RAW STORY THE NEW HUFF-PO OF OBAMA NATION

While CNN, MSNBC and at times even Fox News have for years branded conservative blogs and radio as laden with whacko, extreme and even racist rhetoric, they often ignore so-called “legitimate” websites that obfuscate the truth and tweak headlines to get attention.

Media Matters and Huffington Post are now roundly recognized by honest observers as liberal front sites, but there is a relatively new website that is garnering almost no attention for its biased coverage.

Raw Story, is a hot website purporting itself as an alternative news site. On an average day the site boasts 0ver 400,000 readers, and on a “good day” it can reach more than a quarter million, say its purveyors.

This is how Raw Story describes itself:

The Raw Story is an alternative news nexus. We draw upon a panoply of news sources and select those stories we think most intriguing to an audience seeking news underplayed by the mainstream media.
At the core, our goal is to unearth and spotlight stories underplayed by the popular press, in particular those which highlight betterment and open people’s eyes to injustice throughout the world.

Pardon Moi? Open people’s eyes? Zzzzz.

Now let’s look at some recent headlines from RS:

Newly-Minted Sen. Scott Brown refuses Palin, Tea Party invite

This particular “underplayed” story was the front-page headline of the Boston Herald, and while RS includes the comma after Sarah Palin’s surname, the clear implication is that Brown snubbed a personal invitation by the former governor. The article tells a different story. It tells us what we’ve all known for months: that Scott Brown is essentially a Democrat with a red tie and a pickup truck. The accompanying photo depicts Palin with her mouth agape, insulted over Brown’s snub. Stupid Republicans that help the Left tear down their leaders should love this one.

Here are a few other “underplayed” stories from Raw News’ panoply of sources:

Tina Fey ‘announces’ the Sarah Palin television network
This one wants us to know that, surprise! Sarah Palin is a “half-term” governor, and that Tina Faye makes her look even dumber than RS already knows she is. That is certain to highlight our betterment. I feel highlighted already. And, as for Faye? In her dreams!

Bachmann’s latest invention: Obama has nationalized 51% of the economy
Pardon that dizzy broad from the land of Jesse “the Brain” Ventura for stating the obvious. Again, notice the photo.

Huckabee compares gay marriage to incest, polygamy, drug use
Another goofy picture. Huckabee has been abundantly clear on his belief that homosexuality is wrong, yet to disagree with the Left is “dangerous and stupid.” U-GO Mikey!

Russian leader gently snubs Bush: ‘Obama is a thinker’
In this one, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was undoubtedly speaking of Bush, although he never mentions his name. But talk about great thinkers, it must have taken enormous intellectual prowess to become ex-KGB chief Vladimir Putin’s puppet.

Did Kissinger allow assassinations? That’s the RS Headline; here is the actual headline:
Kissinger Rescinded Warning Against Condor Assassinations
Right! We can only wish the Nixon-Ford administrations had been bright enough to whack some of these nuts.

KKK membership growing again?
This one is from one of the “panoply of news sources” RS draws from, Think Progress.org – read Think Liberal Progress – and is specifically designed to imply that the Klan is closely connected with the Tea Party.

With the entire “mainstream” media to support it, the leftist blogosphere spends the lion share of every day spewing out propaganda bent on misleading the American public. Raw Story is just another liberal shill website filled with something that smells more like raw sewage.

WHY DID OBAMA MYSTEROUSLY DITCH HIS PRESS POOL?

UPDATE: SOCCER GAME DIDN’T EXIST?

THIS FROM REDSTATE.COM
By the way, this is what Obama looks like at a soccer game. Still no pictures–even two days later. Where did the President go? Where is the media? Considering we just disarmed to Russia and Poland’s President and 95 others were killed hours before, and Kyrgystan’s government was just overthrown should raise even more questions.

Update: By the way, this is what Obama looks like at a soccer game. Still no pictures–even two days later. Where did the President go? Where is the media? Considering we just disarmed to Russia and Poland’s President and 95 others were killed hours before, and Kyrgystan’s government was just overthrown should raise even more questions.

