Leftist Media Actual Conspired to Kill Stories and Smear Conservatives

Even though many people suspected it all along it turns out to be true.

Others went further. According to records obtained by The Daily Caller, at several points during the 2008 presidential campaign a group of liberal journalists took radical steps to protect their favored candidate. Employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage.

In one instance, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”

In other words the leftist media pretty much buried the story that might have damaged their golden boy and just wanted to throw the racist tag at any Conservative writer they could get in their sights. If the media wasn't dying already the idea that they all hide the news from you should be the final nail in their coffin.

There is no such thing as journalistic integrity in a business that literally conspires to keep you from learning the truth. I guess you can now call it the Pravda Era of American Journalism and simply ignore vast swaths of the main stream media as news hiders and not news reporters.
