As I’m sure you guessed, and as many of us predicted they would, our predictable mainstream media are now in full-blown “re-elect President Obama” mode, and they aren’t afraid to show it. Here are a few examples of what they felt was “important” to report this week related to President Obama, Mitt Romney, and Campaign 2012:
Tim Graham, Newsbusters – WashPost Uses Romney Sons’ Interview on ‘Conan’ to Recount Its Teenage-Haircut-Hazing Expose [1] (But Obama’s past is strictly off limits.)
Staff, Free Beacon – Politico Reporter: Romney Only Comfortable Around “White Folks” [2] (“Raaaaaaaacism” meme full steam ahead!)
Fox News, courtesy of SooperMexican [3] – NBC edits Romney rally speech to portray candidate as out of touch [4]. This happened on “Andrea Mitchell Reports” and Mitchell herself played [5] the full version of the video a couple of days later without directly addressing the issue. Surprise.
Kyle Drennen, Newsbusters – NBC’s Williams Dismisses Holder Contempt Vote: ‘Just Looks Like More of Our Broken Politics’ [6] (Let’s ask slain border patrol agent Brian Terry’s family if they believe [7] Fast and Furious represents nothing more than an example of “our broken politics.”)
John Nolte, Breitbart.com – Politico Reporter Tweets Ann Romney Penis Joke [8] (Update: Reporter has since been suspended [9])
That was just a sampling. Prepare yourself. There is much more out there, and much more coming in the months ahead — especially as polls show Romney either gaining on Obama or leading.
