As of Friday, 15 August Obama was Out on his 32nd Round of Golf This Year, the 189th of his Presidency —White House Dossier
(Independent Institute) You know that you’re in my Beloved State of California when its now mandated that public school children study about the ‘significance’ of the election of Barack Obama.
(CAMERA) Does NY Times reporter Anne Barnard, really believe that the conflict between Hamas & Israel is a personal problem with Bibi Netanyahu, the elected leader of a democratic country and Khalid Meshaal, the leader of a genocidal terrorist organization?
As a 72 hour ceasefire takes hold in Israel NY Times Gaza based reporters remain locked in a peculiar moral equivalency between Israel and the Islamic terrorist group Hamas bent on the destruction of Israel reports NewsBusters with ‘journalists’ taking pains on social media and television to stick up for Hamas, dismissing the idea of Hamas’ harassment of journalists as “nonsense” and even criticizing Hillary Clinton for taking on the group.
NY Times reporter Anne Barnard appeared on Sunday’s ‘CNNs Reliable Sources’ hosted by former NY Times colleague Brian Stelter and when asked about the “biggest misconceptions” in the coverage by naysayers “thousands of miles away” from Gaza, Barnard raised the subject of unfair allegations against Hamas.
“The most strange thing to me was the way the coverage was discussed. There seemed to be an impression that the people in Gaza were reporting civilian casualties because somehow, Hamas was making us do that or that’s what Hamas wanted us to do. You know, covering civilian casualties is at the core of what we do as journalists, particularly not just casualties but covering the impact of the war on ordinary people and that’s part of our mission and we do that consistently on all sides in all conflicts that we cover around the world to the extent that that’s physically possible.”
Barnard has also has defended Hamas on her Facebook page…”What you see is largely what Hamas invites and permits Western journalists to report on from Gaza–What is happening is simply that neither Hamas or Israel is preventing journalists from entering Gaza and that’s a good thing, may it last.”
On Sunday I wrote here that the French newspaper Liberation published an article about French-Palestinian journalist Radjaa Abu Dagga who subsequently had a harrowing experience when he was summoned for interrogation by Hamas whose office was inside Shifa Hospital, Abu Dagaa said that the Islamic Terrorists were all well dressed “in civilian clothing with a gun under ones shirt and some had walkie-talkies.”
Hamas accused Abu Dagga of working for the Palestinian Authority or Israel and then ordered him to leave Gaza immediately without his papers. Abu Dagga subsequently asked Liberation to remove the article for unknown reasons.
NY Times reporter Anne Barnard, may indeed find her stay in Gaza as inviting she accounts, just as long as she continues her propagandizing for Hamas in newspaper, social media and on cable news–the Islamic Jihadists couldn’t buy better PR.

(Asian Correspondent/AP) South Korea has expressed outrage over a rhetorical attack on South Korean President Park Geun-hye by the North Korean propaganda ministry, calling Park a “despicable prostitute” with Obama as her pimp.
The North Korea state-run media, often uses rather childish inflammatory rhetoric, it has called former South Korean president’s ‘dogs’ but has shown a particularly crude appetite for insulting Park with sexist slurs.

Jilani reacting to an on-air protest by Journalist Liz Wahl who resigned Wednesday, in protest over Russia’s invasion of Southern Ukraine–the second American reporter to publicly condemn the Russian government’s actions on its own channel.
Wahl who worked in the media outlets Washington, D.C. bureau said that she could no longer be a “part of the network, funded by the Russian government that whitewashes the actions of Putin. I’m proud to be an American and believe in disseminating the truth and that is why after this newscast, I’m resigning.”
In a post entitled “How Working in Washington Taught Me We’re All a Little Like RT America” Jilani explained how the Obama Administration frequently played the part of the Kremlin, leaning on management to push their writers in a particular direction and punishing them if they strayed from the party line.
“I’m writing this post to explain how working in Washington taught me we’re all a little bit like the the good folk who work at RT America struggling against editorial censors, doing our best to follow our conscience despite sometimes suffocating from our publishers and sponsors…Essentially they were doing the same thing to us (that) RT America is telling its American producers to do now—align with your boss, who is the president of the United States.”

For one to actually believe the New York Times whitewash of Benghazi one would first have to ignore earlier reporting by the New York Times and the reality that the video, allegedly to blame for the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi which I wrote about here was a very poorly made, rather stupid low quality production filmed in Santa Clarita, California and more likely than not, unseen by the Islamic Jihad Terrorist Thugs before the September 11 attack and most Americans subsequently.

Obama Administration’s Broken Transparency Pledge
(The Blaze) In another blow to Obama’s transparency pledge, major news organizations and associations are protesting the White House policy of banning news photographers from covering Obama at official events, while opting instead to releasing White House propaganda images and videos of gatherings.
In related Obama’s broken transparency pledge, Breitbart News reported today, FOX News’ Ed Henry Tweeted that the White House were hosting liberal reporters MSNBC Ed Schultz, Ezra Klein of ‘The Washington Post’ and FOX News Juan Williams, were invited for a private ‘off the record’ chat with President Obama.
FOX News contributor Juan Williams later confirmed the ‘off the record’ meeting with President Obama on FOX News “Happening Now” with Jon Scott.

(Circa News) The California Endowment a seemingly private, statewide health foundation founded in 1996 received a $9.2 Million federal grant in August to help educate people about ObamaCare has now awarded redistributed $500,000 to the Norman Lear Center of the University of Southern California academics to brief TV writers and producers on the wonders of ObamaCare.
The purpose of the “grant” is to ensure that the media will help (even more than they already have) government central planners to propagandize federally mandated health insurance into plot lines of popular television shows.
“If ‘Covered California’ is so good and everyone knows that health care reform (HCR) happened, why do we the taxpayers have (to) cover a million moronic ads for it.” —Lydia Loudon@Twitter
In related ObamaCare/Covered California news, the Los Angeles Times reported that Alameda Alliance has been removed from the state health care exchange further reducing the number of choices available to consumers.
On the 29 May, I wrote here that AETNA Insurance, together with United Health Group and CIGNA chose to opt-out of Covered California, the nations largest health care exchange.
