Enduring America can exclusively reveal that CNN, well-known propaganda arm of the Obama Administration, bumped the very important story of Obama's bow to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia for in-depth coverage of the White House arrival of Bo, the Portuguese water dog.
David Corn of The Nation had Twittered this week that he was going to be discussing the controversy. So how did Kurtz open Reliable Sources on Sunday?
Media manipulation? Quite right, Howard. For several minutes, guests Chrystia Freeland of the Financial Times, Tara Wall of The Washington Times, and David Corn pondered how "all the CNN people...were saying, 'Oh, look at the dog. It's so cute.'"
Post-dog story, Kurtz did put up Obama's statement, "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation." He even played the criticism of Fox's Sean Hannity, "We're an arrogant country and we're not a Christian nation and we bow before the Saudi king."
But did CNN show the bow? It did not.
Instead, Kurtz let Freeland --- who is quite clearly not an American and quite clearly works for a left-wing British newspaper --- bury the incident, "[Obama's comments] were picked up by some of the more shrill right-wing critics of the president, but what I thought was really interesting about those remarks...was how smoothly that went over in the U.S."
Now some readers may think we're making too much of a fuss of this obvious conspiracy between the mainstream media and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to keep the real news from us. But please consider....
What was the closing world-shattering story, even more important than Bo the White House Dog, that Kurtz and Reliable Sources pondered?

I never thought I'd be leading off this program with a dog story. All right. It's not just any dog. It's the new Obama family dog. But it's also about White House media manipulation.

I don't know how much of his bow was out of some religious practice or just out of a desire to please whoever he's with, a bit like Clinton used to be. I was watching his speech today on the economy and I have to say I was a bit troubled with some of what he had to say. I didn’t see it all and haven’t had time to read the whole thing but, I was in part tired of hearing the same old saw horse about health care and social security. Nothing new there.
But I did find his allusions to religious language…um interesting. The talk about building upon the rock and not the sand and the need for 5 pillars. So he's trying to please both Christians and Muslims with the mixing of those two religious images. Odd to me for a President to do that in a speech on the economy.
I noticed that the markets didn’t particularly like what he had to say. Dow fell during and big time afterward. Of course gold and silver took a cue from it all and started to climb. I’ve been watching it with the tracking widget http://www.learcapital.com/exactprice and during the speech gold turned around and went up. Guess a lot of folk are feeling the need to protect their earnings in the shiny metal stuff.
