NB Publisher Bozell Slams Media for Ignoring or Downplaying Solyndra Scandal
Editor's Note: What follows is a statement NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell released this afternoon reacting to the findings of a Media Research Center study on the media's Solyndra coverage.
ABC, CBS and NBC are aiding and abetting in the cover-up of an outrageous scandal linked directly to Obama and his failed economic policies. Even the uber liberal New York Times could not ignore this outrage, spotlighting it on their front page this weekend. Yet these networks are intentionally minimizing coverage to avoid reporting the failure and scandal that resulted under Obama’s watch for the same stimulus package they hailed in 2009.
What further compounds the hypocrisy of ignoring this scandal is the excessive, glowing coverage these same networks are giving the Occupy Wall Street protests. While they gather to oppose "corporate greed," the media quietly dismiss the most outrageous scandal in years – and financed by their taxpaying dollars.

Is that Spanish for "cylinder"?? -the average TV news consumer.
I'd love to see Leno do a "man on the street" to find out how many people know what "Solyndra" is, vs. how many know what "Niggerhead" is.
I have no way or proving this

I have no way or proving this but with so many execs at CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN in tight with the Obama administration it would not surprise me in the least if word came from those execs to senior producers to bury the story.
Still fighting... just not for the corrupt

Keep mailing it in, you shameless cowards.
Keep up the bootlicking for Comrade Downgrade.
Keep touting the class warfare and phony populist rhetoric of this floppy-earred Communist.
Keep disparaging the legitimate views of the conservatives in this culture.
Keep calling anybody who criticizes Comrade Zero racists.
Keep it up, you phony bunch of Limousine Liberals, and I can only hope that YOU personally will get exactly what YOU deserve...
When the US becomes a third world nation and the fruits of capitalism and self-achievement are no longer available, and you can no longer insulate yourselves from the horrid stinking masses you claim to side with...
Let's see how much you want to give up YOUR cushy lifestyle so that "everybody can get ahead"...
And when we "spread the wealth around", let's see just how much YOU like it when we spread YOUR wealth around, bitches!

Don't you know, Mr. Bozell, there is no media bias? The MSM tells me so.
Ummmm....

Financed by WHO'S taxpaying dollars? I rather expect it's your's and mine, I'm quite sure that vast majority of those protesters pay little or no taxes.
Probably not the last

How many other "green" outfits are there which will never fly despite oodles of subsidies because the whole global warming fad is a gigantic scam to start with?
Even Enron was among them, touting their natural gas assets as "cleaner" than coal or oil.
GLOBAL WARMING - authoritarian, rather than authoritative, science
CLIMATEGATE - the revelation that the pseudo-scientists at East Anglia University know just as much about the atmosphere as Harvard law professors know about the Constitution
