Dearest tells me he heard enthusiastic news coverage today of an anti-fracking protest in Albany attended by … 2,000. There were something like half a MILLION in DC. The broadcast media has become nothing more than propaganda arms for the Obamacrats. It’s shameful.
Fracking has been practiced in the US since 1947. Obama’s EPA director admitted there has not been a single incidence of water pollution from it. Keep in mind that Obama has been blocking the Canadian oil pipeline and doing everything he can to shut down coal mining. If they had a hint of a sniff of a problem with fracking, they’d be screaming it from the rooftops. They don’t, so they resort to bullying.
Conservatives, in a nod to intelligence and good journalism, suggest this may be the stupidest headline and premise of a story ever and ponder, if the Pope is still Catholic, is it too late for TIME to rescind that Man of the Year thing.
Tweets:
So the Pope is STILL Catholic. Thanks @Reuters.
Wow, the Church is Pro-Life. Who would’ve thunk?
Wow, I haven’t been this surprised since Obamacare imploded on the launchpad.
The stupid is strong with the lamestream media.
These liberal reporters actually think there’s a debate going on within the Church about abortion.
Reuters, in nod to liberals, calls itself “news.”
In nod to conservatives? How about “In nod to God’s teachings”?
Is Reuters stupid? I don’t know. Is the Pope Catholic?
Pope, in nod to conservatives, says Sunday Mass still “pretty much a requirement, guys, for real, don’t skip it.”
The Pope was holding a bible during his statement, but @reuters incorrectly described it as an AR-15 shotgun.
Pope, in nod to conservatives, believes in God.
Wait till @Reuters finds out the Pope thinks Jesus was divine. It’s. About. To Get. Real.
The IRS has apologized for targeting conservative political groups during the 2012 election in order to hinder their ability to raise campaign money and support challengers to Democrat candidates.
Now it’s coming out that IRS agents were targeting Tea Party groups in 2011 as well. Color me shocked. Okay. Not so much. Certainly the Palins aren’t surprised.
You know what OTHER administration misused the power of the IRS to target political enemies?
What’s the difference? The media.Nixon was a Republican. Obama is a Democrat.
The MSM is on a feeding frenzy over Republican Chris Christie’s Bridgegate scandal.
Now … think back and ask yourselfhow much “frenzy” there was in their reporting of these Democrat political scandals …
Fast & Furious, Benghazi, IRS targeting Tea Party and Conservative groups, DOJ eavesdropping illegally on Fox and AP reporters, Healthcare dot gov’s epic and on-going failure, NSA eavesdropping on pretty much everybody, Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandal, Eliot Spitzer “Client 9” hooker scandal, John Edwards’ infidelity while running for VP scandal, Former Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee Chris Dodd’s sweetheart loan deals, GSA’s Party-gate, IRS waste and bonus scandal, Solyndra etc. “green” government grants followed by “golden parachute for Dem donors” bankruptcy scandals, Charlie Rangel financial disclosure scandal, Maxine Waters banking ethics scandal, convicted criminal and Obama bundler Tony Rezko’s sweetheart real estate deal with Barack Obama, Fannie Mae Democrat CEO bonuses and campaign constributions scandals, billionaire Democrat bundler for Obama Jon Corzine’s perjury and financial hijinks scandal, Obama’s Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner tax evasion scandal, Jesse Jackson Jr.’s attempt to buy Obama’s vacated Senate seat, Oregon Congressman David Wu’s sexual assault of a teenager, David Paterson’s bullying of a domestic violence victim, Eric sexual harassment of a staffer, Obama’s National Security Advisor Tom Donilon leaking national security secrets.
Keep in mind this list could be a lot longer.
So, why is it that Chris Christie is responsible for everything his staffers do, while Democrats are hardly held accountable for their own bad behaviors?
This is nothing new either.Remember how Robert Byrd was once a poobah in the KKK? Remember how Ted Kennedy abandoned a woman to die at Chappaquiddick? You don’t? Hmmm … ask yourself why that is and how the MSM would’ve harped on these two stories endlessly if Kennedy or Byrd had been Republicans.
The media are salivating over the possible rhetorical lynching of what some have called the presumptive(their words,not mine) republican opponent to Hillary!. I WILL find an appropriate term for this she-beast in the course of time.
Apparently one of his top aides ordered two lanes of the George Washington Bridge going into Ft. Lee closed for four days last fall. This was supposedly in retaliation for the democrat mayor of Ft. Lee not endorsing Christie in his reelection. There were massive backups and an ambulance was delayed getting to a hospital where the 91 year old patient died. There was no direct proof the traffic jam was the causal factor.
The media have been in full feeding frenzy all day,salivating at the chance to clear the way for the Butcher of Benghazi. They rejected out of hand his denial of any knowledge of this as readily as they accept every lie their idol spews about not knowing anything about anything.
THE PRESS WAITING FOR CHRISTIE’S PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY
Christie Faces Scandal on Traffic Jam Aides Ordered
Chris Christie and the politics of jerks in office
The media that built up Chris Christie as the salvation of the GOP is turning on him in the lead up to Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign announcement. It is what it is. The media does this routinely.
Could you imagine The Washington Post leaping all over a Jeremiah Wright scandal for Obama in 2005, before he even announced for president? Neither would anyone else imagine such a political crib-strangling. But the Post is aping the rest of the liberal national media on Thursday morning by leaping all over Gov. Chris Christie. “Bridge scandal engulfing Christie,” was the breathless headline. “INCIDENT THREATENS N.J. GOVERNOR’S IMAGE.”
Emails Tie Chris Christie To Bridge Scandal – Give Appearance He Intentionally Endangered Citizens’ Lives For Political Vendetta
The Executive Director of the Port Authority, said, in writing, that the lane closures ENDANGERED LIVES. He also wrote that it “undoubtedly had an adverse affect on economic activity” in New York and New Jersey. How does Chris Christie get caught engineering the harassment of innocent citizens, let alone the endangerment of innocent citizens lives, and keep his political career? And let’s be sane, there’s no way Christie’s deputy chief of staff was going this far without him knowing.
THINK BUTCHER AND HER FLYING MONKEYS COULD BE BEHIND THIS,HMMMM????
CNN Anchor Says Investigators Could Threaten Felony Murder Charge to Induce Testimony From Christie Aide
NOTHING LIKE A LITTLE OVER THE TOP RHETORIC,IS THERE? THIS IS JUST APPALLING.
Chris Christie’s critics savor his misfortune
“All these people who feel like he’s bullied and he’s put them in a horse-collar hold … will feel free to say, ‘See, I told you so,’” said one Republican who has worked with Christie.
Christie Press Conference: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
It was about as good a job as any elected leader could have done under similar circumstances, and far better than others, notably President Barack Obama, has done in responding to scandals of their own. Christie said that he had fired deputy chief of staff Bridget Kelly, and that he would be cooperating with investigations into the widening scandal, which resulted in heavy, disruptive traffic delays in Fort Lee for several days last fall. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/01/09/Christie-Press-Conference-The-Good-the-Bad-and-the-Ugly
Democratic US attorney probing Christie fundraised for Hillary Clinton
The U.S. Attorney investigating the scandal involving Chris Christie’s staffers affecting bridge traffic is a Hillary Clinton fundraiser who would have had his job eight years earlier had he not been passed over for Christie.
[VIDEO] Christie asked if he’s considered resigning: “That’s a crazy question man!”
Republicans are supposed to resign as soon as they’re accused of anything.Democrats have no such moral restraints.
I wouldn’t care so much, if I didn’t recall so clearly what a huge hairy deal the Left made of it every time Dubya played golf or went to his ranch … esp since going to his ranch was not that expensive, since it belonged to him and was outfitted ONCE with what a POTUS needed while away from the Oval Office. BHO’s golf and five-star resort vacays are unbelievably exorbitant compared to Dubya’s, but the fawning Left just talks breathlessly about how great it all is.

This is a feeble attempt by yours truly to try to do a post like CtH could do it.
