawsuits meant only to quash freedom of speech, to stop the intimidation of journalists, bloggers, and those testifying before government. One would have hoped that such a bill would be unnecessary, but in our day of increasing attacks on freedom of speech, perhaps the time has come to reaffirm and remind us all of the legacy our founders left to us.

Most "journalists" like to pretend they are separate from mere politics, but apparently MSNBC's Toure doesn't. He isn't merely observing and reporting on President Obama, but is part of Obama's team.

This is clear by his on-air Freudian slip delivered to us on Wednesday, August 22. On MSNBC's The Cycle, Toure made a telling mistake while disgorging his usual Obama talking points. During the discussion, Touré said that "we" had "succeeded in defining Romney early." "We," Toure? Who's we?

Report: Obama Stimulus Bucks Paid for Advertising on MSNBC

Shockingly, MSNBC and CNN were the lucky recipients of Obama's stimulus bucks for a jobs program that netted no new jobs.

The advertisements were created to promote Obama's so-called "green training" job programs and were handled by the PR firm McNeely Pigott & Fox Public Relations LLC at a cost of $495,000 to the taxpayers. Two video ads ran for two months, 14 times a week during Countdown With Keith Olbermann and The Rachel Maddow Show...

Left-Wing Non-Profits Paying Newspapers for 'News Gathering'

Several newspapers have recently announced that far left leaning, non-profit foundations such as The Ford Foundation have given them hundreds of thousands of dollars to cover "the news."

Many wonder if this "coverage" is being programmed by these left-wing moneymen. Others note that the tax-exempt, left-wing foundations are essentially lending U.S. government subsidies once removed to both newspapers and NPR. Is this all merely a way to "save" the news gathering industry, or are left-wing organizations just buying the news and pushing their far left narrative through stealth?

Just before Mitt Romney's pick of Wisc. Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, CNN commentator Fareed Zakaria got himself in a spot o' trouble when it was discovered that he had plagiarized a piece he wrote for TIME magazine.

He also posted the same plagiarism at CNN. As Friday wore on, CNN and TIME both went from "no comment" to suspending Zakaria, a journalist praised for his perspective on foreign policy. But why was he not fired outright? What does it take to get fired in the lefty media? In any case, as we await Zakaria's final journalistic fate, this is a good time to remind readers of just how far left Zakaria is.

MSNBC's Maddow Divines 'Racism' in Romney Ad

Rachel Maddow of MSNBC is sure that Mitt Romney's recent campaign ad is "racist." How does she know? Well, she can't point to anything substantive that proves it, so she has to feel that it's racist and since she feels it, it must be so.

The ad under Maddow's cross-eyed microscope, titled "Right Choice," speaks to Obama's quiet and quasi- illegal gutting of the welfare reform law that was signed into effect by Bill Clinton back in 1996. But to Maddow this is all "racism." How is an ad that talks about the gutting of a law duly passed by Congress and signed by a Democrat President a "racist" ad? Well, it just, you know, like totally is and stuff.

Obama: Media Should Report Only One Side of the Story

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.
