Regular readers of this blog will recall past posts in which I have alerted you to the president’s media lap dogs; NBC’s Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw most recently.
I’ve also told you how Sharyl Attkisson was forced out at ABC because they didn’t like her investigative reports on Benghazi and the IRS because she was too critical of the Obama administration. Most recently she revealed details on how her computers were more than hacked; she watched as material on her monitor was being wiped clean.

This past weekend, Fox Business News Anchor Melissa Francis saw the ever- growing story of ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber’s lies, as the opportunity to reveal the story behind her departure from CNBC. Miss it? Click here.
CNBC management told her she was, “disrespecting the office of the president,” by telling the truth. She told her viewers that it wasn’t possible to add millions of people to the system and force insurance companies to cover their preexisting conditions without raising the price for everyone else. She also reported Obama’s you can keep your plan and your doctor lies.
Is it any wonder why CNBC’s rating have hit a 21-year low? Does anyone still watch CNBC or CNN for business news?
As of Saturday evening, a full eight days after the Gruber story broke, ABC and NBC did not cover this story for its liberal viewers.
CBS finally caught up with Fox on the Gruber story Friday evening, and this past Sunday Bob Schieffer, yes Bob Schieffer, told his Face the Nation viewers that he was “dumbstruck” by Gruber’s remarks. Click here to watch.

Last week we saw Nancy Pelosi get tripped up when she said she didn’t know who Gruber was, and today, with this story a week old, the President told reporters he just heard about the Gruber “outing.” Gruber has said on tape that he discussed the health insurance scheme with the president in the Oval Office and records show he visited the White House at least 19 times.

We also learned that in addition to the $400,000 he earned as a consultant on ObamaCare, he raked in more than $1 million from states like Michigan and Wisconsin. Records also show he was paid some $5 million in fees by DOJ, HHS, and the NIH.
