One thing we failed to mention is that none of the four major news networks decided to cover the President&#8217;s executive order. Let me repeat that; <strong>NONE. ZILCH. NADA. NULL. <\/strong>Hmm&#8230; we think that&#8217;s a fairly odd way for the &#8216;liberal media&#8217; to behave. We would think a &#8216;liberal&#8217; media would televise every moment of a supposedly &#8216;liberal&#8217; president&#8217;s important executive order concerning immigration reform; touting it as the greatest event ever. But, not one of the four major news networks, ABC, NBC, CBS or FOX(big surprise), covered the event.<\/p>\n<p>Now the Republican Noise and Fear Machine has its sights set on probable 2016 Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. They&#8217;ve already been whining about the Benghazi non-scandal.
