MEDIA BIAS DRONES ON, YET THERE MAY BE HOPE FOR THE PALM BEACH POST!


This is an update to my 2/5/2013 post. Unlike the mainstream media, I hope to be fair and give credit when credit is due.
On occasion, when a story has broken and can’t be ignored, when the tide flows strong against the Democrats, “The Palm Beach Post” editors will jump in the water and go with the flow by reporting what they can no longer hide.

ANDREW MARRA AND "THE PALM BEACH POST" JOIN THE POOL OF JOURNALISM!



To his credit, Andrew Mara of the Post got his feet wet today 02/11/2013 in an “Editorial: Obama ignores Constitution in killing U.S. citizens overseas: “President Barack Obama has asserted the right to assassinate U.S. citizens on a secret kill list who are too difficult to capture, without having to offer proof of their guilt or their threat to public safety. No court need review his decision, and the government need not even acknowledge its role in the killing.”
         
Wow! To read that in the Democrat Palm Beach Post brings renewed hope for  fairness in the media!
        
Now that the Post acknowledges Obama’s most recent violation of our Constitution, a violation involving the murder of a 16yr. old U.S. citizen, will they lead the call for impeachment proceedings? Don’t count on that, Obama is a Democrat.

         In yet another unusual random act of journalism on 02/08/2013 the Palm Beach Post mentioned the huge, local scandal involving potential Medicare fraud and alleged pedophilia by Democrat big wigs Palm Beach Dr. Melgen and N.J. Senator Menendez. The problem with the report "Menendez denies trying to help his largest donor" was that only part of the scandal was reported, the Medicare Fraud. As you can tell by the title it was mostly a piece in defense Menendez, reporting Democrat Party denials, not a probing interview.
But the fact that the scandal was at least recognized instills hope. Maybe a few honest journalist will transform the Palm Beach Rag into a legitimate news publication!

How did this reporting happen? Were the leftist editors on vacation last week? Here is my original post written before the Palm Beach Post’s two random acts of journalism



MEDIA BIAS DRONES ON; SCANDAL AFTER SCANDAL IS IGNORED BY “THE PALM BEACH POST”!

SEE NO DEMOCRAT EVIL

2/5/2013

As usual, the editors of “The Palm Beach Post” are dedicating their resources to attacking local and national Republican politicians even as Democrat and Obama Administration scandals pile up faster than dead, human bodies on the streets of  Chicago, Mexico, Afghanistan, Syria, Benghazi, Egypt and Mali!

Randy Schultz used his Sunday 2/03/2013 editorial to criticize Florida Governor Rick Scott for moderating his positions, cynically claiming that Scott’s decisions are being made to position him for re-election. While Schultz continued his perpetual (free of charge) political campaign against the Florida Republican Party and Gov. Scott on behalf of the Democrat Party, he ignored the huge breaking local scandal involving West Palm Beach’s mega DNC supporter Dr. Salomon Melgan, a scandal with nationwide tentacles.
The journalists of the Post not only ignore Democrat corruption, they participate in defending the perps by attacking anyone who opposes the Obama administration as Jac Versteeg did by implying that the Benghazi hearings are purely political! Nationwide, the biased media downplays incidents of Democrat Party corruption while practically genuflecting to our Imperial leader, King Barrack Hussein Obama. Political opponents who question our man-child King are attacked, ridiculed and mocked by nonsensical, late night entertainers providing low information Democrat viewers their only news source with which to form political opinion.

Here is just a sampling of the Democrat scandals that receive little coverage, especially in the Palm Beach Post:

Issue #1: A DOJ drone policy memo was leaked to Michael Isikoff of NBC. It decrees that despite the 5th Amendment, King Obama has authority to use drones to assassinate people on his kill list including American citizens without judicial process!

Issue #2: Democrat N.J. Senator Robert Menendez was caught taking over $58,000 of unreported gifts. The media helped cover-up Menendez’s illegality until after his re-election!

Issue #3: Major DNC contributor, Dr. Salomon Melgan of Palm Beach, Fl., is accused of gaining political favors for his large financial contributions to the DNC and for providing prostitutes in the Dominican Republic- including underage minors- to Democrat Party members!

Issue #4: The Benghazi scandal deepens as Leon Panetta’s testimony today further depicts the Obama Administration’s incompetence and Obama’s lack of ability as Commander in Chief to answer “the call at 3AM” as terrorists killed four Americans!

 Issue #5: The “Fast and Furious” weapons continue to take lives in Mexico as the DOJ and the media thumbs its nose at any call for responsibility in Obama’s gun running, anti-second amendment scheme!

Issue #1
The left demanded that President Bush be tried for war crimes before ‘The Hague” because he allowed enhanced interrogation of captured terrorists on 3 occasions.  Bush did not provide civilian trials in N.Y. for the captured foreign combatants held at Gitmo, nor did he house the poor little jihadists in sufficient luxury or provide them with their desired cuisine of choice; thus the evil President Bush incurred the wrath of the left and the Democrat Party.  With few exceptions, it is now permissible to the media for a Democrat President, to make a kill list and personally select individuals to assassinate with drone strikes as the targets along with their entire families; visitors and unfortunate innocent neighbors are incinerated without trial! Estimates are that over 3,000 people have been killed in this manner. The left said that by holding captured terrorists at Gitmo, Bush was creating new generations of jihadists that hate America. Imagine what flying drones over their heads and blowing up homes will do for the cause!

“updated 8:33 PM EDT, Tue September 25, 2012
Stanford/NYU report -- titled "Living Under Drones" -- offers starker figures published by The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, an independent organization based at City University in London.
"TBIJ reports that from June 2004 through mid-September 2012, available data indicate that drone strikes killed 2,562 - 3,325 people in Pakistan, of whom 474 - 881 were civilians, including 176 children. TBIJ reports that these strikes also injured an additional 1,228 - 1,362 individuals," according to the Stanford/NYU study.”

