The Obama Years: Beyond the Halo
The report features some of AIM’s most powerful and insightful analysis from the past four years, including stories on Obama’s radical roots; Democratic Party involvement in voter fraud efforts; how President Obama has used his “green energy” strategy to benefit friends and donors; and much more. The report also includes a summary of the “Fast and Furious” scandal, which has led to contempt of Congress citations against Attorney General Eric Holder; and an interview with the former editor of the New York Times magazine, Edward Klein, about his bestselling book on Obama, The Amateur.
From Accuracy in Media:
These penetrating articles, and many more, paint a stunning portrait of Barack Obama’s presidency, and provide some ominous suggestions of what might transpire if he is elected to a second term. The report is also an indictment of the mainstream press, which continues to ignore and/or spin these news stories beyond recognition in a clear effort to help him win re-election.
This AIM Special Report boasts a great lineup of investigative reporters and superb writing from AIM Editor Roger Aronoff, Cliff Kincaid, who heads up the AIM Center for Investigative Journalism, AIM Chairman Don Irvine, and independent journalist Rusty Weiss.
In the words of AIM Chairman Don Irvine, this report examines “the media coverage of President Obama’s agenda, ranging from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, to his green jobs programs including the now-bankrupt Solyndra, and his management of the economy, which has resulted in a sharp decline in household income and a rise in consumer pessimism about the future.”
He closes by urging readers to “read this report carefully…[and] support AIM’s efforts to counter the media’s misreporting with facts that will inspire a well-informed electorate to make better choices about the future of our country.”
