Are politicians turning us against the media?

George Will is dry, boring, and brings nothing forward in a serious intellectual discussion. Thus a great candidate for a token conservative guest columnist for our nations leading newspapers.

Robert Novak is all of the above but he has the honor being a Bush bashing conservative, even better for our MSM to give credence to.

Now Cal Thomas is probably good model for conservative punditry.

And were you serious by mentioning C-SPAN as benefiting conservatism? I think a channel running the Emergency Broadcasting System at 2 in the morning gets better ratings. And how would one even go about incorporating leftist bias into non-narative video feeds of Senate/House committees and then airing calls from viewers from Repub, Dem, and Indepedent one at a time??

Your website has absolutely no information on the content of the book, so i have no idea what "facts" it uses as to what makes the media impartial. But judging from the topics listed, it isnt pretty.

The MSM has always been treasonous. From Douglas MacArthur to the Tet offensive to the See-BS scandel to Newsweak more recently. They will do anything to get more of our troops killed.

"Why are you on a conservative, pro America site? You would be better served by DU."

Huh? Have you replaced Jimbo as System Administrator, or just trying to chase people off what I guess you consider to be YOUR site: I'll match my real conservative credentials with you any day of the week pal. All I did was make funny about Brent's last name: nothing he ain't heard before I'm sure.

Now: what are you saying, otherwise?

Silly rabbit, you're just trying to peddle the lie that the partisan media is impartial.

In fact, the elite media (terms: the NYT, the Post, the LAT, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and possibly NPR) is an instrument of agitation and propaganda for the Democratic Party. Period. You cite a few token conservatives. That proves nothing. When 85 to 90 percent of the journalistic community votes for Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and John Kerry, I know where their political leanings are.

Let's face it, CBS deliberately and with malice aforethought attempted to swing the election to John Kerry with fraudulent documents last year. Now, Newsweek is trying to damage the Administration with an unsourced story about Koran desecration.

These outlets do this because they are have a predisposition to criticize all things Republican, Conservative, and military.

Please don't try to snow the snowman.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Right, that was hilarious. Dissing a good man sure is funny alright, I just missed the humor in putting someone down.

I'll attack the messanger. Crawford is not a objective professional journalist. Like George Stephonopolos, Chris Matthews, and Bill Moyers he is a former LIBERAL DEMOCRAT POLITICO turned "Journalist".

Here is Craig Crawford's background:

"Crawford arrived in Washington in 1989 as a reporter for the Orlando Sentinel. He was the newspaper’s Washington bureau chief from 1989 to 1997. Before becoming a journalist, he served in 1984 as the Alabama State Field Director for the John Glenn presidential primary campaign, and the Georgia State Field Director for the Mondale/Ferraro general election campaign.

He practiced law in Orlando until 1984 and, although no longer practicing, is still a licensed attorney in the Florida Bar.

Crawford’s first experience in Washington began as a high school student, when he served as a page in the U.S. Senate during the Watergate scandal. Later, while a college student, he worked as a staffer in the White House Press Office during President Jimmy Carter’s Administration."
