More evidence that they’ve been told point-blank that their careers and lives depend on them not being critical of Obama.

It’s been a while since I looked at it, but I looked at Media Matters’ responses to how Fox dealt with those who have questioned Obama’s eligibility; even if Fox slobbered all over themselves to smear people with questions and slavishly gave all the “right” disclaimers when responding to Trump (for instance), Media Matters claimed that that Fox was never vocal enough in denouncing the issue. It’s like Media Matters is the “minder” who always rides Fox to let them know that the mafia is just a step behind them and watching their every move.

Seems like Ailes has gone into full bend-over mode for Obama now. Disgusting. That’s probably what Glenn Beck was responding to in creating a media outlet that he says will allow the truth to come out, even when there are “sacred cows” trying to block it.

I’m disgusted with ESPN and Fox both now, as well as the usual suspects who are slavish dhimmis. Knowing what they are about ruins everything they touch.

It was hard enough watching the Huskers get whipped by a really good Wisconsin football team Saturday (congrats to all the Wisconsin fans; your team played very well!). But having to see it on ESPN made it even worse. I already was disgusted with ESPN for their bowing to Obama and silencing anybody who didn’t agree, and with blocking other Husker games from being seen by people who had subscribed to particular cable bundles expressly to see the Husker games. And then in the Wisconsin game ESPN didn’t show replays so we could examine the penalty calls or calls being reviewed, didn’t explain the strategies and tactics that were going on in the field, etc. It was like they were just too lazy to do anything cerebral about the game, just wanted to blow hard about how great this was or how awful that was. Like it was all mindless blather about opinions and nothing factual or intelligent about the actual game being played. Characteristic of what all the media people have become in their politics, and that laziness filters into how they do other things too.

As Popeye would say, I am disgustipated.

They don’t have any idea how embarrassing it is for them to have a guest on from our side who gives an opinion.

Many times the dem refuses to come on FOX, so they have their host argue for the dems who refuse to come on and debate.

It is actually quite unfair and unbalanced because it is supposedly fair and balanced.

With FOX, I think it is always better for an entity to have an opinion(like Pro America) rather than no opinion.

I can’t see marxism as an American idea, and to have it treated in the news as an everyday thing as though what is happening is “politics as usual”, has always blown my mind.
