Dear Readers.
I received a survey request (filled in below) from the Media Research Center (MRC). Initially I was expecting just another multiple choice form that misses many of the key issues of the day. Much to my delight, this one actually had, in addition to MRC's preferred topics, "other" as choices. And what was even more special, MRC provided a space in which to spell out the other choice(s).
Burned out naif that I am, I have my doubts they will actually read what I put in the boxes. I know, many of you think I must be crazy again for even trying. But yes, while I still breathe, I will always try.
FYI: I have another post in the works providing evidence that MRC may not be all that it tries to convince us it is. They know how to ask money from us to do more of what they want; but when it came to answering the knocks at their door so they might listen to us, it seemed that, time and again, nobody was home.
Should they show some gonads here and actually respond as one expects of normal, decent human beings, I will have no need to publish it.
But right now, let me urge you to try to do what I did as shown below. Maybe, just maybe, we will actually affect Brent Bozelle's thinking, and he'll begin to listen to us more instead of simply telling us what he thinks is important. If you would like to participate, drop me a line and I'll forward you the email. Or if you don't want to hear more about while they want you to do this for them, just click this link.

Americans have overall had a better life than subjects or citizens of other nations because they have been more free.
Stop your disinformation campaigns that aids the destruction of our liberties (as Pravda & Izvestia abetted the oppression of Soviet subjects). We know why many of you do so. We've heard it. It is your elitist view that it is only right that common Americans should have a better understanding of how bad other peoples have it.
That sort of "equality" helps no human being other than the monsters who have risen to rule their peoples.
a. MoreThis is really something you can do without too much trouble. So please consider doing something similar. The MRC may simply ignore what you fill in, but please recognize that
b. Same
c. Less
Not often we are asked for our opinions by any institution. Be sure to fill in those blanks. We are offered blank spaces to fill in so rarely, I'm inclined to think this was a mistake! Take advantage of the opportunity while yee may.
Why waste your time? The only real survey that counts is the one held on Election Day and apparently even though the people spoke loud and clear, the scum in Washington failed to hear!
Please explain why you feel the msm has become LESS liberal under hussein.
BTW, I chunk all surveys.
This one is not about elections. This one is about a watchdog institution that is riding herd on the original watchdog institution — our failed Fourth Estate. You know — the one that is behaving like the Pravda and Izvestia reborn.
As to it being a waste of time, yep, Pascal covered that.
Still, since it is only 7 questions, you are not expending much time.
And quite obviously, you like stating your opinion. This “survey” actually asks you to state your opinion. :D
Sorry, that’s a transcription error made by me. I wasn’t able to carry over the same format easily. It took me some time. If that’s the only error I made, thank the Lord.
Pascal’s version post has a highlighted dot at MORE liberal.
Put your own answers in. This blog post merely demonstrates how this is no survey like you have ever seen.
Isn’t the Media Research Center an ultra-leftist organization (read SOROS)?
No.1 all of the above
HECK NO ! Founded and run by William F. Buckley’s nephew, L.Brent Bozell. These are the good guys, totally on OUR side.
Freegards :)
No. This is Brent Bozelle’s, parent organization of Newsbusters and CNS.com.
You are thinking of the radicals at Media Matters.
The media has been acting this way because the liberals have infiltrated the highest levels
You don’t get hired by these places any more unless you agree politically
Same in academia, same in government bureaucracies, soon to be the same in the military (that’s why they pushed for openly gay military)
DADT was supposed to be a new policy. When they ‘repealed’ DADT it means it should go back to the old policy. But the old policy was pretty much the same - you can serve if you serve honorably and keep your sexual orientation private.
When they ‘repealed’ it, they went to a WHOLE NEW policy- which was openly gay people allowed.
This is how they get laws that would never pass on their own. They pass a law we can agree with (for example: no open gays in the military) then ‘repeal’ it to some whole new state that never existed before (openly gays allowed)
this is hard to explain so let me try again with an even more absurd example:
If you tried to pass a law saying “sex with animals allowed in the park” NO ONE would vote for it...
So you pas a law saying “no sex with animals in the park” which everyone agrees with
... then later you ‘repeal’ it and claim that the ‘repeal’ means “sex with animals allowed in the park”
I took a look, but because you have provide your name, email, etc. be prepared to be hounded by spam.
Yep. The Left’s Long March through our institutions began with infiltrating media first with old style progressives. After enough Progs were in place, then the began hiring radicals. I liken it to termites. The structure’s facade is still there, but it no longer is able to serve it’s original function.
Heck, when you register to comment at Newsbusters, you get on their mailing list too.
Want to know the best way to avoid too much spam? Never send them any donations that can be linked to your email accounts. Sending money will get you much more spam.
My bad.
I should have checked.
As penance, I will send in a contribution.
“The only real survey that counts is the one held on Election Day”
With rigged elections even that doesn’t count anymore.
No problem! I have been following that website for years, and the thought of having it connected to Soros is anathema to my being :)
All the best !
