In response to Gee, It's Almost Like the LA Times Is Trying to Hide Its Own Huge Scoop:

Where is my cookie? Why would the LA Times not hide its own scoop, after all, what is this IRS scandal about anyways, and who is this Lois Lerner woman?(Sarcasm)

If you can find the story on Lois Lerner pleading the Fifth, I'll give you a cookie.

Dan Rather, discredited CBS journalist, has weighed in on the recent scandals facing the Obama administration.  He stated that the "controversies" are not in the same "cosmos" of Watergate.

“Those who compare it to Watergate, the Republicans, are always eager to jump on almost anything and say, ‘Well, it’s like Watergate,’” Rather said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “We’re not anywhere in the same cosmos as that. Keep in mind, with Watergate, while using the Internal Revenue Service to punish one’s opponents came directly from the president himself. That’s a fact. Now, in this case, we don’t even know whether the president was aware that this was happening.”

Ace's sad little NPR clown mourning the unfair demise of the Maximum Leader's "bipartisan" dreams is but one example of Obama dead-enders going mad with despair.  Aging hippie Katrina vanden Heuvel is using music to cope.  "In these times of pseudo-scandals," she sighed on Twitter, "tonight is for Marvin Gaye & Al Green & Aretha - reminding me of the humanity that keeps us aloft."

Of course she would have considered George Bush's IRS going after left-wing anti-war groups to be a "pseudo-scandal," too.  Don't you dare accuse her of brain-dead hypocrisy while she's grooving out to Marvin Gaye's cover of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine (And Eric Holder Heart It Too, Because He's Got My Phone Bugged.)"

Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post fact-checker, awarded President Barack Obama "four Pinocchios" for his claim yesterday that he had described the Benghazi attacks as an "act of terrorism" immediately. 

Hooray.

In response to ABC's Libya Smoking Gun Has Media Matters' Boehlert Speaking Gibberish:

I think we can interpret this gibberish as the sound of the legendary Obama Bus of Doom shifting into first gear and rolling toward Hillary Clinton.  The groundwork is now laid for a big coordinated push by Democrat operatives in the media to portray Clinton as a rogue loose cannon who cooked up these phony talking points with the assistance of protocol droids like Victoria Nuland, while poor helpless Barack Obama was completely out of the loop.  Why, he and Biden were probably as shocked as the rest of us to hear Gregory Hicks' testimony yesterday!

Is this English?

Well, it looks as though the Benghazi saga is finally escaping from the "Fox News ghetto" Ace was talking about the other day, since ABC News built from the work of the Weekly Standard (and even acknowledged them!) to report that the notorious Benghazi talking points went through no less than 12 revisions - each more dishonest than the last.

There was still some garbage about "spontaneous inspiration by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo" in the initial CIA report, but they were clear about organized terrorist forces involved in the attack, specifically naming the al-Qaeda affiliate Ansar al-Sharia.  The CIA was also clear about the steadily deteriorating security situation in Benghazi prior to the attack.  All of the valid information was relentlessly purged by Hillary Clinton's house elves, particularly State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, until only the ridiculous nonsense about video protests remained.

It's time for a full, complete boycott of all of NBC and a boycott of links to all media channels, except in the absolutely legally or ethically required cases.

We link a lot of time when it's easy enough to rewrite.  It's time to just rewrite, and provide attribution.  Stating that news comes from the New York Times, and such-and-such a reporter, is attribution.  A link is not required.

When it comes to the accused mass murderer Kermit Gosnell, here's a headline you might have missed: "Doctor From Hell...Or Godsend." Today, a Philadelphia jury continues its deliberations in the case of Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortionist charged with multiple counts of murder. Until recently, the story had not garnered the attention of the national press. 

Some reporters argued that the lurid details of beheadings, babies born alive, and fetuses flushed down the toilet were depictions too gruesome for front page coverage. The Washington Post's Sarah Kliff said that Gosnell's was just a "local crime." Others said that calls for more coverage and criticism for a lack thereof were politically motivated.
