| An article in Monday’s U.S. News & World Report by Ken Walsh, a veteran journalist who covered five presidencies, notes a growing “unhealthy antagonism … between the West Wing and the mainstream media.” If the assessment is accurate, it could mean that the press, after four years of mindless obeisance to this administration, is finally ready to provide frank coverage, warts and all. The sea change, if one is in the cards, started with the now-infamous brouhaha involving another old hand, Bob Woodward, and White House economic adviser Gene Sperling. Since Woodward publicly asserted that he was

Note to CrapMedia: How about a bit less whining on your part about how you`re being treated an a lot more truthful reporting about what is going on in this country instead of carrying the water for this lame president.

Until Bob spoke up, they were all going along willingly ?
If that female reporter let someone call her those names and didn´t speak up, it´s beyond pathetic.
If it takes 100,000 signatures to petition Zippy, can We petition to impeach him ?

We´ve been here before. During the Clinton Senate trial, I said repeatedly, "They´ve got him now. Surely they will vote to remove him."
During the OJ Simpson trial, I watched every night and repeatedly said, "The game is up. Certainly the jury will find him guilty."
Justice in either of these cases? No. And there will be no justice with Barack Obama. He will achieve all he plans to achieve, and he will get away with it.

If these media weenies are whining now, wait until (someday) a Conservative wins back the WH and the media´s pro-democrat chickens come home to roost. I can foresee the press office shutting down, dismissal of the press secretary, and basically the President flipping the bird to these crap weasels and talking directly to the American people. Lets here the piggies squeal when that happens.

It´s wishful thinking to think the media will turn on Obama.They all hated republicans long before Obama came along and they´re not all of a sudden become BFF´s of the GOP.
They´re no different than a typical government worker who has to endure all the crap on the job but the pay is too much to walk away from.
Sure,they´re sore and offended Obama cut them out of a photo op with Tiger Woods but they´ll keep a lid on it for long term survival´s sake.
If you can be thrown out of school for carving a pop tart into a gun,just imagine how harsh these people could be if you got on their wrong side.

I´m confused. I thought Woodward woke up next to the horse head yesterday and, as a result, came out and said that he WASN´T threatened after all. A horse head will do that every time.
Either I´m confused or this reporter is behind in his story.
So someone please tell me, is Woodward still saying he was threatened or not? If not, where´s the rest of the horse? Taco Bell?

This isn´t like really breaking it off and getting free. This is more like "You never tell me you love me anymore." Lovers quarrel sometimes - they´ll be OK.
Obama slaps them around. The press cries now before apologizing later for "making him be that way," and they´ll kiss and make up.
"It´s just that those d@mn republicans are in my chili all the time, and then when I don´t get support from you, I just get crazy." "O, I´m so sorry, baby. I´ll do better, I promise - you know I love you more than anything in the whole wide world."
Everything will be fine. Not to worry.

Wait until their usefulness is gone. They will end up on the garbage disposal heap like so many slaughtered under new regimes. Obama and Hillary won´t be there to pretend to take them into their new paradise as they are only puppets too. It won´t matter if Bill and Hillary are playing alleged games to pretend they are the answer; not Obama when neither is the answer. They need to read history about what really happens when a new regime takes over. It won´t be pretty.

Progressives are, at heart, profane flame throwers. It is their first go-to response. Depending upon how much the truth hurts defines the level of profanity. Andrew Breitbart understood this and exposed their hypocrisy time and time again. His type won´t pass this way anytime soon...a happy warrior.

No, the MSM isn´t beginning to see the light. A few of them got their feathers ruffled and cried about it. That´s all that happened. They are still going to be in the tank for Obozo and will still refuse to investigate anything about those associated with this administration, etc. As previously posted, they are commited liberal, progressivies, socialists, or what ever you want to call them except honest journalists. That they are not.

We´re only seeing this now that Obama´s been safely reelected.
Watch for a few more reporters to come out with bits and pieces of the truth about Obama. But nothing they say now will be enough to bring him down -- it will be only enough to give them (the reporters) a claim to "objectivity" and to having been "critical of both sides."
We know the truth ... which is that Obama´s media acolytes have known for since 2009 (if not earlier) that he and his spokespeople are bullies, liars, and crass propagandists.
Remember Helen Thomas´s 2009 rant about his staff´s manipulation of the news, by controlling reporters´ questions at one of those so-called "town hall" meetings? (Hey, ol´ Helen was right once or twice!)

