Let me put this into perspective for you. On one hand, we had this huge, international breaking story about an assassination plot against Obama!!! Oh my!!!! It was "foiled" by ATF and it was a skinhead conspiracy!!! Poor Obama!!! Americans are SO RACIST!!! Within 24 hours, it disappeared. On the other hand, we have the teen-age daughter of a VP candidate who, it was discovered, is pregnant and that's not a crime. The media WENT WILD, stalking the baby's father, speculating all over the place, and keeping this in the news for weeks.
The "media" is a mess. And, at the very least, they need to apologise to the American people for their bizarre attempts to control the election.
So - you feel they SHOULD still be reporting on it? The court documents on this were unsealed, that word got out, naturally all the media reported on it. Then it turned out to be two kids, not much of a story.
I dont recall "the liberal elite media" reporting a massive Neo-Nazi conspiracy, or anyone implicating all Americans as SO RACIST, which seems more a favorite theme of yours than most other people's.
I dont get this - the "media" (<---plural word) "at the very least need to apologise to the American people for their bizarre attempts to control the election." Why, because they reported a story?
If an apology would be the very least they could do - what would you like them to do, to be adequate?

Of course they should have followed up -- and widely reported that the BREAKING NEO-NAZI CONSPIRACY to assassinate Obama and kill hundreds was actually stupid chit-chat between two young losers with a few guns between them. But, no, in their haste to cry "Oh, no, Obama is a potential victim!" they also created fear in the black community that a Neo-Nazi conspiracy was plotting against them. And they didn't sufficiently withdraw or even explain the fact that it was all overblown.
Adequacy would be to ADMIT that they are creating stories rather than simply reporting. If they had simply "reported," they would have conveyed from the start that this was not a "Neo-Nazi Conspiracy."

Like I said - the GOP makes a big deal about things like this. Reasonable people don't.
And it's really hilarious that you're so worried about "creat[ing] fear in the black community." As far as I can see, your entire reason for existence is to create fear - fear of Obama as a secret Muslim. Fear of taxes. Fear of potential riots.
It's really quite childish and stupid to whine about it now in a story that came and went in 24 hours.
I would, but unfort, I'm not making $250,000 plus.
Clinton promised a tax cut for all but the top 2%. After the election he raised taxes on people making $20,000/yr from 11% to 15%. We're all gonna get screwed!

Are you sure you saw the same story the rest of us did? Honestly, you sound like you have lost your mind.
It was one of OBAMA's propaganda just like the woman with the B scratched on her cheek!!!
Obama loves to play the VICTIM!!!!
He does that in his rallies. He likes to play the VICTIM of McCain to get the sympathy of the people. "Oh McCain said this about me, and McCAIN said that about me -- poor me...."
Watch out for more propaganda where OBAMA plays THE VICTIM of AMERICA!!!!!!

Please copy over here any thread or post I have written "creating fear" that Obama is a "secret Muslim," etc. I WILL be waiting and I WILL be calling you on it. Sorry, but I've not been in the thick of the Muslim conspiracy or birth certificate threads. I can't stand Obama on his tactics or policies -- and that's enough.
I never said the ATF lied. I said the media made it out to be a bigger thing than it was.
