Most folks are smart enough to realize the media is in, to quote the title of Bernie Goldberg’s recent book, a slobbering love affair with President Barack Obama, but no one really knew just how much love the mainstream media was lavishing on the guy.

According to the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University, the Obama administration has graced the front page of the New York Times 405 through mid-August of this year totaling 119,678 column inches, or 9,973 column feet of Obama coverage on the Times front page alone. That is almost two miles of front-page coverage in the New York Times alone.

Worse still, many critics of the president have called him out for his almost constant media presence, saying that he spends more time campaigning and stumping his positions than he does running the country. Unfortunately for those who support him, the amount of media coverage he receives and the number of interviews he has given–a staggering 66 as of mid-August–gives credence to this claim. During the same amount of time former President George W. Bush gave 16 interviews and Bill Clinton gave a whopping 6.

Maybe the President would do well to spend a little less time on David Letterman’s couch and a lot more time in his chair in the Oval Office…

Folks, let’s be serious for a moment here, shall we?

One of the latest headlines on HuffPo right now is “Teabaggers’ Ball: Protesters Rally Against Government.”

The Article refers to the protesters as “conservatives.”

The Huffington Post is unable to put the protesters in a box.  The media has created boxes for people:

Conservatives, Right-wing extremists, tea-baggers, rednecks, “The chattering class,” etc,

And when someone doesn’t fit into one of those boxes, they have to do their best to frame the story in such a way that it distorts the truth.

Now, the part about rallying against the government…

The HuffPo People are either too dim to see, or are running scared of, the anger the Average American feels.

These tea parties are not about “limited government” or “protesting against government.”  These events are about Individual Liberty.  Plain and simple.

I like to think that if I were to ask any HuffPo writer if he or she believes in individual liberty, he or she would adamantly say yes.

But, because the Huffington Post is so blinded by Damien’s charisma, they are no longer connected with the American people.

America, the press is a public trust, and when the media fails, we all fail.  When the media is in bed with any administration either ideologically or monetarily, the American people lose.  When it becomes “un-American” to question the government; when the government becomes unjust–by virtue of no longer governing by consent of the governed; or when the government declares itself “God’s partners,” and the media propagates these beliefs and does so without the interests of the citizenry, America, the greatest experiment the world has ever seen, will collapse.

When the media does not properly vet candidates or ideas, America will fail.  End of story.

And, my favorite comment on the HuffPo story…

“What a shame… such a substantial group of disconnected brainstems in one place at the same time, and not enough buses to rush them off for triage and neurological treatment.”

You know, I could say the same thing about HuffPo People…

Dan Rather wants Barry to form a White House commission in order to save media.

Rather:

“A truly free and independent press is the red beating heart of democracy and freedom. This is not something just for journalists to be concerned about, and the loss of jobs and the loss of newspapers, and the diminution of the American press’ traditional role of being the watchdog on power. This is something every citizen should be concerned about.”

Here is a quote from the Aspen Daily News:

“Corporate and political influence on newsrooms, along with the conflation of news and entertainment, has created what Rather called ‘the dumbing down and sleazing up of what we see on the news.’”

Folks, Mr. Rather is willing to let some democratic principals die away in order to save democracy. His argument is patently false. If there is a White House commission, there will be political influence on newsrooms. This sort of commission could make the media an agent of a federal government.

From the Aspen Daily News:

“The free press, as established by the First Amendment to the Constitution, ought to operate as a public trust, not solely as a money-making endeavor, Rather argued, and it’s time the government make an effort to ensure the survival of the free press. If not the government, he suggested, then an organization like the Carnegie Foundation should take it on. Without action, he predicted, America will lose its independent media.”

Yes, I agree, but, as someone who wants to break into Journalism, I don’t want my news outlet to be run by the government. While journalism is a public trust–which many outlets have lost, it needs to be independent from the government. How can the media be an agent of the government while still being an independent media?

Yes, folks.  According to Yahoo News, Tim Geithner wants to impose new guidelines for publicly traded companies to better match pay with long-term performance.

He said that he does not want to put caps on the pay…but that sounds like what they’re going to do…but just call it something else.

