What Difference Does It Make? Bogus Out House, State Dept., Media & Sports
What difference does it make? The second term of a president, resembling life, is like a roll of toilet paper when you're ill. The closer you get to the end, the faster the _ _ _ _ goes. Held hostage by an Ariel Castro-like media as manipulative as Jodi Arias, the general public suffers from gullible glorification syndrome. Whatever political position you're in when the _ _ _ _ hits the fan, you just hope the grandstanding "phony scandal" leader of the free world exhibits more backbone than someone raised by an Indonesian nanny who subsequently joined a group of transvestites called the Dancing Dolls.
Unwilling to dance around the topic, a problem persists that the overwhelming majority of slanted reporters chronicling events big and small, including the toy department (sports), write through a liberal prism insulting our common sense and intelligence. Thus the toughest question President Barack Obama faced in a given year from the malpractice minions probably was an ESPN bracket racket inquiry concerning whether his alma mater (Harvard) was going to advance to the second round in NCAA basketball playoff competition. How often did ESPN saps indulge themselves with "Audacity of Hype" presidential picks promoting the NCAA tourney that didn't exactly provide "fair share" equal time from the opposing party? Let me be clear: Don't you wish the media would have "encouraged" him to put as much effort into meeting a budget deadline as he did in providing a bracket, accepting mulligan lessons from Tiger, hosting parties at Club Obama or going on a wildly-expensive "entitlement" trip to Africa?
What difference does it make? Well, when the lame-stream sports media is as incompetent as the general newsroom and editorial department, they foist heroes upon us such as Lance Armstrong, Ryan Braun, Aaron Hernandez, Ben Johnson, Marion Jones, A-Roid, O.J. Simpson, Manti Te'o and Michael Vick. In basketball specifically, hoop media sycophants canonize tattooed Louisville coach Rick Pitino not long after his repulsive restaurant-closing porn-star tryout and Jimmy V is hailed endlessly in history rewrites despite coach Valvano having two different schools - Iona and North Carolina State - vacate NCAA playoff participation. As if enthralled with Pitino catching an enormous marlin and being featured on Maker's Mark bourbon bottles isn't enough, the inept media's latest touchy-feely attempt in social engineering is trying to elevate Jason Collins to Jackie Robinson-like status.
Collins was cited as a "star" by sports know-nothing ABC anchor-ette Diane Sawyer. Was Collins embellished as celestial because he averaged 1.1 points and 1.6 rebounds per game last season, 1.2 ppg and 1.6 rpg over the previous two seasons, 1.5 ppg and 1.8 rpg the previous three seasons, 1.4 ppg and 1.6 rpg the previous four NBA seasons or because he fits nicely into smug Sawyer's social world view the previous four years as Charles Gibson's truth-telling successor? At least sanctimonious Sawyer showed her expertise in softball(s) with hot-air inquiries to Syrian dictator Bashar Assad about iPods and video games.
The myopic media, responding like the NSA in the "least untruthful manner," is so focused on accuracy that much of it offers a one-sided depiction of troubled teen Trayvon Martin as a Skittles-loving (not weed-smoking) model citizen who must have innocently been kicked out of his home and school perhaps because he was fond of hanging around full-fledged liars who can't read cursive (eloquent to MSNBC minions) coupled with his flaws including prejudiced thinking that Hispanics (White-Hispanic to appease race hustlers) could become "creepy Crackers." Fueled by hoodie-donning intellectual heavyweights such as the Miami Heat, a reported $1 million-plus wrongful death settlement with a homeowners association was a "justice" byproduct of the demise of the parents' son apparently enamored with a "Gangsta" culture.
Of course, it's all about just one side of the political spectrum getting along with the other to the Amen progressive "pew" from politically-correct pundits plus gaily being who you are in a permissive society. What a stunner that Collins was promptly slated to join first lady Michelle Obama at a high-fiving Democratic fundraiser between her vacation junkets saving taxpayer resources by going on a separate flight from her husband. But this fundraiser was a genuine political spontaneous reaction! Will Collins courageously dwell on the No. 98, which is about the number of months he fraudulently strung his fiancée along (see Cosmopolitan feature on fellow Stanford product Carolyn Moos)? Will the courageous New Jersey Nets sign Moos to a contract as the first women's player in the NBA if Collins doesn't help inspire his teammates more than newbie coach Jason Kidd?
What difference does it make? By any measure, the puff-piece enemies of illumination failed to fully vett Obama and his leftist fantasies before he became POTUS other than perhaps focusing on an alleged hoop prowess. But as NBA Commissioner David Stern said in jest about Obama's basketball background: "He thinks he's better than he really is." Although probably not intentional, Stern's dispassionate assessment also summarizes Obama's presidency. At the risk of being the next U.S. citizen subject to a drone strike, it should be emphasized that, when you don't toe the fictional party line of the high-and-mighty real sideshow, you become a demoted diplomat, face intimidation tactics having your phone records seized or are targeted by going on the abuse-of-power IRS enemies list (a/k/a "horrible customer service"). Astonishingly, the staging-question IRS is "used" as a staging area by West Wing wackos to drive Obamacare down our throats via the same wily _itch with no integrity but plenty of bonus money. While the disgraced I-R-ME$$ official is feeding at the public servant trough (six-figure retirement) after previously harassing the Christian Coalition while with the FEC, someone needs to slow "learn her" by forcing haughty Ms. 5th to take a remedial ethics class commencing with the Golden Rule.
Portraying a murderous attack in Benghazi, Libya, as if it occurred in the same war as the Battle of the Bulge, it might be old news to "stylistic" Out House spokesperson Jay Blarney while the ex-TIME magazine Washington chief does his best zero-credibility imitation of Joseph Goebbels with a "hope and change (the topic)" routine. Seems as if journalistic jewel Jay, who implied the IRS apologized for "not" doing something wrong, and his unprincipled ilk give adult Americans in a tomb for eight months the same shoddy treatment they do a baby in a womb for a similar time frame. But a classic example of the blame game and absence of accountability from the meek media was when the feds were more concerned with detaining some obscure producer of an anti-Islamic film making light of the prophet Mohammed. At least the dereliction-of-duty dunderheads such as CIA taxpayer-paid liar Mike More-ill didn't pull out the workplace-violence or man-made disaster card again during this convenient-truth process.
What difference does it make? Well, the stonewalling Obama Administration - either grossly incompetent or purposefully in "crude and disgusting" fraud - dealt with a terrorist assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi by shamelessly standing in front of caskets at an airport hangar (plus the White House press corps, the U.N. and national politically-oriented shows such as Meet the Depressed) offering an orchestrated al-Qaeda on-the-run narrative claiming the nondescript video was responsible for the murder of the American ambassador and three other Americans. Their most despicable act was regurgitating the same outrageous ruse face-to-face to grieving family members while focusing more on securing "second" non-disclosure agreements from survivors. How authentic or outright evil were those narcissistic embraces from Big Balls Biden and fellow fatal finaglers? Any miserable individual who emphasized a movie lie in one-on-one conversations with mourners doesn't possess the dignity worthy of setting foot on White House grounds with a pooper scooper.
Incredibly, a Navy SEAL among the deceased violated stand-down orders to help save numerous individuals at the death-trap embassy and then fought the terrorists for 7 1/2 hours while his pleas for backup at a nearby annex were ignored by government officials real-time watching events unfold. Weeks later, the evasive apologist-in-chief and cowardly cronies were still striving to supply a cogent response to their deflect-and-deny sacrificial-lamb inaction all for the sake of propping up progressive policies. Where's a photo of the vaunted Obama Team deliberating at least 7 1/2 minutes during the Benghazi attack? Was Mr. Teleprompter even there at all to provide any input possibly "sending in the cavalry"? Bracing for a cross-country campaign trip, did malingerer "That's Not What We Do" go to bed while brave Americans were savaged or is it indeed "an irrelevant fact" less important than raising funds in Las Vegas? If not, then be transparent enough to at least conduct a stand-up, man-up press conference detailing what you did do during the "acting stupidly" stand-down. The Sgt. Schultz "I know nothing!" ploy isn't very becoming for an infallible commander-in-chief as it spills over to the FBI and all of the terribly-flawed feet-of-clay mercenary solders surrounding him with their evolving web of deceit.
Infected by pop culture, reality shows, Al Bore's global-warming hoax and thrills going up noxious newscasters legs, the average shallow American dwells on Angelina Jolie's mammary glands, forlorn Amanda Knox's knife collection, Hollyweird and Gitmo hunger strikers but can't spell Benghazi or even know which continent it's located. When not exploiting children as human shields for an assortment of altruistic motives, POTUS didn't mind hiding behind frequent-flyer Hillary Clinton's pants suit via a YouTube film fabrication as her State Department lawyer told witnesses not to speak to House investigators. If you had a family member in dire straits pleading for help, would you rather summon support from Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary's hubris or Tyrone Woods? Hitting closer to home in raw terms, who would you rather have as a neighbor because of comparable ethical and moral values?
What difference does it make? There are ample reasons why the majority of Americans fail to have confidence in a biased mass media to report the news fully, accurately and fairly. The major TV networks and two principal liberal rags (New York Slimes and Washington Compost) refused to give coverage to a Fox News report acknowledging the Obama Administration denied aid multiple times to Americans attacked and murdered by terrorists in Benghazi on September 11 of all days. If they withheld evidence (such as emails from the National Security Advisor's office telling a counter-terrorism unit to stand down), they're as corrupt in a cover-up as the administration's self-righteous Siskel & Ebert wannabees more concerned with monitoring content of "Bible-clinger" prayers, doctoring talking points, collective salvation promotion and muzzling Benghazi survivors (forced to sign non-disclosure agreements) than transparency with the public. And now we have the prospect of the incompetent IRS enforcing Obamacare if its $1 billion investment enrolling "millions" ever functions properly.
A colossal collection of cartoonish condescending clowns fail to comprehend they work for us; not the other way around. How else do you explain the moral compass of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen See-Soul-less, too busy to testify before Congress but not to attend a gala, failing to help a young girl secure a lung transplant years after the "human servant" prolonged her political life by accepting significant donations in Kansas from an abortion doctor known as Tiller the Baby Killer? Have these pathetic "public servants" any shame or moral compass? This is supposed to be a nation of laws; not of men. Why wasn't there even one honorable IRS employee step forward as a whistleblower about the keep-your-faith-to-yourself agency's targeting of outstanding organizations such as Billy Graham's "mean-spirited" ministries?
Why didn't the lapdog media do its job and press the Benghazi issue providing accountable answers to the many questions accuring about what precisely occurred in the Celebrity-in-Chief's chamber? Even setting aside "fast-and-furious" DOJ activity and disgusting IRS transgressions, why do the vast majority of the media remain so disinterested in pursuing the litany of "jaw-dropping" misstatements and dissembling regarding what was known before and after the Benghazi horror? It wasn't because the misfit media was too busy in Philly prepping for coverage of the chilling capital case carnage in the Dr. Gosnell abortion trial or delving into the abuses of an arrogant in-over-his-head AG and party-animal IRS targeting conservative groups plus a network (Fox) more conservative (conspiratorial to loony leftists) than its counterparts.
What difference does it make? Al Jazeera becomes more objective in its coverage of U.S. politics than incestuous AP (Administration's Press), ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC (More Socialist Nonsense By Commentators) and CNN (Contemptible News Network when moderator Candy Crony became a shameless shill as a virtual member of presidential debate team). In addition to taxpayers underwriting a welfare-receiving terrorist clan in Boston to the tune of more than $100,000 and paying in excess of $300,000 to moronic Major Nidal Hasan while waiting for trial since the felonious Fort Hood shooting, we finance fastidious NPR (National Puke Radio), which is such a gigantic joke that "All Things Considered" aired no Benghazi features the weekend after compelling Congressional testimony but did allot time to "consider" riveting rhino horns trading. It doesn't seem as if the "All Things" mindset has changed much since a former co-host's husband worked for the presidential campaigns of John Kerry and Obama.
Everywhere you turn, there is an immeasurable stain on a presidency similar to the former IRS chief's wife toiling for a leftist campaign finance reform group. Presidents of ABC and NBC News have siblings working at the White House with ties to Benghazi and CNN's deputy bureau chief is married to an aide for Hillary Clinton. NBC News senior political editor Mark Murray is married to an Obama official. All "Rhodes" at CBS lead to the network's prez being the brother of Mr. Accountability's deputy national security adviser and "mind-melding" speechwriter. Then, CBS hired former Obama chief of staff Bill Daley as a contributor while respected investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson wanted out of her contract. A prime example of the seamless transition for in-the-tank media was Linda Douglass, who became communications director for the Oval Office's Health Reform Office after serving as ABC's chief congressional correspondent. The stench from such BS shouldn't have been surprising insofar as her lawyer/husband was a big fundraiser for BO.
You can't possibly make up all of this conflict-of-interest journalistic junk. The "Let's Move" (in together) even extends into the kitchen where White House chef Sam Kass was engaged to dim-bulb MSLSD host-ette Alex Wagner. Does she get organic-food leftovers from Michelle's gorgeous garden? White House Press Secretary/Carnival Barker Jay Carney's wife is Claire Shipman, a senior national correspondent for ABC. Blatant bias stemming from the "Band of Brothers and Sisters" also includes the Washington Post's justice department reporter married to the general counsel of the Department of Human Services, CNN's deputy Washington bureau chief married to an ex-deputy secretary of state under Shrillary Rotten, Huffington Post political editor and ex-Newsweek flack Sam Stein's spouse working for White House and NPR's White House correspondent married to a lawyer in the White House counsel's office. The symbolic evacuation from the White House press room because of smoke must have stemmed from deep-background Carney trying to blow smoke up the media's sorry butt with an off-the-record briefing for selected stenographers. Obstructing justice he was sworn to uphold, the phony AG was the next nefarious nabob to deploy a farcical off-the-record stench-fest pussyfooting around behind closed doors.
In an effort to help the buffoonish media shine the light of truth on the Benghazi bungling and scrubbed-a-dozen-times talking points, following are basic "who/what/when/why/where" questions for which the public deserves answers via the president's acolytes:
* Who changed the original talking points and concocted "the (fanciful) spontaneous reaction" to a YouTube video explanation for the attack (framed before the final two deaths) and did the same individual help orchestrate a coordinated response at various venues in the days and weeks immediately following said attack?
* What portion of the entire 7 1/2 hours of the attack did POTUS himself spend in the Situation Room and was he directly involved with multiple "stand-down" orders while the attacks were in place? Perhaps he was too busy playing Spades again with body man Reggie Love.
* When precisely did POTUS and/or his national security staff first become aware that an attack was underway at the Benghazi compound?
* Why was the Obama Administration's response so lax despite an unmanned drone providing real-time live video feed of the scene?
* Where is evidence of the "Betray Us" administration's responses to repeated pleas to strengthen security for Americans in Libya, not only from the State Department security chief and man on the ground in charge of security, but from the ambassador?
In the previous election cycle, NBC's slobbering Brian "Save the Tin Foil" Williams, the self-proclaimed patriot, was fond of displaying adoring news magazine "halo" covers to Obama and then asking him if his mother would have liked the image. Since Williams is in dire need of a drool bucket, perhaps one of his counterparts who isn't certified Obama Orgasmic should brandish photos of the murdered Americans in front of POTUS and ask him if he sleeps well at night knowing the Messiah did everything humanly possible before and during the attack to protect and help these hero sons of steadfast mothers. The Drone Ranger could also be asked what did give-me-a-break trusted "comrade" Shrillary Rotten mean when the former Secretary of State callously said during testimony: "What difference does it make?" Insofar as she wasn't interviewed by the less-than-thorough accountability review board, the difference could be a little honesty with the country's citizens vs. cover-up deception with much of the misguided media serving as corrupt accomplices.
How do you distinguish Dumb from Dumber from Dumbest as the government goofballs reveal they would rather focus their energy on invoking the 5th Amendment by grifters, embracing illegal immigrants, attending line-dancing conferences at taxpayers' expense, underwriting Sandra Flukey's birth control, sanctioning gays in the Boy Scouts, monitoring everyone's phone calls including the Pope, bullying insurance companies to keep them quiet, ordering federal workers to spy on each other and giving Miranda rights to terrorists while profiling patriot, pro-life plus Tea Party affiliates? How about giving the nation one huge "happiness" conference by dismantling the IRS? In a sick version of Obama "care," the media seems as careless in unearthing authentic autopsy results for a virtually defenseless Ambassador Stevens as the administration is in resolutely rendering justice to the incorrigible Islamic perpetrators.
Has the idolatry-practicing media, with fawning NBC planning a mini-series on Hillary Clinton before backing off on the project, contrasted "equal-protection-under-the-law" security measures for Ambassador Stevens compared to her when she went overseas? Did Eleanor Roosevelt give Her Thighness seance insight on baking cookies, covering up a sex and prostitution probe on her watch or how mostly unseen movie trailers incite Muslims? Seemingly, it's always someone else's fault with this self-absorbed crowd, looking as phony as actress Diane Lane playing the role of Shrillary - which is akin to George Clooney playing the role of Dick Vitale. It takes-a-village idiot such as truth deflector Victoria "F**k the EU!" Nuland to believe her crutch, but perhaps it is simply the vast right-wing conspiracy adding to a seemingly never-ending list including Filegate, Sandy Burglar "lifting" National Archives classified documents, Buddhist Templegate, Sick Willie's intern cigar, Travelgate, Vince Foster's suicide, Lippogate, Marc Rich's pardon, Lootergate, wagging the dog, Vandalgate, etc., etc., etc.
The "buck" can't find any place to stop at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Neither the emperor nor his underlings have any clothes or complete candor as the IRS commissioner only remembers one Easter Egg roll among his excessive 157 White House visits. Amid trying to discern State Department protocol during an attack, there was a preposterous assertion from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta that "assets couldn't get there (Benghazi) in time." Is patronizing Panetta also commiserating with an omniscient Eleanor regarding upper-brass orders to save Americans? How did he know with such authority the length of "time" the siege would take as they fought for their lives? Maybe he was too busy on other travel-time matters planning his next cross-country commute home to California at tax-payer expense on military jets. Did this leech-filled leadership just cut their losses and "run" (let them die) rather than risk additional casualties?
What difference does it make? Dan Rather's blather at CBS frequently ended with an inane reference to "courage." Was that a trait exhibited by CBS when it concealed footage for an extended period from a 60 Minutes interview with Obama where he clearly refused to categorize the Benghazi attack as an act of terror? Of course, curious George Stephanopoulos is deemed a journalistic jewel by ABC after earning his spurs as a political hack for the petulant Clintons disparaging one female after another. Eschewing ethics and honor, is this the best and most honest our country can produce in the newsrooms and Oval Office as they stretch the truth as much as excuse-ridden Nanny Pathetic does her face? In helping "inform" the public, all we could expect from the brave "never-seen-you-lose" media was something like: "Will Harvard return to the NCAA Tournament next season?"
The biggest loser over the last couple of election cycles is the mangy media serving as little more than the Praetorian Guard for liberal lunacy praising Planned Parenthood and its accompanying neck-snipping murders of innocent babies while smearing whistleblowers crestfallen over the "abandoned" murders of innocent colleagues. Has an enterprising sports reporter ever evaluated how many abortions have been sanctioned by college basketball coaches so female players could remain on the court and male players wouldn't be hampered by becoming deadbeat dads (see Duke All-American J.J. Redick's abortion contract with a model)? No, not when the men's championship coach has an extortion trial, end-of-the-pack Kentucky Derby horse, limited-edition bourbon bottle, meaningful marlin, favorite son, Lexus dealership and testimonial tattoo to cover.
Americans deserve an honest government covered by a media doing more than just being PRESStitutes for POTUS. Although his publication seemed to always go out of its way to support the Obama Administration, it's a mite unnerving that former Princeton hoopster Richard Stengel seems to make a smooth transition from managing editor of Time magazine to under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs at the State Department. As shamelessly one-sided as conservatives have asserted for years, excessive media malpractice finally discarded the pretense of objectivity. Once and for all, they have been unmasked as aggressive advocates; not adversarial journalists. According to a Gallup poll, fewer than 1/4 of American adults have "a great deal" of confidence in newspapers and television news as red lines behind yellow streaks.
The good news is that the influence-peddling gig for the reprehensible broadcast networks, major daily newspapers and newsweeklies is nearly expired because the less-than-honest brokers are gutless wonders shackled by a business model in free-fall (see CNN unraveling). Whether it's Newsweek, New York magazine, Pro Football Weekly, Spin, The Sporting News, Talk magazine, 30 AOL brands after Huffington Post "gold-digger" merger or debt-ridden dailies, good riddance to the fourth-rate estate and don't let death's door hit you in your contemptible can on the way out! When the putrid press as we know it is put out to pasture (including many sports sandboxes), what difference does it make?
