The ongoing American tragedy is the ability of Democrat-controlled media to hide truth from the American people and blow insignificant and immaterial events into concerns so grave as to plummet the poll numbers of an exceptional presidency below 40 percent. This is a significant tragedy few in America are aware of. If the "truth will set you free", Democrats have incarcerated the American public in propaganda so devastating that rather than win a war, they are slowly becoming surrender advocates.
A famous and a recent Democrat candidate for the vice presidency of the United States, Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, wrote an article essentially telling the American people that Democrats have been lying about the progress of the American troops in Iraq and imploring them not to believe the media's omissions of that progress and not to abandon the "27 million Iraqi for 10,000 terrorists". Other than the Wall Street Journal editorial, not one major media outlet, newspaper or TV, has reported this important news event; a criminal omission.
The Weekly Standard reported that the entire Valerie Plame/Joe Wilson CIA leak case was orchestrated by Democrat CIA bureaucrats. A scandal so serious, it strikes at the very core of our democracy. The report states that many CIA leaks are designed specifically to undermine the confidence of the American people in the Bush Administration and because the CIA and most agencies in Washington are so overwhelmingly infested with Democrat Party partisans the public is deceived into believing the bureaucratic leaks, lies and propaganda disseminated by their Democrat-controlled media.
The right-wing blogs are the only resort America has for truth and an American perspective. Even Fox and their lead commentator, Bill O'Reilly, didn't comment or interview more than one Swift Boat Veteran and then dissed all 264 of them. He presently is pressing the Administration for withdrawal plans from Iraq when such disclosure would aid the enemy. The effectiveness of Sean Hannity is often blunted by the inane Democrat talking points of Alan Colmes. The direction of that company is being subverted by the majority of its staff which are Democrats.
So we continue to drive blind in America. The smokescreen is so thick and pervasive it boggles the mind. How can a country, so steeped in freedom, be captured by the lies, deceits and omissions of such a ruthless and criminal element? A party so corrupt they sacrifice truth in exchange for their return to power.
A party who would leave Iraq prematurely and risk America's safety for political gain; a truly sad condition in which America finds itself today. And it doesn't matter what Joe Lieberman says, you won't hear about it. You will hear more trash from the CIA leaked to their allies in the media to fill the airwaves and columns with mindless and unimportant minutiae.
Enough said.
The MSM is the enemy within ... they are a FAR more insidious and dangerous enemy that Al Quida ever thought of being ... and IMO they should be treated as such
Finally! Someone is saying it ..The DemocRATS will say and do ANYTHING including lie, cheat steal and commit murder to stay in power...ambition has overtaken all integrity..
The MSM is slip slidin away......a little more each year
all is not lost.
What a totally foolish and nonsensical statement- If you are capable of discerning bias in something you read then you can intellectually challenge the conclusion and rationale'.
I agree with everything in this article, but the real question in my mind is why the Bush administration has been so weak in the face of all this. Either they've refused to defend themselves, or have actively gone along with the Democrats, as in the Plame case. I can't think of any good reasons why this should be.
Truth is not their friend - on any issue, not just this war.
Thanks for posting this! Great article IMHO!
I agree with you 100%.
Their lack of understanding of and appreciation for the profit motive will be their undoing: the left-wing media is cannibalizing itself.
Good article, and that is definitely the money quote.
Not that I follow or put a lot of stock in polls, but if the media weren't so against President Bush, his numbers would definitely be higher. (I know, I'm Capt. Obvious here.)
The WH and President Bush could definitely do a better job on defense, though.
I still wonder if it's the "Democrat controlled media" or the "Media controlled Democrats" Md4Bush comes to mind.
Take a look at a one year picture of Times Mirror stock. They are getting hammered.
I have no problem with people remembering their heritage and celebrating the good things of the old country but hyphenated loyalty is divided loyalty.And the same for hyphenated marriages.

I long for the old days when the Pubbies agreed with FDR and Truman. When EVERYONE was on the same side UNITED,and determined to win a war - regardless of party affiliation! Why can't the Dems understand what's at stake today?
The young punks who are demonstrating for "peace" today will be fighting the enemy on Main Street, USA tomorrow. And they're too stupid to see it. God help us.
Not surprising when one considers that they have a HISTORY of doing just that.
If the media propagandized for war as strongly as they now propagandize against it, the American public would look like those crowds of Nazis saluting Hitler. It is amazing that the country is able to have any support for its national interest in the face of the negative onslaught.
