Not sure making the Media the brunt of a political campaign will do anything more than give them more fuel for the liberal fire that already burns there.
The Media is left wing and biased, not much anyone can do about that except continue to let them cut their own throats. It has just about killed the NYT and Wapo, an MSNBC is a joke. The papers show the bias of their owners:expecting any different this late in the game is a joke.
There is about as much of a chance of this happening as us seeing our former "Compassionate Conservative" RINO President (Boosh) coming out and defending his record (the good parts) and taking O'Bummer to task for his illegal and Unconstitutional agenda.
First of all, Mittens would have to take his gonads out of where most Republi-tards keep them; securely hidden under lock and key in some storage area.
He/they are petrified of the Lame Stream Media and as far as I know, Newt is one of the few who has dared challenge the media. The rest (and that includes the Weeper of the House and the limp-wristed Mitch McConnell) think that if they stay quiet, the corrupt, biased, media will somehow be "nice" to them or conversely, not be so mean as usual.
They are ALL soooo stoopid and never learn from their mistakes or hitoire.
The media (as we witnessed in 08 with Juan McLame) help choose our candidate (the same as they just did with Mittens) and as soon as they are the presumptive nominee, begin an unrelenting effort to destroy them as they work diligently to help "their" choice (Dear Leader or any other Demo-Rat/Lib/Progressive/Socialist/Commie, but I repeat myself) get re/elected.
Wake up all ye Pubes and smell the deception, deceit and dishonor being perpetrated by the media and quit acting like a bunch of spineless, girly-guy, wusses.
Sadly, it appears that our women (Palin, Bachman, et al) have a bigger "pair" then our men do.
It’s both culture and conspiracy.
I liked Gingrich and was for him after Perry dropped out, but he has dropped in my esteem because he is too self-centered and grudge holding to endorse Romney.
Romney is our candidate. If Gingrich cares for the country as he claimed to do when he was running, he should immediately and enthusiastically endorse Mitt Romney.
Agreed!
Romney would be well-advised to POUND the liberal media and make these attacks a centerpiece of his campaign. The media WILL fight back, of course, but in doing so they will provide more ammunition for later attacks.
I find it amazing that the press will zap Romney for some alleged high-school bullying incident, then conveniently forget to ask about Obummer’s missing high-school records?
The press has dirty hands and they can’t possibly win this. Sting ‘em hard!
Willard ain’t got the stones.
He should quote the statement about five years ago by Washington Post editor Marie Arana who said, "The elephant in the newsroom is our narrowness.... If you work here, you must be one of us. You must be liberal, progressive, a Democrat. I've been in communal gatherings at the Post, watching election returns, and have been flabbergasted to see my colleagues cheer unabashedly for the Democratic candidates." And he should challenge them to report the stories they now bury, especially about Obama's past.Part of the problem is that we don’t even name the name of our opponent. “Media” are ways of receiving other people’s stories or opinions. Things like TV sets or broadcasting towers, or movies, that sort of thing. And while fictional TV shows and movies certainly have their leftist tendencies, it is IMHO impossible to censor fiction in any principled way.
It is my settled opinion that the problem is not the communications media, it is the monopoly of journalism which inheres in wire services. It is said that “Drink makes a man more so.” Loosens the inhibitions, allowing Freudian slips to emerge. Well, wire services have the same effect on journalists. People become journalists because they lust for power and influence - they “want to make a difference,” they want to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” Wire services - the Associated Press, principally, but even if the AP has competition somewhere, that would still be a distinction without a difference - have the effect of bringing the incentives of journalism to the fore.The need/desire for attention and influence are reflected in the well-known rules of journalism, “If it bleeds, it leads,” “Man Bites Dog, not Dog Bites Man,” “Always meet your deadline - there’s nothing more worthless than yesterday’s newspaper.” Those rules make perfect sense for a newspaper as a business matter, but have nothing to do with "the public interest.” They relate only to interesting the public, which is quite a different thing. Stories that get picked up and repeated over “the wire” satisfy the editors of the newspaper as meeting the criteria for interesting the public, and we are solemnly assured that those rules reflect the public interest and are “objective.” Those rules do in fact systematically emphasize the superficial and the negative. Negative superficiality is cynicism, and cynicism is the opposite of conservative.
I’m afraid “Romney” and “backbone” sound silly in the same sentence.
