Scarborough To Republicans: 'Stop Blaming The Media'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/08/2012 4:48:17 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Should Republicans unilaterally disarm in the media-bias wars? Joe Scarborough apparently thinks so. Arguing that it distracts Republicans from performing the political blocking-and-tackling needed to win elections, Scarborough has called on Republicans to "stop blaming the media."

Saying "let's makes this personal," Scarborough cited as an example of the supposed distractions to which he was referring the controversy over the tape Morning Joe aired in September from a Romney campaign stop. Readers will recall that the clip seemed to show Romney asking the crowd, which had been chanting "Romney!", to change to "Romney/Ryan." But Scarborough suggested just the opposite: that the crowd had been chanting "Ryan!" and that Romney asked them to change to "Romney/Ryan."

One Republican to Scarborough: Then you stop cooperating with the media coverups of the murder of our ambassador, the illegal purchase of guns that killed Americans, and STOP the Stepnfetchit routine on behalf of the president and the attorney general of the United States of America.

With Republicans like Joe, who needs Democrats? Scarborough IS the problem.
I see no reason to ‘change’ my world view just because I’m outnumbered by a bunch of looters (including Warren Buffett) and moochers (Peggy Joseph).
I plan to get my ‘revenge’ by living well and avoid any government entanglement.

just don’t watch the programs/channels that pander to all things left....there are a few out there, learn to be a selective consumer.

That doesn't make a difference...anyone that has cable is paying the salaries of Maher, Matthews, Maddow, and the rest. It's really that simple. 'The Glass Teat', indeed.

No cable (for me)= no communication.

Sun Tsu in the art of war would tell you to know thy enemy. I do selectively purchase things if a manufacturer sends money to ‘the enemy’. A distributor is merely a conduit. And I have to be selective about what restrictions I put on distributors if they are the only source of what I need

The problem with your plan is that cable tv is bundled. If you buy the package you’re paying for MSDNC every bit as much as If you never watch it. The better solution is to keep the cable as an Internet provider only, cancel the tv part and watch tv shows via download services like iTunes, Netflix and Hulu. It actually saves money, in fact.

The GOP cannot win by running a liberal candidate for president. Romney was doomed from the start. That's one truth that we need to learn.

Here's another painful truth. If it was January 2016 right now (with memories of 2012 still fresh in everyone's minds), Karl Rove could pick another liberal and have him nominated by August 2016. Worse, he could get good conservatives to believe in late October 2016 that the future of mankind requires the election of his liberal candidate. Then, the candidate would of course lose. But, Rove would be richer.

That, in a nutshell, is our problem. How many times must we relive this nightmare?

Watch nearly every TV series ever made for free if you have broadband internet:

Stop lining the pockets of the media that is cheerleading for the left.

I have cable - INTERNET cable. Not television cable.

Maybe you should consider switching providers?

the town allowed only 1 provider to tack onto our pole. When Verizon wanted to supply us with their fiber optic product...the town, with a sweetheart contract with Cablevision....told them....OK as long as you can do the whole town (huge town) in 6 months....or no deal.

they knew it would take 2-3 years to fiber optic the whole town.....so Verizon pulled back. We have 1 provider. I bundle with them as they supply all 3 services (internet, Phone and Cable TV) for less than I can get the 3 separate and I cant get all three separate....

I can get telephone from Verizon low tech, 2 wire system...just a plain phone, I can get satellite tv, but I can only get high speed internet from the one local cable supplier.
