Media ignores Obama’s socialist past

A
conservative media analyst says the mainstream media is not only
downplaying Barack Obama’s connection to former domestic terrorist Bill
Ayers, but also choosing not to report on the Democratic presidential
nominee’s past membership in a socialist organization.
Bob Knight of the Culture and Media Institute believes
the media are so busy examining the GOP presidential ticket of John
McCain and Sarah Palin, hoping to uncover some dirt, that they are not
looking into Obama’s questionable connections, including that with
former Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Knight contends the
media are trying to portray Ayers as a “rehabilitated” terrorist whose
bombing of the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol was merely a “youthful
indiscretion.”
“Ayers is still involved in radical efforts to socialize children into
left-wing views beginning in kindergarten,” Knight says. “That’s what
he does as an education expert; he’s by no means reformed.”
The media, according to Knight, is also attempting to cover up the fact
that Obama was endorsed by and also a member of a political party
established by the Democratic Socialists of America. “When a candidate
is revealed to have had ties to a far-left or far-right party, that
should be news,” he adds. “The fact that Obama has been linked to this
socialist party would be of interest to most Americans, which is why
the mainstream media are suppressing that fact.”
While running for the Illinois State Senate, Obama signed a contract
with the Chicago “New Party,” which was established by the Democratic
Socialists of America.
If there were allegations of either John McCain or Sarah Palin
once belonging to a socialist group, would it be a major story
in the mainstream media? Vote in our poll
