A New York Times article has revealed that Administration-related “news” reported by the national press corps must first be approved for publication by Barack Hussein Obama.
Times contributor Jeremy Peters has revealed that in exchange for access to White House officials, reporters must promise the Administration full authority to exclude, redact, or edit any and all statements made by those officials. This provides Obama with “veto power” over information printed by a purportedly free and vigilant American media. (1)
Certainly, Jeremy Peters must be congratulated for bringing this information to the American public. But the way in which he presents this despicable story of media manipulation is perhaps even more revealing than the story itself. For according to Peters, members of the press corps have been “reluctant” to yield dominion over their journalistic autonomy to the White House. “‘We don’t like the practice,’ said Dean Baquet, managing editor for news at the New York Times.” “ ‘We encourage out reporters to push back.’ ”
But what, precisely, is it about this Obama Administration practice that offends New York Times reporters? Is it that the man they worked so diligently to put in the White House, the man whose past they refused to investigate, the man for whom they provided cover and excuses for, is suddenly asking that they sacrifice their ethical standards? Are these reporters ashamed that they are lending their name to White House press releases posing as news articles? Are they concerned that an appearance of bias might be associated with their work?
And against whom, exactly, would this New York Times editor suggest his honest and faithful cabal of reporters “push back?” Would it be against an Administration with which they share a common social, economic, and political vision?
The Washington, DC press corps has eagerly supported the schemes and dreams of Barack Obama for years. They are dedicated, fellow members of the far left, working at every turn to advance the cause of their Marxist leader in the White House. If they are in any way at odds with the thuggish media practices of the Administration, it is only because their feelings are hurt by the thought Obama might not trust them to adequately protect or advance his interests!
Yet even as their dangerous and dishonest practices are exposed, members of the media seek to protect and excuse themselves with the claim that they only very reluctantly allow the Obama Administration to write, publish, and represent pro-Regime press releases as “news!” A laughably dishonest claim of journalistic objectivity right to the bitter end.
One reporter, at least, has finally admitted that Obama writes his own news. And we all know there is nothing “reluctant” about it.

Yes and obummer would like to edit and sensor all our news, internet or otherwise!
Gee, and why do you think he signed that "Executive Order" on the 6th of July to be able to have our Cell Phones, Land Lines, Internet, and Radio Station broadcasts shut off whenever he wants. Exactly for this reason, so that only "HIS VIEW" will be released by the Media, and not the TRUTH.
It is Pravda, American-style! Those reporters should turn their backs on obtaining info from the white house and stop using the official lines of communication. Obummer would have a cow if no one was there to listen to his golden words. Imagine a press conference, ….where there was no press. The press had better wake up and smell the communistic coffee and stop buying into what obummer wants and doesn't want. DO WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT!
They're all in agreement….they won't turn their backs….Pravda has given us more news about the creep than all of our "liberal media outlets" combined.
Does anyone know what Pravda literally means??? Answer: TRUTH The sad fact is that Pravda today is more truthful than any of the American news media.
Pretty soon Obama will have Joseph Goebbels as his press secretary, the more i hear about Obama the more i believe that he wants to be a dictator.
…and the irony of ironies is that Obama already is a Dictator but none dare "report" it. What is so pathetic is that you have GOP Neocon shills and idiots like Sean Insanity who said back in 2008 that the MSM is dead, yet he is a part of that same dead MSM himself in that he willfully capitulated on his own beliefs by complying with Faux News orders to no longer report on the birther issue. I remember distinctly back in 2008 before McShamnesty became the GOP nominee that Hannity absolutely despised everything about McShamnesty on his radio show. Then, one day I was driving home listening to Hannity and I thought Hannity was playing a practical joke on his audience when he came out from the outset of his show 100% for McShamnesty. It's like the guy never had any beliefs whatsoever of his own. That was one of those watershed moments in which I realized many of these people in Talk Radio and the MSM are all just presstitutes playing a part with no moral compass or real convictions whatsoever.
he has to write his own news if the press did it they might tell the truth.. no to much koolaid
Blackmail
of course he checks all of the new york papers news , hi shure dont like annything negative told about him , that makes him lock bad, so narcistic and egoridon, throwe him out and ship him on some island were hi cant come back
I hear Guantanamo is nice this time of year…and he could converse with his Muslim Brothers there.
