Another year has gone by in a flash in some ways and moved like a snail in others. Being an election year, we saw the media magnify some topics while selecting others to blackout. I would say that overall, the media has been the pervasive story this year.
The “mainstream media” has been an active participant in the Obama administration and a guardian on a rather large soapbox for the institutional Left. The level of media bias in this country has reached a tipping point; it truly is functioning like the state-run media we see in communist nations, both past and present.
Other highlights include:
- The manufactured war on women
- Obamacare, or as I call it, Obamatax
- Fast and Furious
- Eric Holder’s Corruption
- Everything is racist
- Trayvon Martin
- Intelligence leaks
- Aurora Theater shooting
- Chicago Warzone
- Flash mobs
- Occupy
- The never-ending Republican primary
- Slut walks
- Julia
- Great moments in #FORWARD
- Obama ate dog
- Food police
- Gas prices
- Green energy loans and cronies
- Wasteful spending
- Secret Service scandals
- Crippling debt, sustained high unemployment and high gas prices; rising food costs.
- Eating the rich/class warfare rhetoric/47%
- HHS Mandate
- The Three Liberal Harpies: Sandra Fluke, Hillary Rosen and Lena Dunham
- Chik-Fil-A
- Paul Ryan
- Presidential race: Mitt Romney vs Barack Obama 2012
- Hurricane Sandy & FEMA’s pathetic response
- Increased Islamofascism worldwide; whitewashing of related language in the US
- Iranian nuke capability
- Israel’s increasingly precarious position
- Benghazi-gate

I have compiled some of the items I wrote about in 2012, along with the bigger news stories, and will be posting them separately by month. Sort of 12 days of Christmas for the news.
Funny side item: one of the top searches on my site to date is “Meghan McCain”. Seriously? I loathe that woman. That correlates with top all-time views of a particular edition of The Morning Links from August 2011.
