If your first answer was Romney, who didn't release a birth certificate or anything else except for one year's tax return, a tax return he filled out while he was a Presidential candidate, and if your answer to the second is Barack Obama, who released a birth certificate and 12 years of tax return then you're correct
Ummm...I don't watch Fox News every day. In fact, I rarely watch it. If I do watch the news, it's the local lamestream media.

And you think that Obama is so transparent? Then why when his SSN was run through E-verify, it came back as a no-match?

Besides, what does this have to do with the lamestream media being biased to the left?

For those who ask me to prove the lamestream media is biased, do your own research. Try reading newspapers like the NYT and WaPo and do so with an open mind. Take the time to question what was written then go online and compare to other news sources.

At one time the Media was more balanced. Sad to say that this is no longer the case

No, that is not the reason. Romney didn't release his college records so why should Obama. And with people making a big deal about Obama's college records and how he must be hiding something why the hell didn't the media ask the obvious question?

How did you get Obama's SS number?

I didn't say you watched Fox News and my question was about the mainstream media not just Fox

The media did all it could to sweep under the rug anything negative about Obama. Why would they then ask Romney for college records and open the subject of college records up for discussion?

No presidential candidate has *ever* been asked for his transcripts...because most people don't really care.

But the Right was demanding Obama's at every turn.

Has anyone ever bothered to run any other candidates' SSN#? Or demand a birth certificate?

Why do you suppose they are so obsessed with his?

I don't know if that is true or not.

What I remember was the media constantly telling us what a genius Obama is. Maybe that is why some wanted to see his records? Also it was questioned if Obama, having lived outside the US, had applied as a foreign student.

Now this is what a fake scandal looks like.


Amen!

Ummm...You're the one claiming that he is so transparent. Thus, I'm surprised that you are unaware that he released his supposed Selective Service registration form. His supposed SSN is listed on that.

Now, if you did your own research, you would have known this. See what I'm talking about? Just because it's not in the lamestream media it doesn't mean it didn't happen

You can't just say that only the NYT and The Nation are not corporate owned. They are their own corporations, and they are fake left. You can see by the advertisements they display on their pages, those are companies which fund those outlets. It's not only about who the outright owners are, but who funnels money their way. The Nation runs ads for BigPharma, so don't expect them to run any stories contradicting questionable medical studies and the like, as one example. Katrina and her father both sit on the Council on Foreign Relations, an organization that promotes neoliberal economics. So, unless I missed it, and I doubt it, don't expect The Nation, or the NYT for that matter, to talk about the Trans-Pacific Partnership and be against it.

Just because you are so brainwashed into thinking everyone that isn't a fascist neo-Confederate is a communist out to get, doesn't mean I'm not. You are so far right, Mussolini is waving you hello to come have a seat with him.

As I said before, the "liberal mainstream media" softballs every single presidential candidate that is vetted by Wall St., and Romney was vetted by Wall St. in 2012. Watch MSNBC be soft on Hillary Clinton in the run up to 2016 and tough on all the other candidates.
