They were unrelenting whatever the biases were they were equal opportunity (offenders.) That has changed starting in the 80s ... and most recently in what I call the Nepotism Cycle where people get jobs or theyre maried to people in the Administration or in politics says Caddell during an concerning & in-depth look at reporting this 2012 election cycle.
Caddell noted that while 1st Amendment protections were originally provided to the press so they would protect the liberty & freedom of the public from organized governmental power they had clearly relinquished the role of impartial news providers.
Nowhere was this more evident than during the tragic death of a U.S. Ambassador in Libya that was lied about for nine (9) days because the press and the Obama Administration did not want to admit it was a terrorist attack.
Weve had nine days of lies over what happened because they cant dare say its a terrorist attack and the press wont push this said Caddell.
Yesterday there was not a single piece in The New York Times over the question of Libya. Twenty American embassies yesterday are under attack. None of that is on the national news. None of it is being pressed in the papers Caddell noted.
Caddell also added that it is one thing for the news to have a biased view but It is another thing to specifically decide that you will not tell the American people information they have a right to know.
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. I think were at the most dangerous time in our political history in terms of the balance of power and the role the media plays in whether or not we maintain a free democracy said former Jimmy Carter and democratic pollster Pat Caddell. When I first started in politics and thats been a number of years now everyone on both sides Democrats & Republicans despised the press commonly because they were S.O.B.s to everybody ... which is exactly what they should be.
In recent remarks to an Accuracy in Media Conference ObamaNation: A Day of Truth former Democratic pollster and analyst Pat Caddell had this to say amongst other serious criticisms
of impartial news providers.
