There is only one thing worse than Barack Obama being elected for another four years as president: the mainstream media shielding him beforehand on issues and covering for him when he is caught in a lie.

On Nov. 1, Iran fired on one of our drones flying in international airspace, and the media didn’t report this until after the election. Also, only after the election are we finding out exactly how severe Hurricane Sandy was and the real extent of the damage this storm caused. Plus, the White House still has not released all the information about our embassy in Libya being left hung out to dry. There are many more incidences too numerous to list.

I know Obama’s supporters will never complain about this violation of the First Amendment as they like the Soviet Union-style of government that gives them handouts. However, the T.A.S.S. style of reporting by the American media, or hiding facts to protect the president’s/premier’s re-election campaign, is unacceptable in America.

Is a continuation of this media corruption what we have to look forward to under the next four years of Obama?
