===================
More on the Wendy Davis thing.


See....if this were a `republican' running for a Senate seat, or a
governorship and they'd falsely inflated their bio, the media would be all
over it. Look how they went after Herman Cain. They were DESPERATE that Herman
Cain not be the first black president! It had to be a `democrat' first black
president! And to make sure it WAS as `democrat' first black president, they
deliberately trumped up some controversy to assassinate Cain's character from
the very beginning. Make it completely impossible for Cain to try for the
nomination. The mass media `fed' the republicans a card; John McCain! A
completely un-electable candidate. (When the main stream media starts `talking
up' a `republican' just before a primary...you just KNOW that republican is
the one the democrats WANT as an opponent)


Now, here's this Davis woman running for an important governorship in Texas,
and the democrats desperately want her to win. To the point where they will
gloss over a pack of lies she's been telling in her bio for several years.


Notice how hard they are going after Christie right now? Its a situation where
they want to derail HIS chances for the nomination in 2016. He's much too
strong a candidate, so they're ginning up everything they CAN to throw at him.


But...the same sort of controversy against their favorite in the Texas
governor's race? Not much of anything on her falsified bio from the main
stream media.


(By the way...the Christie `controversy' might be falling apart, but thats
another subject. I'll follow some of the breaking news on that this week maybe
and get back here on it)


Meantime, here's this:



Michael Barone: Where's Politico's Coverage of Wendy Davis?

In Tuesday's Washington Examiner, Michael Barone rips into Politico's glaring
lack of coverage of the bio exaggeration scandal that threatens to derail the
Texas gubernatorial campaign of Democrat rising star Wendy Davis. It is
important to note that while Politico is a left-wing news outlet, it does
disguise itself as objective:


There has been lots of coverage in Politico on the charges against New Jersey
Republican Governor Chris Christie and members of his staff. About Texas
Democratic state Senator and governor candidate Wendy Davis, not so much. In
case you missed it, the Dallas Morning News published a story by reporter
Wayne Slater on Saturday that pointed out discrepancies between the stories
Davis has told about her past and the facts.


[I]f there's a legitimate reason to scrutinize Chris Christie's record --
because he might be a successful presidential candidate -- there's also a
legitimate reason to scrutinize Wendy Davis'. So what does Politico offer us?
Only one story since Slater's Jan. 18 Morning News story, headlined "Wendy
Davis hits back at questions about bio," a story which includes nothing about
how she left her second husband the day after he paid off her law school loans
and agreed that he have custody of her daughter. - Politico also links to a
timeline of Davis's life that leaves out some of the inconvenient facts.


This is a pretty weak offering from a publication that aspires to present a
definitive account of American politics.


Since the publication of Barone's piece, Politico has posted one more Davis
article -- a defense of the Democrat.


Compared to NBC's political director Chuck Todd, Politico looks like a
right-wing propaganda machine. On his hour-long MSNBC political program "The
Daily Rundown," Todd has not touched the story even once.


This is the media giving up all pretense of objectivity to circle their
collective wagons to protect someone they invested so much into promoting as a
superstar.


There are reports that the powers-that-be at Politico resent having their
publication branded as left-wing, but it is their dismissing and downplaying
of stories like this that have earned them the moniker.
