NY Times bans reporters from far-Left TV

The New York Times has finally decided to try harder at being "journalistic" and have banned its "reporters" from several TV shows that are obviously partisan: MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell, and Don Lemon of CNN [aka: the Compromised News Network]. 

MSNBC, whose ratings are lower than whale poop, is upset about the new policy, according to anonymous sources at Vanity Fair. This was discovered after a Times reporter cancelled a scheduled appearance on Rachel Maddow's show. Her producer was informed that New York Times reporters are asked not to appear on partisan shows to discuss politics. The ban supposedly extends to Comrade O’Donnell and "The Lemon," as well as Fox news hosts Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity [where the chances of them appearing in the first place is as likely as spotting Bigfoot dancing with Richard Simmons.]

The Times explained to Vanity Fair of a policy in their ethics handbook that says reporters should “avoid strident, theatrical forums that emphasize punditry and reckless opinion-mongering.” New York Times reporters have appeared on Maddow’s show for years, but leadership at the former newspaper finally woke up to the fact that some of these shows have gone off the rails in recent months.

Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet and others at the canary cage liner don’t want their so-called "unbiased" reporters to be associated with the increasingly obvious bias of people like Maddow.  “Their view is that, intentionally or not, it affiliates the Times reporter with a bias,” an anonymous source said.

It’s not clear exactly where The Times is drawing the line for shows that are and are not permissible to bloviate on. Some of their reporters, including hard-left-leaning White House correspondent Maggie Haberman, are paid contributors at the networks and have the same blatant bias as the hosts of the shows they appear on. This does not bode well for The Times.

The guidelines are “inconsistent, incoherent and poorly conceived,” an unnamed source at one of the networks told Vanity Fair, which suggests the guidelines were written by the staff at the former newspaper.

Obama: a double-crosser or just a liar?

Obama invents the 'groin salute'

You've heard the lies by Barack Obama: 

"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor . . . period." Saying that his position on ISIS being a JV team wasn't referring to ISIS. Saying that "Most young Americans right now, they're not covered [with healthcare]." "Fast and Furious began under the Bush administration." "We've excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs.""I have not said I was a single-payer supporter." "We import more oil today than ever before." 

For more lies perpetrated by Obama,  go here.  The above lies were just the tip of the iceberg.

Now Robert Gates, former Secretary of Defense under both George Bush and Obama, says that he feels "double crossed" by our current empty suit. The lie, this time, was Obama's promise not to cut the defense budget.

When Fox News asked Gates whether Obama kept his word, Gates responded, "Well, I think that began the fray. 'Fray' may be too gentle a word." 

The defense budget had already been slashed when Gates was told to cut it again to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. "I guess I'd have to say I felt double-crossed. After all those years in Washington, I was naive."

Gates tried to get Obama to make the defense cuts gradual, but with the Islamic State growing from a "JV team" to "State Champs," our so-called commander in chief thought that less is more. People who have their brains in their nether regions often think backwards.

Fox also spoke with former Gen. Michael Flynn who was director of the DIA under Obama. Flynn too wasn't impressed with Obama's strategy. "Frankly, the United States of America is in a less strong position today because of the readiness and the size of our armed forces," he said, and then added, "I think he sees the military actually as something that is more dangerous to the world. I think that he looks at the United States military and sees it as a threatening application around the world, than actually as a useful tool."

There is no question that Obama does not see the USA as a force for good in the world.

He makes military veterans and other patriots ashamed of having him as the president.

Sunday News Flushings of the Week

I am having difficulty focusing today. Excuse any errors you might find in my blog.

The Obamacare deadline is tomorrow. At this time, 6 million people have signed up for coverage, 745 have paid for their coverage, and 5,999,255 have yet to pay. Of those who are not paid up for coverage, 5,678,666 people had first lost their coverage and needed to get covered with Obamacare. Of the 5,678,666 who lost their coverage, signed onto Obamacare, and now are being counted, 4 of them have paid in full, 5,787,543 are over the age of 40 and of those, over half have serious health issues. Thus, of all those who allegedly signed up and are considered a member of the "invincibles," there are 46 who meet the criteria. Therefore, Obamacare is a total success if you're a liberal. Finally, it is projected that there will be a surge of over 56 million people checking that little box to get a postponement for the immediate future.

MH 370 is still missing. The latest debris was not from the plane but is believed to be the debris from the Benghazi wreckage, which was discarded by Libyan litterbug Muslims. CNN's Anderson Cooper, plans to swim out to new debris found in the Indian Ocean, while Fox's Geraldo Rivera plans to do the same and has challenged Cooper to a race to the debris.

"A Muslim walks into a bar . . . "

Obama, in a hard-hitting interview with Chris Matthews of MSNBC, has called Pope Francis a "damn liar," in regard to the privat conversation they had. Obama claims that the holy Pontiff said that he's doing a "spot-on" job as president, while  the Pontiff claims that he said no such thing, but tried to discuss how Catholics are being forced to go against their religious beliefs by paying for birth control and abortion procedures. Matthews ended the interview by saying, "Thank you for bringing this evil pope's shameful lie to the light of day, Mr. President. I love you, man." 

In what can only be viewed as an hypocritical  historical move, Obama now wants his signature debacle to cover Cialis, Viagra, abortions and all birth control measures. So now men can have all the fun they want, and women don't have to be saddled with another little person in their life. Regarding abortion, Ronald Reagan observed that people who were in favor of it, have already been born.

A Test for Liberals

Next time a liberal tells you how Obama is doing a wonderful job, there's no point arguing with them.  Like the saying goes, "talking to a liberal is like talking to a wall."  Of course not all liberals are stupid--there are plenty who have yet to be born, and if many of these unborn libs have lib parents, there's a good possibility they might be aborted if they're inconvenient.  But you might consider asking a few questions that just might get the ones who have been born to think--or is the idea of liberal and thinking an oxymoron?  Anyway, here are some questions you might try:

1. Who is Lady Gaga?  I always like to start off with an easy one for those with small minds.   Not only will they know who Ms. Gaga is, they will know things about her that a normal person would consider too personal to share beyond their spouse.  Then follow up with: 

2. Where is Camp Bastion? It's in Afghanistan, but you knew that because you don't watch Chris-I-Get-Myself-Jiggly-for-Obama-Matthews; you probably watch Fox.

3. Can you name one of the two Marines killed at Camp Bastion three days after the 9/11/2012 attack of our consulate in Benghazi, Libya? That's probably unfair to ask because even most conservatives don't know that Lt. Col. Christopher Raible and Sgt. Bradley Atwell were the marines who were murdered by Islamic orthodox jihadists, but ask the liberal anyway.
