On November 9, 2010, after Barack Obama had occupied our highest office for two years, The New York Times published a rather bizarre and heretofore unknown biographical nugget about his childhood.
It seems his nanny in Indonesia was an openly gay male transvestite.
Dunno as I care, but it does rather beg the question why such a detail had never gotten out before, you know?
Oh wait. The media protects the Left.
Early in 2008, the New York Slime ran an article suggesting that John McCain had had an affair. There was no EVIDENCE for it, but that didn’t stop them from putting it out there … on the FRONT PAGE.
Meanwhile, they and the rest of the Laughing Stock Media absolutely REFUSED to INVESTIGATE allegations that 2008 Democrat Presidential hopeful John Edwards had fathered a child with his mistress, WHILE he was running for VP on John Kerry’s 2004 ticket AND his wife was fighting an ultimately losing battle with cancer.
2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s affair? False, yet front page news.
2008 Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards affair? True, but totally ignored by the “real” news media.
Seriously. Ya think if Sarah Palin had been raised by a tranny nanny, the NYT would have ignored the story until two years after the campaign?
Dearest and I were talking about how the Laughing Stock Media has consistently used skewed polls to make Obama look better than he is.
I’ve seen O’bots on the net insisting that he’s the MOST popular president in history when in fact, his HIGHEST ever GALLUP approval rating (67%) is a tie with Richard Nixon’s for the LOWEST highest ever recorded.
It seems to me the media’s behavior is deeply racist. The President of the United States is the most powerful man on the planet. Why do they feel this need to act as if Obama were a spastic child who should rightfully be celebrated for taking a single step? Are their expectations of a black man in the White House THAT low?
Compare the numbers on the two bar graphs with each other and with this little factoid: Feb. 9, 2012 Rasmussen Poll 40% of Likely U.S. Voters said Obama’s performance in the economic area is GOOD or EXCELLENT.
THE GOOD NEWS is that his core supporters are a minority whose beliefs and policies offend all that most of us hold dear.
THE BAD NEWS is that, while 65% say the country is going in the wrong direction, 15% turn around and give Obama a positive approval rating and 5% are so out-to-lunch they actually give him good to excellent ratings on the economy!
Anyone who knows the FACTS knows that Obama’s policies are the same as the Democrats’ standard agenda of raising taxes and increasing spending.
Anyone who knows the FACTS knows that these policies have dominated the federal agenda since Democrats took over Congress in 2006 and brought on and sustained the worst economy this country has endured since the Great Depression.
THE FACT IS that the Democrat Media Complex is NOT telling people the FACTS.
It’s no surprise this is our biggest challenges this year. I found a very recent poll of voter trust in t.v. news sources (January 2012) by Public Policy Polling. Granted, PPP is a Democratic Party-affiliated polling firm … which is definitely reflected in the snarky comments readers posted under the poll report. Surprisingly, though, I didn’t find any bias in the PPP survey sample. And I really ground those numbers LOOKING for one!
At 700, the sample is short of the ideal 1,000 or more. But the demographics for gender and race are close to the general population. I think the age groups are as well, though I did find a rather serious error in the way the data is reported.
I.e., the age groupings in the question do not match the age groupings in the data. However, I compared the percents with the 2010 census and found the question groupings match well with the percents reported. My conclusion is that someone just screwed up the row labels.
In any event, the Big One … the one thing that biased political polls skew the worst … is the breakdown by party affiliation. And this one the PPP poll got bang on. GALLUP does a running poll on this subject (URL below), so it’s easy enough to compare how well any survey’s sample matches the population for the date it was taken.
Jan 2012 PPP Sample GALLUP Party Affiliation Poll
Democrat 41% 30% 47% with leaners
Republican 35% 27% 44% with leaners
Independent 24% 42% 9%
PPP over-polled Democrats by 11% and Republicans by 8%, apparently giving a 3% advantage to Democrats. However, 3% is exactly how much Democrats polled over Republicans when leaners were included. So I’m going with accepting the poll results as fairly accurate of American voter opinion about broadcast news media for January 2012.
I spent hours massaging the numbers. I even made some graphics that turned out to say nothing much. So I deleted them again. It turns out there wasn’t anything surprising in the data. Republicans trust Fox. Democrats don’t. What else is new?
One thing did really stick out for me in the survey and that is that they included Comedy Central in the list of “t.v. news sources.” Huh?
I looked it up. The closest “news show” I can find on Comedy Central is “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” … “Describing itself as a fake news program, The Daily Show draws its comedy and satire from recent news stories, political figures, media organizations, and often, aspects of the show itself.”
IOW, PPP included a show that chooses what news it will cover based on where Jon and his writers find the best jokes. That is kinda creeptastic all by itself. But just to make it even more “What the hell do these people use for brains?” … the survey found 28% of all respondents saying they trust Comedy Central as a news source.
The “trust” breakdown was 36% Democrat, 37% Independent, and (sadly) 12% Republican. I’m guessing those last ones are like the fellow Dearest talked to when he was collecting Republican ballot signatures. This older gentleman said he was a lifelong Republican, that he really missed Clinton and thought that Carter was the greatest president in American history. Oy.
I was kinda creeped out that Comedy Central came in second (not first) on the most distrusted list, but then I got thinking about it and realized the #1 most distrusted (Fox) needs to be set apart from the rest. As the only news source that gives Conservatives a fair shake, it’s the obvious target for Libtards to pick as most distrusted. Our side, however, has to choose from among seven different, left-biased sources.
I got thinking what my #1 least trusted is on that list and realized it would come down to Comedy Central or MSNBC. Since Comedy Central occasionally sticks it to Obama et al. whereas MSNBC has that thrill up the leg thing going for all things Democrat, I decided I’d go with MSNBC. And … what do you know? The top two most distrusted tv news sources that are not Fox were Comedy Central (16%) and MSNBC (15%).
