Elizabeth Lauten, communications director for Rep. Stephen Fincher, R-Tenn., has resigned in the wake of comments she made on Facebook about Sasha and Malia Obama.
For the Today Show, that was the top story of the day:
The "scandal" of the Malia & Sasha Facebook post led the Today show this morning. I remember when that was considered a news program.

It’s almost as if they’re ignoring some stories on purpose.
Worth noting, the Today Show ignored the story of Gruber's WH visits but runs a story on random GOP staffer's FB post http://t.co/L21amq2ide

Jonathan Gruber? That name might ring a bell to anyone who doesn’t get all their news from certain mainstream outlets.
@brianjameswalsh 'Gruber who?' @MattCover

@brianjameswalsh how much time did they spend on Gruber?

And of course, in your example their aim is beyond ignoring real news, it is aimed to shape opinion against the GOP. @JonahNRO

@JonahNRO Funny how Obama girls are the victims, yet Palin girls are always being victimized by same MSM

The Lauten story is at the center of the MSM’s radar screen, while other important stories with real consequences for the country are nowhere to be found:
