TUCKER CARLSON AND NEIL PATEL: Wave goodbye to the Obama media

By tomorrow night well likely know the name of the next president. But we already know the loser in this election cycle: political reporters. Theyve disgraced themselves. Conservatives have long complained about liberal bias in the media, and with some justification. But it has finally reached the tipping point. Not in our lifetimes have so many in the press dropped the pretense of objectivity in order to help a political candidate. The media are rooting for Barack Obama. Theyre not hiding it.
Consider Benghazi. An American consulate is destroyed and a US ambassador murdered at a time when the president is boasting at every campaign stop that he has crushed al-Qaida. In an effort not to disrupt this narrative, the White House and the Obama campaign spend weeks claiming the incident was merely a protest over a video, rather than a real terror attack. Then intelligence surfaces showing just the opposite: The killers in Benghazi were no street mob, and Obama knew as much from the beginning.
...
Through their dishonesty the legacy media hastened their own end. Their moral authority has evaporated. So has their business model. Wave them goodbye on the way out.

Nope that happened in 2008. It’s been Orwellian since.

Tucker is too optimistic. Some Ukrainians were still reading Pravda while they ate their own children to survive. Obama’s media machine will take a hit tomorrow, but they’re not going to disappear.

Middle America doesn’t recognize the media’s dishonesty or care. In four years all of ABC, CBC, NBC, Associated Press, Reuters, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, PBS, CPB, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Yahoo, BBC, APF will all be just as active and widespread as they are today. Every radio station now carrying their wire feeds will still be carrying their wire feeds and announcing their propaganda, every hour on the hour. Every local newspaper will still be carrying AP feeds. Every local television outlet will still be carrying network propaganda in local form at 5:30 and national form at 6:00.
Until we fix this, we will continue to have the next generations of Reid, Pelosi, and Obama running the country.

Wave goodbye to the Obama media The only thing likely to change is that instead of protecting Obama, they'll attack Romney 24/7.

When unemployment hits 40% and the country’s as broke as Greece - I’ll blame CBS’s 60 Minutes and the suck up boys of the New York Times. I will NEVER watch CBS again.

Obamas media machine will take a hit tomorrow, but theyre not going to disappear.
You know Newsweek essentially goes out of business in January, right?
The financial spreadsheets at newspapers and other MSM outlets are cratering. They placed all their bets on Barry and getting some form of bailout in a second term (at the very least a law forcing you to pay for news on the web). Tuesday marks the beginning of their Going Out of Business Sale.
I am SO looking forward to Maureen Dowd taking my order at the drive-thru...

You're wrong on this issue - every year Americans trust the media less than the year before - every year for years ...
Journalists are aware of the trend - we're aware of the trend. Subscriptions are down, trust in network news is down, CNN's numbers are down...news magazine subscriptions are down. The trend in clear and accelerating. There are not enough liberal elites to keep the publishing industry afloat.
Idiot editors of the MSM assume their little newsrooms - and they themselves - are king makers. They've turned their backs on the people who support them - they don't care if they earn the respect and trust of their readers or viewers. That's not grand enough.
Must be interesting to destroy an industry for the sake of an ego trips - and have publishers so intimidated they allow it to happen. Someone will write a book on it someday... I hope they name names...

At what point if at all has Obama stopped boasting that al-Qaida has been crushed since the Benghazi attack on the US Embassy.

In the last 4 years the alternative/new media/social media media has given the old main stream media a run for it's money.
What needs to be done is some conservative billionaires join together and start up their own force of conservative networks/news papers/ alternative Hollywood version of a conservative film industry.

The New York Times is also feeling the pinch of hard economic times... or ? is it bad management ? or just being stupid liberal ?
Alex ? I take all of the above for $ 200.

Well, they can outsource their product, MSM outlets, Networks, News Papers overseas and set up shop in China.
The government there is very in tune with that the spew and it's cheaper there for them... hint hint wink wink kind of sarcasm.
Hey Crissy Mathews ? Maureen Dowd ? Brain Williams ? Katie ? Andria ? I heard that there are plenty of job openings in China who are looking for Commie Propagandist with plenty of experience.....
To: GOPJ
It’s no fluke, accident that the all time trust of the MSM is at a all time low of 60 % distrust of the MSM..... Congress has got even a worse rating.

The collectivist media won’t go away. They’ll increase their intensity.
There are enough intellectual slaves who will continue to support them.
