Roger Aronoff in Accuracy in Media Sept 27, 2012 writes about analyst, Pat Caddell's address at their conference last week:
In remarks to the Accuracy in Media conference, “ObamaNation: A Day of Truth,” on September 21st, former Democratic pollster and analyst Pat Caddell said, “I think we’re at the most dangerous time in our political history in terms of the balance of power in the role that the media plays in whether or not we maintain a free democracy.” Caddell noted that while First Amendment protections were originally provided to the press so they would protect the liberty and 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 covered up for nine days because the press and the administration did not want to admit it was a terrorist attack.
“We’ve had nine day of lies over what happened because they can’t dare say it’s a terrorist attack, and the press won’t 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 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.”

Benjamin Netanyahu to the United Nations: The Iranian Red Line (in One Chart)
Alana Goodman in Commentary Contentions 27 September '12:
At the United Nations this afternoon, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu sought to clarify an issue that has confounded President Obama for months — where to place “red lines” on Iran’s nuclear program — by using one simple, easy-to-read chart:
As you can see, that is a drawing of a bomb. It is divided into three stages. Iran has completed the first stage (amassing enough 70 percent-enriched uranium for a bomb), and, according to Netanyahu, can complete the second stage (amassing enough 90 percent-enriched uranium) as soon as next summer. The key here — and this is important — is to stop Iran before it enters the final stage, i.e. the completion of the bomb. Let’s hope the White House was paying attention.
Of course, the bomb drawing got its share of criticism on Twitter, as BuzzFeed reports:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu punctuated his attempt to rally the international community against Iran’s nuclear program with a crude illustration of a bomb in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York today — a move that drew him an immediate wave of mockery, but also reflected an astute grasp of the changing media climate.
The chart wasn’t unserious, it was simple. And it’s precisely what the public needs to see at this point. The White House has been able to drag their feet on the debate, in part, because they’ve portrayed it as murky and complicated. It isn’t. There will be debates, if and when the time comes, over whether Iran has actually reached the red line, and whether the intelligence is accurate or complete. But there’s no question that a clear and firm line needs to be drawn.

Documentary "2016 Obama's America" asks "If Obama wins, what kind of changes will we be living under in 2016?"
The documentary, 2016 Obama’s America takes audiences on a gripping visual journey into the heart of the world’s most powerful office to reveal the struggle of whether one man’s past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, “If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?”
Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to America’s ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn’t know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him--who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world.
Immersed in exotic locales across four continents, best selling author Dinesh D’Souza races against time to find answers to Obama’s past and reveal where America will be in 2016. During this journey he discovers how Hope and Change became radically misunderstood, and identifies new flashpoints for hot wars in mankind’s greatest struggle. The journey moves quickly over the arc of the old colonial empires, into America’s empire of liberty, and we see the unfolding realignment of nations and the shape of the global future.
Producer, Gerald Molen, has produced many of the most memorable films in the last three decades including blockbusters like Jurassic Park,
Twister, Days of Thunder, Hook and Minority Report. He was a producer for the Academy Award winning film Schindler’s List and coproducer for Rain Man which won the Oscar for Best Picture.
The documentary may be viewed online, here, for free, for a limited time. Share this article with your friends, family, and colleagues who would benefit by becoming better informed with the information about Barack Hussein Obama, Jr's anti-colonialist, anti-capitalist upbringing and worldview.
Watch the trailer here, below, and the full documentary.

The Daily Caller reports:
“Obama’s America” hit another roadblock last week when false reports circulated that Fox News Channel was planning to air the documentary for free.
“The reports of the movie appearing on Fox before the election are completely untrue and we strongly suspect that they are the result of dirty tricks by our opponents who spread this rumor in order to confuse the general public and keep them from going to their local theaters,” D’Souza said.”We urge all Americans to ignore these efforts and go to their local theater and enjoy the movie on the big screen.”
The film, which traces President Obama’s past in an attempt understand his worldview, has exceeded all box office expectations by becoming the second-highest grossing political documentary of all time.
So far, it has earned over $30 million since opening in July, according to Deadline, meaning Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11″ is the only political documentary to surpass “2016″ in ticket sales.
Someone illegally uploaded the film to YouTube in “what they suspect to be an organized effort to drive viewers away from the theatrical showing of the film.”
Late Sunday night, someone uploaded the entire film to YouTube. In a statement released Monday, the producers said that the suspect opponents of the film put it on the Internet to diffuse box office sales.The full documentary may be able to be viewed here

DNC platform slip reveals Obama, Democrat Party disdain for Israel
Amidst boos and multiple votes, Democrat National Committee reverses White House position and reinstates G-d and Jerusalem to party platform.
Charles Krauthammer charges the Obama White House with "moving the party" by undercutting Israel's position by not reversing Obama's omitting previous rejections of Israel returning to 1967 borders, Palestinians to return to Israel, and isolating anti-Zionist Hamas.
PJ Media's Roger Simon gives his experience of the Charlotte vote:
... I was staring, again at least temporarily, into the gaping yaw of the 1930s. For those fleeting seconds, I realized that, yes, it could also happen here, because, make no mistake about it, those copious boos were not for “God” (except, perhaps, for a few scattered nitwits), but for Israel. A sizable and serious claque on the Democratic National Convention floor was shouting and applauding against the Jews.
Back when I was a kid, when I used to see the Auschwitz numbers on the arms of the nurses in my doctor father’s office, I would wonder how something that horrible could happen. It was beyond my childhood imagination. No longer, unfortunately. Not that the Democratic Party is the equivalent of the Nazi Party, even remotely. I won’t indulge in that game. But those boos, taken with the overall theme of the convention — that we all belong to the government — are chilling. That people of color are often the ones being seduced by this garbage is even more depressing to this ex-civil rights worker. Where, oh where, is Martin Luther King?
Conventions in general encourage group think, especially now that they are so planned and canned. That is why I cannot believe that Barack Obama (or his clone Valerie Jarrett) did not approve the platform in advance. They can deny that all they wish, but it is absurd to think people who devote their lives, more than anything, to political success would leave such a stone unturned. The platform reflected the manner in which Obama regards Israel, disdain tempered by desire for Jewish votes and money.DemoCast has tracked Obama's alienating the US-Israel alliance, and movement towards Islamism over his term. Here are several hours and dozens of clips worth of evidence:
Wayne Allen Root writes in Fox News:
Given the cold shoulder Obama has given Israel since his inauguration, it is not a major shock that he is the first US president to refuse to help Israel defend her citizens and national security. What is a major shock is his showing in no uncertain terms his bias against Israel’s right to defend herself BEFORE the election.Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/09/04/why-obama-has-abandoned-israel-and-jews-should-abandon-obama/#ixzz25jlLKyH3
