Divert, deflect, and distract...the alphabet media's weapons of choice to protect Obama and Hillary
By: Diane Sori

What a sad commentary on the media in today's America when Chris Christie's ubber traffic jam fiasco dubbed 'BridgeGate' got more media coverage in the first 24 hours after the story broke than the IRS scandal was given in the past six or so months.

Jumping fast and hard on the news about the Republican governor and presidential hopeful...and as they try to turn 'BridgeGate' into a career ending scandal...the in-the-pocket-of-Obama alphabet media gave a solid 34 minutes and 28 seconds of air-time to said traffic jam that first day in the hopes that it would divert, deflect, and distract us away from ObamaCare, Benghazi, the IRS and NSA scandals, the economic numbers being manipulated, and of critical importance...deflect our attention away from former Defense Secretary Robert Gates' new tell all book...which in time could turn into the mother of all scandals because of Obama's "absence of conviction" in regards to Afghanistan and Iraq.

And of course the alphabet media jumped on Christie NOT just to ruin his political career but also to take the pressure and focus off their next in-line-for-the-presidency 'anointed one'...Hillary 'What does it matter' Clinton.

Divert, deflect, and distract...the fork in the road that the alphabet media travels that they rarely if ever exit to the right as they cover for Obama on a daily basis. And we know that so-called 'fair and balanced' reporting does NOT happen with today's left-leaning reporters, talking heads, and political pundits who seem to report only their news of choice and who actually fabricate and make-up news when need be. And sadly, sometimes even FOX is guilty of this...the very conservative leaning station who loves to tout the words 'fair and balanced' every chance they get.

And while we know how critical it is for 'We the People' to maintain a proper perspective on what's actually important vs. what's being reported as important by those in the alphabet media who deliberately initiate bias, it becomes harder to maintain focus when media malice is the hallmark of the leftist media establishment who stacks the deck against conservatives every chance they get.

Just a few cases in point...Christie's people having caused a traffic jam on the GW bridge gets major network coverage by the alphabet media, but Obama spitting in the face of our veterans by shutting down their access to the WWII Memorial instead had them either ignoring the story completely, or if they did cover it they twisted and distorted the facts to paint the 'bad' Republicans as the cause of the denied access, simply because they had to follow the Obama rhetoric that the Republicans forced the government shutdown.

And then there's the IRS scandal...the scandal where TEA Party and conservative groups were denied or delayed in getting 501-C3 tax exempt status...which should be big news because Obama just appointed one of his own big money donors to head the investigation into the abuses. Talk about knowing the outcome of the investigation before the investigation even gets started...but only FOX is reporting on this...MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and even CNN are saying NOT a word.

And while our floundering economy trudges along, the alphabet media heralds the newest job's numbers showing that the unemployment rate has declined from 7.0% to 6.7%. Yet they fail to report that only 74,000 new jobs were created in December as more people dropped out of the job's market than entered it. In fact, they dare NOT tell you that since Obama took office more Americans have entered into poverty than have left it nor will you hear that to end poverty the focus should be on jobs creation NOT on increasing unemployment benefits as Obama wants to do...because if they did Obama would lose those loyal to him whose very existence depends on their living off his government freebies.

And then there's ObamaCare...the gift that keeps on giving...giving 'We the People' heartburn that is. For example, the alphabet media bias for Obama was in-your-face-obvious last November when the NBC News hierarchy ordered that NO mention of the ObamaCare roll out disaster be mentioned on air for three days. NOT one word was said about the millions of Americans losing their health insurance nor was a word mentioned about the political damage that was done to Obama and the Democratic Party because of the Healthcare.gov website failures. An Obama policy disaster was ignored at the same time his LIES about being able to keep your current policy and doctors you liked was glossed over into becoming NOTHING but a slight misspeak, because 'We the People' should have known that Obama really meant we can keep both if they met ObamaCare's mandated coverage.

Oh the joys of the doublespeak of the alphabet media (gag).

