** ** Video at source**** ** ** You Can’t Report in Here! This Is the News Room!<http://pjmedia.com/andrewklavan/2013/05/13/you-cant-report-in-here-this-is-the-news-room/> **** May 13th, 2013 - 5:30 am**** ** ** CBS News anchorman and Ted Baxter lookalike Scott Pelley<http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/cbs-anchor-we-are-getting-big-stories-wrong-over-and-over-again_722331.html>said recently of mainstream news: “Our house is on fire. … We’re getting the big stories wrong over and over again.”**** Well, no wonder, if the stories out of Politico<http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/05/the-posts-sharyl-attkisson-piece-163496.html>are true, and CBS News is actually trying to fire their reporter — and I do mean their one reporter — Sharyl Attkisson. Attkisson’s sin, according to the story, is reporting the news, specifically the news regarding the administration’s shameful behavior before, during and after the slaughter of four Americans by Islamic terrorists in Benghazi last year. The Daily Caller<http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/11/top-obama-officials-brother-is-president-of-cbs-news-may-drop-reporter-over-benghazi-coverage/>goes further and connects this dot to the fact that the president of CBS News has a brother in the White House.**** Those of us with a humorous turn of mind can’t help thinking of the famous line from the film *Dr. Strangelove*: “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!” Only now it’s “You can’t report in here! This is the News Room!”**** Well, get used to it, Mr. Pelley. As our mainstream news media is forced to stretch itself further and further to disguise the nature of reality from its audience, I guess we’re going to find out where and whether some inelastic measure of journalistic integrity snaps any of them back into place. An abortionist<http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/05/12/jury-returns-to-deliberations-monday-in-trial-abortion-doctor-kermit-gosnell/>massacres babies bringing the nature of abortion into question — they can’t report that. Gun violence plummets<http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-gun-crimes-pew-report-20130507,0,3022693.story>while gun ownership soars, bringing the motivation of gun control into question — they can’t report that. And this historic administration is proving itself historically bad for the nation, bringing its laughably under-qualified leader into question — and they certainly can’t report that. So sooner or later Scott Pelley and his ilk are going to have to choose whether to tell some measure of the truth or just stare into the camera with a crazy-ass look in their eyes while murmuring another famous movie line — this one from *Don’t Say A Word<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0765341522/ref=as_li_tf_il?ie=UTF8&tag=pajamasmedia-20&link_code=as3&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=0765341522> * (based on a book by yours truly): “I’ll never tell!”**** ** ** Tweet <http://twitter.com/share>**** May 13th, 2013 - 5:30 am**** ** ** -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
