The Big Bad Wolf - the American Press and How to Deal With It

It is the American Media – no doubt about it, that has a liberal slant when reporting on issues. The question that conservatives fail to ask is – “How do we deal with the media?”. We can try to boycott ALL outlets for one…but history shows that any type of boycott will not work, or at least seldom does. Read more...

Ignore them...

“How do we deal with the media?”

You can't.

Next question...

[P-Marlowe]

How do we deal with the media?

If it weren't such a horrible investment, we could start up a fund to buy it.

[P-Marlowe]

What would it cost to do a leveraged buyout of the NY Times, the LA Times and the Washington Post? Or maybe buy out the Associated Press and then fire all the reporters?

[mdmathis6]

It’s only a horrible investment because they produce a horrible product, the DAILY NEWS in NYC is an example of a more balanced product that is profitable and makes money.

I’ll buy newspapers again when they stop being propaganda rags!

[skeeter]

Republicans should simply refuse to accept the premise laid out by reporters and instead use the microphone to give the message THEY want given. Like Palin did in her debate.

The reporter wants to talk about greedy bankers, talk about social engineering gone crazy. When they ask for comment concerning republican corruption, point out examples of democrat corruption. Do it EVERY time the reporters seeks comment.

Our leaders should deal promptly and effectively with problems in our own house, but they do not have to dance to the MSM's tune.

yes you can. but you must have a structured plan in which individual
anchors and reporters are personally embarrassed. they must be destroyed
the same way they destroy others. radio outlets and internet are about
our only venue but that could be enough. info must be true. and
believe me, there is enough about most of these people to get them back
in line.

[P-Marlowe]

It’s only a horrible investment because they produce a horrible product,

If you bought the company then you could control the content.

[GOP Poet]

You got that right skeeter!

[AFreeBird]

We could ban the free press, but then again there’s that pesky 1st amendment we have to deal with. Then I suppose we could use the same argument the libs use against unrestricted gun ownership: licensing, registration and training. After all, the founders could have never envisioned fully automatic, instantaneous, edited, audio/visual communications anywhere on the planet, put out by corrupt, unethical talking heads - PRESSTITUTES!

[skeeter]

Trouble is, there always seems to be someone on our side wanting to ingratiate themselves with the press. Once identified, the press will go to them for comment every time.

[GOP Poet]

You got that right, too. :-D. Much of course to my dismay. There is a sucker born every minute and the darn media knows just who they are if they are Republican.

[Old Sarge]

Crock.

Conservatives don’t destroy people. The Left does.

Just like all these super-Rambo’s who say they’ll buy ammo and open carry and want to fight “Civil War 2”. Not a single one of them will EVER draw on another American.

And not a single Leftist will ever be “destroyed”.

[coydog]

Then you have to ostracize them. It’s as simple as that.

[I_hate_politicians]

Why try to salvage them? Drive them out of business. Cut off the supply of money that keeps them in business. That supply comes from us. Target their advertisers. A percentage of every dollar we spend may go back to them as advertising revenue. It doesn’t have to if we spend wisely.

[Paperdoll]

The American Press, and the general news media, no longer bear a vestige of the truth. Rather than reporting news, they express formerly forbidden bias bigtime. America is not being served fairly or accurately anymore, and I just wonder how many people do not realize that.

The only way to deal with the media is to prosecute it's heads and anchors for fraud and slander, and jail or impoverish those individuals as penalties for guilty verdicts. Make them fear the printed lie. The left uses the courts to break the right. We could easily do the same to the left’s main implement, MSM, with the proper leadership in Washington. Of course, that would require proper candidates, and a public fed up enough to recognize them. I won't hold my breath.
