Obama Administration Gets Caught Red Handed Using Media To Spin News!

[beenthere]

More proof that theUS media is in the tank for the Obama administration!
No wonder you can't find a single story from CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC or PBS, I wonder why? LOL



Internal Department of Justice emails obtained by The Daily Caller show Attorney General Eric Holder’s communications staff has collaborated with the left-wing advocacy group Media Matters for America in an attempt to quell news stories about scandals plaguing Holder and America’s top law enforcement agency.

Dozens of pages of emails between DOJ Office of Public Affairs Director Tracy Schmaler and Media Matters staffers show Schmaler, Holder’s top press defender, working with Media Matters to attack reporters covering DOJ scandals. TheDC obtained the emails through a Freedom of Information Act

That's pretty bad beenthere. Where is Fox on this?

 

[potroastV2]

I mean, I realize that you are not paying attention, but ...

Stick with Faux News, where many of the announcers are also working for the Rmoney campaign.

That way, you will have nothing to bitch about.

Thing is, if this is true, it is a violation of the unspoken. It is an afront to our understanding of a free press - FOx lost it's credability as a news organization long ago. I am never sure if they are a shill for the Republicans or if Republicans are simply the operative arm of FOX - I suspect the latter.

 

[nontheist]

Listen I don't watch for news and I don't read Huff post or mediamatters bullshit either, it obvious those sources cater to the extreme. I use news.google.com which catches all the most popular news sites. Doing this does shows a large lean to the left on media. You see stupid articles like "Romney eats a cracker in front of a black man showing his racism" it fucking ridiculous. I even seen one derogatory about Romney choice between snookie and some other stupid ass show.

Back up this statement canndo, with some fact please.
Let me see you prove that Fox has been any more untruthful in reporting the news then CNN, CBS, NBC, PBS, ABC.

I'll be waiting!

Yeah that's not going to happen, I seen ABC flat ass lie and say James Holmes was a member of the tea party. I believe they apologized for the statement but it goes to show how bias they are.

Yeah, I saw that too. Not to mention the other blatant lies told by left-wing news organizations. Hell, Dan Rather got drummed out of public life for his lies.

Canndo, what specifically on Fox news do you object to, is it O'reilly and Hannity?

 

[smokebros]

You guys ever heard of Operation Mockingbird?

 

[nontheist]

You guys ever heard of Operation Mockingbird?

Yeah that shit just blows my mind, knowing things like that pretty much kills any hope for government transparency. I have said many times, if you want to fix our government and right wrongs we need the ability to peek into Pandora's box.

Only from the righth Beenthere. FOX is packed with spin, ignored stories, emphasis on stories that don't make a difference.

FOX has ginned up audiences for their news, it has shown audiences for events in order to show popularity for that event that didn't exist.

There is no newsworthyness to FOX at all. If I though you were really interested I would go out of my way to find you stories. I would show you how Ailes rigs the game over and over again. The thing is that you claim not to watch Fox.

You do not deny then that many of FOX news anylists work for Romney?

I object to Hannity, not so much O'reilly. Hannity is shameless. I object to the specifics of how they run their organization. There are many examples of FOX's antics. It is difficult to explain them, I have never found an online compilation but I have experienced it over and over again through the years. I do have several books howerver - but that would entail me having to transcribe.

The one that comes to mind was a fox reporter caught ginning up an audience just before the cameras went on. A reporter. Involving herself directly into the story. Another was their using footage of a packed field while reporting on a Tea Party event. It turns out that the footage was of some other event altogether and the tea party attendance was disamal. FOX tends to do this stuff a lot - and they rarely apologize - as ABC did in the instance nonthiest describes.

Like I already said, I realize that you are not paying attention, I posted that Faux News "Analysts" also work for Rmoney:

Elaine Chao

Walid Phares

Jay Sekualow

John Bolton

All are paid by Faux News to be some kind of "Analyst" and they also work for and are paid by the Rmoney campaign.

All you need to do is flip the coin to see how transparent his statement actually is. Keep pushing the left right paradigm chaps, you only insult your own intelligence or ignorance, your choice...

Is that link supposed to be funny or are you completely ignorant about just exactly what the Daily Caller is?

Founded by conservative commentator Tucker Carlson and Republican politician Neil Patel, former adviser to former Vice President Dick Cheney, The Daily Caller launched on January 11, 2010

High-profile contributors include conservative Mary Katharine Ham, conservative Ginni Thomas (wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas), blog pioneer Mickey Kaus (Kausfiles), conservative reporter Matt Lewis, and Republican strategist Roger Stone, who serves as the site's "male fashion correspondent"

Yeah, argue against pushing the left right paradigm by posting a link from the baby brother of Faux News.

The issue is not that Media Matters is in collusion with the Obama campaign. The issue is that media matters claims to be an impartial entity that claims tax exempt status yet is completely biased in it's activities. If they dropped the tax status it would not be an issue.

Many Tea Party groups are "non profit" including the Tea Party Patriots.

Whats the difference?

I guess this means you can't back up your assertions with anything but, take your word for it?
Don't worry canndo, I already knew you couldn't.
Just pointing out your hypocrisy is all, I wouldn't get your panties in a wad over it.

You see, you think I'm defending Fox News but I'm not, I'm just pointing out the fact that lefties like you can't back up your BS and when I gave you the chance you folded like a cheap suit!

And as far as the Mitt Romney and the Fox News opinion analysts goes, I could care less, I get all the political opinions I want on this forum!

Beenthere, I have seen a number of posts from you saying - in effect "I am not going to waste my time gathering evidence for you" .

If you want to play dueling news source bias, I'lll play. Tell you what, if I have time today I will try to post some things even though I know that most you will ignore completely and afterward, you will go on claiming what you already do.

I do my level best not to repeat myths eminating from the left and I also do my best to expose the ones eminating from the right. I know you believe me to be a liar of the first order but others on this site do not and they believe I am intellectualy honest, withdrawing my statements when they are shown to be false.


In this case I have watched FOX long enough to know what they do.

An example is last night. They failed to report the video released on Romney's 47 percent in it's entirety but rather compared another of Rommey's misstatements with an Obama 1998 statement regarding redistribution of wealth. That, sir, is bias.
