More Proof That The Media is Leftwing...

[PoliticalChic]

...although, with the indelibility of indoctrination that we see in posts every day, our Left wing buds will still carry on that the media isn't a tool of Liberalism, Inc.

Still....in the optimistic attempt to educate.....check this out:


"Networks, Major Papers Skip State Department Censorship of Fox News Q&A Video
In the national TV-news world, only Fox News reported that Obama national-security communications whiz Ben Rhodes told The New York Times he created an “echo chamber” with a compliant national media to promote the Iran arms deal, even misleading the public as to when those talks began.

The same only-Fox-cares pattern happened after Fox diplomatic correspondent James Rosen reported that the State Department edited out an on-camera admission by Psaki in 2013 that it was necessary for the Obama administration to lie to reporters about negotating with Iran, since “diplomacy requires privacy to progress.” As Rosen explained on Monday’s Special Report:

ROSEN: Late today we discovered that the State Department's video of its December 2, 2013 press briefing at which I confronted spokesperson Jen Psaki about the false statement made by her predecessor Victoria Nuland, the one you saw in my story tonight has itself with the use of a white flash, been deleted from both the State Department's official Web site and from its YouTube channel. In that exchange, Psaki effectively admitted that the administration had lied to me because the diplomacy needed, quote, "privacy." The State Department told me just moments ago it cannot explain this deletion and is working to restore the excised material."

...and yet it seems the media isn't buying the WH version of the "edit". I guess they want some token amount of honesty in journalism.

2.Compared ".... it to an earlier MRCTV scoop last month where the White House edited out French president Francois Hollande telling President Obama that “Islamist terrorism” is the root of terrorism today. That editing job, like the Psaki edit,was also ignoredby the liberal networks and by major newspapers.

One can easily guess that liberals in the so-called "mainstream media" newsrooms tell each other "That's a Fox story," with about the same tone as a Maitre D' at Le Cirque discussing the new menu item at McDonald's."

If we had the free and unbiased press envisioned in the first amendment.....Liberalism/Progressivism would have long ago ended in the dust bin of history.

But....but.........he does have a "foreign policy legacy"!!!!

1. "(CNSNews.com) – White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday the Obama administration’s foreign policies in a number of areas have enhanced the world’s “tranquility” – a word that raised eyebrows asreporters pointed to situations in Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Ukraine and the South China Sea."WH We ve Substantially Improved the Tranquility of the Global Community CNS News


2. [August 18, 2011].... [Obama} called Thursday for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to resign, after months of his violent crackdown on protesters. The rhetorical escalation was backed bynew U.S. sanctions designed to undermine Assad’sability to finance his military operation..... culminatedmonths of calibrateddiplomacythat has included three rounds of sanctionsand a gradual policy shift toward regime change in a nation long at odds with U.S. policy in the Middle East."Assad must go Obama says - The Washington Post


3."Russia 'to reopen Cold WarCuban listening post used to spy on America' Moscow-based daily Kommersant claimedRussia and Cuba have struck a deal'in principle' after President Vladimir Putin visited the island last week.

Citing several sources within Russian authorities, the respected daily wrote: 'The agreements were finalised while President Vladimir Putin visited Havana last Friday."
Russia 'to reopen Cold War Cuban listening post'

And Obama sucks up to the Cuban communists...and gets nothing for it.



4. When the Egyptian people declined to be governed bythe 7th century savages, the Muslim Brotherhood,Obama had a fit:
"The U.S. government has decided privately to act as if the military takeover of Egypt was a coup, temporarilysuspending most forms of military aid,despite deciding not to announce publicly a coup determination one way or the other, according to a leading U.S. senator.
In the latest example of its poorly understood Egypt policy, the Obama administrationhas decided to temporarilysuspend the disbursement of most direct military aid, the delivery of weapons to the Egyptian military, and some forms of economic aid to the Egyptiangovernmentwhile it conducts a broad review of the relationship."

a. Did Obama do any of those things when Iranian protesters cried out for American support????
"Iranian Green Movement..... numerous other people who have ostensibly been either killed or arrested since the election.[122]The government has issued very little official information on who has been killed or arrested (except Neda Agha-Soltan, whose video circulated quickly on the Internet). Hospitals were prohibited from registering the dead bodies or injured people, as a medical student at Rasoul-Akram hospital witnessed on the night of 15 June: "Nine people died at our hospital and another 28 had gunshot wounds... [the government] removed the dead bodies on back of trucks,.."

Obama sat on his 'wrong side of history.'


5. Underestimated the "Islamic State, ...ISIS" "The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is ifa jayvee teamputs on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant,”Obama told the New Yorker, referring to ISIS.
“I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian.”

Obama is responsible for any success ISIS has been able to amass.

He cleared the field for them, misjudged ISIS, and has been remiss in confronting them.

Here, his side of that history....



6. Obama made another huge mistake inrefusing to negotiate an agreement to leave US troops in Iraq.

This is the source of the problem with ISIS: they're there because we weren't.
"Obama's 2012 Debate Boast: I Didn't Want to Leave Any Troops in Iraq
Obama then denied that he ever supported a status of forces agreement that would have left troops in Iraq:

MR. ROMNEY: [W]ith regards to Iraq, you and I agreed, I believe, that there should have been a status of forces agreement. Did you —

PRESIDENT OBAMA:That's not true.

