News Anchor Reveals Shocking Examples Of Media Covering For Obama
...she has never revealed that information for fear of losing her job.
B. Christopher Agee ? December 12, 2014
Journalists of all stripes have long complained about the current administration?s lack of openness in dealing with the media despite claims that it is the ?most transparent? in history.
While plenty of reporters lament their limited access to unbiased information, however, Fox News correspondent Monica Crowley revealed that many of her colleagues are more than happy using their influence to shill for Barack Obama.
Crowley penned a recent editorial for the Washington Times in which she recalled a conversation with one broadcast network reporter who revealed the sycophantic inner workings of her newsroom.
The unidentified woman described herself as a conservative, Crowley wrote, though she explained that she has never revealed that information for fear of losing her job. The veteran newswoman said that, while her industry has long leaned to the left, reporters have taken an even more partisan tone in dealing with the current White House.
?Every morning,? she told Crowley, ?we hold a meeting about how to build that evening?s broadcast. We?ve been doing this for decades.?
Those meeting have always had an ?unspoken? liberal undertone, she noted; however, the 2008 presidential election cycle showed a specific bias toward Obama.
?Once Obama pulled ahead of Hillary and certainly once he became president, the bias came out of the closet,? the source told Crowley. ?Now, every morning when we meet to discuss that night?s show, they literally say ? out loud ? ?How do we protect Barack Obama today???
This anecdote is hardly the only evidence suggesting newsrooms actively work on Obama?s behalf instead of fulfilling a commitment to impartiality. Crowley shared a conversation with another fellow journalist, Fox Business? Melilssa Francis, who recalled a similar pressure to carry water for the administration.
When Francis reported inaccuracies surrounding the math behind Obamacare during her time at CNBC, she said executives raked her over the coals for ?disrespecting the office of the president.?
Former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson has also made news in recent months for her assertion that she was forced out of her job due in large part to her criticism of the Obama administration.