That is why there is nothing on our votes going to Spain to be tallied. This will ensure a second term for him. Can we say corrupt, again?
Is not this called outsourcing? Did not Obama accuse Romney of outsourcing jobs? What is the federal government doing in outsourcing the most important function of citizens to another country. Oh yes, the company belongs to one of his most generous campaign contributors: Mr Soros.
What happened to the Minds of these reporters???? What would happen if none of them decided to play Obamas game??? Obviously, none would be invited to the White House. Therefore, there would be no reporting on what the Oppressor in Chief had to say. Now, how long do you think the Oppressor would want that?? He needs reporters to report. He cannot have it both ways. If no one shows it indicates there is nothing of significance to report and if they can only report what O-i-C wants, well, how good is that?? Worthless, in my book. The ball was in the reporters court and they dropped it!! Bunch of dummies!
Journalism is one of the easiest idiot majors in college. Most of these dingbats get a low-paying job at their local affiliate station until they become an anchor. The lucky ones get "discovered" and are brought to New York City with a six-figure salary. With that, you have one of the best "presstitute" whores money can buy. All the qualifications for the position is that you can read a Teleprompter – sound familiar???
What a bunch of losers………Hang your undersized heads in the overcrowded halls of journalistic shame…..Many people have sacrificed their utmost in your stead, to protect this jewel we call freedom, however you so cowardly and with such sickening zeal acquiesce, even to the level of complicity, in enabling this would be dictator and champion of small change, to completely eviscerate this self same blood treasure…….Shame shame, shame on you, you should have told Obama to take a speedy hike all the way back to east Germany or north Korea, no wonder your craft is dead, a relic of times past, murdered by the likes of you, along with the truth……You make me sick
That is exactly why the world of "Main Stream Media" News is dying. It's because they aren't reporting the truth, and more and more people are realizing it and turning to the Internet Media Sites like Infowars.Com, Breitbart.Com, Drudge, among others.
CNN has lost all Credibility with American Viewers which is why it placed last amongst all the other "News Media" and Fox News has come out on top, time and time again. Fox, while still being part of the Propaganda Arm of the Main Stream Media, offers more truth in their stories than any other network, and the Lib's just hate that fact!!
During World War II the call from the German military to all of the people was to state, "Hiel Hitler!" and "Sieg Hiel!" As Americans that are having our Constitutional rights destroyed more and more each day is it now time for us to proclaim, "Hiel Obama"? Or should we just recognize the truth as Ray Stevens has stated it in his newest song, "It's an Obama Nation".
Did you mean abomination?
The NY Times is DEAD!!! No one should buy nor read it if the journalists do this, as nothing will be the truth! If they're smart, they will turn their back on the scum in the White House, report the truth about other people and things and let obama rot!
They made the bed; now let them lay in it!
I can't remember the last time I read a newspaper. I don't watch ABC, NBC, CBS or any other MSM outlet. I will on occasion listen to Fox just to get the headlines to look up the facts for myself.
You want the facts, go to the source.
I couldn't agree with you more about ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN,MSNBC or PBS. With idiots like Bill Moyers who should be watching daisies grow from underground telling me they report the truth is like saying Jon Stewart is a news commentator.
Naturally FOX NEWS is not news, they mostly tell the truth, can't have that!!!! NO, NO!
What's most astonishing is how many sheeple are surprised to find this out. Many of you Ron Paul-hating, warmongering, Neocon, bloodthirsty nutjobs thought Faux News was where it was at, didn't you??? NOTTTT!!!! Didn't you guys figure this out when they ditched all talk about Obama's lack of credentials??? Come on, grow a brain!
