Michele Bachmann: Flake

The Associated Press is citing that goofy PolitiFact operation in its report on Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, "FACT CHECK: Bachmann bomblets raising eyebrows."

Who's eyebrows are raised about Michele Bachmann?

Bill Maher's eyebrows? Maybe Rachel Maddow? I suppose Chris "Are you a flake?" Wallace is in a state of raised eyebrows.

Michele Bachmann's claim that she has "never gotten a penny" from a family farm that's been subsidized by the government is at odds with her financial disclosure statements. They show tens of thousands in personal income from the operation.

And, on a less substantive note, she flubbed her hometown history when declaring "John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa," and "that's the kind of spirit that I have, too," in running for president.

The actor was born nearly 150 miles away. It was the serial killer John Wayne Gacy Jr. who lived, for a time, in Waterloo.

Those were among the latest examples of how the Minnesota congresswoman has become one to watch — for inaccuracies as well as rising support — in the Republican presidential race.

Did the Associated Press rip Joe Biden or Obama apart like this when they were presidential candidates?

Did PolitiFact highlight the litany of Obama gaffes? Did the Associated Press report on all the raised eyebrows Obama's idiotic comments have caused?

Good grief, Biden, the human gaffe/exaggeration/lie machine, is a heartbeat from the presidency!

What about Biden's "bomblets"? The list is endless.

Clearly, Michele Bachmann is being targeted for destruction. She's being dubbed a ditz.

In 2008, the lib media found success with their relentless attacks on Sarah Palin, and they're repeating the strategy.

It's extremely slimy.

I'm so sick of conservative women being marginalized.

Michele Bachmann is not a flake.

Phil Griffin: MSNBC's Leftist Bias

This is for the Leftists who insist that MSNBC is a legitimate news outlet rather than a Left-wing propaganda machine.

That includes Rachel Maddow and her absurd claim that MSNBC is not a political operation.

MSNBC President Phil Griffin embraces his Lefty oasis and encourages Leftists to consider it their home.

From the Media Research Center:

In an interview with the AP, MSNBC President Phil Griffin bragged about life after Keith Olbermann, touting the cable channel as "really the place to go for progressives."

Griffin didn't bother denying the liberal bent of the network. He highlighted left-wing anchor Rachel Maddow, hyping, "She really has elevated the discussion and is in many ways the model that we want for cable news."

The MSNBC executive wouldn't discuss Keith Olbermann, who abruptly left the cable network in January. His new show will debut this week on Current TV.

...In the June 19 AP piece by David Bauder, Griffin identified his network's brand: "MSNBC has established a sensibility, a position, a platform...MSNBC stands for something and MSNBC is really the place to go for progressives and people who are looking for smart, thoughtful analysis."

I don't want to hear another Leftist claim that MSNBC is fair and balanced and delivers objective reporting.

If that's what you believe, maybe MSNBC President Phil Griffin can help you understand that you're wrong.
