I've been referring to the post-coital afterglow emanating from Washington, DC this past week, as the media and the nation settle in and wait to find out just who the heck we elected president a few months ago. Bernard Goldberg, Emmy-award-winning journalist and author of Bias, a previous examination of the media's slant to the left, is blowing up the spot with his new book, A Slobbering Love Affair, detailing the media's compulsion to set aside their journalistic endeavors for this election season, in lieu of just wanting to snuggle with the new president-elect.
Was he born in Kenya? Who knows? Was he an Indonesian citizen when he traveled to Pakistan in 1981 as many believe? Who knows? Did he study in the US as a foreign student? Who knows? Was he associated with openly Marxist groups at Columbia or Harvard? WHO KNOWS? How deeply in bed was he with convicted felon, business partner, and next-door-neighbor Tony Rezko? You get the picture....
Goldberg goes into this stuff and much much more as he puts the lie to the liberal assertion that the media was fair and makes the case that our media has sold itself out completely to the liberal agenda.
From the Breitbart review:
As Goldberg makes clear, the shame of the MSM during the presidential election wasn’t simply that they couldn’t mention Barack Obama’s name without swooning, although it did get awfully embarrassing. Giggly teenage girls at a Jonas Brothers concert behaved with more restraint than Chris Matthews.
Worse yet was the way the media kept anything negative about their Lochinvar under wraps. So it was that although Rolling Stone, as early as February, 2007, in a profile of Sen. Obama, wrote about his friend and religious mentor, the loony racist, Jeremiah Wright, the MSM totally ignored the connection until bloggers and Sean Hannity forced the issue. Even then, the media merely took its lead from Obama. When the candidate claimed that in 20 years, he’d never heard his minister say anything hateful about America or white people, they went along with it. When Obama dismissed Wright’s rants as sound bites taken out of context, that was good enough for the MSM. When Obama said that he would never turn his back on Wright, they praised him for his loyalty. Then, when Wright kept repeating those “sound bites” and Obama hurled his worthless carcass under the bus, the MSM praised him for his resolve.
I can't wait to read this one.