President Obama mysteriously broke years of protocol yesterday by ditching the small White House press pool that moves with him everywhere he travels.

The maneuver appears to have been an intentional effort to deceive his entourage, since, when the troupe was gathered at the White House 23 minutes after he departed, Obama’s press spokesman, Josh Ernest, said, “The president decided this morning to attend his daughter’s soccer game. The pool was assembled as soon as possible to be there as well.”

This seemingly benign breach of protocol has powerful implications. The President dumped his press contingent to attend a school soccer game for one of his daughters? Says who? Well, says the White House … and only the White House.

In fairness to the President, perhaps he did indeed attend his daughter’s soccer game. He probably did. But anyone who thinks this supposed innocuous bit of chicanery is not serious misses the larger point. Half of the American people – people who are still citizens of this country – no longer trust him. Many believe he has an un-American agenda.

The President of the United States serves at the pleasure of the people; his time belongs to us. The media, regardless of how politically corrupt and biased (and they have been shameful in not vetting this man), are America’s eyes and ears in regard to the President’s travels.

For all – and this is taking the argument to the extreme – for all we know, the President met with Osama bin Laden yesterday morning. For all we know, he ceded his presidential powers to a cabal intending to take over the country.

Does anyone actually believe he did such a thing? Well, some probably do, but no reasonable person would. But, in any case, we don’t know. For more than an hour yesterday morning the President of the United States disappeared.

Other presidents have traveled, even abroad, on clandestine missions. But the press has never been in the dark. In situations where the Commander-In-Chief’s life could be in danger the press remains silent until they are advised the details can be made available to the American people.

Barack Obama’s behavior is becoming more than slipshod and in-your-face arrogant – it is becoming downright Orwellian. Never in history has any president treated the American people with such disdain. This latest insult demonstrates the total lack of regard this president has for those who elected him to the highest and most powerful office in the world.

Limbaugh: Obama Regime Purposely Governing Against Will of People

“Never in my life have I seen a regime like this, governing against the will of the people, purposely,” Rush Limbaugh said in an interview with Washington Examiner Opinion columnist Byron York this morning. “I have never seen the media so supportive of a regime amassing so much power. And I have never known as many people who literally fear for the future of the country.”

The radio icon was responding to President Barack Obama’s (yes, yet another one) interview with CBS anchor and Obama surrogate Harry Smith, in which the President attacks Limbaugh and Fox News firebrand Glenn Beck.

Smith: “I’ve been listening to talk radio … the kindest of terms you’re referred to … ah … out in America … is a socialist … ah … the worst I’ve heard is … Nazi. … Are you aware of the enmity that crosses the airwaves and that people have made part of their daily conversations about you?”

Obama: “I can go to my right, but I prefer my left … ” Oops! That was another part of the interview, when Obama and his adoring B-ball buddy, Smith, were shooting some hoops.

Limbaugh goes on to point say: “The point is not that listeners are feeling anxiety about the economy, although many undoubtedly are. It’s that they are feeling anxiety about the Obama agenda.”

Perhaps more disturbing than Obama’s blitzkrieg-like seizure of as much as 51% of the U.S. economy is that, despite public outcries against his actions, the President is downright arrogant about it. Hence the, “I can go to my left … ” comment.

And Democratic Party leaders who helped ram through the multi-trillion-dollar ObamaCare scam are positively ebullient. York goes onto cite another opinion article he penned in which Senator Max Baucus says:

“Health reform is ‘an income shift,” Democratic Sen. Max Baucus said on March 25. “It is a shift, a leveling, to help lower income, middle income Americans.” Baucus went on to say, “the maldistribution of income in America has gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy, and the middle income class is left behind.”

Former DNC chair Howard Dean also recently admitted that the Democrat’s true health care motive was redistribution of wealth, Dean stating, “… you have to have some redistribution….”

This, Obama’s latest assault on talk radio, is not wordplay. He will make an all out effort to silence talk radio and Internet conservatives in coming months with a redo of the old Fairness Doctrine.
