At the beginning of the year the World Press Photo of the year was awarded to Swedish photog Paul Hansen whose photo “Gaza Burial” took top honors. But only weeks passed before some in the industry began to wonder if the photo had been manipulated in photoshop. Some even said that it was a composite image. If this were so, critics said, that would violate the spirit of the contest. (Seen below with my little “helping” notation)

This is pretty sickening. The New York Times is outraged. The Washington Post is incensed. USA Today is scandalized. The Detroit Free Press is fit to be tied.
{paginate} {/paginate} Chris Matthews: No Longer “Glad” for Hurricane Sandy and Reelection of Obama?By John Lillpop Thursday, May 16, 2013
Chris Matthews is one of the major reasons that the US media is regarded with such contempt and disrespect by enlightened voters.
{paginate} {/paginate} Has Chris Matthews lost the tingle?By Robert Laurie Wednesday, May 15, 2013
Two days ago, as the IRS targeted audit scandal widened, Chris “Tingles” Matthews portrayed it as the kind of red meat sure to delight the right-wing crazies. He suggested that Obama should immediately punish the low level, not-connected-to-the-White-House-in-any-way, embarrassments as quickly as possible.

If you’re the kind of person who believes that all governments trend toward tyranny, the left portrays you as a kook. If you believe that this is happening to the U.S. Government, under the guidance of Barack Obama, you’re a accused of being a tinfoil-hat nutjob.
{paginate} {/paginate} Obama’s MSNBC WhoreBy Arnold Ahlert Tuesday, May 14, 2013
Yesterday, administration was involved in a cover-up. “If this was some effort on our part to try to downplay what had happened or tamp it down, that would be a pretty odd thing that three days later we end up putting out all the information,” Obama said. “Who executes some sort of cover-up or effort to tamp things down for three days? So the whole thing defies logic.” Equally willing to defy logic was Obama’s MSNBC # Chris Matthews, who has been more than eager to carry water for the Obama administration. Indeed, Matthews’ coverage of the unrelenting Benghazi scandal has distinguished itself as being particularly loathsome.
Last Thursday, Matthews was in fine form. After acknowledging that Greg Hicks, former deputy chief of mission in Libya, had testified before the House that he had spoken with Hillary Clinton on the night of the attack and that Clinton’s Chief of Staff tried to intimidate him into silence, Matthews downplayed the egregiousness of the former secretary of State’s scandalous behavior.
{paginate} {/paginate} Libya policy a ‘failure’ Benghazi talking points ‘politically scrubbed’ ...says Dennis Kucinich?By Robert Laurie Monday, May 13, 2013
As the Benghazi story continues to gather steam, more and more left-wing rats are jumping off the President’s sinking ship. Take, for example, Dennis Kucinich. For thirteen years, he was one of the most staunchly liberal members of the House, a constant thorn in the side of the Bush administration, and a vocal supporter of Barack Obama. It was only when The President launched his illegal warin Libya that Kucinich seemed to sour on the administration.

First, NBC outed Democrat attempts to destroy the Benghazi whistleblowers, now ABC News is shredding the official White House version of events. It’s starting to look like the President’s media lapdogs have finally been shamed into exposing their favorite administration.

The fact that Lisa Myers goes on Morning Joe and actually tells us about it, rather than just taking the marching orders, might be an indication that the media fears for its own credibility if it keeps whitewashing this thing.
{paginate} {/paginate} The Media Runs DefenseBy Alan Caruba Thursday, May 9, 2013
On May 8th as the House committee hearing about the Benghazi attack occurred, you could have tuned through every major network with the notable exception of Fox News and (a) not found any coverage or (b) found so little coverage that you would not even have known it was occurring. Even C-SPAN dropped the ball, devoting that time period to the blathering in the Senate.
In a chart put forth by the Media Research Center, the disparity should be an embarrassment to MSNBC and CNN, but it clearly is not. In their view, Americans should not be informed of the way the U.S. ambassador in Libya and three defenders were completely abandoned by the White House, State Department, Department of Defense, and the CIA. One could have sat in the White House situation room and watched the attack as it took place.
