Who is Vera Baker?

Drudge Report broke the Monica Lewinsky story several years ago. Now comes the tale of Vera Baker. National Enquirer is insinuating the lovely Vera Baker was/is Obama's paramour from his days as a US Senator. I don't believe, if true, such a scandal would topple Obama's presidency. It could make his re-election quite difficult.

The National Enquirer, for all the flack they catch, actually has a pretty good record for exposing politicians. Moreover, the National Enquirer would face considerable liability for promoting a false allegation of this magnitude. It would not be in their interest to be wrong, regardless of how many tabloids they sell.

Anyway, Vera Baker is a name we might be hearing more and more. Interested parties can read more at DrudgeReport.com or google: Vera Baker.

That would be Great if it were True! That would show the Obumma Supporters that He Isn't the Messiah After All, but Only Subhuman Like Slick Willy! :D

Oh, I'd believe that about Vera Baker,and Obama. Like my Dad told me when I was younger. "No matter what you do,or where you go. Somebody somewhere always knows what your doing". I hope Obama gets caught,and then they will also find out the he is not an American on his birth Certificate. He's thinks he's getting away with hiding something. It will float to the surface pretty soon. Keeping secrets is like trying to keep a beach ball under water...it will come back up somewhere.

The National Enquirer, the Drudge Report, and Glen Beck all have about the same track record on the truth.

The weekly world news says that not only is it true, but that Vera is a Muslim Criminal Alien with 3 vaginas~

The venerable National Enquirer pays good money for lies/truth. I am not aware they engage in cover-ups. If the story has legs, it will eventually gain momentum. If false, may it die a quick death. The NE is often six months ahead of the liberal press. Who's this Glenn Beck guy?

In a 2010 Forbes interview, Glenn Beck frankly states, "I could give a flying crap about the political process, we're an entertainment company."

Rhodes... I suspect you are known by many names here at EO.

That much is almost certainly true.

I've tried watching Glenn Beck's program, but can't. He's so clownish, I find myself wincing five minutes into his program. Yes, Glenn's an entertainer. Way too conspiratorial for my taste. I'm not sure why Fox News would diminsh their brand by bringing Glenn on board. He does draw huge ratings.

One more thought... eventually Obama will have his scandal. All presidents do. It will be interesting to watch the mainstream liberal press carry water for Obama in an attempt to suppress any unflattering story. What will Obama's scandal be? I don't know. It's a sad commentary on the likes of the New York Times, the LA Times, the Dallas Morning News, that one must wait for a tabloid to report news of presidential scandal.

I know what you mean. A few minutes here and there are about all I can handle. I don't watch him very often at all. Seems there's always something else on the Dish that's more interesting and engaging, like Married with Children or Home Shopping.

There ya go - ratings. Ever since large corporations began taking control over the "public's right to know", everything plays second banana to ratings and revenue. Cable news organizations deliver very little news. Fox and Friends in the Morning is 3 percent news and 97 percent commentary. Most CNN and Fox News news reports are commentary cleverly (and not so cleverly) disguised as news. As soon as you hear something that is not a response to the Five W's, it's commentary and not news.

Most presidential scandals aren't even newsworthy, beyond that of those who are hungry for gossip. Legitimate news organizations don't break scandal, unless it's a particularly egregious and unlawful scandal, because "Breaking Scandal News" doesn't generate ratings. That kind of stuff doesn't generate ratings until people are wrapped up in it and are hungry for more. The initial news of a scandal is generally pretty boring. But, as soon as people get hooked, they milk it for all it's worth.

Whether a story is newsworthy and gets a ton of time devoted to it is totally dependent on whether or not people find it interesting. Fox News dedicated hours and hours and hours of LIVE coverage to a Times Square car bomb that didn't explode. It is a story that merits about 4 minutes of air time. Meanwhile, actual important news didn't get reported at all. People were enraptured by the car bomb that didn't explode, and could care less about the genuine article of "breaking news" where the oil spill is increasing in size and spreading much faster than it was before, deadly flooding in West Tennessee, and news of a Tabby who is nursing orphaned bobcat kittens in South Carolina.

Television news ratings drive everything, as evidenced by the fact that MSNBC is unabashedly partisan and has Keith Oberman on the air, but their online version carries stories like this.

Depends on which Dan Rather you are talking about. There were three Dan Rathers.

The Young Dan who was a good reporter and who's only interest was in getting the story and then getting the story out.

Then, there was the Middle-Aged Dan who got seduced by the fame that came with being a good reporter and became a news anchor because he liked the fame and fortune.

Then there was the Old and Creepy Dan who was only interested in lifting his sagging ratings in order to regain his fame and fortune.

Dan Rather "Used" to Be a Decent Guy, But I Guess Fame and Greed Changed him to what he is Today!
