Video: Rep. Joe Walsh Tells NB Publisher Bozell Media Vested In 'President Not Being A Failure'
The media "are so vested" in Obama "not being a failure that it's going to be amazing to watch the lengths they go to protect him," Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) told NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell in an exclusive for CNSNews.com earlier this week.
"There's going to be a real desperation" as the media ramp up their attacks on conservatives who are taking on the president, Walsh noted.
That's something the Illinois Republican can personally attest to, having sparred with MSNBC's Chris Matthews and Martin Bashir recently.

The liberal MSM are already

Those within the liberal MSM are already going to extremes to protect Obama and it's just going to get worse. One side effect is that some within the liberal MSM are seeing just how extreme it's getting and are breaking ranks. That might be a major factor in defeating Obama in 2012 (e.g. -- enough liberals in the MSM speaking out against Obama).
I have never seen the MSM...

So willing to jump on grenades to prove their loyalty to the one...
Let's remember:
Matthews says he sees his job as a journalist as doing everything he can to make the Obama presidency a success. After he tries to call out Rush for hoping that obama fails!
Sharpton said that having a black president is a challenge: if he finds fault with Mr. Obama, he'd be aiding those who want to destroy him. So he has decided not to criticize the president about anything -- even about black unemployment, which is twice the national rate. Sharpton is "now a trusted White House adviser" and recounts that "given his loyalty and his change from confrontational to accommodating, the administration is rewarding him with access and assignments."
But if all else fails, Dan Rather is on speed dial to create some facts..

all the candidates need to stay away from nbc. Any question asked of them will have racist overtones. The candidates all sounded good last night airing their opinions and do not need nbc to get their opinions spun by the likes of gregory and williams. Their appearances are a waste of time with such bias and bashing so called reporters who push their own radical agenda and try to make Conservatives all appear racist.
I think that the MSM has overloaded their viewers with so much

BS that even those most devoted supporters are waking up. They will continue to repeat the lies over and over to hypnotize the viewer and some of that will work, but many are way too tired of listening to the same lies rehashed.

Libtards will never leave their echo-chamber, but with approval ratings at 42%, I wonder when conservative dems and rhinos will decide that this administration AND the media are both shovel ready.
whose approval rating is 42%?

Media or obama?
After last night, I still see a strong possibility for FOUR MORE YEARS!
Gallup had Obamunist at 42% yesterday

I wasn't aware that the media was subjected to approval ratings. With the incestuos relationship between the media and polling services, I am sure they wouldn't be worth the pixels that comprise them.
As for the liar, instigator and corruptacrat in chief, the local dog catcher has a decent shot at unseating him.
C'mon, folks, it's right there on page 2 of the liberal playbook

Wait until the month or so before the election when he's losing in the polls. It's going to be unreal.

CNN's Wolf Blitzer made a tremendous effort today to show that
Submitted by Rush Fan on Sat, 09/24/2011 - 1:08am.
President Barack Obama is a big supporter of Israel. Blitzer's efforts were an obvious attempt to discount criticism of President Obama as someone who betrayed Israel, as well as to help shore up the Jewish voters that showed their displeasure of Obama's handling of Israel by electing a Republican in a heavily Jewish district in New York.
Blitzer spoke with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today. Here is a sample of the questions he asked the Prime Minister:
BLITZER: Some of the Republican presidential candidates -- Mitt Romney, for example -- have suggested that President Obama threw Israel under the bus. You've heard that. Rick Perry goes even further.
BLITZER: Do you believe President Obama threw Israel under the bus?
BLITZER: Mr. Prime -- a member of your party, the deputy speaker or the Knesset, a member of Likud, came and stood next to Rick Perry on the eve of President Obama's speech at the United Nations General Assembly and effectively endorsed, got involved in domestic American politics.
BLITZER:You wouldn't like that if an American politician went to Israel on the eve of elections and got involved in Israeli politics?
BLITZER: You -- you didn't know he was coming to New York and was going to join Rick Perry at that news conference?
BLITZER: Some have suggested that the U. S. -Israeli military- to- military or security intelligence cooperation today in this Obama administration is better than it's ever been before. Is that true?
NETANYAHU: These are very good relations. We enjoy a lot of cooperation.
BLITZER: Better than ever?
NETANYAHU: You know, I haven't taken a history of it, certainly --
BLITZER: You know the history. You know the history.
BLITZER: I'm going to get to Iran in a second. The Republicans, whether presidential candidates, members of Congress or others say to Israel's friends in the United States, that President Obama is not a friend, what do you say? .

Kudos to Wolf Blitzer for his performance as the best vested media lapdog a President could have.