I think I have sufficiently established that we can safely IGNORE the one-in-three voters who are either hard core Leftists or else too stoned on Leftist kool-aid to listen to anything we’d have to say. One can hope the “too stoned” will party hearty the night before election day and be too hung over to remember to vote. Or else that they’ll be too dumb to find their polling place … especially those of us who are being redistricted so who the heck knows WHERE we’ll be sent to vote this year.
As for the rest … 50% of us are on board. How we shake down in the electoral college is an important issue, of course, but we only need to win enough votes, not all the votes, or even a ‘whelming majority of votes.
I think the key is to continue telling the TRUTH. We’ve got the facts and the record of history on our side. All they’ve got is a lot of news media sources willing to do free PR for the Democrats.
And honestly … I don’t think it’s working all that well for them any more. One in five liberals said they do trust Fox News, but do not trust MSNBC. One in four Democrats said they do trust Fox News, but do not trust MSNBC.
People really hate being lied to, so once they get wise to how biased the Laughing Stock Media really is, they’re not going to go back. We just need to stay on point, not let them choose the agenda, and never back down when they call us names.

Fracking may not be a huge issue where you live; it is where I live!
But even if you’ve never heard of it, you should care, because there is enough natural gas under our own soil to provide our needs for more than the next CENTURY.
The best way to get it is by fracking. The Left doesn’t want us to frack. They claim fracking causes water pollution. Never mind that it’s been done safely for more than 30 years in other communities across the country.
Here in Tompkins County, land-owners legally sold the rights to fracking companies to drill on their land. The Lefties sued and the local liberal judge found in their favor.
The local case will go to a higher court on appeal and I hope the fracking companies and land-owners win, because we need the gas and we can get it safely.
And also because I’m so SICK of the Left’s lies about me and my peeps.
In the 2011 local elections, the Democrat’s campaign was a non-stop barrage of “Republicans don’t CARE about water quality!”
Excuse me? We don’t drink water? We don’t have children? OUR candidates were talking about REGULATING frackers so we could have the gas AND safe water.
I’m so SICK of the Left painting me and mine with this broad “EVIL, RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, NARROW MINDED, STUPID” brush.
Who’s stupid and narrow minded? The Republicans who learned how fracking is done, brought in representatives from communities where fracking has been going on for years, and talked to the companies that bought and the land-owners that sold the leases? OR the Democrats who just bellowed, “Oh My God Republicans Are So EEEEEVILLLLL”?
We are NOT, dammit. What we WANT is for America to SAFELY and RESPONSIBLY tap local sources of fossil fuels, so we can enjoy lower prices, a higher standard of living, and fewer “blood for oil” wars.
We’re NOT stupid. We know the fossil fuels will run out. Duh. But what’s the point of leaving it in the ground? Huh? It’s not like these green technologies are safe or affordable YET. It’s not like any of them can even heat or cool your home, never mind fuel industry.
It takes ENERGY and lots of it to have the conveniences and technology most of us enjoy. Materials have to be mined and manufactured, transported, assembled, transported, packaged, transported, offered for retail sale, and transported again until finally, you get to have it at your own home or business.
And for now, the FACT is that almost all of this requires fossil fuel.
(Unless you want to use nuclear power plants, which the greenies also abhor, but that’s another whole story.)
Why do you think the cost of food and postage and pretty much everything else you buy has gone up so much in the past 3 years?
Because the cost of FUEL has gone up.
Unless you’re Amish, even the organic produce you buy in season at the farmer’s market has fossil fuels in their past.
And why has fuel gone up?
Because Obama et al. banned U.S. companies from doing off-shore drilling (while selling the rights to other countries, whose drilling operations are not subject to the environmental regulations ours are).
Because Obama et al. canceled drilling leases that were granted under Bush.
Because Obama et al. refused to allow the pipeline from Canada to come here.
Because Obama’s bffs in Tompkins County and elsewhere are trying to legislate and/or sue to stop fracking everywhere they can.
I’m so SICK of it. And I’m especially SICK of the MEDIA’s cooperation in LYING about these things.
Fox News is the only major news source that isn’t acting like the public relations arm of the Democratic National Party. The rest of them are not just grossly left-biased, they’re PROUD of it.
I urge you to go watch the videos posted here:
Gasland director hides full facts
EPA Administrator Tells Congress No Proven Cases Where Fracking Has Affected Water YouTube
All together, the four videos will take you less than seven minutes to view. I bet it takes you a lot longer than seven minutes to earn the difference between what a fill-up cost under Bush and what it costs now.
If you end up agreeing with me that getting this documentary made is important, please donate $20. It’s a great deal. You’ll help get the truth out so American voters can make INFORMED DECISIONS, and they’ll also send you a copy of the DVD when it’s done. (I own the documentaries these people have made in the past. They’re really good.)
If you deny that there is liberal bias in the mainstream media, you are living under a rock.
The only thing they don’t ask Republican candidates about much is economic questions and debt questions. Instead they ask horribly slanted, often irrelevant questions designed to make them look bad and help Obama.
We’ve heard questions about contraceptives, religion, Newt’s angry ex-wife, Cain’s employees, Romney’s personal wealth, Gardasil, etc. Newt’s rise was because of the way he attacked the media and Obama in the debates because of the stupid and obviously planted questions.
So, what would happen if the mainstream media treated Barack Obama the exact same way they treat Republicans? The questions might sound a little something like this. …

SCOTUS MAY POSTPONE OBAMACARE RULING UNTIL 2016
