If we made a show about these idiots, we could call it The Lying, Lame, Liberal-Licking Dead.

Picking on the mainstream media is easier than offending radical feminists, and almost as much fun, but just because it’s barely a challenge doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it. We should. We must.
All decent, patriotic Americans yearn for the day when the effects of emerging technologies combine with the mainstream media’s insufferable progressive cheerleading to finally destroy it. Its death throes are underway, but it won’t buy the farm overnight. The body of the mainstream media is still shambling along, wreaking havoc, long after it its brain has died. So we need to put down the mainstream media like we would any other mindless zombie.

In general, MSM members’ pain is our [conservatives] gain.
Remember, they hate us. Hate us. They don’t merely not care about us. They don’t simply misunderstand us. They hate what we think. They hate how we live. They hate what we believe. They hate us.
And it shouldn’t come as a shock if we hate them right back.

Leftists simply hate the fact we're still alive, and yearn for the day we all die at their hands.

So, do we really need to rehash the litany of the mainstream media’s recent follies, foibles and fiascos? Oh, hell yes.
We have NBC News paying talentless Parental Lotto champ Chelsea Clinton $600,000 a year to interview ferns. She does deserve some credit, though – she (has) yet to lie about her courage under fire like her fellow NBC newstool Brian Williams. And, for that matter, like her mother.
Great article. Fun read.
What we have to remember is that the leftist media can implode, but only to a point. They have a permanent niche to serve, and that would be those who crave constant affirmation for a demonstrably failed ideology. With leftism having been put into policy-and failing- and Hillary now on the scene, leftist believers have deeper wounds to salve.
We should be thankful that all they have left is their niche.
The 2010 and 2014 mid-terms are proof that the MSM may have lost its ability to persuade. They shilled for each and every state, local, and congressional dem, and lost decisively.
The MSM isn’t dying it is showing off it’s muscle by packaging Hitlery for victory”. The MSM runs the country.
How do you insult a liberal? Simple, just laugh at them. Not uncontrollably and loud, just subtly with head turning snickers and the occasional lip flapping spits while seemingly trying to keep it in.
I love having the local twits come to me with a camera in my face to ask stupid questions. I let them ask, make a very brief and informed answer and then tell them that was a very stupid question.
Their new album is a bore.
Very nice!
“...host the GOP debates, which he did carrying a cheat sheet full of Democrat talking points about such burning issues as the phantom campaign to ban birth control.”
The enemy, btw, knows, even if we don’t, how powerful birth control is in gaining more power over the masses
I like Joni Ernst’s approach.
When the Des Moines register demanded she walk into a trap set by their editorial board, she simply said “I’ll pass.”

