This from Media Research Center:
On October 27, 2011, former Newsweek senior editor Jonathan Alter wrote a column for Bloomberg News headlined “Obama Miracle is White House Free of Scandal.” Alter began: “President Barack Obama goes into the 2012 [race] with a weak economy that may doom his reelection. But he has one asset that hasn’t received much attention: He’s honest.”
Alter even bragged: “According to a metric created by political scientist Brendan Nyhan, Obama set a record earlier this month for most days without a scandal of any president since 1977.” Nyhan’s methodology insisted that a president doesn’t have a scandal until The Washington Post calls it a “scandal” by using that precise word.
The article lists several unqualified (by all but the obtuse) scandals. Our senior editor is working on a more extensive post dealing with Obama’s scandal ridden presidency.
Well I don’t need to wait for the senior editors list to rattle a bunch off the top of my head. Fast and Furious, Solyndra, NY Times/National Security leaks to make them look good, GSA scandal, not charging the Black Panthers because of politcal reasons just off the top of my head. I’m sure the follow up piece will unpack these and the many more I forgot.
