Media Continues Spinning Its Biased Coverage of Obama and Obamacare, Claiming: We Can't Cover a Story if Republicans Take a Political Interest in the Issue
— Ace

Remember when the media's main story on Benghazi, before all the bodies had yet been recovered from the burning wreckage of the annex, was not that Obama had failed to anticipate a terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11, but that Mitt Romney attempted to politicize the attack?

The media doesn't mind carrying Democratic water. They don't mind at all when Democrats push a cooked-up #WaronWomen narrative. They media will gladly join the Democrats in pushing such stories.

But they do object to Republicans, specifically, attempting politically profit from their reportage.

And so they offer this excuse for their failure to cover legitimately big stories: Republicans tried to talk about it too, so of course we cannot talk about it ourselves.

This is yet another example of the media attempting to claim some rule that looks politically neutral upon first glance -- "We will not publicize stories if a party is attempting to capitalize politically upon our reportage" -- is exposed as a complete lie upon second glance. For, of course, they don't really mean that they won't dig into a story if any political party is capitalizing on them.

They mean only "Republicans." They may attempt to cast the "rule" so that it doesn't say, straight-up, "We'll be damned if we'll be helping the g**-****ed Republicans on this," but in fact that is precisely how it is applied.

No one in the media seemed to mind very much that Democrats turned the Jack Abramoff scandal into their 2006 meta-narrative (despite Jack Abramoff being a huge donor to the corrupt Harry Reid, of course-- but that part didn't "fit the narrative" of a specifically Republican "culture of corruption").

But the moment a story seems to help Republicans, they're now claiming that some rule of ethics bars them from covering it in anything more than desultory "and then these liars said this bullshit" fashion.

It's interesting that Halperin, especially, is pushing this meme, because he's also claimed that the media should be excused from not investigating the actual law and regulations of Obamacare because Mitt Romney didn't make enough of a deal out of it. He continues to refuse to say why Mitt Romney was required to say anything at all about Obamacare in 2010, and why the press would take its cues from a former governor of Massachusetts as to setting the national investigative-media agenda.

But note that he's now offering two rules to explain away the media's refusal to pursue any story that hurts Obama or the Democrats:

1. If the Republicans talk about it too much, the media should be forgiven for refraining to cover it themselves, as they wouldn't want to be seen as taking their talking points from the Republican Attack Machine.

2. If the Republicans talk about it too little, as Halperin says Romney did in 2012, then the media should be once again excused from covering stories that hurt Obama and the Democrats, because they only take their talking points from the Republican Attack Machine.

Nifty little pair of rules, huh? I'd like to know what Halperin has in mind as the "Goldilocks Scenario" where Republicans don't talk about the issue too much, but also not too little, thus enabling the press to actually do its alleged job.

As Mary Katharine Ham asks:

WHAT IS THE POINT OF YOU, MARK HALPERIN?

33 This is pretty much why new media hasn't changed the whole game. We can find and highlight stories ignored by the MSM all we want, but they still own the major news sites and networks. That gives them the power to ignore, and that's enough to keep their low-info consumers fed and happy in their corral.

In short he should have been the kind of Democrat we like, but more competent in execution.

Nah, that's the excuse the "administration" gave to the media for why the "administration" wasn't going to comment on what happened in benghazi.   The media, on the other hand, were more than happy to accept that excuse and chose not to pursue it further because it was   juicier to report on the fact that a    Presidential candidate had the GALL to comment on a    matter of foreign policy    A) before the President did, and B) in anything but adulatory fashion.

54 Related to this is something the left goes nuts about once or twice a year: the "undue" influence of money and corporations on the political process. Liberals love to perennially opine that corporate influence and money corrupt the political process to the point that we have a severely diminished democratic process. But the massive media corporations get a pass (except for Faux News of course) and the many "grass roots" "non-profit" advocacy groups do as well. As usual they completely invert the truth. The liberal media which reliably parrots Democrat talking points and projects their nonsensical attack memes (WarOnWomyn) is held up as a vital institution which speaks truth to power, provides transparency and holds government accountable to the people when in fact it's an arm of the administrative state.

