Where are the Woodward and Bernsteins of today?

During the White House press briefing, as questions about the General Petraeus scandal were mounting, it became increasingly evident that stories weren't adding up. So much so, that even the press is acknowledging that none of what they're being told makes sense. And, unfortunately for Jay Carney, one of the very few real journalists left in the mainstream media was part of the press pool yesterday at the White House.

This morning on radio Glenn played the exchange between Tapper and the White House Press Secretary.

TAPPER:  "This investigation had been going on for months.  How is it that the White House didn't have any idea of this until the day after the election and then congress a few days later?"

CARNEY:  "Well, I would refer you to the FBI.  They have as my ‑‑ as I understand it, protocols in place for when they notify the legislative and executive branches of investigations and, you know, it is simply a fact that the White House was not aware of the situation regarding General Petraeus until Wednesday and the situation regarding General Allen until Friday.  So, you know, the FBI has a place to go in terms of an explanation of the protocols they follow, but I understand that that is the answer that they will give, that there are protocols they follow that govern how they inform the various branches of government of these kinds of investigations."

TAPPER:  "Well, do you understand how people would think this is utterly bizarre, the day after the election and the anger you're hearing on Capitol Hill they didn't know this was going on?  I mean the timing, at least the appearance."

CARNEY:  "Look.  All I can tell you is when the White House was informed.  And I would let the relevant members of congress explain to you how and when they were informed.  My understanding is there are protocols that the FBI follows with regards to these kinds of notifications and I would refer you to the FBI and the Department of Justice for an explanation of those protocols."

This administration really has no shame.

"It doesn't matter how ridiculous, how fairytale‑like it sounds to them, they don't care.  They just stick to the line: 'We didn't know'," Pat snapped.

Glenn compared what's happening between the press and the White House to Watergate. Watergate without Woodward and Bernstein.

The fundamentals of journalism have changed — from what journalism students are taught to how they interact with the government.

Glenn explained that journalists are taught Walter Lippmann and they're taught about Watergate. They're supposed to be the watch dogs — reporting the truth and holding the country's leaders accountable to the words that they say as well as their actions.

"What they're taught is now that they have to get the bad guys in government," he explained. "They have to go get them because they can change the world, just like Woodward and Bernstein did with Watergate."

Unfortunately, they're also indoctrinated with the progressive agenda. So while that's what they do against the Republicans, but not on the liberal side. There is a complete double standard. They're job is still to change the world, unfortunately they do it by furthering the agenda of progressives.

If the media reported on the things going on inside the Obama administration with the same scrutiny that they did the Bush administration, there is no way he would have been reelected. In fact, Glenn thinks he would possibly be impeached.

"It's the coverup.  And you can't tell me that we didn't, we didn't know," Glenn said. "We did.  These reporters — did any of them ask yesterday — are any of them asking: How could the president not know?  Don't you think that's a problem?  I mean, again using logic, does the president not think that this is a problem, that he wasn't aware of Benghazi?  When everybody around him had that information but he wasn't told?"

They just disregard the questions and refer reporters back to the FBI.

"That's all they do when they get in trouble," Pat said. "They refer you to somebody else.  'All I can tell you is it's a fact we didn't know until last Wednesday,' despite how unbelievable that is, to virtually anyone with a brain.  Nobody believes that, unless you're an Obama zombie."

So what's Glenn's solution? How do you get the truth if the media isn't going to do its job?

Stop giving the mainstream media all of the power to get the answers.

"You're not going to win playing their game," he told his audience. "You have to spit yourself out of the system."

Which is exactly what Glenn and a few others have done.

"I don't care if it's the Daily Kos or, you know, or Breitbart or TheBlaze," he added, "but you stop getting your news from traditional media.  Stop.  It is the definition of insanity."

TheBlaze and other outlets, like Breitbart, the Daily Kos, and the Daily Caller, are trying to fill the space that nobody else will.

Glenn encouraged his audience to read the work these organizations are doing — but also to support them. It's not cheap to take on and do the work the big organizations of the mainstream media have stopped doing.

"We have to reinvent the entire system," Glenn said,  and it starts really with you."

POLL: Should Universities allow pro-Hamas protests?

