Tony Blankely has a sadly true and powerful denunciation of the media has lapdog and Goebbels-like fictionizers for the Obama campaign.

The mainstream media ruthlessly and endlessly repeat any McCain gaffes while ignoring Obama gaffes. You have to go to weird little Web sites to see all the stammering and stuttering that Obama needs before getting out a sentence fragment or two. But all you see on the networks is an eventually clear sentence from Obama. You don’t see Obama’s ludicrous gaffe that Iran is a tiny country and no threat to us. Nor his 57 American states gaffe. Nor his forgetting, if he ever knew, that Russia has a veto in the U.N. Nor his whining and puerile “come on” when he is being challenged. This is the kind of editing one would expect from Goebbels’ disciples, not Cronkite’s.

More appalling, a skit on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” last weekend suggested that Gov. Palin’s husband had sex with his own daughters. That show was written with the assistance of Al Franken, Democratic Party candidate in Minnesota for the U.S. Senate. Talk about incest.

But worse than all the unfair and distorted reporting and image projecting are the shocking gaps in Obama’s life that are not reported at all. The major media simply have not reported on Obama’s two years at New York’s Columbia University, where, among other things, he lived a mere quarter-mile from former terrorist Bill Ayers. Later, they both ended up as neighbors and associates in Chicago. Obama denies more than a passing relationship with Ayers. Should the media be curious? In only two weeks, the media have focused on all the colleges Gov. Palin has attended, her husband’s driving habits 20 years ago, and the close criticism of the political opponents Gov. Palin had when she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

But in two years, they haven’t bothered to see how close Obama was with the terrorist Ayers.

It is a pathetic crumbling of what was once journalism. Journalists are now part of the problem in America’s government. They are a key element of the Political Industrial Complex which has strangle hold on the levers of power and are barring any of “We The People” from getting to those levers. You can see it in how they have reacted to Sarah Palin, being just a commoner from the backwoods.

80% of us know this country is on the wrong track. But it is not left or right policies, it is the idiots who have the reigns of power and refuse to listen to those of us who hired them. The people in DC say and do things we normal rubes out here outside the DC beltway could never do in our jobs (and never would do anyway – we have too much respect and professionalism to stoop to the levels of the pols and talking heads and ‘media’ hot heads).

And how many more corrupt Congressman do we have to put up with who have taken bribes, stashed $100K in there freezer or evaded their tax responsibilities? How many more Pulitzers are going to go out for exposing our anti-terrorist defenses? You know what, I think Sarah Palin and John McCain represent the only hope “We The People” have for bringing government back under control. Obama has proven he is allied with the Poltical Industrial Complex – and their junkyard dogs the news media. So clearly he is NOT for change, he is simply a fictional figure created by the far left. And I think before this race is done America will wake up to that fact.
