I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...]
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]
Terrorists Go Free: Appeasement

Andrew C. McCarthy of National Review Online has posted something quite shocking, considering you generally haven’t heard anything about this in the mainstream media. Well, you might have heard from AP that Obama has freed five imprisoned Iranian “diplomats”. What AP and the rest of the media is conveniently forgetting to mention is that these five Iranians are imprisoned because they are responsible for the deaths of over 400 American soldiers in Iraq!
Now, while the country is fixated on all the other pressing issues, Obama is using the distraction to make deals with Iranian mullahs and to appease Iranian terrorist demands by freeing these terrorist leaders. If his motives for this were on the up-and-up, there should be no reason for Obama and the MSM to whitewash this and try to sneak it past the American people. Yet, that’s exactly what has been done. McCarthy writes:
Right now, politics will allow quite a lot: With unemployment creeping toward 10 percent, the auto industry nationalized, the stimulus revealed as history’s biggest redistribution racket (so far), and Democrats bent on heaping ruinous carbon taxes and socialized medicine atop an economy already crushed by tens of trillions in unfunded welfare-state liabilities, Iran is barely on anyone’s radar screen.
So Obama is pouring it on while his trusty media idles. When they are not looking the other way from the carnage in Iran’s streets, they are dutifully reporting — as the AP did — that the Irbil Five are mere “diplomats.” Obama frees a terrorist with the blood of American troops on his hands, and the press yawns.
And in the true Obama style of not learning from history, this comes immediately following another Iranian terrorist release gone awry, which was also conveniently whitewashed by the press, that time as “an effort to further Iraqi reconciliation”. McCarthy explains:
Obama has already released a leader of the Iran-backed Asaib al-Haq terror network in Iraq, a jihadist who is among those responsible for the 2007 murders of five American troops in Karbala. While the release was ludicrously portrayed as an effort to further “Iraqi reconciliation” (as if that would be a valid reason to spring a terrorist who had killed Americans), it was in actuality a naïve attempt to secure the reciprocal release of five British hostages — and a predictably disastrous one: The terror network released only the corpses of two of the hostages, threatening to kill the remaining three (and who knows whether they still are alive?) unless other terror leaders were released.
It is truly incredible and mind-boggling, just how much the MSM lets Obama get away with unscathed.
