Obama Campaign Quietly Ditches Faux Flag? According to powerlineblog: […] Barack Obama, however, has never been one to be deterred by bad taste. The larger problem was that, as many pointed out, the flag bore an uncanny resemblance to this grisly photograph taken at the American consulate in Benghazi:
So the Obama campaign has quietly ditched the flag poster, which now returns an error message if you try to buy it at the Obama store. (more…)
State Department Philip Reines said that CNN had “completely ignored the wishes of the family” of Stevens by broadcasting the details contained within his journal before returning. Reines said that CNN “ultimately broke their pledge made to them only hours after they witnessed the return to the Unites States of Chris’s remains.”
Given the truth of how this was handled, CNN patting themselves on the back is disgusting.
What they’re not owning up to is reading and transcribing Chris’s diary well before bothering to tell the family or anyone else that they took it from the site of the attack. Or that when they finally did tell them, they completely ignored the wishes of the family, and ultimately broke their pledge made to them only hours after they witnessed the return to the Unites States of Chris’s remains.

Mailboxes along the roads and old barns set back in fields overgrown with weeds often served as landmarks in rural Montana where I grew up. These landmarks told us where we were, and how far we had to go. Sometimes they signaled “home” and the end of the road. At other times, barely visible through swirling snow, they told us we had miles to go.
When I started compiling these memories, I realized they were like those mailboxes and old barns from my memory–identifying places in the road over the years that still have the sharp edges given them by prairie life. Here’s one for today…about water.

In 1925, with his World World I Navy service behind him, our father was beginning to work his own land, thinking about rain and wheat. He wrote the following to our mother in a letter dated September 14, 1925 in the early weeks of their courtship: (more…)

According to the new Gallup Poll….. That’s 8 out of every 100 Americans who still have a “great deal” of trust in American Media.
Holy Cats !! Who are these 8 percenters? Is this the Honey BooBoo crew?
Another 32 percent say they have a “fair amount” of trust? Obviously these are sheeple New York Times Democrats, and ideological Birkenstock wearing, Prius driving, tree-bark eating, progressives.

(CNSNews.com) -Only 8 percent of Americans say they have a “great deal” of trust in the news media, according to a new Gallup poll.
That is down from 11 percent a year ago and is a record low for the 40 years that Gallup has been polling on the question. (more…)
Yes, perhaps, just perhaps, the story will finally turn to the direction it should have been from day #1. Kirsten Powers took a turn at pulling the media narrative back to where it should be. (Video from RightScoop) On Fox News earlier today, she blasted the media for their lack of curiosity in this Benghazi story, saying they should be embarrassed that Univision was the first to ask the president about the security situation on 9/11.
Jake Tapper tried earlier in the week with Jay Carney – He got nowhere. Kirsten Powers points out that “Univision” is the only media questioning President Obama with the hard questions that MUST be asked.
CNN, well, more specifically Anderson Cooper, acts as if they just found a little pink fuzzy diary with a little latch key in the subway, instead of a Diplomat’s Journal found at the scene of his murder. Instead of turning the journal over to investigators, the FBI or the CIA, CNN uses the information within the journal to frame their reporting and then contacts the family to notify of the finding.
(Via WallStreetJournal) CNN obtained a personal journal that belonged to the slain American ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and broadcast reports based on its contents against the wishes of the Stevens family, according to relatives and State Department officials who were asked to intervene by the family.
CNN obtained the journal in Benghazi, where Mr. Stevens and three other Americans were killed in an attack by militants on the American consulate in the city on Sept. 11. It wasn’t clear exactly how CNN obtained the ambassador’s writings. (more…)
Last week we shared with you an unreported “cut” in the contoversial 47% Romney video (Contrived Controversy) that was initially denied by Mother Jones and David Corn. People familiar with media manipulation knew that something existed within the “Cut Out” portion of the video/audio that the progressive media DID NOT want people to hear.
As expected, there was more within the context of the 47%. Mitt Romney was expanding on the tax revenue concerns and the economic impacts from tax policy combined with federal “Monetary Policy.” Here is the audio they did not want you to hear.
Romney knows exactly what is wrong and he describes it in a simple and understandable way. It’s not complicated; it’s just that the ruling class doesn’t want plain talk about serious problems with the Federal Reserve.
No wonder they didn’t play the whole statement.
