520 The biggest story of the election was how the media
ignored the biggest story of the election. Amid all the
breathless coverage of a nonexistent war on women, there
was little or no coverage of Obama's war on the economy-
how, for instance, part-time work is replacing full-time
work, how low-wage jobs are replacing high-wage ones, how
for Americans between the ages of twenty-five and fifty-
four there are fewer jobs today than there were when the
recession officially ended in 2009, and fewer, in fact,
than at any time since mid-1997. The downsizing of the
American economy wasn't the only story the media missed-or
suppressed-there was also the unraveling of Obama's
foreign policy and the deadly scandals at home (Fast and
Furious) and abroad (the terrorist attack that killed the
American ambassador at Benghazi). But instead of serious,
substantive journalism, the media reported ad nauseam on
trifles (Big Bird), Republican-baiting hysteria (how
everything the Republicans said was allegedly "racial
code"), and distortions of Romney's remarks (such as the
"47 percent" comment). The media dropped the ball in
covering the 2012 election, says David Freddoso, editorial
page editor of the Washington Examiner, and in doing so,
the media failed in their responsibility to keep
politicians honest and the public well-informed. Freddoso,
a New York Times bestselling author and former
congressional reporter for National Review, fills this
volume not only with outrageous examples of media bias but
also with dozens of real stories that genuinely
inquisitive reporters should have relished but that the
overwhelmingly liberal press didn't even bother to cover.
Full of the news you didn't hear about in 2012, David
Freddoso's Spin Masters: How the Media Ignored the Real
News and Helped Reelect Barack Obama will be the most
provocative and accurate take of just how Barack Obama
managed to get reelected amid the worst economic times
since at least the 1970s-and how the media helped him do
it.
