The Media buries yet another story that could embarrass Obama

Last week, Iowa authorities arrested Zachary Edwards, a director of President Obama's 2008 Iowa campaign, and charged him with attempting to impersonate Matt Schultz, Iowa's Republican secretary of state. That sounds quite interesting, doesn't it. A Democrat who had a high positiion in the 2008 Obama campaign gets caught trying to steal the identity of the Republican Secretary of State in Iowa, home of the first presidential caucus. this was followed a few days later by Edwards entering a plea of not guilty on the charges. So here is the key question: how many articles have been written by the mainstream media outside of Iowa discussing the arrest? The answer is ONE, and that is only if you count the Washington Examiner as part of the mainstream media which is quite a stretch. No mention in the Washington Post, the New York Times, the LA Times, Time magazine, or any other liberal print media outlet. Okay, then how many mentions did the story get on NBC, CBS, or ABC evening news programs? Here the answer is NONE! Ths story was also swept under the rug at PBS, CNN and MSNBC. No mentions there at all!

So why is it that identity theft by a Democrat political operative of a Republican office holder gets no coverage at all. Right now there is non-stop coverage around here of a statement made by the mayor of East Haven, Connecticut who, when asked what he could do for the local Hispanic population said he could "eat a taco." Surely, the mayor could have chosen his words better; his statement was incredibly stupid. But the mayor of East Haven did not commit a felony; he stole no one's identity. All he did was make an insensitive comment. Mr. Edwards, the Obama operative is accused of committing a felony! That is much worse than a politically incorrect statement, but the press covers one like it is world war three and the other is shunned as if it never happened.

I believe that what is actually on display is the aversion of the mainstream media of printing or broadcasting anything that might make Obama look bad. Obviously, there are times when even the MSM has to print bad news for Obama. Nevertheless, the one-sided coverage that was the rule in 2008 seems to be back.

I should be clear here. I do not know if Edwards will be found guilty of the charges or not. It really does not matter. The issue right now is not so much the alleged crimes committed by Edwards, but rather the attempt by the liberal media to bury all news about it.
