Have you questioned the NYTimes yet about their editing the story about the Obama photo op? The story has been reported on several sites now….and I do note you wonder if the NYTimes will be edited at the request/direction of Obama. Can you please follow up?

The New York Times get caught changing its Obama-visiting-Dover-air-base story by taking out the section that made the visit seem like a staged photo-op. No correction or editiorial comment, of course, that such a change had been made.

What are you talking about, Mal? NBC got caught purposely editing an interview with Bush, to make him look bad. The unedited video changed the story completely. It’s similar to how MSNBC got caught editing a video of an Arizona protest, to cut out the minorities, so they could frame the protest as “racist.” Remember that. See… that’s what’s called manufacturing the news.

As for butt kissing… no they didn’t. They didn’t report that he was a floundering boob every minute of the day, which I guess YOU’D call bias… but they certainly weren’t butt kissing. Do you have an example you’d like to show me… or should I just take this as another “that’s what everyone believes” fallacy.

Well… no Bush didn’t. He attacked NBC for purposely editing a story to make him look bad, but didn’t go on a campaign to attack the network publically, and threaten the rest of the media that they “had better not act like them.”

Criticize or attack a STORY, not the network. That’s just foolish. And if the White House is attack FOX because they don’t kiss butt… what does that say about the other networks?

Perhaps Glynnis can ask the NYTimes editor to explain the edit and removing this:

“The images and the sentiment of the president’s five-hour trip to Delaware were intended by the White House to convey to the nation that Mr. Obama was not making his Afghanistan decision lightly or in haste.”

without any explanation.

Glad to see the rest of the media standing up to the WH and their seemingly growing enemies list. Even CBS is on the attack about the ridiculous “saved or created” jobs story that WH is pushing.

The White House always hates the network that doesn’t kiss its ass. Bush did the same thing with MSNBC.

If the White House tries to block access, then it’s a problem. Otherwise, stop acting like this is anything new.

Lie… they’ve talked about both the healthcare situation AND the war on FOX. O’Reilly even read an email with the same criticism, and he replied, “We can walk and chew gum at the same time.” You’re making stuff up again Glynnis… and you can’t do that when people around here know the truth.

Ten Glenn Beck’s will always be preferable…

*Phew* I was worried there for a minute that you might go through a whole post without mentioning Beck.

The White House isn’t interested in releasing information on “false news,” they’re interested in silencing criticism. The AP story is a perfect example of that. The AP found a whole host of errors in the White House’s reporting… the defense, “We knew about that and are working to fix it,” doesn’t fly. They publically released bad information, they knew it was bad, but they still touted it. The White House is upset the AP called them out on it… not that their report was wrong.

Scary stuff, indeed.

(I caught some of Beck last night and I don’t get the feeling he received any memos about a truce!) hehe
