What ever happened to Mainstream Media outrage over....

[Pilgrim]

• The recent record pace of rising gasoline and diesel prices
• The Fast and Furious scandal and the Contempt of Congress charges against our erstwhile Attorney General
• The corruption and fiscal waste within the Obama administration's GSA, Secret Service and most recently Homeland Security depts. "Culture of corruption" anyone?
• Solyndra bailout and it's cost to the American taxpayers
• GM bailout and it's cost to the American taxpayers
• Obvious leaks of highly classified information from White House insiders to enhance Obama's re-election (this has just been revisited by a private group of veterans and members of the military)
• Obama's illegal ban on offshore drilling after the BP spill - and the subsequent loss of drilling rigs to other nations' waters
• The first-ever downgrade of our nation's credit rating due to Obama economic policies and out of control spending

I think the mainstream media would say that it's not their job to look into all of that messy stuff.

The MSM has not gotten their marching orders from the White House on these issues ... or have they?

The Mainstream Media is chiefly interested in what is news, and newsworthy, i.e., what sells. All of the items listed above are old news, and boring, to the people of the mainstream. People have learned, for example, that it does absolutely no good whatsoever to get outraged over rising fuel prices. They've all been there, done that, got the t-shirt. All of the other items are relegated to the agendas of wackos who sound like broken records. I've got my own little record player that plays the song of how Obama looks the other way at illegal leaks when they make him look good, and is ruthless in getting at leaks which make him look bad, and his illegal seize of power that usurps the laws of the land. But no once wants to listen to me, either.

The mm does have an agenda that figures into what they report.

Of course they do, absolutely.

No not those issues. It doesn't fit their agenda and could possible damage the image of Obama. What they see as newsworthy is yet another story,ad nauseum, about Romney and his tax returns. It's an issue,according to NBC news "that won't go away". It won't go away because NBC and the MSM keeps bringing it up.

While apparently insignificant issues such as the following go relatively unreported:

Add to that the Iranian nuclear problem is once again starting to bubble to the surface - those pesky Israelis just don't seem to understand their place in Obama's election year plans.