MR. ROMNEY:Oh, you didn't — you didn't want a status of forces agreement?

PRESIDENT OBAMA:No, but what I — what I would not have done is left 10,000 troops in Iraq that would tie us down. That certainly would not help us in the Middle East.

"Here's one thing I've learned as commander in chief," Obama said at the end of the exchange. "You've got to be clear, both to our allies and our enemies, about where you stand and what you mean

Obama s 2012 Debate Boast I Didn t Want to Leave Any Troops in Iraq The Weekly Standard

a. "This month, Colin Kahl, the senior Pentagon official in charge of Iraq policy at the time, explained why the White House insisted on Iraq’s parliament approving the changes to the SOFA.

He wrote inPolitico Magazinethat in 2011 Iraq’s prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, “told U.S. negotiators that he was willing to sign an executive memorandum of understanding that included these legal protections.

Yet this time around, Obama is willing to accept an agreement from Iraq’s foreign ministry on U.S. forces in Iraq without a vote of Iraq’s parliament. “We believe we need a separate set of assurances from the Iraqis,” one senior U.S. defense official told The Daily Beast on Sunday. This official said this would likely be an agreement or exchange of diplomatic notes from the Iraq’s foreign ministry. “We basically need a piece of paper from them,” another U.S. official involved in the negotiations told The Daily Beast. The official didn’t explain why the parliamentary vote, so crucial three years ago, was no longer needed.”

Obama rejected it.




7. “Obama is the weakest of U.S. presidents,he had humiliating defeats in the region. Under him the Islamic awakening happened,” Younesisaidin a Farsi language interview with Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency. “Americans witnessed their greatest defeats in Obama’s era: Terrorism expanded, [the] U.S. had huge defeats under Obama [and] that is why they want to compromise with Iran,” Younesi said.

Thecriticism of Obama echoes comments made recently byotherworld leadersand even former members of the president’s own staff,such asformer Defense Secretary Robert Gates."

9. "It would be one thing had the president brought in a successful test anywhere. But his — and Secretary of State Clinton’s — “reset” with Russia has been greeted with aggression from President Putin and his camarilla. The “pivot” to Asia hasturned into a palsied pirouette and been unmasked as cover for fading from the Middle East.

Of course, Obama has handed lots more over to Iran, with whom he seems to have some unfulfilled teenage fantasy.


11. WASHINGTON—In reaching a historic agreement to restrain Iran’s nuclear program, PresidentBarackObamaeffectively shredded the foreign-policy playbook that had guided the U.S. for three decades....Obama also may have created a more unstable Middle East and, in the process, torn apart longtime U.S. ties with traditional alliessuch as Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Obama’s Iran Deal Breaks From Past


a."The president has convinced himselfthat the open-endedappeasement of Iranwill replicate the Nixon-Kissinger triumph with China. But they made no concessions to the Chinese: They agreed that there was one China but that Taiwan would not be reunited with the mainland by force, and it has not been.

Mr.Obama is handing Iraq to Iranashe gives Iran a green light to nuclear weapons,at the latest in ten years, as he unblocks $150 billion that has been frozen,without even getting a reduction in rhetorical abusefrom Tehran. Tom Friedman of theNew York Timesinfamously called it a “doctrine,” in the sense of the Stimson or Truman or Nixon doctrines.

But insipidity, irresolution, and obfuscation do not constitute a doctrine.

America’s traditional allies havelost all respect for [Obama's] foreign-policy-making...

As the U.S. cranks up to another presidential election, and rhetoric echoes loudly around the country about “the greatest nation in human history” (certainly a fair description in many respects),Americans should be aware of how the country is perceivedby foreigners. .... it has almost become, as President Nixon warned,“a pitiful, helpless giant.”

OK...ok....a conservative is never so tall as when she stoops to educate a Liberal....soooo......

3. Manipulation of the media was expected by the Democrat administration....

...it is the reason why the NYTimes boasted of the lies behind the Ben Rhodes revelations...


a. "The way in which most Americans have heard the story of the Iran deal presented — that the Obama administration began seriously engaging with Iranian officials in 2013 in order to take advantage of a new political reality in Iran, which came about because of elections that brought moderates to power in that country — was largely manufactured for the purpose for selling the deal. Even where the particulars of that story are true, the implications that readers and viewers are encouraged to take away from those particulars are often misleading or false.

While the president’s statement was technically accurate — there had in fact been two years of formal negotiations leading up to the signing of the J.C.P.O.A. —it was also actively misleading,because the most meaningful part of the negotiations with Iran had begun in mid-2012, many months before Rouhani and the “moderate” camp were chosen in an election among candidates handpicked byIran’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The idea that there was a new reality in Iran was politically useful to the Obama administration.

....Rhodes’s war room did its work on Capitol Hill and with reporters. In the spring of last year, legions of arms-control experts began popping up at think tanks and on social media, and then became key sources for hundreds of often-clueless reporters.“We created an echo chamber,”he admitted, when I asked him to explain the onslaught of freshly minted experts cheerleading for the deal. “They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.”

a. "His[Rhodes] lack of conventional real-world experience of the kind that normally precedes responsibility for the fate of nations— like military or diplomatic service, or even a master’s degree in international relations, rather than creative writing — is still startling."