And Benghazi...what Barack HUSSEIN Obama referred to as a 'bump in the road' while he watched four Americans die in real time. How the liberal alphabet media tried and still tries to cover and deflect blame off of and away from both Obama and Hillary. Reporting over and over for weeks on end what Obama told them to report about a YouTube video critical of mohamed being the cause of the attack on our compound, they deliberately did NOT report the documented facts that Ambassador Stevens had sent numerous pleas for help to then Secretary of State Clinton because he feared the embassy could NOT sustain an attack and that he was concerned about the increase in islamic presence in Benghazi. And they also did NOT report that NO US forces were put in place or even made ready to respond to a possible attack (especially with the anniversary of 9/11 close at hand) or that there were those willing to go help even after the attack began but were ordered to 'stand down'...NOT a word was said about this even though the media knew and still knows that only the president in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief can override the military command and issue an order to 'stand down'.

And the last of my examples is how the alphabet media is reporting on Former Defense Secretary Robert Gate's new book, 'Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War.' Painting a very unflattering picture of Barack HUSSEIN Obama as Commander-in-Chief, the media reports NOT on what Gates said or on his examples as proof given, but instead chooses to fuel negativity and controversy against the book in their effort to protect their anointed black 'savior' of us all. And Gates daring to tell the truth about the man who NOT only leads from behind but who actually does NOT lead at all, has the alphabet media scurrying to 'make the story go away' by giving it as little attention and airtime as possible.

So if those in the alphabet media who have now made the Christie 'BridgeGate' scandal their newest target to be focused on instead took a good, hard, unbiased look at the corrupt Obama administration and the true scandals of an anything but transparent administration run amok, and did the job they are supposed to do by reporting the truth instead of diverting, deflecting, and distracting all off Obama, this country would be a hell of a lot better off. But if all the alphabet media continues to do is cover for the Obama administration, they just might succeed in protecting and getting elected their 2016 candidate of choice...Hillary 'What does it matter' Clinton.

And that would be a nightmare courtesy of the alphabet media that America might NOT be able to wake up from.

'BridgeGate'...it's NOT what you think 
By: Diane Sori

"I had no knowledge or involvement in this issue, in its planning or execution." - New Jersey Governor Christie

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie had the first of his many sure to come photo-op moments last Thursday when he spoke on national television for almost two hours...more airtime than the media has given to Hillary and her role in Benghazi...about what has now become known as 'BridgeGate.'

Apologizing...groveling actually...in an effort to save his 2016 presidential aspirations...Christie admitted that some on his staff and some of his appointees to the Port Authority were involved...that in fact, they orchestrated the September lane closures on the George Washington Bridge that caused massive traffic delays for those going to work in New York, for school buses, and for police and emergency vehicles within the Fort Lee area. And the text messages made public led us to believe the closures were done as political payback against Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for NOT supporting Christie, the very man who touted bi-partnership when running for re-election and who had a good working and relationship with many Democratic state legislators including State Senate President Stephen Sweeney.

But was political payback against the mayor the true motive...I don't think so for a traffic jam has NO real bearing on the mayor of the city the jam was in.

Gridlocking Fort Lee for four days...encasing it in exhaust fumes...this now come back to haunt Christie nightmare started on August 13th when Bridget Anne Kelly, Christie's Deputy Chief of Staff e-mailed David Wildstein, the Director of Interstate Capital Projects for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey the following words, "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee" and Wildstein e-mailed back, "Got it."

Less than one month later on Wildstein's orders, two of the three access lanes connecting Fort Lee to the bridge were closed forcing all traffic to merge into one lane, thus creating hours-long traffic jams on the first day of the new school year. And after NOT answering Mayor Sokolich's texts, including one stating that "Presently we have four very busy traffic lanes merging into only one toll booth...The bigger problem is getting kids to school. Help please. It's maddening," and NOT returning phone calls even after a message was left saying, "urgent matter of public safety in Fort Lee" Wildstein did NOTHING to address the situation except to text a still unidentified person, "Is it wrong that I am smiling? I feel badly about the kids I guess..they are the children of Buono voters." Barbara Buono was Christie's challenger for governor.

