Just last week, Greg Gutfeld brilliantly dubbed the media “Obama’s scandal condom.” Now, it’s Ace’s turn.
While a handful of MSM reporters (thank you, Sharyl Attkisson and Jake Tapper) were doing their due diligence before the onset of Scandalpalooza, most journos didn’t start asking questions and digging for answers until the AP phone records scandal broke. But had the MSM been willing to put aside their blind worship of Obama and actually view him through a critical lens, we might have learned about the scandals’ depth much, much sooner.
This afternoon, the magnificent Ace of Spades tore into media lapdogs like David Gregory for dutifully protecting the president from well-deserved scrutiny:
Watchdogs. "The Fourth Estate." Don't make me laugh. "The Fourth Branch of Government" is much more accurate.

@Doc_0 as far as I can tell like two people are interested.

@Doc_0 or three. Less than five, in any event.

Government is a corporation whose main business is auctioning the power to coerce one group of people off to another group, every four years

I always enjoy the media's reaction when we suggest a Democrat would be lying/breaking the law: "BUT *WHY* WOULD THEY?!!"
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 17, 2013
Gee, I don't know, same reason people lie at Lehrman Brothers… becuase they fucked up, because they broke the law,…
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 17, 2013
…because they CAN, and they don't want their careers damaged. It's easier to lie than to confess. How about for all those normal reasons?

But to hear the Leftist Obama Suckers of C*** in the media, anytime we suggest a Democrat may be lying for his own benefit…

…the media reacts as if we'd just announced we were planning to ride dinosaurs to Titan, Moon of Saturn.

I love @davidgregory pretending to be perplexed with @jasoninthehouse : WHY WOULD THERE BE A COVER UP?!! WHY?!! WHY?!!
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) May 17, 2013
Gee I don't know, @davidgregory. But in my experience people usually lie when they've done something they don't want other people to know.

On planet Left Liberal Apologism, where you come from, @davidgregory, when do the native creatures lie?

@AceofSpadesHQ the only way that dumb “miraculously scandal free WH” piece of @jonathanalter’s got written is b/c media refused to look.
