Maybe the media should be vetted - finally

Breitbart lives! THEIR RULES, NOT OURS: TIME TO VET PRIVATE LIVES OF JOURNALISTS?
"We now have three  instances of three individual Politico writers digging up and publishing political oppo-research about the private lives of private citizens who don't support Obama, and the motive behind these attacks can only be for two reasons:

1. To change the narrative of effective criticism of Obama to the less flattering moments of the private lives of these individuals.2. To intimidate and frighten others who might consider supporting a candidate not named Obama.
...."If the media says the private lives of private citizens are now fair game, aren't journalists private citizens?
"Actually, journalists, in my opinion, are not private citizens. In fact, I believe they hold a public position of power, trust, and responsibility more important to our democracy than some private citizen who asks Obama a perfectly fair question, appears in a Romney ad, or donates to a super PAC." 


Leftist Media Matters thought of it first: Media Matters memo called for hiring private investigators ‘to look into the personal lives’ of Fox employees   “Simply put,” Frisch wrote, “the progressive movement is in need of an enemy. George W. Bush is gone. We really don’t have John McCain to kick around any more. Filling the lack of leadership on the right, Fox News has emerged as the central enemy and antagonist of the Obama administration, our Congressional majorities and the progressive movement as a whole.”

“We must take Fox News head-on in a well funded, presidential-style campaign to discredit and embarrass the network, making it illegitimate in the eyes of news consumers.” "

NYT REPORTER GOES TO ROMNEY'S CHURCH, SEEKS DIRT FROM WORSHIPERS

JIMMY FALLON: 'THE PRESIDENT BOOKED HIMSELF ON OUR SHOW'  "So Obama wasn't even an invited guest. He invited himself on and in exchange Fallon still happily went along, giving the president the opportunity to spread his political propaganda -- this after greeting Michele Bachmann to the tender strains of "Lyin' Ass Bitch." "


BIN LADEN MOVIE 'DIRECTED' BY OBAMA  "The Daily Caller reports that documents obtained by Judicial Watch reveal that the White House "worked closely with producers of a movie about the successful killing of Osama bin Laden and pushed them to incorporate the administration’s talking points." "
