EXPOSING MEDIA BIAS
Media Research Center exposes the media bias on the Solyndra Scandal of the Obama Administration..
Three broadcast networks are providing
virtually no coverage of Obama’s growing Solyndra scandal -- a solar energy
firm that went belly-up after being handed $535 million in taxpayer
money from the Obama administration.
In the just-released analysis by the Media Research Center, this
is in stark contrast to network coverage of the Enron scandal back in 2001 and
2002.
Solyndra was once the poster child for the new green jobs
agenda. Run by wealthy Democrat Mega-donors and given $535 Million tax dollars
in loan guarantees under Obama’s “Stimulus,” Solyndra quickly collapsed –
leaving taxpayers holding the bag.
Since its August 31, 2011 bankruptcy filing, Solyndra has been
mentioned in only eight news stories on ABC, CBS and NBC’s evening newscasts. Over a similar time period, the same
liberal networks aired 198 stories on Enron, supporting attempts to tie the
Democratic-leaning energy company to President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
The disparity between Enron coverage and Solyndra coverage is
24-1. (Perhaps the real scandal in the eyes of our newsroom socialists is that
when Enron went to the Bush administration begging for a bailout, they were
sent away empty handed.) Back then, the so-called “news” media desperately
attempted to twist a story of corporate fraud into one of political malfeasance
…
Not so with Obama. He gets a pass.
MRC President Brent Bozell is calling out the media, saying they
are “aiding and abetting in the cover-up of an outrageous scandal linked
directly to Obama and his failed economic policies.”
Bozell explained, “These networks are intentionally minimizing
coverage to avoid reporting the failure and scandal that resulted under Obama’s
watch for the same stimulus package they hailed in 2009.
“What further compounds the hypocrisy of ignoring this scandal
is the excessive, glowing coverage these same networks are giving the Occupy
Wall Street protests. While they gather to oppose ‘corporate greed,’ the media
quietly dismiss the most outrageous scandal in years – financed by taxpayer
dollars.”
+ + Exposing The Leftist Media’s Bias and Hypocrisy
The Obama-controlled media are committed to their black-out of
the Solyndra scandal. In fact, they have convenient amnesia for anything that
could derail Obama’s re-election bid.
Fortunately, the MRC is taking notice --
refusing to give Obama a pass, and calling out the media for protecting him.
Our CNSNews.com division is hot on the trail of Solyndra and other important
stories that you won’t read in the liberal media. At the same time, our News
Analysis Division is carefully monitoring and exposing attempts by the hacks at
ABC, NBC, CBS and elsewhere to lie, distort and whitewash scandals in slavish
devotion to President Obama.
So that patriotic Americans like members of the MRC Action team
can take part in this campaign, we’ve launched our national petition demanding
the Leftist media provide balanced and honest election coverage. Scandals like
Solyndra must be brought to public view, so the American people know the truth. Source