Not really.  They just tell themselves that Dem and leftist policies are reality based and meant to help people whereas Republican policies are based on the Christian fundamentalism and meant to help rich corporation at the expense of everybody else.  I think they learn that at J-school.

63 According to Gallup, 69% of Americans remain unaffected by Obamacare, wail til that changes next year, it's going to get ugly. My wife, who has employer insurance, received a letter in the mail today outlining some of the changes, mandated by ObamaCare, that will begin January 1, 2014. I imagine the same is happening, or will happen all over the country in the next few weeks. It was all pretty small stuff, but nothing that anyone is going to say, "That's good, it's going to save me money." Quite the opposite. And once again, because the changes are mandated by law, the insurers have an 'out' to raise premiums and cancel policies with employers when their policy renewal 'open' period (which varies) occurs in the next 12 months. Her next open enrollment/change period is around May to June. At which time I suspect her employer is going to have to share the pain with her. So the outrage isn't kicked down the road for 12 months. It's going to be a trickle, then a flood, then a tsunami, all before the 2014 elections.

But it runs afoul of this things called the "Naturalistic Fallacy." "Never and ought from an is" as they say. Yes, the only way Obamacare works is with some pretty nasty government enforced rationing. That doesn't mean we *should* design healthcare that way. I'm a bigger fan of letting the market handle it. Leftards will say "but that's rationing too!" Perhaps, in a very broad sense, but it's the rationing of millions of people making decisions leading to larger effects. The kind not controlled by any one person or small group (Hi IPAB!)

85 I guarantee you a solid 25% of that 69% don't realize they have to buy health insurance.

Most of them probably don't have to buy anything.  It's only enforced if you file a tax return, and even then you can indicate on the form that you're on Medicaid or Medicare.

87 According to Gallup, 69% of Americans remain unaffected by Obamacare, wail til that changes next year, it's going to get ugly. It's gonna get ugly way before that. There are only 2% of the Country that might not be effected and that is the Military with Tricare. Everyone else is either being effected directly by it now or is worried about it and losing sleep at night knowing what is coming.

89 They'll continue down the path they've created for photographers. Nobody will be Full-Time. Everyone will be a contractor (stringer). As contractors, you're your own boss and are responsible for your own healthcare. Posted by: bonhomme at November 26, 2013 03:33 PM (sByIH) This is already happening at many newspapers. The liberal papers criticize "big business" for how they treat their employees, then turn around and treat their own reporters and columnists like crap. A lot of the reporters and columnists for smaller city newspapers may as well be working for a fast food chain. I've watched it happen. Do I feel bad for them? Nope. The anti-business, liberal newspaper employees are getting exactly what they deserve, the cold slap of reality. They were never very well paid, now they've been downgraded to worse than poorly paid.

Fox News said it's TOTALLY a lie that that itch    is caused by    government mind control chips manufactured by Halliburton and injected into     Americans   with their flu shots    during the Bush presidency.     They said that it's stupid to attempt to cut the    control chips out   of your skin with    a scalpel because they don't really exist, and the Halliburton work orders   for "300 Million Mind Control Chips" paid for by the US government are forged.

So they would rather that  tens of  millions of Americans lose their health insurance coverage rather than report the truth about the issue, all because to report on it would mean saying bad things about their god-kings.

128 The media cannot hide the effects of Obamacare any longer. They can still spin and go into CYA mode, but make no mistake about it, the truth is out in the open now. Their spin will have little real effect as the disaster continues to grow because their audience consists of 3 groups. Partisan liberals, partisan conservatives, and the bulk of the population that is non-ideological. The partisans on both sides of the aisle have opinions set in stone so the spin will have zero effect either way. As for the majority of people whom are basically non-ideological? They will know ( assuming that they still have an existing plan ) that their premiums are higher, their deductibles are higher, and that they no longer can choose their caregiver. They will also know that one party, and one party only, is responsible for their plight. No amount of propaganda will  be able to convince them that the effects on their wallets and freedom aren't real.

