We have no “Fourth Estate” media that that acts as the watchdog of the Republic. Rather, they have become the paid for and politically joined at the hip propagandists of the Left.

IMHO, that is the biggest problem we have today (and I big reason I post this thread week after week, year after year. Just be being around these press people, I know their obvious and extreme biases, their deliberate misleading tactics, the blatant omissions of what is going on and worthy of at least a few minutes of discussion, and their palpable, evident cheerleading of democrats and clear disdain of conservatives.)

Nixon had Woodward and Bernstein.

Reagan had Sam Donaldson’s constant screaming at the helicopter.

Clinton had it’s only about sex, a private matter.

Bush had the NYT’s 63 straight days of Abu Grahb on the front page.

Obama has Goebbels and Pravda.

You don’t have to tell me. I worked there for almost two decades. I still have the basic tools to unravel the IRS email lie in maybe three articles, but I was “transferred” (and eventually put out to pasture) long ago because no one wanted those kinds of things unraveled.

They are propagandists, everything you say about them is correct. Just as money-in-politics is an obstacle, so too is the State media an obstacle for us.

A higher level of creativity will be required.

This has always been the case. The communists handmaidens at CNN, ABC, NYT, etc. have given Pulitzer prizes to their favorites who lie with aplomb. 1932 Walter Duranty.

The very good news as Rush mentioned this pas week is that the communists handmaidens monopoly in information is over, Now the Rats are in full light, backed into a corner and are even more vicious
