This is why the Left hates any competition to its stranglehold on the so-called “news” and the so-called “entertainment” industry.

Ferguson returning to normal isn’t bringing in the ratings for CNN so they’re stirring the pot by issuing a APB hashtag for Wilson. Even though they admit he’s in hiding because of death threats. Evil doesn’t cover what they’re doing to him.

They haven’t given up.. they’re just searching for the next myth.

Why do liberals push the myth that America is so racist, and that there is a war on black men, and that there are innocent black men being gunned down in the street by racist white cops? Where did this myth come from? Why do liberals push it?

Why did they push it in this case, after Trayvon Martin blew up in their faces???

And why do they have nothing to say about the real war on black men, which is fought in the ghetto everyday? Why don’t they ever report on all the black men killed by other black men with guns????

‘This is why the Left hates any competition to its stranglehold on the so-called “news” and the so-called “entertainment” industry.’

Yes. Control the flow of information, you control the country. The left has had a virtual control on the flow of information for decades. Reagan was an anomaly, first, because the media did not think he could win; second, because he connected so well with the American people, he could go around the media.

I have been saying what Rush said for a long time, but it took the Republican revolution of 1994 to teach it to me, especially the way the media came down on the conservatives after the election.

Because if the myth is shown to be false, they lose control of a significant part of their base voting block.

The media WANT strife, conflict, fighting and blood in the streets. They love it. For them it means that the ‘oppressed’ underclass is finally rising up against their ‘oppressors’, throwing off the shackles of capitalism, and ushering in a new era of communist paradise.
Yes.

the next step for the left will be to start posting and showing a cop who has done something wrong .

They have to keep the narrative up otherwise they have nothing, just like the Dems have nothing to run on without this.

It's the story of the alternative media. It's the story of talk radio destroying the monopoly of the Drive-By Media. They no longer get to dictate what is the news.

Hey Rush. You need to check out that other emerging technology that threatens to become at least a minor player in the "alternative media". It's called the INTERNET. Catchy name isn't it?

Just kidding of course. I love Rush. But sometimes he gives himself a little more credit than perhaps I would. OTOH, I think FR should be given all the credit for turning this "myth" around. We did it right here. All by ourselves.

We report. You decide.

Rush deserves to give himself credit — the reality is, he led the way for ALL conservative/alternative media. Even this one.

You would think they would be cautious by now. When have they ever been right? When will people protest in support a decent person? Why do they see the need to stand up for criminals and trash?

The narrative got out of hand when the Ferguson Police Chief didn’t come out early with Officer Wilson’s report on the incident immediately followed up by the hospital report of his injuries and the police report and video of Brown stealing the cigars.

There was an information vacuum and the leftist media rushed in to fill it with the myth.

I got railed by my “Christian Brother” in 2009 for not supporting BHO.

He said Jeff Davis would approve.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

When Trayvon Martin blew up in their faces, they fell back to their habit of rewriting history. Together with the media, the race baiters will repeat endlessly the original mythos, they will bury the truth and call anyone who references the truth a racists. It works. So, they can “afford” to fall silent as Ferguson blows up because they have the schools, media etc. to work the long term strategy of rewriting it later; they are simply denied immediate gratification and will have to wait.

Nathan Bedford's first Maxim of American politics: all politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.