People counting on a tax refund are often conservatives. Rush, among others, have noted that the one sure way to enforce Obamacare - for those without insurance - is to garnish the refund. So, people who want that refund but not the fine are going to go back to preparing that form by hand, with whatever dodge they need to do to avoid that fine. IRS auditors are going to love next year

190 The individual members of the media ought to reflect on one thing. As MKH said, they are pointless. Dear Leader has already shown that photo-journalists are not needed. Why have a host of private photographers taking haloed, flattering shots when the State apparatus can do it more efficiently? Same thing with the written word. Why bother with the middlemen? Just let the Party and the WH write the material. It saves a lot of money. True, a lot of photogs and writers will lose their jobs, but that's the way it goes.

Have you no empathy at all? The MFM is just trying to get the guy some rest.
 
And strangely enough, the MFM also fails to note any ckufing progress on Benghazi apprehensions/revenge after over 14 months. Perhaps they prefer this quote instead:
 
"If four Americans get killed, it's not optimal."

205 It was all pretty small stuff, but nothing that anyone is going to say, "That's good, it's going to save me money." Quite the opposite. Yeah, ours is going to go up $50 a month. Not major, but, well, $600 a year is decent money. Also, and donÂ’t know if itÂ’s related or not, but they used to let us opt out if we got our own insurance elsewhere. That no longer appears to be an option; and they specifically included in the FAQ, that we are not eligible for the exchanges, since we have employer-provided insurance. Not that it was ever a useful option, due to the tax laws that discourage it.

262 I thought you weren't supposed to put flesh in your compost. Skinny peeps are okay. The problem is that fat does not decompose easily at all. Hence the need for lye or muriatic acid to speed things along. Or so I've been told. But good news for serial killers, thanks to ObamaCare, Bariatric (obesity) surgery is now covered under employer health plans as a pre-existing condition after January 1. So if you have a really, really annoying neighbor who feels the need to run a snowblower or leafblower at 3:00 am and one who needs to shed a lot of weight, wait a few months, after surgery, before adding him to the compost pile. As always, keep it slightly damp, and turn frequently.

271 Posted by: Soona at November 26, 2013 04:29 PM (FtgP2) Well the nature of the IPAB is that it only really applies to Medicare official (and possibly Medicaid via various connections.) But there's lots of evidence that insurers will run with the determinations of government bodies (it has a built in CYA as it were.) But like everything else, the rich will be able to afford to do what they want regardless. That's just life I suppose and frankly unimportant to the conversation. What's lost is that the government body will effectively become a de facto regulator, just like the Preventative Task force and various IOM best practice committees.

I don't know why, I just know they did. Somewhat related, maybe interesting or related. Every fisherman, like myself, knows that certain fish retain nasty pollutants in their fatty areas. So pregnant women are advised to eat limited or no amounts of certain fish. But people are not that different. We retain nasty stuff in our fat cells. As long it stays there I guess maybe it's doing no harm -- except in cases like women's breast tissue which is pretty much all fat -- and you might just conjecture there might be some correlation. But get cancer and lose the desire to eat, or go on a starvation diet, and your fat cells are gonna be gone, releasing all the bad things into the bloodstream all at once.

I'm saying what's lost in the argument about rich people and treatment is how powerful the IPAB will inevitably become. Even though the law says "this is only for medicare" every insurer will use it as the gold standard. Thusly we've created a huge regulatory body but not named it as such.

286 With their hand in the deteriorating conditions in Iraq as well as the civil war across another of their borders in Syria the Iranians have gotten the message loud and clear from Obama that violence does work. It is clear from United States Marine Corps intelligence files released by Wikileaks that Iran had a hand in the killing of US forces in Iraq from at least 2006, and suffered from that fact not at all. In fact the Americans neither publicised nor responded to the fact that the Iranians have been killing US soldiers at all. http://goo.gl/k4VVdy We're Iran's bitch.
