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 [...]
FOXNews – White House Detente

Politico has been all over a story today regarding the news that the White House is finally granting an interview to FOXNews. First, it was leaked, then passively denied by the White House, then confirmed by FOXNews, then admitted by the White House.
Sure, it’s an interview conducted in a series of interviews being granted to several networks, but it’s still a major milestone for an administration that has so far blacklisted FOXNews!
I’d be very relieved and excited about this news if it weren’t for the fact that I kind of liked it better before when the White House was still boycotting FOXNews. After all, during the boycott, Obama’s blatant politicization and polarization of everything he does was undeniable even to the MSM, who were shocked at his anti-FOX policies.
Now, by apparently changing/softening these policies, there’s a chance that some people would mistakenly conclude that he is trying to “bridge” some “gaps” or soften up his politics, when in reality there’s no way that the Obama leopard is changing any of his spots.
This is just more of his posturing to mold public opinion to his advantage, having seen that his previous policies in this regard backfired even amongst his MSM friends.
