A free press for a free people; how's that working out for us?

 CBS Local;  Obama’s Security Breach In Libya Is Ignored By American Media
"As the liberal American press and ultra-liberal bloggers inundate the Internet and newsprints with criticisms of what Mitt Romney, the GOP presidential challenger to President Barack Obama, said about Obama during the Libyan attacks and murders, throngs of foreign press and few American outlets tell the real story involved with the White House’s role in the incidents that we now know could have been prevented."
Hamby, journalist

Thanks for clarifying that, CNN  "A CNN political reporter has taken an active role raising money for the Obama campaign."....
Imagine for a moment that a Fox News reporter had tweeted the fundraising page of Romney to followers. It would be the top story at CBSNBCABCMSNBC and the NYT. [Peter]Hamby's tweet has been out there for 5 days now."  Newsbusters has more. 

NFL Pulls Ref From Game Over 'Open Rooting,' Will Media?  "The League felt it was a clear conflict of interest and decided that the ref could not be a fair judge of a game featuring his favorite team.  
"One would hope that the Old Media would take a lesson from the NFL. Shouldn't the media bench anyone that is blatantly rooting for Obama and the Democrats?"


No Joke: Bozell Demands Letterman Cut the Schtick, Ask Prez About Ongoing Jobs Catastrophe  "This is a man who can’t make room in his busy campaign fundraising schedule for critical intelligence briefings, or his jobs council, or even a sit-down with the Prime Minister of Israel while Iran’s uranium centrifuges are whizzing away toward Armageddon. Instead he is on his way to the Ed Sullivan Theater for yet another cutesy campaign infomercial courtesy of his boosters at CBS and Worldwide Pants."
But Letterman is balanced; he mentions Obama and Sarah Palin equally.