Maybe it’s cruel to look at all these doomed liberals who worked their way up to the middle ranks of the media and laugh. Maybe it’s petty to smile when yet another newsroom announces yet another round of lay-offs. Maybe it’s just plain mean to point out that Newsweek sold for what I earned in under twenty minutes charbroiling Famous Star cheeseburgers at the Carl’s, Jr., in Foster City, California, back in 1981. Maybe I can help out these soon-to-be unemployed reporters with some hints about how to make fries.
Or not. I think I’d rather just suggest these losers kiss the kind of buns that don’t have sesame seeds.
Yes, we conservatives detest the mainstream media, and why not? At best, when it’s not actively libeling us, it merely condescends to us, treating normal Americans not as the people who built and defended the very country these parasites feed off of, but as some sort of weird mutation infesting the tiny portion of the country that isn’t New York City, Washington, Los Angeles or San Francisco.
It’s always a delight to watch some mainstream media reporter going out to get the pulse of America by having bacon and eggs with some regular folks in a diner in East Cowpie, Nebraska. These cultural anthropologists never seem to find the normal people that we see every day. No, they find the guy who thinks the Trilateral Commission caused his baldness, the 400-pound woman who wants the government to keep its mitts off her food stamps, and the dude in a John Deere cap who believes Obama is a secret Muslim.
Which is stupid, because Obama is a socialist atheist who only pretends to be religious to trick gullible Democrat voters. At least we hope so, since the alternative is that Obama actually believes that crap Jeremiah Wright was spewing.
So, do we really need to rehash the litany of the mainstream media’s recent follies, foibles and fiascos? Oh, hell yes.
We have NBC News paying talentless Parental Lotto champ Chelsea Clinton $600,000 a year to interview ferns. She does deserve some credit, though – she yet to lie about her courage under fire like her fellow NBC newstool Brian Williams. And, for that matter, like her mother.
We have ABC News hiring the Clintons’ tiny human dustpan George Stephanopoulos not as a commentator but as a “newsman,” and thereby lying twice in one word. Then ABC decided he should host the GOP debates, which he did carrying a cheat sheet full of Democrat talking points about such burning issues as the phantom campaign to ban birth control. And then ABC decided that the perfect guy to interview the painstakingly thorough gentleman whose book chronicles Hillary’s vast corruption was the same guy who is not only Hillary n’ Bill’s lil’ minion but who handed over $75K to their slush fund.
And when caught, the MSM doesn’t even bother to try to tell convincing lies anymore: “Oh, yeah, it sorta happened that I gave her money but I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it and I guess I … oh well, whatev. Uh, glass ceiling.”
Subjects of MSM utter disinterest include foreign potentates handing millions of dollars to the Secretary of State.
Subjects of MSM curiosity include what Scott Walker thinks of Adam and Eve.
Chatty Candy Crowley? Human Latino-meter Mark Halperin? What about that lying wench from Rolling Stone? How are we to ever again believe a positive review of a Mumford & Sons album?
No, members of the mainstream media are presumptively hacks, and the pain and misery they endure as their organizations convulse and die should inspire laughter and joy. Sure, there are honest reporters out there, but that’s only a fluke of statistics. There have to be some, if only because of the random vagaries of chance. They can get real jobs with the new media. But in general, MSM members’ pain is our gain.
Remember, they hate us. Hate us. They don’t merely not care about us. They don’t simply misunderstand us. They hate what we think. They hate how we live. They hate what we believe. They hate us.
And it shouldn’t come as a shock if we hate them right back. We normals have already started an unofficial, uncoordinated boycott of the mainstream media. I quit the L.A. Times a decade ago because I figured I’d rather read Pravda in the original Russian – and I don’t speak Russian. I must not have been the only one – when they called me to get me to re-up and I politely pointed out I’d rather twerk on broken glass than buy their commie rag, the guy on the other end read me a pre-written blurb on how the L.A. Times embraces a wide variety of political views. Sure it does – from wussy liberal all the way to full pinko.
The last time I saw an L.A. Times it was about the size of the takeout menu from an unambitious Chinese place. And less interesting.
So can the mainstream media ever re-earn our trust and, more importantly, our business? Nope. To mix a bunch of metaphors in a way today’s social justice-focused J-schools would inexcusably tolerate, the drones who make the MSM hum are simply too dedicated to their proggie agenda to avoid going down with the Lusitania that is the dinosaur media.
But you know what might get our attention? If some intrepid MSM reporter breaks through the phalanx, shoves a camera and mic into Hillary’s sour face, and asks Her Highness, “So, do you think the Democrat Party should have a nominee who enabled and covered for her sexual predator husband?”
Now that would be interesting – and precisely because it would be interesting, it will never, ever happen. Which is why the mainstream media is going to die. And which is why we conservatives will recycle our celebratory champagne on its grave.

Some of them will need to end up like Julius Streicher before this is all over.
“If we made a show about these idiots, we could call it The Lying, Lame, Liberal-Licking Dead.”
Don’t they already have that show? I believe it’s called, “The Amerikans.”
If we make a show? I’m convinced that a humorous show focused soley on the very funny so called journalists focused on promoting leftist agendas and the near total Blackout of real important news would be hilarious AND a huge ratings getter.
If I had the money I’d start a pilot, I know it would be an incredibly funny program about near morons actively promoting an agenda at the expense of providing any substantive news.
For instance, the news this morning was at the media excitement surrounding a gotcha question to Bush and RUbio. Meanwhile, 500 Iraqi’s were slaughtered and barely a wimper, oh, that’s right, that’s Bush’s war and let’s not focus on the human tragedy in Iraq or someone might believe we actually saved millions of lives thanks to Bush.
I guess this human tragedy isn’t in Africa or perhaps some “conservative” regime or it would really get some media focus.
Yep, the media is dying and will spout their progressive nonsense until their last breath, then hope for a government bailout.
Oh, more bias this morning, the non ending focus on 60 minutes and CBS this mornign on how we need to have the courage to raise taxes for infrastructure. NOT ON MEDIA QUESTION asking how the past trillions have been spent (wasted) or wondering if we have been diverting infrastructure funds to welfare programs - no, let’s not go there.
“How do you insult a liberal? Simple, just laugh at them. Not uncontrollably and loud, just subtly with head turning snickers and the occasional lip flapping spits while seemingly trying to keep it in.”
I humbly disagree. You laugh at them and laugh hard. And you make sure when you do there are people around you who share in your ridicule so they can laugh also. Alinsky said this was the left’s biggest fear. We need to use it more.
Something we haven’t been doing is boycotting sponsors. Liberals don’t buy anything. Conservatives are the consumers. That’s why our boycotts always get results while their boycotts quietly fade away after their epic fails.
Also something we are not very good at is litigation. Sue everyone and force the left to use their own money to defend. Without using other people’s money, they back off very quickly. Reagan taught us that to end Soviet dominance, we would have to spend them out of existence. Same thing applies here. Sue the ACLU. Sue Media Matters. Sue George Soros. Give them the same treatment they gave Sarah Palin.
Finally, take things off the front pages at the national level. Make everything local. Something about gay marriage? Keep it off the front pages. Abortion? Keep it off the front pages. Take the left’s tools away from them.
It’s about death by 1000 cuts. That’s how you beat the MSM and the left. It’s what Reagan did.