The story the NYT is not telling you is that the CIA has controlled the news for years. The CIA has already infiltrated the media at all the positions of influence.
Two CIA Directors, William Colby and William Casey, are on record saying this as far back as 1976 and 1981 respectively. let that sink in real good. The same organization that killed Kennedy along with the Secret Service and committed the 911 false-flag and numerous false-flags around the globe to topple regimes are the same goons approving the news you see on the tube.
Did you guys really think you were living in a democratic republic??? Come on, wake up!!!
The Communists behind Obama would never have tried his illegitimate Presidency unless they knew in advance they could count on the US press to comply. Their plans have succeeded beyond their wildest imagination because the hand of God is behind Obama's Presidency. Nothing can stop him. Obama is part of God's Judgment on this nation. Christian prophets have seen this. He cannot be stopped even if Romney wins the election. He knows nobody will do anything to remove him from office, and so he will stay at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue regardless of the election. The American People and the idiots in Congress and our courts still haven't figured out that Communists once they take the Presidency NEVER LEAVE until they have killed off all of their enemies. Many Christians will be killed by this evil man very soon. The Christians are always the first to be killed. Obama has been designated to enslave the American People as punishment from Almighty God. Leave now if you can.
Quit sending out this type of BULLSHIT
What do you expect from a tar baby who wants to be king so he can keep the Grape Ape(Moochella) in the style she's been accustomed to living on the tax payers dime.This is the reason he knocks Fox because they don't let him OK what they're going to say or print.
Journalistic integrity is on its last legs. So-called journalists apparently never learned, or cared enough to fight for – 'Freedom of the Press.' They sure haven't put up any resistance. These days, they have been so adversely affected by the status quo, they see gossip and actually believe it to BE news. Today, we followed a motorcyclist down a highway for what seemed like forever. We don't care about some nut wanting his 15 minutes of fame …. and these teleprompter readers want to give that to the motorcycle nut – because they think everyone else in the country is interested! A semi turns over in Chicago, and instantly, it's on national news. That is local news, people! Today's 'news' channels remind us of our long-ago, small-town news on TV or radio!
Whenever something happens that IS newsworthy, they immediately seek high and low to put on 'talking heads for their opinions or surmisals;' this is their version of a 'journalistic interview.' Then, they will milk it and milk it for days. Give us all a break, please! We don't want chase scenes, we don't want unimportant, uninvolved talking heads droning on and on with their uninformed, and oftentimes, uneducated opinions. If 24/7 news is going to be on our televisions, brighter and more mature heads need to sit up and take notice, because so far they've beern doing a lousy job. Whatever happened to real investigative reporting? These newspeople simply surf the net to get what they give us, for the most part. The saddest part of all is that they're sitting on the biggest scandal – the biggest news story – in the history of the world, and they'd rather be a part of it rather than exercise their freedom to expose the truth to the people. Top management has chosen to provide protection, aide and comfort to the enemy. When and if the truth fully comes out — the 'press' has a lot of explaining to do; like the government – they will have to re- earn the trust of the public. If they can.
"All the News that's fit to Print" !!!!! RIGHT!!!!! What a sell out "news" organization!!!
When the Constitutional eligibility issue was deep-sixed by the GOP and the MSM and most all of Talk radio, that was a watershed moment in which knew the TRUTH, THE 1ST AMENDMENT, and the PRESS were officially DEAD and no longer FREE in the USA. Without a 1st or 2nd Amendment and a FREE PRESS, the USA will be over very quickly.
Even Rush Bimbo is dodging the Constitutional birther issue…

I no longer listen to Talk Radio or any of the news on tv. It's all frankly a waste of my time when it's nothing more than controlled CIA propaganda. Limbaugh is clearly on the take just as is his party, the GOP.
More Mob Rule from Nob Hill by the Imposter In Chief.