Absolutely serves the Press right to get hammered, but I will also bet that when push comes to shove they stand with Barack. E.G. the lofty Brian Williams, who runs his nightly news, never even bothered to MENTION the Woodward brouhaha on his show. In the same way they never mentioned Fast & Furious for 6 solid months and then had to explain, real fast, what it was about when indictments were about to come down (what ever happened there-our A.G. again?).

Awww, the fawning, dejected boys are now feeling like used condoms. They shouldn´t have put themselves in the position in the first place. Now they have lost the title of "reporter" for the rest of their lives.
It was a cool thing to do to cover up for the first black president so he would go down in the history books as a great and successful social experiment and they would receive credit for their helpful support. Little did they know that the boy doesn´t have a successful bone in his body. Yes, his campaign tactics worked on the gullible but P.T. Barnum could tell you about that.

One little kid blurts out that the king is wearing no clothes when all the brainwashed townspeople were pretending the king was wearing this special gold woven suit. So, old Bob Woodward whines about Captain Queeg no wearing any loths, that is a break through. But now it´s time for any of the few sane people left in the kiss ass media to get real and start reporting, mocking, trashing, exposing, golf photographing this Captain Queeg re-run (hey, see the movie, The Caine Mutiny) already. The lovely robotic Diane Sawyer is the model of lying and obfuscation. She´ll be the last to defy Captain Queeg. She´s brilliantly locked in to hopeless. Bob Woodward, the first person to stand up an object to the way the meeting is being corruptly run. Each city and town has their own lineup of a whole lot of stupid newscasters, equally brainwashed neighbors. Go after them, too. It´s time to forget corrupt Wshington and ATTACK allamestream media for their crimes.

Tell us who his REAL father is, as in "Dreams from my REAL Father".
Tell us whether he is a natural born American citizen, a naturalized (former Indonesian) citizen or NOT an American citizen.
Tell us about his education -- Was he a Fulbright (foreign) Scholar? Ditto for his grades.
Tell us about his social connections, Chicago friends and club memberships.
Report on the rampant fraud in the 2012 presidential election, including rigged voting machines, too high voter turnout in swing states, all Obama voting in many precincts, etc.
Tell us how Barry and his cohorts are deliberatly using the sequester to weaken and cut our military while TSA agents are receiving expensive new uniforms and American is sending millions to Syria and Egypt.

The State Department on Thursday dismissed accusations that it had retaliated against one of the key witnesses at this week’s Benghazi hearings by demoting him after he questioned the Obama administration’s account of the terrorist attack. Foreign Service officer Gregory N. Hicks, who was the No. 2 U.S. diplomat in Libya during the Benghazi terror attacks last year, told lawmakers at an explosive House hearing on Wednesday that he was chastised and “effectively demoted” after he questioned the decision to blame the military-style assault on a spontaneous demonstration against an anti-Islam video.

Sixty-two percent of the Republican members of the House of Representatives--143 of 231--are now co-sponsoring a bill that would authorize a special committee to investigate the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. The only thing standing between this super-majority of House Republicans and the special investigative committee they seek is House Speaker John Boehner, who controls the legislation the Republican majority brings to the floor for a vote.

The president´s recently formed grass-roots campaign operation revealed Thursday that it plans to attack Republicans who question radical global warming hype, dubbing them "crazy" purveyors of "far-fetched conspiracy theories." In a fundraising memo from President Obama´s re-election campaign manager, Organizing for Action slammed "climate deniers" and their doubts, which Jim Messina compared to the nutty things a crazy uncle would say at Thanksgiving dinner. After listing some of the arguments critics make against the president´s drive to use regulations and taxes to curb carbon dioxide emissions he believes are contributing to global warming, Messina wrote: "Sounds like things your

