We have often pointed out the incestuous relationship that exists between the Obama administration and the mainstream media--a media that have largely bought the administration's line that matters such as Benghazi, Operation Fast and Furious, and the IRS abuses amount to phony scandals.

And, so far, the media have bent to these restrictions with little protest.
