Williams Wishes It Would Just Go Away
NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams is so desperate to hide the fact that his king's Attorney General has been charged with contempt of Congress and King Obama has evoked executive privilege that he and his network are trying the classic "out of sight, out of mind" routine (I can't use the term "blackout" because that would be racist) in hopes of just making the Congressional "Fast and Furious" hearings go away. What else can he do? Bush and the GOP had nothing to do with it, so there's no one else to blame. Or is there?
Of course, as always when the desperate Dems attempt to blame their incompetence on Bush or anyone or anything else, the truth comes out that olbliterates their false pretenses and bogus claims.
Aside from Jackson Lee's clear-cut moonbattery and...whatever, Williams and co. simply have to pretend it doesn't exist all together like they've done for the last year and a half, give or take. Except now that it's heating up more than they either expected or wanted and they can't just get away with "reporting" on it with just a 10-second sound bite, Williams and company figures they'll just dismiss the whole thing as just another round of "broken politics and vicious fights."
As Charles Krauthammer see things, the mainstream media and especially NBC, who seem to be the most egregious perpetrators in this shell game, cannot simply ignore this story anymore:
"...there’s no way that the mainstream media, which have studiously tried to ignore this can do that anymore. In fact, as [Special Report host Bret Baier] pointed out, NBC, which has shown exactly ten seconds of coverage of this on its Evening News in the last year-and-a-half, is now going to have to explain the whole thing since the viewership has no idea what it’s about. So, number one, it becomes a huge national issue."
Secondly, it involves the president. Not that he was involved in the actual communications but he is the one that has to issue the, has to authorize the claim of executive privilege. Once he does that, clearly he is connected even though it’s not– it wasn’t claimed on grounds of presidential communications..."
This has got to be the biggest, most obvious piece of media bias ever. Does anyone, and I mean anyone doubt that if Holder was a Republican, this wouldn't have been a 24/7 national story from day one?
This goes way beyond pathetic journalistic activism. I mean 482 for NBC and ABC to even do their first report on this?
Oh and get a load of this, House Minority Leader and (thank God) former Speaker Nancy Pelosi recorded another chart-topper to her list of greatest hits by adding this doozy:
"They’re going after Eric Holder because he is supporting measures to overturn these voter suppression initiatives in the states… This is no accident, it is no coincidence. It is a plan on the part of Republicans."
"These very same people who are holding him in contempt are part of a nationwide scheme to suppress the vote,” she said of her congressional colleagues. "It is connected. It’s clear as can be. It’s not only to monopolize his time, it’s to undermine his name."
"These folks want a plutocracy where instead of the choice of the many the checks of the very very few determine the outcomes of elections."
The vast right-wing conspiracy strikes again. Erika Johnsen from HotAir said it nicely,
…I don’t even know what to say. My amazement that this person is the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, of the United States of America, is once again overwhelming me. The deceit and demagoguery truly know no bounds.
Yes, I’m sure Republicans planned Operation Fast and Furious themselves, and then convinced Holder to willfully ignore the requirements of a Congressional subpoena, so that they could bring him up on contempt charges, so that they could undermine his quest to continue to allow people to vote without providing identification. Or something.
In the name of all that is holy, stop calling Republican efforts to combat voter fraud, “voter suppression.” Voter fraud is a real and widespread occurrence, although I’m sure the fact that proven cases of voter fraud tend to disproportionately benefit Democrats has absolutely nothing to do with their insistence. Even President Obama has been known to ask for IDs from people attending his rallies — why aren’t any Democrats righteously screaming that he’s trying to “disenfranchise minorities”? I mean, it’s only logical, right?
I think I asked that last question already myself.
