Jun 2013

is that the very people that were castigating the media, not 2 months ago (and throughout the entire 2012 election season) have suddenly found a new respect for the truthiness and accuracy in reporting of that very same media! Even when, as the article indicates, a deeper look at the "reporting" demonstrates holes, inaccuracies and out-right falsehoods.

I guess we really do believe what we believe, facts be damned. And, questioning of the first reports out (that have time and again proven inaccurate) is no longer a Democratic virtue; but rather, a sign of (President) Obama cheering and enabling, if not secretly desiring a totalitarian, fascist state.
