WND: OPERATION SPIKE Top 10 major media cover-ups of 2013

WND’s annual review presents news that wasn’t ‘fit to print’
 In an administration known for its dissembling, deciding which lies are its biggest is a challenge.
But as health care takes center stage in the run-up to the 2014 mid-term elections, the many lies that were used, with the aid of a compliant media, to convince the nation that the passage of Obamacare presented nothing to worry about top WND’s annual list of the 10 most “spiked” or underreported stories of the last year.
At the end of each year, many news organizations typically present their retrospective replays of what they consider to have been the top news stories of the previous 12 months. WND’s editors, however, long have considered it more newsworthy to publicize the most underreported or unreported news events of the year – to shine a spotlight on those issues that the establishment media successfully “spiked.”
WND Editor and CEO Joseph Farah has sponsored “Operation Spike” every year since 1988, and since founding WND in May 1997, has continued the annual tradition.
Produced with the help of WND readers, here are the WND editors’ picks for the 10 most under-reported or unreported stories of 2013:

 1. The lies by Obama, Sebelius, Reid, Pelosi and others concerning Obamacare
Before President Obama’s so-called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was rammed through Congress and signed by the president March 12, 2010, 85 percent of Americans had health-care coverage. Further, an ABC News/Kaiser Family Foundation/USA Today survey found that 88 percent of the insured rated their coverage as excellent or good and 89 percent were satisfied with the quality of care they received.
2. The purging of top military leaders
An in-depth series of WND reports found that as many as 200 senior officers have been dismissed since Obama became president.
3. Concentration of executive power to bypass Congress
At a House Judiciary subcommittee meeting in December, liberal Georgetown law professor Jonathan Turley warned America that the concentration of executive branch powers is approaching a crisis under Obama  
4. Persecution of Christians around the world
A survey in 2010 concluded that at least 75 percent of religious persecution reported over the previous two years worldwide targeted Christians.

5. The IRS targeting of conservative non-profits
Matt Drudge, creator of the highly influential Drudge Report, summarized the establishment media’s response this year to the   IRS targeting of conservative and Christian organizations  .
“Journos ‘scared sh**less’ to mention IRS scandal,” Drudge wrote in a Twitter message Dec. 30.


6. True level of deception and untruthfulness in Obama administration
On the first full day of his presidency in 2008, Barack Obama declared: “Let me say it as simply as I can, transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.”
Nearly five years later, polls find a majority of Americans don’t trust him.

One of his most recent untruths was uttered at his last press conference of the year.

7. Cover-up of the Benghazi attack and false testimony by Hillary Clinton
The key to understanding the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi attack is rooted in WND’s exclusive reporting   that the U.S. mission in Benghazi and nearby CIA annex was an intelligence and planning center for U.S. aid to the rebels in the Middle East, particularly those fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

8. The “Knockout Game” and other black attacks on whites
Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse.
Finally, after scores of reports by WND about the problem, Fox News launched a full-frontal assault in November on the shocking phenomenon   its own analysts said is intentionally suppressed by national news media.


9. The racial division created by the Obama administration.
Within hours of the February 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin, the Obama administration helped shape the media narrative that turned American Latino George Zimmerman, who was acquitted by a jury in July, into a white man bent on killing innocent blacks out of racially inspired hatred.

10. Advancement of the Cloward-Piven Strategy of Organized Crisis
Frances Fox Piven, co-architect of a strategy to overload the U.S. welfare system to precipitate a transformative economic crisis, was an early builder of the socialist-leaning New Party, which, according to reliable evidence, once had Barack Obama as a member  .
Piven, together with her late husband, activist and fellow Columbia professor Richard Cloward, developed the Cloward-Piven strategy, which called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system.
