…that are just lapdogs when it comes to Democrats:
President Obama is no different. Whether it’s responding to Congress, media questions, or FOIA requests, this administration is no better than its predecessor. The big difference: Obama is a Democrat. And because he is a Democrat, he’s gotten a pass from many of the civil liberty and good-government groups who spent years watching President Bush’s every move like a hawk.
No one knows this better than John Kiriakou, the CIA agent who reported to federal prison two weeks ago for blowing the whistle on the agency’s use of torture. During an interview at an Arlington, Va., coffee shop, Kiriakou said the time has come for Washington watchdog groups—organizations like Public Citizen, Project on Government Oversight, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, and others—to admit that President Obama hasn’t come close to making good on his promise to make government more transparent and accountable.
“Dan Ellsberg. He called me again last night,” said Kiriakou, referring to the man who in 1971 leaked the Pentagon Papers and opened the world’s eyes to the United States’ long involvement in Vietnam. “We talk about this all the time. He keeps asking me, ‘Where is the outrage? If this were a Republican administration, people would be in the streets, right? We would be marching in the streets. But people cut Obama a break to the point of irrationality.’
Far beyond it, actually. Apparently, the only way we’ll ever get accountability in government is to put Republicans back in charge. It shouldn’t be that way.
Those with media bias should be hounded out of their jobs never to work in the field again. Not being serious, I would suggest media certification and licensing that would monitor them for bias and revoke their privileges should they fail.
Yes, not being serious. Hounding I am serious about… Be Breitbart.
How? Use the tactics of the left. Choose a target (behind closed doors of course.) Then, with no collusion at all of course, keep up the pressure until they are gone. Then choose a new target. Without mercy or pang of conscience.
Perhaps it’s time for those groups to admit they’re nothing more than shills for the Democrat party. Perhaps if they told the truth, their tax status would be open to challenge.
