Where Are the Investigative Reports?

For decades Presidential candidates have been pulled through the proverbial door of investigative reporters as they announced their intention to run for Office. Few have made it beyond a few months and for those that have been party Nominees, the investigations and scrutiny usually get much more intense.

That is until now.

Other than the Fox News Channel and some popular radio talking heads like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannidy, few pundits or "news entities" have even remotely come close to putting Barack Obama under the expected and deserved microscope of character, beliefs, judgment and experience. It is almost shocking to watch media outlets like CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, other mainstream outlets and almost every most popular news anchor as they all have let Obamamania cloud their own professional and ethical duties.

Back in 2004 the media spent weeks looking into President Bush's past military experience with the National Guard claiming it was "news worthy". Weeks mind you. They have recently spent weeks trying to dig up information on Governor Palin over her dealings with the firing of her brother-in-law in Alaska. If such issues are deemed "news worthy" and "the public has a right to know" how is it then that this same media can ignore the incredible list of even more glaring issues and concerns over Barack Obama?

This man has been tied to former terrorists (both domestic and international), his family background is highly confusing, his legitimate birth story is questionable, he even stated in his own autobiography he trained himself to think like a Marxist, he has ties to figures who have since been found guilty of fraud such as Rezko, he has received financial support from radical groups in other nations which if even indirectly is highly illegal for a Presidential candidate, he is friends or "associates" with people that spew racial slurs and hate against America including his own pastor of over 20 years, he has used money to gain the lead in the race to the tune of nearly $1billion dollars, he has less than 3 years experience of any kind and even that time was spent on his own career as he voted "present" most of the time, he is not shy about being an extreme liberal with redistribution beliefs, he questions our very Constitution and there is MUCH more I could list.

Yet the news CNN and the like choose to spend their money and time on is how McCain rallies are supposedly full of anger and hate or how much money the GOP spent on the wardrobe of Sarah Palin? I mean come on! Are you serious?

Evidently people like me demanding these issues be asked and looked into, are merely "full of hate" and our intentions are racially motivated. But truth is history shows, as do recent social polls, that the media reports more favorable news about Obama than McCain. Obama's track record or connections are rarely questioned yet McCain and Palin are given little if any slack. I was even told by one commentor today that "I am being judgmental" by daring to ask such questions about this man. Since when did asking honest, investigative questions become an issue of "judging someone"? I am no judge, I am simply an American who has a right to know who it is that might potential be telling me what to do.

Can you imagine if McCain was the one with the past Obama has? It would be a ruthless, hourly attack that he likely would not survive.

Yet, Obama is a man that wants to control the most powerful office in the world and these "reporters" refuse to even dig deeper than asking a few surface level questions at best?

Today the LA Times reported they have in their possession a video of Obama at a 2003 farewell party praising the likes of Rashid Khalidi, a known terrorist and anti-Jewish supporter. Apparently Obama is said to have "showered the man with praises" and spoken "highly of the man". Read it here:

Where are the 20/20 Investigative reports? Where is ABC's Charles Gibson and his demeaning stare behind those glasses? Where is CNN's Wolf Blitzer and the "Situation Room"? Where is the NBC Dateline report? Where are the local news reports, the newspaper special editions or the magazine inside scoops? They are too focused on Palin's clothes, McCain's rallies or President Bush who is on his way out anyway.

They are guilty of investigative omission; failure to report on stories with facts they are fully aware of.

Without FoxNews and the likes of Rush and Hannidy, not even I would know the truth. In the meantime, their failure to report could be the result of us having one of the most inexperienced, radical, big spending, infanticide, liberal, anti-American President in history.
