The mainstream media has been pro socialism from the 20’s.

I’ve often heard conservative and Republican operatives complain, “If the mainstream media would only cover the issue fairly . . .” My advice? Don’t hold your breath.

Amen, bro.

As much as I love talk radio, I get sick of hearing my favorite hosts get their panties all wadded up over something that was said by some idiot on some idiot cable news show or by some idiot in some idiot newspaper.

Mock them, yes. But to get "outraged" and demand some sort of retraction or apology, forget it.

Also, I am sick of hearing "If this had happened under a (insert name of Repulbican here)"....

Screw that.

We have to stop reliving the last war.

It would better serve us if we would say something along the lines of, "Okay. I look FORWARD to President Palin using The IRS as a weapon against Liberal groups...." Or, "Then I guess you'll be okay when Secretary of State Cruz blames the death of an American ambassador on a video and sends Ambassador Limbaugh out to lie about it on the weekend news shows...."

We can't change the past, but if we can get people to see what the future might hold, at least then we might actually have a chance to change what's coming.

Might.

The debate is over, the facts are settled.

The media isn’t just biased to the Left, it’s actively partisan to the Left.

Maybe someone could write a program to write news articles based on actual newsworthiness. For instance, protests would be covered by the amount of actual protesters, so that a million pro lifers would get front web page coverage, whereas 2 anti Koch hippies would not even get a mention.

The debate contrasting big vs small government is based upon a flawed premise that we should not accept.

The real debate should occur over positive liberty vs negative liberty. In other words this should be about what the government can do to you vs what the government cannot do to you.

Anything else is meaningless.

The Republicans need to renounce the MSM at every opportunity and refuse to walk into its traps, like left-wing hosted debates. They need to remind the public continuously that the MSM IS the DNC’s mouthpiece.

Re: Fournier. All you have to do is watch him on TV. The self-righteousness of the inside the beltway liberal is readily apparent.

Sharyl Attkisson

I say this because of the supposed shift the author sees, then why was she leaving (forced out?) of CBS?

Journalism’s short deadlines make journalism superficial, and journalism’s need to attract attention makes journalism negative.

Compound superficiality with negativity and you get cynicism. Which just happens to be an exact description of leftism.
