Liberal Radio Host Savages the Media for 'Hit Job' Reports on Obama

[Tx4obama]

“Ring of Fire” radio host Mike Papantonio excoriated the political press when he joined MSNBC’s Ed Schultz on Monday for their coverage of the Affordable Care Act’s roll out. He said that the coverage of the ACA, like CBS’s inaccurate Benghazi report, indicated to him that the media was executing a premeditated “hit job” on President Barack Obama.

Schultz began by asking Papantonio about the bipartisan impulse to compare the political impact of the ACA’s roll-out to that of the botched federal response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

“Well, Obama saw a health care disaster and he ran in to fix it. The Republicans saw a Katrina disaster and they ran away from it,” Papantonio responded. “I don’t know why the media can’t get that.”

The "media can't get that".. because they want the public to buy their hogwash.. lock stock and barrel.

"bipartisan impulse"? Dems are comparing it to Katrina, too?

5. The "Liberal Media" myth continues.

Thank God for the 10% of talk radio that isn't controlled by the Right Wing. It seems like everything that occurs during President Obama's administration is either "Obama's Watergate" or "Obama's Katrina". Of COURSE problems with a website are a "catastrophic disaster" when it's this President, but when its the website for Medicare Part D, or even for "GOP.com", that's meaningless. Yes, losing four Americans at Benghazi was a tragedy, but the 60 people who died in Embassy attacks, or the 241 people that died in Beirut under Reagan's watch? Hey, don't blame the guy at the top. I will be SO glad when we can get the obstructionists out of Congress next November.
