Crucifying Dr. Corsi
The least surprising thing to me this week has been the MSM and their concerted effort to discredit Dr. Jerome Corsi and his #1 NY Times best selling book “Obama Nation”.
After Dr. Corsi appeared with me last week on the show I knew it was only a matter of time before the MSM went after him for having the nerve, the temerity to attack the annointed “One”, Barack H— (Don’t say it!) Obama.
The Harvard educated Dr. Corsi was already on the loony left radar having co-authored the swift boating book that helped sink John Kerry’s 04 campaign. They can’t stand to see the same thing happen again. Namely that a book which deals with facts about their candidates background, associates and belief system would actually be published.
The attacks on Corsi began earlier this week when he appeared on Larry King Barely Alive on CNN. Larry made him sit next to Paul Waldman of the left-wing group Media Matters, who questioned Corsi like he was a co-host and continuously badgered him as a liar. King asked Waldman softballs: “Paul, you denounced the book as unfit for publication. Meaning?” King set the tone at the top of the show: “Tonight, is Barack Obama being swiftboated? The man who wrote that book on John Kerry now makes some incredible and even false claims about the current Democratic candidate.” They must have not felt that Larry was up to the kind of 3rd degree they wanted so they brought in this other guy to do their dirty work. CNN must’ve also been thinking about their liberal base and were being cautious not to offend them with Corsi’s apperance.
Now check out this non-partisan news story, the AP version of Obama’s camp reacting to Corsi’s book with this assesment…
“The book is a compilation of all the innuendo and false rumors against Obama.” Keep in mind, that’s not a quote from some of Obama’s people…it’s in the body of the news story by the AP reporter. What kind of false rumors did this reporter have in mind? The fact that Obama attended an American hating and race baiting church for 20 years?
Reporter Nedra Pickler then added…”Corsi writes for World Net Daily, a conservative Web site whose lead headline Thursday was ‘Astonishing photo claims: Dead Bigfoot stored on ice.’” I guess she overlooked the fact that the same story was carried on AP’s own newswire, as well as FOX and CNN, etc, etc. By the way she filed the story from Hawaii where she was busy covering Obama playing golf and body surfing.
Oh well, suspicions confirmed. The MSM is committed to an Obama victory in November and won’t stand for any criticism of their guy. Too bad for them that enough people want to know who Obama really is, where he comes from, what his belief system is, that they bought Dr. Corsi’s book in such numbers it debuted at #1 on the NY Times own best seller list. The ultimate insult! We told you this guy was lying about Obama and you bought his book anyway, how dare you!!!
Well, at least the MSM can congratulate themselves with their investigative reporting that brought out the truth on the John Edwards story. Oh, wait, sorry, that was the National Enquirer wasn’t it?
