And you Sir, are exactly right. The supposedly “Fourth Estate” media are, in fact, the Fifth Column in America. Until they are dealth with, nothing else will change.

I have been trying to get people to face this fact. This is the thing we all need to be focusing on, pretty much everything else is just a distraction. The media is the central juxtaposition of virtually all of our current problems.

We must destroy the existing media. Till we do this, we can't fix anything. The Media are the lynchpin of American elections, and they are firmly against us.

Media Delenda est!

Ramadi falls. The Iraqi army flees. The great 60-nation anti-Islamic State coalition so grandly proclaimed by the Obama administration is nowhere to be seen. Instead, it's the defense minister of Iran who flies into Baghdad, an unsubtle demonstration of who's in charge -- while the U.S. air campaign proves futile and America's alleged strategy for combating the Islamic State is in freefall. It gets worse. The Gulf states' top leaders, betrayed and bitter, ostentatiously boycott President Obama's failed Camp David summit... Following six years of President Obama's steady and determined withdrawal from the Middle East, America's standing in the region has collapsed. And yet the question incessantly asked of the various presidential candidates is not about that. It's a retrospective hypothetical: Would you have invaded Iraq in 2003 if you had known then what we know now?

Thanks PROCON.

Dead my @$$. They swung the last two elections. No, they are a long ways from dead. They may be dying, but they're a long ways from dead.