I find it amusing to watch all the lefties on MSNBC squirm in their seats as they stutter and equivocate, attempting to rationalize drone assassinations as they defend Obama.
(P.S. Personally I do not condemn these drone strikes if solid intelligence is found against foreigners in the theater of conflict and provided some type of oversight is in place. I hold this view without hypocrisy; I would give an Independent or Republican administration the same powers.)

Most residents of South Florida are well aware of the pro-Democrat bias of  “The Palm Beach Post”. Conservative Republicans can do no right as Randy Schultz demonstrated in Sunday’s editorial, while Democrats can do no wrong as long as they support a progressive left, pro-Democrat Party agenda. This code of silence and protection apparently pertains to events even when they occur at the very doorstep of the corrupt Palm Beach Post.

Issue #2
N.J. Senator Robert Menendez, Chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has been caught attempting to hide nearly $60,000 worth of private flights to the Dominican Republic. Laughably, the Senator claims it was an oversight and he has now reimbursed his benefactor Palm Beach resident Dr. Salomon Melgen for over 58,000!  The media knew of, but withheld reporting this illegality until after Menendez’s successful re-election. That malfeasance would not be considered much of a story to the Post do to the fact that both the Doctor and the Senator are prominent Democrats. But the scandal goes much, much deeper and possibly threatens the entire DNC including chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz who has received huge campaign donations from Melgen's allegedly dirty Medicare fraud money pot. That is why the Palm Beach Post will start to circle the wagons to the left to protect the DNC.

Emerging FBI evidence shows that the two Democrat fat cats were allegedly involved and participated in sex parties and underage prostitution in the Dominican Republic. Robert Menendez was an outspoken critic of the secret service agent scandal involving prostitutes in Columbia.

Will Senator Menendez now take his own advice and resign?

The FBI has raided and seized Dr. Melgen’s office files in West Palm Beach, Florida. Melgan’s ties run long and deep in the Democrat Party especially in Palm Beach County, Fl. Although the Palm Beach Post apparently has not discovered this breaking news, our neighbors to the south at The Miami Herald are aware of the scandals.

The following is a report from the Miami Herald .com:


I have found almost no coverage of this local and growing scandal concerning Palm Beach ophthalmologist Dr. Melgen, Senator Menendez and prominent Florida Democrats in the corrupt “Palm Beach Post”!

Here is more reporting of events that The Palm Beach Post hopes to whitewash. The Daily Caller reports this:

Melgen, 59, is believed to have flown Menendez in his private jet to the Dominican Republic on several occasions for alcohol-fueled sex parties featuring prostitutes. (RELATED: Emails show FBI investigating Sen. Bob Menendez for sleeping with underage Dominican prostitutes)

Click the following link for the whole story:


More details inevitably will spill out as both Melgen and Menendez become tangled in multiple investigations. The Senate Ethics Committee is looking into whether Menendez accepted inappropriate gifts from Melgen and FBI agents carted away evidence seized from Melgen’s offices. The media is being dragged reluctantly into the fray claiming that there is no solid evidence yet. Do they ever give such deference to conservatives? Hello Dan Rather and company!  

Update: Leon Panetta testified about the Benghazi attack. He said Obama spent 30 min. at the beginning of the 8-hour attack getting information and then never called for updates and never took defensive military action as the Americans waited in-vane for help and died. In the Aftermath, CNN reporters were on scene and recovered our Ambassadors diary before Obama and Panetta sent in our military!

The Post does not only ignore the Obama Administration's incompetence and dishonest cover story, but on Jan. 29th 2013, Democrat propagandist Jac Versteeg defined the questioning of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton concerning her role in the Benghazi massacre as “a tribute to political egosRepublicans used the hearings to compile video clips for use against Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if she runs for president in 2016”.  Imagine how the loved ones of the dead Americans who want accountability will regard that analysis from Versteeg!


Even after the damming, not believable testimony, and witnessing Hillary completely lose composer by flailing her arms and screaming, “What difference does it make…” Versteeg and the Democrat media elites defend anything she or this Democrat administration does.

See Hillary sporting prophylactic, military, boot camp style eyeglasses lose her cool; click this link:


How can this person still be considered presidential material? Her incompetence as Secretary of State should eliminate her from contention and that un-presidential hissy fit leaves little doubt that she is not up for the call to action at 3am!

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IF SHE SENT SUSAN RICE OUT TO LIE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION?


Issue #5
The dust of the Fast and Furious settles into the sunset, a distant memory, showing us that the long held tradition of our media holding the government responsible for scurrilous activity no longer exists when Democrats hold power.  That is why we must investigate the issues ourselves. Find the truth and spread it to your friends and neighbors. Hold the Government and the Media accountable. The Palm Beach post will not tell you the truth, to them, “The means justify the end”; the end being socialism at best. Randy and Jac are to busy working as a campaign organizers and propagandists for the Democrat party. Their goal is to defeat Republicans and Independents and advance leftist policy, not inform the public.



That’s why the Palm Beach Post Sucks!

Martin Luther King, Jr.: “Immoral means cannot bring moral ends, for the ends are pre-existent in the means.”
 After the death of president John F. Kennedy, the worldwide advance of Communism beyond Russia, China and Cuba accelerated into Asia, Africa, Central and South America, as did the influence of the progressive movement here in The United States. Our Universities and media institutions have become re-education instruments for socialist propagandists. Their success is evident by the 2012 election and the “dumbing” down of the American youth.