Nice huh...now fast forward to mid-September when the four day lane closures ended on orders of Patrick Foye, Executive Director of the Port Authority. Wildstein then texted Kelly, "The New York side gave Fort Lee back all three lanes this morning. We are appropriately going nuts. Samson helping us to retaliate." The last line refers to David Samson, the chairman of the Port Authority Board. Kelly texted back, "What??" Wildstein responded, "Yes, unreal. Fixed now."

On September 16th, The Port Authority issued a statement saying that the lanes were closed for a traffic study...has anybody seen said study yet I wonder...and after Christie easily won re-election Port Authority Deputy Executive Director Bill Baroni testified before the Assembly Transportation Committee that the lane closures were indeed part of a traffic study that Wildstein himself had ordered.

Stinks doesn't it but NOT in ways you might think.

Now here I must interject something on a personal level...when I was in college I interned at Prentice-Hall in Englewood Cliffs, the town next up from Fort Lee, and every day I drove across the GW Bridge in rush hour...at the same time of day this 'supposed' traffic study was being done. And one thing I can tell you...legitimate traffic studies that involve lane closures are NEVER done at the height of rush hour nor are lanes closed except in an emergency or for repair. So lanes being closed at the busiest time of the day for a traffic study is pure nonsense.

And while Christie had to know about the closures as they went on for four days while his office was being flooded with calls from angry commuters and from parents whose children were stuck on school buses with NO food or bathrooms for all those hours..saying this was done for political payback because he did NOT get the endorsement of one Democratic mayor makes NO sense for how does tying up a bridge hurt the mayor...it simply does NOT...it hurts those having to wait for hours to cross the bridge that took them minutes to do so the day before.

So after thinking this all through I believe this entire event involves money and none other than good old Hilary 'What does it matter' Clinton herself.

Remember, politics is a fickle game where loyalties come and go and can easily be bought and sold. And while I am NOT a fan of RINO extraordinaire Chris Christie and would have to hold my nose to pull the lever for him, the facts are he has been a successful governor and is well-liked by both bodies political in New Jersey, and he is being forced down our throats by the media as the only man that can beat Hilary in 2016. But just imagine that maybe this time the media has it right and that Hillary knows it and is hopping mad, after all she lost the nomination to Obama in 2008 and ambitious b*tch that she is she sure as hell does NOT want to lose the presidency to Christie. And so for a price Bridget Anne Kelly and David Wildstein were bought. See where I'm going with this.

And with all the e-mails and texts showing that these people had indeed planned the traffic nightmare...the only errors on everybody's part has been to the why. Well, for a price I believe these two individuals sold their souls to the she-devil to ruin the Republican frontrunner's reputation and derail his run for the presidency. Makes sense when one puts two and two together...closing the bridge would NOT hurt the mayor as the bridge is NOT under his auspices but is run by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and to pay back a mayor for NOT endorsing him really makes NO sense as Christie was a shoe-in to win re-election right from the beginning.

But still Christie is in trouble for a sitting governor is responsible for the actions of his staff NO matter the circumstances involved...unless we find Kelly and Wildstein suddenly living the high life for Christie remains adamant that he is NOT involved and may very well be telling the truth.

“I am outraged and deeply saddened to learn that not only was I misled by a member of my staff, but this completely inappropriate and unsanctioned conduct was made without my knowledge,” Christie said in a prepared statement. “This behavior is not representative of me or my administration in any way, and people will be held responsible for their actions.”

So even though when this story first broke Christie called the entire matter "not that big a deal," and even though he in bad taste joked to the press about moving the traffic cones himself, it is NOT out of the whelm of possibilities that this man has been set-up to fall by the very woman who would do any and everything to sit in the Oval Office and finish the destruction of America that Barack HUSSEIN Obama started.

Just something to think about but it makes more sense than an act of political payback that would be anything but.
