If the media is going to write about the debunked “whitey” tape, particularly as a trigger for Obama’s anti-smear site, there’s really no excuse for not mentioning the two sources more responsible than anyone else for hyping the story: pro-Hillary blogger Larry Johnson and Democratic strategist Bob Beckel, who appeared on Fox News claiming a “mighty big shoe” was about to drop regarding Michelle Obama. . . .
The behavior of the mainstream media is sending a clear message to those of us on the right: do not ever help out the Obama campaign, even if you think the world would be well-served by debunking a ridiculous accusation, because no one will ever remember your efforts to get to the truth. Instead, you’ll get blamed for spreading the malicious rumors.
They’re just trying to facilitate healing on the left.
