Obama and his news media enablers
BY DEREK HUNTER

If we had an honest media/Democratic Party, this week would embarrass them. But we don’t. And since we don’t, rather than honest reporting about President Obama’s failure to comprehend and react strongly to an ever growing string of attack in the Middle East, we get stories about how Mitt Romney didn’t wait for what pundits deem to be his turn when denouncing it.

An honest media would wonder why the ambassador in Libya wasn’t sufficiently guarded by United States Marines. They’d wonder why the Egyptian police charged with guarding the embassy in Cairo walked away from their responsibility the day it was stormed and did nothing. They’d follow up on the two reports that the Obama administration had 48 hours of warning that violence was coming and acted on it. And they’d blast a President who, on a day our ambassador and three other Americans were slaughtered, went on a campaign and fundraising junket after skipping more than half of his daily national security briefings, including on the day after the attacks started.

But we don’t have an honest media, we have what we have – campaign spokesmen with digital recording devices and deadlines.
