From May 2007-Nov. 2008, the New York Times alone had 138 stories w/ refs to Obama & Wright, 78 to Obama & Ayers, 38 to Obama & Rezko.

The stupid media isn't harsh on anyone. They make a big deal about nothing and ignore facts and are too lazy to check on outrageous BS Trump says (for example). Why don't they report on Trump's BS regarding illegals? Here's some good info:

Why don't our so called journalists take Trump to task on this issue?

Probably because Trump is good for ratings.

The second most recent non-incumbent election featured an even larger polling error. George W. Bush had a 12-percentage-point advantage over Al Gore in the early polls for the 2000 election, but Gore went on to win the national popular vote by half a percentage point. What changed? Bush, then the Texas governor, burst onto the national scene with relatively little negative media scrutiny. But that scrutiny grew as the primary and general election campaign progressed. According to Gallup, Bush’s net favorability dropped from +43 percentage points in December 1999 to +16 percentage points on the eve of the election.2

Like Bush in late 1999, most of the Republicans running in 2016 haven’t been on the national scene for that long. For all the GOP candidates except Jeb Bush and Donald Trump, at least one-third of adults do not know enough about them to form a favorable or unfavorable opinion. It isn’t difficult to imagine candidates’ popularity shifting dramatically as they become better known. And as the net favorability of the candidates change, how well they do against Clinton or another Democrat could change as well.

History’s lesson is clear: Don’t pay attention to general election polls a year before the election

Children of same-sex couples will not be able to join the Mormon Church until they turn 18 — and only if they move out of their parents' homes, disavow all same-sex relationships and receive approval from the church's top leadership as part of a new policy adopted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Court will hear a bloc of seven cases, including Little Sisters of the Poor v. Burwell — a complaint brought by a group of nuns who run a religiously affiliated nonprofit.

Groups like Little Sisters of the Poor are already exempt from providing birth control, but they want the Court to rule that it violates their religious freedoms to make them fill out a form that would exempt them from providing birth control, but still let their employees get coverage through other means

Existing same-sex couples are now considered subject to excommunication.

On Medicaid, Mr. Bevin said he wanted a federal waiver to “customize something for Kentucky.” He did not offer details, but said “it will involve people having skin in the game” — a financial stake in preserving their own health.

He also said he had no plan to release his tax returns, a refusal that dogged him during the campaign.

Myanmar democracy champion Aung San Suu Kyi made it clear on Tuesday that she was ready to defy the powerful military's attempts to clip her wings, as fresh results from Sunday's historic election showed her party heading for a resounding win.

As vote tallies trickled in, Suu Kyi's long-oppressed National League for Democracy (NLD) looked set to take control of most regional assemblies as well as forming the central government, a triumph that will reshape the political landscape.

Under the constitution drawn up by Myanmar's former junta, Suu Kyi is barred by the constitution from taking the presidency because her children are foreign nationals, a clause few doubt was inserted specifically to rule her out.
