Leftist media conspired to kill stories about Obama's goofy pastor

An interesting piece of investigative journalism here on how several of the best-known liberal media outlets- including some on-line- conspired to kill the story about President Obama's nutty, racist long-time pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, during the last presidential campaign.

Stories about Wright, whose anti-white, anti-American Sunday morning tirades had gone on for years, emerged at a time when the media were trying hard to sell the idea that Obama- whose voting record was among the farthest Left of any member of the U.S. Senate- was in fact a moderate. The effort continues to this day. Wright had baptized Obama's children and served as his minister for twenty years.

The outrage among the supposedly objective media was fascinating, especially given the eagerness with which it snapped up any damaging rumor about George W. Bush four years before- including the false story the reporting of which ended Dan Rather's career at CBS.