In 2014-2015, the federal government will make a groundbreaking shift: fathers and mothers will not be included on federal student aid forms. Instead, the Department of Education announced Thursday that income would be listed “from a dependent student’s legal parents regardless of the parents’ marital status or gender, if those parents live together.” Instead of “father,” the societally-sensitive term “Parent 1” will be used. And for “mother,” the term will be “Parent 2.” Secretary of Education Arne Duncan explained why fathers and mothers would be done away with in favor of names cribbed from

Wednesday´s testimony on the Benghazi terror attacks by State Department whistleblowers before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform contradicted several statements by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in testimony before House and Senate committees in January. However, while Clinton may have misled Congress in her testimony, she likely did not commit perjury because she never actually testified under oath. Video recordings of Clinton´s Jan. 23 testimony before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee suggest that she was never sworn in. Breitbart News subsequently confirmed with staff on both committees

One early morning in mid-January of 2013, Jesús Juárez opened the front door of his Brownsville, Texas home and saw a package. It had the typical FedEx markings on it, and despite the fact that his daughter’s boyfriend didn’t see it on his way out the night before, Jesús brought the package inside and opened it. Fortunately, only one of the four pipe bombs inside the package detonated, but just that single device blew out the front door and windows and severely burned him, his wife and their young daughter.

The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi nearly five days after it occurred even though new revelations show Ansar al-Sharia’s direct involvement. Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and a self-described whistleblower, testified before a Congressional committee Wednesday that the body of Ambassador J. Christpher Stevens was missing for hours during the attack after being dragged out of the diplomatic post in Benghazi.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life." CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

Northwestern University continued to stumble over diversity issues this week as Mexican students voiced disagreement with a campuswide letter that advised students not to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as eating tacos and drinking tequila. The letter was sent to students via e-mail, and published in The Daily Northwestern last week. Leaders of Alianza, a Latino student group, and the Associated Student Government called on students to remember that Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. It is not a day to throw a sombrero-themed party, they said.

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W. Bush years -- led by that least-credible of champions, the almost-always-wrong Darrell Issa --

British physicist Stephen Hawking has dropped plans to attend a major international conference in Israel in June, citing his belief that he should respect a Palestinian call to boycott contacts with Israeli academics. The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.

Ahead of the Benghazi hearings in which three witnesses are set to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade invited Fox News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters to discuss the issue. Peters was unflinching in his criticism of the “cowardly” Obama administration — and the “establishment media” that aids it. “Is this a national security coverup?” Kilmeade asking, explaining that the witness testimony is expected to say the administration was deceitful in its handling of the situation. “The administration, facing the election, went into panic mode, wanted to contain it,”

Fans of Glenn Beck are complaining about what I wrote yesterday about his speech at the National Rifle Association convention, where he used a giant image of Michael Bloomberg photoshopped into what appeared to be an image of Hitler with his arm raised in a Nazi salute and wearing an armband. The Beck crowd now tells me that it wasn’t Hitler’s picture into which the New York mayor was transposed but that of Communist leader Vladimir Lenin. They say that means I owe Beck an apology along with the Anti-Defamation League and others who were also outraged by it.

John McCain is going to release a bill that would dismantle cable as it´s currently constructed, Brenden Sasso at The Hill reports. The legislation would force cable companies and satellite TV providers to give consumers an option to pick and choose which channels they get. This is called "à la carte programming," and it´s long been a dream of consumers who only want a handful of channels. McCain tried to introduce similar legislation in 2006 and it went nowhere.

On September 11, 2012, terrorists attacked our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and murdered four Americans, including our ambassador. Eight months later, we have learned some of what happened, but many questions remain.(Snip)What we do know leads to the inescapable impression that before, during, and after the Benghazi attacks, there was confusion and paralysis at the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and the White House.

The families of Navy SEALs killed in an August 2011 shoot-down of a helicopter in Afghanistan spoke at a press conference Thursday morning, citing a number of grievances, including an allegation that the Pentagon invited a Muslim cleric who “disparaged in Arabic the memory of these servicemen.” In addition to blasting the Obama administration for the mission and for an official investigation they deemed a cover-up, the families complained that “military brass, while prohibiting any mention of a Judeo-Christian God, invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen
