Free Press in Obama Nation: If You Don’t Like The Message Silence The Messenger
The Obama campaign put forth tremendous effort to block an appearance by Stanley Kurtz on Chicago news-talk station, WGN-AM. WGN is Chicago’s top news-talk station much like WBAL-AM in Baltimore, WMAL-AM in Washington, DC, or WABC-AM in New York. It is owned by the Chicago Tribune, hence the call letters, WGN, “World’s Greatest Newspaper,” in turn a part of Tribune Company, one of the nation’s largest media conglomerates which owns major news papers such as the Los Angeles Times, The Orlando Sentinel, Baltimore Sun, and numerous television station including stations in the top five TV markets as well as nearby in Washington, Philadelphia, and York, PA. WGN is hardly the property of a bunch of right wing zealots. Hardly, examining their newspaper holdings, one would see some of the most extreme examples of liberal bias in the country. Nevertheless, the Obama campaign cannot trust them to interview, Stanley Kurtz.
Stanley Kurtz is a well known conservative intellectual, a Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center an adjunct fellow for the Hudson Institute. Kurtz is also a doctor in social anthropology from Harvard University. He is a frequent contributor as a commentator and highly skilled investigative journalist for the Wall Street Journal, National Review, and Weekly Standard. These are all venerated publications but not allies of the Liberal Media led by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and notably in this case, the Tribune papers, whose radio affiliate in Chicago scheduled to interview him. Kurtz is no flame-throwing right wing extremist. In fact, he’s a Harvard grad, a reputable intellectual with much more substantial credentials than conservative leaning investigative reporters or talk show luminaries like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. Plain and simple, Kurtz is a smart fellow with an impeccable reputation.
Why is Obama upset? Quite simply, Kurtz has researched thoroughly and documented Obama’s close connection with William Ayers, the former key member of the dangerous Weathermen Underground Organization, examining Obama’s relationship with Ayers through their involvement with Annenburg foundation. Stanley Kurtz has also taken a much deeper look at Obama’s relationship with radical Chicago church figure, Jeremiah Wright.
Obama’s efforts are documented by Ben Smith’s article at Politico.com. See following link: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0808/Obama_camp_blasts_National_Review_writer_as_slimy_character_assassin.html
Obviously, the Obama forces are very disturbed to have far more specific details of his tight connections with extreme radicals moving into a new theater, WGN-AM radio represents. First, WGN broadcasts from Chicago, Obama’s own backyard. Second, nothing is more mainstream media than the Tribune organization. The Obama campaign has maintained a constant vigil against its media critics trying to paint them all as extreme right wing talk show hosts or representatives of the dreaded Fox News Channel where conservative commentator, Sean Hannity, has become one of the campaign’s favorite whipping boys.
Here’s the Obama organization’s call to arms as published by the Chicago Tribune. http://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-obama-wgn,0,3744149.story
Barack Obama needs a sympathetic press that will overlook his treachery and lack of experience to continue to engage in the myth making process that made his nomination as the Democrat’s candidacy for President possible. Slowly, the unabridged glowing support of Obama’s efforts by key media outlets is becoming more apparent to the public. The NBC news organization had to pull Keith Olbermann and Chris Mathews from their anchor duties in Campaign 2008 broadcasts for their unabashed enthusiasm and shilling for the Obama/Biden ticket. In their place, they installed fanatic Bush-basher, David Gregory, but still they attempted to create the illusion they were trying to correct a perceived bias. Witnessing last weekend’s all out assault on Sarah Palin by virtually every New York Times columnists last week spare David Brooks including vicious character assassinations by Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd, Obama’s success rests largely on a dedicated media machine that continues to mythologize the inexperienced extremist junior Senator while demonizing anyone in a position to hurt his efforts.
Only in such a setting could Barack Obama, take a statement out of context from a recent John McCain campaign speech where McCain affirmed that the “fundamentals of the American economy are strong” in which McCain was detailing the depth and extent of the current financial crisis, and spin it around to pronounce that McCain is convincing the public that all is well on Wall Street with nothing to worry about on Main Street. This juicy sound byte was pulled for a barrage of malicious blatantly dishonest attack ads by the Obama campaign that completely distorts his opponent’s position. True to form, the press has given Obama a free pass on this ad, not revealing his treacherous manipulation and false assertions.
Not since Richard Nixon has a Presidential figure been so intolerant of any opposition particularly in the media. Further, the extent to which a biased press is crucial to keep Obama’s misinformation campaign alive and well is absolutely disturbing in a free society. To say this resembles how TASS operated in the Soviet Union is a pretty cliché assertion by now, but if the attempts to muzzle Howard Kurtz while at the same time fabricating blatantly false attack ads create yet a even more severe sense of Orwellian paranoia, a mindset that would be life as normal in the Obama Nation.
Every responsible American must wake up to just how dangerous a threat Barack Obama represents to the future of the United States. It’s not simply good enough for Barack Obama to lose the election, but his methodology must be exposed and rejected. More so, his extremist political philosophy and its harm to our civilization must be thoroughly revealed and vanquished.
Meanwhile, stay tuned to most major network news outlets or big city newspapers and see the propaganda charade in full regalia.
HAPPY ENDING: WGN DID BROADCAST THE INTERVIEW!
