After Twelve Years This History-Changing Secret a Journalist Knew About Barack Obama Is Finally Revealed

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


US President Barack Obama gestures for the crowd to keep quiet about his visit to the O&H Danish Bakery to buy kringle pastries so that First Lady Michelle Obama wouldn’t find out about the visit, during a town hall event on the economy at Racine Memorial Hall in Racine, Wisconsin, June 30, 2010.

While I am in complete agreement with the First Amendment in that Congress can’t impose legal restrictions on the press, I am not one of those who believes that the media have any sacrosanct role in protecting democracy. Rather the opposite. From the beginning of the republic, media have been inextricably tied to political parties and causes. The idea of an unbiased press is one of the most pernicious falsehoods ever perpetrated on the American people. Newspapers, not just editorial pages but reporters, pick winners and losers  and shamelessly push their own agenda onto the public in the form of news.

Though I’m reliably told that it is no longer permissible to point out the error-filled and completely false stories that emanate from such places as CNN because by pointing out their stupidity and duplicity we encourage nutbars to shoot those places up and are therefore complicit  in the carnage, the fact remains that rarely a week goes by without a major political story being either retracted or substantially updated. When the errors run in a single direction, it becomes rather difficult to say, “news is a messy business, we make mistakes, but we correct them.”

While the past year has demonstrated the extent to which newsrooms across the nation are in the bag for the Democrats, this is not new. We don’t play “Name That Party” just for fun. We saw how the wildly inappropriately named “Candy” Crowley jumped into the presidential debate to rescue Obama from Mitt Romney. But while it is more pervasive today it has a history. The press knew that JFK not only had health problems but he also was a horndog of the first magnitude. No on reported on it because the press was invested in his presidency. To a lesser extent, the press was well aware of LBJ bizarre habits, not the least was entering the bedrooms of female staff and climbing into bed with them.

When Barack Obama announced he was running for president in a year where Hillary thought it was her turn, he was saddled by political affiliations that would have destroyed any Republican and most Democrats. His mentor had been an active and unrepentant terrorist. His minister was a openly vicious racist who proclaimed his hatred of America. And it was rumored that Obama had a long affiliation with Louis Farrakhan, a huckster that has turned raw Antisemitism and racism into a business empire. This is how Huffington Post covered a film called Hype: The Obama Effect that sought to puncture the “clean and articulate” mythos of Obama.

Except it wasn’t guilt by association. It was just basic guilt.

In 2016, Farrakhan gave an interview that revealed much deeper financial and organizational ties to Obama and he mentions this picture.

Imagine that photo hitting in 2007/2008? Obama might have been able to survive it, but it would have made the Dem primary and the general election much more interesting. I suspect those “blue collar whites” who voted for Obama might have gone a different direction. I suspect the donors that supported Obama might have ran like scalded dogs. And now just try to imagine any member of the press doing this for a Republican. Even a nice, inoffensive one like Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush.

Why did this happen? Because a reporter was personally invested in Obama’s candidacy.

So, no, I don’t want the press legally muzzled. But neither do I think any part of the government owes them respect or deference or access.
