Pro-barry media bias is no mystery. Hasn’t been since March 3, 2008 when the media let barry walk away after answering, like, 8 whole questions. Imagine Hillary Clinton getting away with that on the eve of what could have been the clinching of the Dem nomination. The New York Times just admitted–as far as they were willing to go–that they killed a story about barry and ACORN.
Why is this a surprise? It’s only the beginning of what will be revealed. And the anger festering since the primaries, coupled with barry doing what barry does: lie, coupled with his birth certificate is going to come to a head. It’s just a matter of time. Hence barry’s “civilian national security force”.

Here are a couple of quotes from NYT’s CLARK HOYT to show how he still thinks it was no big deal. NewsBusters’ MATTHEW VADUM does a great job bringing Hoyt’s words into the world of reality.
HOYT: Evidence supplied by the source could not be verified.
When did that matter for barry’s opponents? Gov Palin faking giving birth? Banning books? And the completely bogus “KILL HIM!” that barry announced during the last debate right? People still believe that happened – John Ridley, Keith Olbermann, Whoopie Goldberg, Joy Behar and Donna Brazile to name a few. And what happened when Sen McCain brought up ACORN?
And then this, which proves he has no journalistic ethics and an even poorer memory. He needs to go back and look at the polls. And it doesn’t matter. None of it should be qualified. It was wrong. It was done to make sure barry won. The intent is what makes it wrong even if it was mathematically impossible. They were corrupted.
HOYT: Even if the story had panned out, it is hard to see how any editor could have regarded it as momentous enough to change an election in which the Republicans were saddled with an unpopular war and an economic meltdown.
Republicans were saddled with the war? barry’s story about Iraq was a fairy tale from the start and it was definitively proven so at Camp LeJune. The troops are coming home on Pres Bush’s timetable.
And if they didn’t think it was going to matter – why did they do it in the first place?
HOYT: I think The Times handled the story as any responsible news organization would.
Name a “responsible news organization”.
None exists.
In the IFC/Zogby Poll right after the election 73% believed there was media bias in general, 75% thought media bias influenced the outcome of the presidential election and 93% thought barry got more coverage. It’s not even a possibility anymore for folks clinging to the delusion that there was no pro-barry bias to be taken seriously.
Hoyt, case in point.
Art imitating life. On 30 Rock Alec Baldwin’s character needed to find his dad kidney in a hurry. His solution:
I have the entire liberal media establishment at my disposal. The same machine that got people to vote for Barack Obama.
SNL, ACORN and the NY Times a large part of it.
