Media Bias Re: Bill Ayers & Barack Obama

So strong is the media inthetankedness for Barack Obama that they are now claiming (see CNN) that a magazine outing the relationship between Obama and unrepentant former terrorist Bill Ayers--National Review--actually debunked the relationship. Um, no.

See Stanley Kurtz, leading researcher on this question, at NR's The Corner:

A CNN article on Sarah Palin’s criticism of Barack Obama’s relationship to unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers actually cites National Review as one of the publications supposedly debunking Palin’s point. How CNN can cite National Review this way is a mystery to me. Maybe we’ll have to set up an NR "truth squad."

I was very briefly on CNN immediately after the McCain campaign called for me to be given access to UIC library. A CNN reporter interviewed me, and almost every question was an attempt to challenge the significance of the Obama-Ayers link. I answered every query in detail. When the report finally aired, my points about the significance of the Obama-Ayers connection were cut. And now, CNN is actually claiming NR as an ally in its effort to undercut Palin. Incredible.

You can't make this stuff up.

NB #6: How I Was Hired By Bill Ayers, By Barack Obama

The title for this post was one of the ones that got rejected by my editor. I can't imagine why it didn't make the cut. Oh well,

University Denies Access to Obama-Ayers Documents

will probably work.

But seriously, this is a story you should follow. I blogged about it yesterday--here--and have been reading and researching it ever since.

Here's the thing: Obama has ties to Bill Ayers--a former terrorist. Supporters of Barack Obama can say what they want, but should ask themselves one question: if you knew John McCain had ties to someone who used to bomb abortion clinics, would you want to know more?

That's what I thought.
