Tonight, I’ve come across some more information as to why the LA Times refuses to release an incriminating video of Brack Obama at a party for former PLO spokesperson, Rashid Khalidi.

In this post by Doug Ross @ Journal, he quotes a source who says:

Saw a clip from the tape. Reason we can’t release it is because statements Obama said to rile audience up during toast. He congratulates Khalidi for his work saying “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” plus there’s been “genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis.”

It would be really controversial if it got out. That’s why they will not even let a transcript get out.

This is really just beyond the pale at this point. If the Times had a video of McCain at a neo-Nazi rally with him toasting David Duke, I highly doubt they’d be hiding behind “journalistic ethics” and holding back the tape. Heck, I wasn’t even aware today’s media actually followed a code of ethics these days. Their excuse for not going public with the tape just doesn’t pass the smell test.

Hey, LA Times: RELEASE THE TAPE!!!! The American people deserve to know the truth!!!

Little Green Footballs is reporting that the LA Times may be hiding video showing Barack Obama at a party for radical Islamist Rashid Khalidi. Khalidi is a radical Islamist and Palestinian sympathizer. LGF is also reporting that Obama’s other friends were there, too. None other than terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

Perhaps if that other menace to society, Joe the Plumber, had attended, the LA Times would have released the video by now.

Speaking of Ayers, check out last night’s O’Reilly Factor, in which Jesse Waters ‘ambushes’ him.

Is CNN’s Drew Griffin sloppy, ignorant or just another reporter who’s in the tank for Barack Obama?

Here’s the exchange from yesterday’s interview with Governor Palin:

CNN: Yeah. Governor, you’ve been mocked in the press. The press has been pretty hard on you, the Democrats have been pretty hard on you, but also some conservatives have been pretty hard on you as well. The National Review had a story saying that, you know, I can’t tell if Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt or all of the above.

Palin: Who wrote that one?

CNN: That was in the National Review, I don’t, have the author.

Palin: I’d like to talk to that person.

So, what’s the problem? Griffin completely distorted the National Review article, written by Byron York. York wrote:

Watching press coverage of the Republican candidate for vice president, it’s sometimes hard to decide whether Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt, backward, or — or, well, all of the above. Palin, the governor of Alaska, has faced more criticism than any vice-presidential candidate since 1988, when Democrats and the press tore into Dan Quayle. In fact, Palin may have it even worse than Quayle, since she’s taking flak not only from Democrats and the press but from some conservative opinion leaders as well.

York was criticizing the MEDIA, not Palin!

As reported on tonight’s O’Reilly Factor, when questioned about the distortion, CNN did not offer an apology or own up to the ‘mistake.’

But, hey, there’s no media bias, right? If a Fairness Doctrine is needed, it’s for network news operations like CNN and MSNBC which have taken journalism to new lows.

Here’s the entire interview:
