The Obama sycophants of the press are scrambling for a coordinated message against Paul Ryan and the Romney/Ryan Republican ticket.
George Soros funded Media Matters delivered hundreds of pages of opposition research drivel to them and the national media found it TL;DR.
Seriously.
I don't blame them. I had three double ristrettos of Fruit Bat Espresso and was still falling asleep trying to get through even part of it.
Do you actually think they might do some independent research? Ha ha ha!
They get their talking points from the left wing blogosphere, just like the left wing posters here do!
I would say so, but can we at least muster up some sense of indignation at just how blatant and how deep the corruption runs here?
PS You can see the video of Soledad O'Brien referring to and then reading directly from her cheat notes here. Forwarding to the 2:10 mark will get you to where the camera catches her.

CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien has been caught using left-wing blog Talking Points Memo to counter Virginia House of Delegates member Barbara Comstock on the House GOP budget.
As Ali Akbar of Viral Read discovered:
Tonight, she was the substitute host for Anderson Cooper, a program that boasts of its reputation for “keeping [politicians] honest.” During her interview with Virginia House of Delegates Republican member Barbara Comstock, O’Brien became visibly flustered and was actually caught doing finger stress exercises as she attempt to insert editorial commentary while her guest, a former skilled Republican operative, defended the House GOP budget, designed by Budget Chairman Paul Ryan.
Accidentally, a cameraman captured O’Brien furiously flipping through notes, only to cut out seconds later. What was she viewing?
Footage proves it was a printed email, talking points and opposition research.
Here is a picture of her flipping through her "notes."
If you take a closer look, she's reading a blog post titled, The Myth of Paul Ryan The Bipartisan Leader. Once again, TPM is a left-wing blog.
Here's a closer look:
Viral Read continues:
The contents? There was a blog post from Talking Points Memo, the popular liberal blog. She was reading The Myth of Paul Ryan The Bipartisan Leader.
She never cited it, but used its contents. In fact, she claimed to be reading a direct statement from Senator Wyden’s (D-OR) office, but was in fact reading this excerpt from the blog:
The Romney campaign’s lone evidence that Ryan is a bipartisan leader amounts to a vague blueprint he co-wrote with Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) late last year that mirrors key elements of his Medicare plan. Wyden voted against Ryan’s budget and said Romney’s characterization of their work was dishonest.
“Governor Romney is talking nonsense. Bipartisanship requires that you not make up the facts,” Wyden’s office said in a statement. “I did not ‘co-lead a piece of legislation.’ I wrote a policy paper on options for Medicare. Several months after the paper came out I spoke and voted against the Medicare provisions in the Ryan budget. Governor Romney needs to learn you don’t protect seniors by makings things up, and his comments sure won’t help promote real bipartisanship.”
In the very same segment where she then interviewed Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter, she used no notes, no research, and what are generally accepted as softball questions.
To any casual outside observer, the contrast of O'Brien's treatment of Democrat and Republican guests, plus her use of left-wing talking points, this is not the work of a non-partisan, objective journalist.
I would say so, but can we at least muster up some sense of indignation at just how blatant and how deep the corruption runs here?
