Following is a blog I wrote almost 10 years ago (March 11, 2016 to be exact) about the Obama administration’s bombing of countries around the world and how our wonderful “neutral” media treated his actions.
Take a look, then we’ll discuss. And please pay special attention to the paragraph I have put in bold print:

THE OBAMA/CLINTON “SUCCESS STORY” IN LIBYA
March 11, 2016
As ugly as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s actions were during and after the Benghazi, Libya massacre – and as ugly as Hillary Clinton’s lies about the massacre have been from then right up to the present – it was not the only disaster resulting from the Obama administration’s performance in that godforsaken country.
Excerpted from article at Agence France Presse (AFP):
United Nations (United States) (AFP) – The Islamic State group has significantly expanded its control over Libya, fueling demand by the country’s warring parties for more arms to confront the threat, UN experts have told the Security Council.
IS has successfully recruited young men from local tribes, offering them protection and benefits but it has also enlisted military officers from the former regime of Moamer Kadhafi, said the report by the panel of experts who report to a UN sanctions committee.
IS jihadists have cemented their hold on the coastal city of Sirte, wiping out opposition and the group is “currently the most significant political and military actor in the region,” said the report which was submitted to the council on Wednesday.
The extremist group has also made inroads in Tripoli and in the western city of Sabrata, boosting its presence through local recruitment and foreign fighters who transit through Turkey and Tunisia.
Extremists from sub-Saharan Africa have traveled through Sudan to join IS ranks in Sirte and Benghazi, the report said, confirming fears that the Libyan IS branch isseeking to draw recruits from other parts of the continent.
As much of a hellhole as Libya was under moamar qaddafi, removing him has made things exponentially worse.
Now Libya has no functioning government, and has become a huge, strategically located, oil-rich haven for terrorists of every kind…with ISIS being the biggest and most successful – i.e. most barbarically murderous – of them all.
President Obama, with Hillary Clinton’s full acquiescence, ordered the bombing of Libya for over a half year – And did it without asking for authorization from congress, which meant he was working outside the constitution – a little something most mainstream media conveniently ignored on his behalf then…and conveniently ignore on Hillary Clinton’s behalf today.
Today’s Libya, as described above, is the direct result of these actions.
Now: when will one or another of the intrepid, loaded-with-professionalism-and-integrity “journalists” covering Ms. Clinton ask her about it? Ask her to explain how the bombing which ousted qaddafi could take place without congressional authorization? Demand to know why she, as Secretary of State, did not speak up when it was happening? And whether she takes responsibility for what Libya has become?
Don’t count on it happening any time soon. Certainly not before election day.
===================================
There it is. From a decade ago. And there I am, even then, noticing the clear-as-glass bias being exhibited by our supposedly neutral media.
All I ask now, is that you compare what you just read to the media treatment being given to President Trump’s bombing of boats filled with illegal drugs – in an attempt to protect us from what, under the previous adminstration, was the years-long, completely out of control, transportation of these drugs into our country, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of our citizens.
Notice a difference?
It would be hard to overstate how sickening this media digrace is…or to make clearer why I do not trust most media anymore. Neither should you.