Just one day after Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel, which left over 1,400 people Israelis dead, 34 different student groups from Harvard University wrote a joint statement pinning the blame of Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel. In the following days after publishing this callous statement, these students staged a walkout and rallied in support of the Palestinians. As Glenn has discussed, this is not an isolated event, and campuses across the country have hosted similar rallies where antisemitic jargon like "we don't want no Jew state" and "globalize the intifada" is freely spewed.

Should Universities allow pro-Hamas protests?

While the Universities have not officially backed any of these rallies or student groups that organized them, they haven't stopped them either, which raises the question: should they? On one hand, these are American students in American Universities, who are protected by the First Amendment. On the other hand, history tells us how dangerous antisemitism is if left unchecked; and what of the rights of Jewish students to be safe on the campuses they pay to attend? Let us know what you think in the poll below:

POLL: What do YOU think Israel should do about Gaza?

Should Israel take over Gaza after defeating Hamas? This contentious historical question has resurfaced amid Israel's retaliatory airstrikes in Gaza following Hamas' terror attacks, which resulted in the greatest death of Jews since the Holocaust. Biden and the global elites have warned Israel against occupation of the Palestinian territory. When asked on 60 Minutes if he would support the Israeli occupation of Gaza, Biden said, “I think it would be a big mistake.” Today Glenn responded to Biden’s answer: “I don't think it's a mistake to occupy."

This has been a long-standing, polarizing issue that is now more relevant than ever, and we want to hear YOUR thoughts. Let us know in the poll below:

Would you support an Israeli occupation of Gaza?

Do you think the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza are justified?

Do you think a two-state solution is still possible?

Funding IRAN?! Here are the TOP 5 reasons Joe Biden should be IMPEACHED

On September 12th, the House announced an official impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden with allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption. Naturally, the media quickly jumped to the President’s aid claiming that “there is no evidence to support these claims” and that the whole affair is a witch hunt.

If you’ve been listening to Glenn, you know that this is simply not the case. Biden has been committing impeachment-worthy deeds before he even stepped foot into the Oval Office—there’s no shortage of evidence to justify this inquiry. Here are 5 scathing reasons why Biden should be impeached:

He was responsible for the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster.

The Biden administration began with the US's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Under his watch, Biden left thousands of US citizens and allies stranded in the Taliban's hostile regime. Countless Afghan allies have been murdered by the Taliban due to the Biden administration's negligence.

He was involved with Hunter Biden's illicit foreign business dealings.

There is clear evidence that Joe Biden was more than aware of his son Hunter's foreign business dealings. From suspicious money laundering through the Biden family's accounts to Joe's involvement with important business meetings within Hunter's company, there is mounting evidence to warrant an impeachment inquiry.

He lied about his involvement with Hunter's business dealings.

Not only did Biden involve himself with his son's less-than-legal foreign business ventures, but he lied to the American people about it too, claiming he had NO KNOWLEDGE of what was going on.

He failed to protect the Southern border, and actively made it worse.

Biden singlehandedly turned the Southern border into the worst illegal immigration crisis in US history. He reversed many policies set in place by the Trump administration, resulting in 2.3 million illegal immigrants flooding into the US under his watch, a historic high.

He sent IRAN AND HAMAS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Biden reversed the Trump-era policy that halted all funds going into Iran. The Wall Street Journal revealed the smoking-gun evidence proving that Iran trained AND funded Hamas before its gruesome terror attacks against Israel. Moreover, shortly before the attacks, the Biden administration unfroze $6 BILLION dollars of Iran's assets as a part of a prisoner swap. On top of this, Biden resumed $200 million worth of "humanitarian aid" to Gaza that Trump had ended—because the money was being used to buy weapons for Hamas.

Top 5 economic milestones that show HOW BAD Bidenomics has made the economy

From groceries to house prices, everything seems to get more expensive, and you can thank Biden for that. Glenn recently exposed the truth about 'Bidenomics' and the havoc it has wrought on the American economy. Here are five economic milestones during the Biden administration that expose the glaring track record of "Bidenomics:"

In July 2022, the inflation rate hit 9.1 percent, a 40-year record high.

In June 2022, gas hit an all time record high of $5 a gallon for the national average.

61 percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck as of this September.

Interest rates reached a 15-year high at 5.25 percent and are still increasing.

Americans have $1 trillion in collective credit card debt, in part due to food/staple pieces being very high.
