Obama-Friendly Media Puts a Lid on NASA/Muslim Story

And you think the mainstream press still isn't going all out to protect this president from his fumbling, stumbling self? Well read again The Press "Sees No Evil, Hears No Evil" with Obama.

And then consider this:

About that outrageous announcement that Barack Obama wants to convert NASA from space exploration to an outreach to Muslim nations to help them feel good about themselves, Byron York did a Nexis search to see how the media was dealing with the remarkably inane comments of NASA chief Charles Bolden.

Total words about the NASA Muslim outreach program in the New York Times: 0.

Total words about the NASA Muslim outreach program in the Washington Post: 0.


Total words about the NASA Muslim outreach program on NBC Nightly News: 0.


Total words about the NASA Muslim outreach program on ABC World News: 0.


Total words about the NASA Muslim outreach program on CBS Evening News: 0.


If you were to receive your news from any one of these outlets, or even all of them together, and you heard about some sort of controversy involving the Obama administration redefining the space agency’s mission to feature outreach to Muslim countries, your response would be, “Huh?” Among all the news these distinguished outlets have seen fit to cover in recent days, the NASA story has not made the cut.
