Article: Barack "...channel(s) his inner Bill Clinton..."



The title? "PRESIDENT OBAMA CAUGHT LOOKING AT WOMAN'S BUTT DURING G8 ADDRESS." Sorry for the all caps, but that's the way it is. :)


ABC news, of course, is saying "No he didn't." But let's take a look at this. I've watched the video that ABC provided, and I will definitely agree that Mr Obama wasn't as leering as Mr Sarkozy. There's no question about that. The question is, however, was Mr Obama looking.

In my opinion, he was. Granted, that is my opinion, and therefore by no means a provable fact. But in my opinion, he was. ABC news states otherwise, but again, let's take a look at this:

" "ABC News has more than earned the title of the All Barack Channel, they have recklessly fought to achieve it," Media Research Center President Brent Bozell stated in a press release today.

" The network had promised to deliver a health care presentation that would "not be ‘slanted' in any way - much less a ‘day-long infomercial' or ‘in-kind free advertising'," but not a single expert was offered to counter President Obama's plan to nationalize the nation's health care industry. " (*) (emphasis added)

That's a "balanced" view? Not a single dissenting viewpoint? How much more proof is needed before people begin to realize that ABC, indeed, the majority of the mainstream media is firmly in the tank for "the one?"

Let's also consider this:

" Many fear objective and balanced coverage of the president controversial health care plan will be the casualty of "ABC day" at the White House. The transformation of a major news network from watchdog to Obama lapdog would threaten the very nature of an independent press that is vital in maintaining liberty and a civil society.

" Co-opting corporations, especially media giants such as ABC News, to promote his policies appears to be part of Obama's political strategy. General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt, for example, is a member of the president's Economic Recovery Board (PERB) and the company's media units NBC News, CNBC and MSNBC frequently advance Obama's energy policy through its programming and news coverage which would also benefit GE's investment in green technologies. " (**)

I loved that. "...from watchdog to Obama lapdog..." How many times have I said that the majority of the mainstream press were lap-dogs? (Or lapdogs, I've used both.)

Indeed, do a Google search for "All Barack Channel" and you'll get "Results 1 - 10 of about 19,000 for "All barack Channel". (0.07 seconds) "

Nineteen Thousand. No liberal bias here.
