Op-ed:
FEAR...why the media remains silent  

By: Diane Sori

It's sad to say but the reason why so many Americans drank the kool-ade and voted for Barack Obama in 2008 was the lame stream media’s total and complete failure to vet him.  Now with about only seven months to go until the 2012 election, the lame stream media is again failing to vet ‘the anointed one’ or his actions.

You’d think that with almost four years of our beloved America being destroyed from within by ‘the enemy within’ (and Obama is rightfully known by many such names), that that would have woken up the media and forced them to do their rightful job, but as we all know, it hasn't.  They still adore ‘the anointed one’ …or is it that they fear him and what he will do to them if they desert him.  And fear is what I believe is at the heart of the media’s cowardness...they fear that beside the fact that they didn't vet him, they also covered up the most scandalous goings on of the Obama administration, and they fear the price they WILL have to pay for doing so.

And what are these scandals that have them so shaking in their boots.  Here’s but a few of his many notables: First, almost half of all registered voters tell pollsters they don't believe Obama’s birth certificate is real, yet almost no news outlet will touch the story, and the few that do only give it lip service at best.  Even Sheriff Joe’s news conference a few weeks ago had to be viewed through the internet when it should have been on EVERY major news station all across the nation.

Second, even when it was found out that the family of the infamous Bill Ayers allegedly funded ‘foreign student’ Barack Obama’s education at Harvard Law School, both the main stream media and the so-called conservative media looked the other way.

Third, whenever Obama sides against our ally and friend, Israel, and sides with her enemies, little coverage is given to this.  Yet when Obama tries to crucify our brave service men and women for mistakenly burning some vile qur’ans or for peeing on some dead Taliban (who are our enemy in case he forgets), the media is all over it, portraying our soldiers as the bad guys, and conveniently forgetting that Obama will always side with his muslim brethren over our own military.

And fourth, we have Obama admitting on tape that the upcoming ELECTIONS are getting in the way of his 'Real Agenda', and admitting it to the leader of a foreign nation (Russia), a nation America is still at odds with!  And yet the media stays low key on this when this should be story #1 on every station and in every paper, because this action of Obama’s, one amongst many traitorous actions, goes against the Presidential Oath of Office he swore to uphold, and shames the position of Commander-in-Chief. 

The list of Obama’s traitorous and questionable actions is a long one, these were but a few, yet one thing ALL these actions have in common is that the lame stream media, and even for the most part the conservative media as well, have all remained if not silenced, at least gagged…and I want to know why.
