The Charlotte Observer once again proves it’s bias and
irresponsible reporting by hiding negative news about
Barack Obama and providing the most positive spin about
a damaging news story. This comes as no surprise. The
Observer endorsed Obama early in the election year and
provided no coverage of the many corruption ties. A
commenter on this blog has expressed this well:

“Friday, March 13, 09

  I Almost missed a very short article buried on page 14a along side giant ads for an end-of- season clearance sale that took 4/5 of the page.
   The article was in the CHARLOTTE OBSERVER with an innocent small lead line of “An Aide to President Obama is on leave from his White House Job”.
   Normally I would not read anything on page 14a, but this was the most important atricle in this newspaper this morning…..and it was buried without pomp along with the ads.
   Of course the article was about VIVEK KUNDRA and his hi-tech computer technology company. The article stated  2 of Kundra’s employees had been arrested in a raid by the FBI in D.C. and were being held without bond. Also found at the home of one who was arrested (Yusuf Acar-sounds like an Arab too me) was over $70,000 in CASH.
   What the article DIDN’T say was that KUNDRA ran Obama’s internet operation during his campaign operations! What the article didn’t say was Obama received millions and millions of questionable contribution dollars during his primary and general election campaigns by computer! Also what the article didn’t say was this was an ongoing investigation which went back quite some time! What the article didn’t say was what was OBAMA’s connection to Kundra and this illegal operation! What the article didn’t say was why no bond was granted to the 2 people arrested…were they flight risk?
   I think this story has long legs and will fly once the full truth is known.
   The big question remains….will “Slick Barry” take his place along side the others involved in this fraud, or will he slide again?
    I doubt the OBSERVER will ever print the truth about this matter considering they have already drank the Obama Kool-Aide, but thats ok. The bloggers will cover it fully!”
