(ThyBlackMan.com) Reading the mainstream liberal press, one might be brainwashed to believe Obama is the Messiah incarnate and Republicans are spawns of Satan. All this garbage talk that somehow Tea Party members of Congress brought America to the brink of default and are collectively responsible for the country receiving its first credit downgrade is asinine at best and pathetic at worst. It’s embarrassingly indicative of a president without a compass, who along with his Democrat protectors of the welfare state, refuse to take responsibility for his failed policies of endless spending and face reality that the US piggy bank is bankrupt.
What’s more startling than the mainstream liberal media blaming Tea Party conservatives for the country’s fiscal woes is New York Times reporter Joe Nocera referring to Tea Party members of Congress as “terrorists” who wore “suicide vests” and “waged jihad on the American people.” Comparing members of Congress to terrorists is reprehensible but of course this received zero condemnation from the news media because it was a liberal reporter lambasting Republicans. We all know if a Wall Street Journal reporter had compared left wing Democrats to terrorists, the mainstream liberal news media would never let Republicans hear the end of it.
Under Obama’s rule as president, the media seems to have created a more brazen, biased standard of political reporting: wage freedom of speech war on the “right wing nuts” but treat the left wing liberals with angelic, kid gloves. Newsweek’s cover story on GOP presidential candidate and Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann featured a demonizing photo of a possessed looking Bachmann with the caption “The Queen of Rage.”
Demonstrating the grotesque level of bias exhibited by Newsweek, even the National Organization for Women (NOW), one of the most liberal groups on the planet, condemned the photo as “sexist.” Duh!!! NOW\’s President , Terry O’Neill said even though her goal is to ensure Bachmann doesn’t become president, she “defended Bachmann against these kind of misogynistic attacks,” because “good women will not run for office if Newsweek magazine can do this to such a prominent politician and get away with it.”
But the liberal press keeps hacking away at prominent conservative politicians, just as they did when Rep. Allen West told Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in an email to insult him to his face or “shut up.” The liberal hounds and their media stewards demanded West apologize to Wasserman Schultz which he appropriately refused to do. I’ll bet the ranch on it that if the roles were reversed and little Debbie said the same thing to Rep. West, the mainstream leftist media would have heaped praises on Debbie.
The underlying theme to this jihad the liberal press is waging on conservatives of all stripes (GOP and Tea Party) is “right wing politicians are always to blame for Barack Obama’s failures as president.” President George W. Bush is top on the blame list for the lousy state of our economy, even though he didn’t spend trillions on Obamacare, failed stimulus, auto and Freddie and Fannie bailouts.
The anger Americans feel toward this president for policies that have driven the country toward the precipice of economic disaster are blamed on Michelle Bachmann because she stirs up the rage in people. Then the Tea Party members of Congress are called “radical” and “irresponsible because they refused to give Obama more money to raise the debt ceiling to fund a welfare state which is bankrupt. And of course Obama’s advisers and the press blamed the Tea Party for the downgrade of the US credit rating.
This blame game is growing as hackneyed as Obama’s refusal to take responsibility for his actions. After jacking up our debt to $14.3 trillion, securing a downgrade of the nation’s debt for the first time in history, driving unemployment to 9.2%, it’s clear where the blame for the country’s state rest: squarely on President Obama’s shoulders.

You teabombers are tearrorists. You’ve held the nation hostage for the benefit of Koch Brothers and the rest of the fascist cabal, the top 2%. You are the brownshirts, the zombie ants rabbling around to the beckon and call of your Anti-Messiah, Rush Limbaugh who preaches from the Bible of Ayn Rand – who hates Christianity – called it the best kindegarten of communism. And I’ll bet you all think it’s okay to have two masters? Ayn Rand and Jesus? Or maybe you are ‘true libertarians’ and think your taxes are up, while they are lower under Obama than the past 60 years? Not only terrorists, but complete brainwashed by the corporate media, FOX, who by the way first offered their services under the name of FOX Movietone in 1932, to your true leader, Adolf Hitler. Use Google and stop letting the hate and fear peddling snake oil salesman of the tea party brainwash your fragile little minds.
Im just going to say that I cosign with everything Reggie said. Social welfare is needed and what the constitution contented on the general welfare of citizens in economic need. Corporate welfare is hardly needed and not needed for the top 3 percent income group. Both conservative and liberal media entertain unnecessary propaganda and rhetoric. GW Bush created most of the debt the govt have today. It is his spending that bled profusely and Obama is left to do surgery and bandage it.
In my opinion, the so called “liberal media” is a myth that conservatives use to cry foul. The real truth is that journalism (on tv) is dead. It’s all about sensationalism and money-making. Why do you think that even though republicans were in the minority in both the Senate and the House that their opinions and stances were broadcasted more (Fox/CNN/MSNBC)than the group that was actually in the majority? Why do the stations allow lies to go unchallenged (all, but especially FOX)? Instead of report, these companies try to drive a narrative that in the end helps Corporations at the expense of ordinary Americans! Finally ma’am, in my opinion, corporate welfare is worse than the American welfare system. Let’s end corporate welfare, then work on welfare reform for ordinary citizens.
I consider myself to be to the immediate left of center… but I must admit that your article was great! I think it would be intellectually dishonest to dismiss the idea of there being a double standard and apparent bias in the media againt conservatives.
Great article!
