The press builds a wall around Obama

Jake Tapper of ABC; The Benghazi Drip-Drip-Drip  "In the place of a detailed description from the Obama administration about what happened more than six weeks ago comes the drip-drip-drip of stories about the failures of the Obama administration to provide those Americans on the ground in Libya with all the security assets they needed."
Media Blackout: Why Obama Dodged the Libya Question  "When the Benghazi issue did surface, other than on Fox, it was invariably brought up by Republican guests, and then deflected by the hosts, who largely ignored new stories this week that implicated the White House in the decision not to intervene to save the life of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and other American staff.
"Here is how the Sunday shows covered the issue:"....

But there is some light breaking through the media firewall: Benghazi Timeline: More Lies Exposed  Doug Ross has done a brilliant timeline of the events in Benghazi and the events in D.C. Worth cutting and saving. Sharyl Attkisson of CBS news has uncovered even more shocking details of the Administration's mishandling and mendacity about the attacks on our consulate in Benghazi. ...CBS News has learned that during the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Obama Administration did not convene its top interagency...

Neal Boortz; Media Bias Intensifying  "I was talking with a former newsman yesterday – a news director and news anchor. He lives way up in the frozen north, right in the middle of Obama territory. He told me that it just cannot be avoided any more – no matter how much he wanted to believe that our national press corps is truly impartial in this presidential race, the obvious blatant bias for Obama simply cannot be denied any more. The media, with exceptions, is in the tank for Obama and the news coverage has been and will be carefully calculated so as to increase the likelihood of Obama’s reelection.
