May 2012

I know and have posted this a few times on DU. Anderson and Wolf Blitzer I have been watching them for a while as I have a lot of so called journalists after Obama became President just to be sure I wasn't jumping the gun.

Dylan Ratigan is another on if you say this though they will claim they are doing their job and that we on the left think you can't say anything negative about the President.

They seem to forget that a lot of us have been watching Presidents' for decades and we can tell the difference if it is subtle or blatant.

I also watch many of these people who show up on these shows to sell book after book to fit their own agenda and make money.

Many of these talking heads were afraid of Bush and Cheney. Many are now leaking and talking about Osama and running over each other with lies to sell books.

Every day another book rewriting history. YOU FAKE HYPOCRITICAL PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA,YOU AREN'T FOOLING ANYONE BUT THOSE WHO MAY HAVE JUST BEGUN TO WATCH WHAT GOES ON IN POLITICS!
