OBAMA'S MEDIA ALLIES IN RETREAT: UNABLE TO DEFEND BAIN ATTACKS, THEY EMBRACE 'TRUTHINESS' - Joel B. Pollak/Breitbart

Remember "truthiness"? The Word of the Year 2006 that the left and the mainstream media used to attack President George W. Bush and his alleged dishonesty over weapons of mass destruction and just about everything else? Now the shoe is on the other foot--and President Barack Obama's lies are both willful and real. His attacks on Republican rival Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital have been exposed as malicious lies. So some of Obama's media allies, unable to defend his tactics, are questioning the notion of objective truth itself.
