This Is What Liberal Media Bias Looks Like
Except in this case, it isn't just bias. It's activism.
They're acting as middlemen (while trying to wet their beaks in the process) between lobbyists (who Obama, their boy, pledged to have little or nothing to do with in his Administration) and the Administration itself, who they're in bed with.
When a doctor gives a lecture or presentation at a medical meeting, he has to list his disclosures and all relationships with industry in which he potentially stands to make money from the information he is presenting (standard conflict of interest law requires it).
I'm just wondering when members of the media will be disclosing their relationships with government officials, their political campaign contributions, and their votes in a consistent, open and forthcoming manner. Don't we have a right to know what the conflicts of interest of the self-appointed "fourth branch of government" are? Hence, when you donate money to Barack Obama or the Democrats, you are not allowed to cover their policies or their "beat," because you have a conflict of interest.
(Click to view Washington Post pimp-tastic flier urging lobbyists to get in bed with the Administration - with the Washington Post as the Innkeeper.)