What gets me about this is how they support unions and a minimum wage…in short, not being paid by your performance, while wanting that for executives…

Folks, after the jump, there is an email I sent to the Pennsylvania branch of ACORN.  After no response to this email, I sent it to every ACORN email I could find.  I still have not received a response.

The email was regarding an article in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review quoting Ian Phillips saying there was no quota system while registering voters, now, those of you who have been following the ACORN story here on the Report, you know that this is untrue, and that the Project Vote Training manual says to

“set clear numerical hourly expectations, retrain once, and then fire.”

I post this email with a request of you:

Would you please email this email to every ACORN email address you can find?  Demand the truth.  Ladies and gentlemen, this is your duty.  It is your duty to not let these Chicago thugs get away with this racket any longer.

Please read, then copy, then send the email to every ACORN email address you can find.–I’m hoping that they cannot ignore this email if it got the proper volume.

Thank you.

The email is available after the jump…

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is crazy.

There are two hundred-ish companies registered at the address-1024 Elysian Fields Ave–of the business Citizens Consulting (by the way, I’m going to call this company tomorrow):

Here is the website.

Here is a picture of the building at the address…According to Glenn Beck.

Also, on the left, it gives a list of businesses…the ones that are featured…ACORN and the Affiliated Media Foundation?.

And…another organization that is at that address…the SEIU.  SEIU local 100 is located at the same address as ACORN, the Affiliated Media Foundation, and other businesses…

Check out their contact page here.

Now, what is the Affiliated Media Foundation?

Find out after the jump…

I will be following this issue until I get to the bottom of it.  Please check back often.

CNN Reporter interrupts a Tea Party protester and attacks his reasons for protesting.  This woman should be fired!

The reporter’s name is Susan Roesgen.  Call CNN at (404) 878-2276 and tell them that she should be FIRED!

UPDATE:

Check out the SMACKDOWN given to Susan via a protester.

Well, as it turns out, Barry O. isn’t the Supreme Girl I thought he was…

Barack Obama just isn’t as bold or smooth as everyone thought…

His lack of rhetorical skills and ability to remember where he is is overwhelming.

There’s a funny, funny joke after the jump…

Barack Obama, in a stroke if idiocy, thanked himself during a speech on St. Patrick’s Day.  Because of his reliance on a teleprompter, one had to be used for this speech.  The next speaker, an Irish delegate, started reading the same speech…The speeches were not switched out.  Barack Obama jokingly took over, but by then, they had been swapped.  He concluded by thanking himself for inviting everyone.

Good work, fellas!

This KILLS me.

Honest to PETE.

Apparently, the Obama administration did not know until a couple weeks ago that the Insurance failure giant AIG would be paying their lovely executives $165 million.  So much for transparency.  We need to get some god damn Windex or something because this window into the intricate workings of government that was promised us by the Messiah is so scummed up with the likes of Turbo Tax, Glibs, and Bela Pelosi, Barry doesn’t even know what the hell is going on.

This is horrible, folks.  People said Bush was a horrible president, but what will be said of Barry Obama?  If it wasn’t for this God damn “unprecedented” economic colapse, he wouldn’t have a damn thing to blame for his amazing lack of leadership prowess.  First its a “catastrophe,” then its “not as bad as we originally thought.”  Now, this makes blood shoot from my eyes.

Remember when John McCain said that the fundamentals of the economy were sound?  And Barry and his goons read him the riot act?  And MSNBC types said that McCain was an idiot?

WHAT ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH IS OBAMA DOING NOW?

It kills me, folks.  There isn’t enough tape in the world that can keep my head from exploding.

Remember when Obama said that companies like Caterpillar need the economic stimulus to prevent job cuts?  Well, Caterpillar is going to cut 2,454 jobs…

What was the point of the economic stimulus, then?  It artificially inflated the stock market; congrats.  This is excellent.  The poster company for the economic stimulus is cutting jobs.

Is it possible the “little blow” Barry did as a kid has turned his brain to mush?  I think so…

Here’s what you can do, folks.  MELT the phone lines!  Call your congressman and tell him enough is enough.  The government works for you!  If they don’t listen to you, FIRE them!  You’re the boss.
