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.

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 [...]

When a congressional committee investigating the White House state-dinner crashers considered asking Desiree Rogers, President Obama’s social secretary, to testify, the administration responded with a blanket refusal. “Based on separation of powers,” explained press secretary Robert Gibbs, “staff here don’t go to testify in front of Congress.” Obama’s view of this question was different in 2008, when President Bush tried to invoke the same principle for his aides and a certain Illinois senator called his position “completely misguided.” What makes Obama’s sudden conversion even more implausible is that Bush asserted executive privilege only for a handful of his most senior advisers: Harriet Miers, Josh Bolten, and Karl Rove. Candidate Obama scoffed at even that limited exemption — but now President Obama claims constitutional protection for his social secretary. Surely James Madison is smiling down from Heaven.
