Liberal Journalists Plotted to Protect Obama From Rev. Wright Scandal, Online Mag Says

It's funny how conspiracy theories suddenly become reality. Anyone who couldn't see what was going on during the obama campaign is either completely blind or extremely naive. Had everything been on a level playing field, there should have been no way that scandal after scandal got swept under the rug.

The jeremiah wright scandal was only one of many, how about william ayers or tony rezko? How about all of obama's documents suddenly being sealed? The birth certificate issue? The certificate of live birth the obama team posted online was not an official hawaii birth certificate given to a child born in the state.

Anyone who really listens to obama or his wife speak can hear the words of jeremiah wright. mobama talking about never being proud of her country is a prime example. Of course, they had to tone it down for the general public, but the same radical, anti-American theme is there if you listen.

The worst part of this scandal is how easily obama kicked wright to the curb. If you think about it, obama wanted to be president so bad he would treat a man he had known and respected for 20 years with such disregard. He compromised his morals and values with too much ease. If he will sell out his most cherished friends, what else is he willing to do to us?

A group of liberal journalists in 2008 sought to sweep under the rug the Rev. Jeremiah Wright scandal that threatened to derail then-Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign, according to documents obtained by The Daily Caller, an online publication founded by Tucker Carlson, a conservative contributor for Fox News.

The documents offer evidence to conservative critics who have long held that the mainstream media were in the tank for Obama, and bolsters the argument that reporters with major news outlets are biased in their coverage.

Journalists working for Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic expressed outrage over the tough questioning Obama received from ABC anchors Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos at a debate and some of them plotted to protect Obama from the swirling controversy, according to the Daily Caller.

Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent pressed his fellow journalists to deflect attention from Obama's relationship with Wright by shifting topics to one of Obama's conservative critics, the Daily Caller reported.

"Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares – and call them racists," Ackerman wrote.

Michael Tomasky, a writer for the Guardian, urged his fellow members of Journolist, a private listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, to do "what we can to kill ABC and this idiocy in whatever venues we have."

"This isn't about defending Obama," he wrote. "This is about how the [mainstream media] kills any chance of discourse that actually serves the people."

The Journolist members went as far as issuing a statement – one that was shaped with the help of Jared Bernstein who went on to become Vice President Biden's top economist -- calling the debate "a revolting descent into tabloid journalism and a gross disservice to Americans concerned about the great issues facing the nation and the world."

Journolist was shut down last month after leaks exposing member Dave Wiegel's scornful remarks of conservatives led to his resignation at the Washington Post as a blogger covering the conservative movement.
