The pathology of the liberal media

Of all the stars that lined up right for the election of Obama, none was bigger or brighter than the craven MSM and its irresponsible reporting, or lack thereof.  This post by Scott Johnson of Powerline is but one of countless examples of the liberal media's, aka MSM, failure to perform its basic role as watchdog for the people.  Unarguably had MSM thoroughly vetted Obama's past associations, political and personal, instead of white washing them, it is unlikely he would have fooled as many people as he did.  As it was, the MSM papered over and refused to dig into all the troubling people and events in this weird candidate's past. Voila, we are stuck with a radical and incompetent head of state for at least four years.  In this particular case of malfeasance and abject dereliction of responsibility,  the Minneapolis Star Tribune virtually ignored the obviously illegal establishment of a Muslim religion based private school supported by tax payers.  Were it not for the work of Scott Johnson and the lone conservative investigative reporter, Katherine Kersten, on the staff of the Trib, this important story would never have seen the light of day, and the stealth Muslim invasion of our free society would have continued on its merry way.  If ever there was cause to award a Pulitzer Prize for investigative journalism, this one is a slam dunk.  Wanna bet  she doesn't even get nominated for one by the uber liberal Pulitzer Committee?