If you haven’t been paying attention,this is MHP:
For their year-end show they had a bunch of unfunny leftist “comedians” on to mock…what else? Republicans. They showed a picture of Mitt Romney’s family with their newly-adopted black grandchild on Romney’s lap. All these ‘tolerant’ slugs saw was a shiny black face in a sea of white. They thought it was really funny joking about the little ‘token.’
Afterwards,a storm of outrage exploded all over the twitterverse about the crass insensitivity of this no-talent hack.
Fearing for her job,she offered this heartfelt “apology.”
At least she didn’t wear her trademark tampon earrings.
Right after her phony apology,Slate bitch Katrina Van Den Hateful sniffed:
“But I do think the right-wing populism of the tea party not only became so obsessed with an anti-government meme, but let’s be honest. There is a race … racism threaded through the right-wing populism, I mean which is not unusual to American right-wing populism, that has not allowed for coalitions that could be built on behalf of working people in this country against the most powerful interests.”

Even Keith Olberpuke piled on:
Any adults in charge over there? RT @politico Melissa Harris-Perry apologizes to Romney family for using their black adopted grandson in a comedy segment http://politi.co/1hSfI8u
From HotAir.com:
Yeah, the interesting thing about this is that they put the photo on the air even though they obviously didn’t have anything to say about it. Ostensibly it’s comic fodder for Harris-Perry’s panel of comedians to riff, but all they can muster is (1) hey, one of them looks different, (2) a Kardashian joke from MHP herself, and (3) a predictable dig at the GOP — which would have worked just as well as a dig at Obama’s 2012 campaign team, actually. It’s not that the photo’s inherently funny or that a white family adopting a black child is wrong — imagine them reacting to a photo of Tom Cruise with his adopted son — it’s that, I think, they felt they couldn’t let it go unremarked upon that the GOP’s last nominee seems happy to have a black child in his family. On MSNBC, racism is the only reason to become a Republican. They’ve got to mock, even if they’re not exactly sure what they’re mocking, to delegitimize the inconvenient possibility that Romney isn’t prejudiced. Or maybe I’m giving them too much credit; maybe they do have a problem with interracial adoptions, a controversial subject in family law for ages. A lot of people who’d normally insist that race is nothing more than a social construct tend to get fidgety when a black child goes to live with a white family because it risks depriving him of his “authenticity.” Maybe that’s happening here, although I lean towards the “look at this Republican with a black kid!” gawk theory.
In other “all conservative thoughts spring from prejudice” news, apparently making fun of a grown man for wearing pajamas that a three-year-old would wear is proof of anti-Semitism.
THOSE MSLSD FOLKS SURE ARE A GRACEFUL BUNCH,AREN’T THEY?
MHP has a white mother and her dad is bi-racial. Except for a few nightmares like Sheila Jackass-Lee,name another famous black woman who isn’t partially white. I’m not trying to be racist,I just want to know.
Joyless Reid looks black,but could she be Ol’ Harry’s love Chile?
Class act,ain’t she?
Howard Kurtz has a theory. He’s kind of enjoyable since he left CNN.
Howard Kurtz wonders if MSNBC is being deliberately crude. When your ratings have hit rock bottom, the easy way for a TV network to revive your fortunes is to have your hosts deliberately create controversy, which generates social media buzz, which drives viewers to your network.
Is it possible all of these controversies at MSNBC over the last few months have been the result of company policy which encourages MSNBC personalities to be rude and crude?
Sorry, but I cannot help myself. We cannot have freedom without an unbiased media. In most oppressed countries I know of, the media was forced into dishing propaganda for the dictator du jour. Here, they chose it. And it makes me so angry, I could just spew.
Here a couple of the latest bias graphs from Media Research Center.
Obama’s reelection campaign was based on “Al Qaeda is dead”, “You can keep you insurance”, and “The economy is turning around.” You’d think the fact that Al Qaeda is very much alive, five million people have lost their insurance, and the economy still stinks would matter to the MSM. But nooooooo … what matters to the MSM is that finally, Finally, FINALLY Barack got a Real Vacation!
