The media has certainly been busy carrying water for Team Obama.
- In addition to rows of (supposedly unbiased, objective) reporters and journalists standing and cheering for Obama at campaign stops that they are supposed to be covering as media professsionals…
- In addition to television pundits admitting that they get chills up and down their legs just thinking about Obama…
- In addition to the MSM parroting Obama campaign talking points without doing a moments actual journalism…
In addition to that…the biggest story is what the media isn’t reporting — and perhaps an equally big story should be why they aren’t reporting it (duh…because they are trying to get Obama elected, rather than seek the truth — the biggest story is Obama lying about and covering up his long and close relationship with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers.
Stanly Kurtz has been busy digging through box after box of minutes from the time that Barack served as chairman of Ayer’s Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
Apparently, though it’s open to all journalists to do the same, Kurtz has been all alone sifting through those boxes. Nobody from the NY Times. Nobody from the Washington Post. And certainly nobody from MSNBC — which is just as well, as “reporters” from that television tabloid would be more likely to destroy records than to report on them.
Go read Kurtz’ latest piece today, Founding Brothers:
It appears that Ayers took a keen interest in Obama at a time when Obama was nothing more than, as Stanley puts it, “a young and inexperienced lawyer.” Why? There are tens of thousands of young and inexperienced lawyers in Chicago. What did Ayers see in (or hear from) Obama that caused the former to take such an interest in him?
Stanley shows that there’s a reasonable probability that Ayers plucked Obama from obscurity to chair the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (”CAC”). Then, after working together on the CAC and directing millions to radical organizations, Ayers hosted Obama’s political coming out party. That certainly looks more like a mentor-protégé relationship than a tenuous relationship between two guys who happen to live in the same neighborhood.
The story of a why an unrepentant terrorist has such a close relationship with a presidential candidate should have reporters swarming over the Obama campaign demanding answers.
If you’ve been following Kurtz reporting and investigation into Obama/Ayers and the Annenberg Challenge, it’s pretty obvious why Obama is trying to downplay it — not so much because of his poor choice in friends and mentors — but because of the radical educational programs (horribley failed programs at that) that Obama and Ayers were pushing.
