Question for Freepers
Are Rush, Hannity, Levin, Beck, Drudge and Coulter part of the “Establishment Media”?
I do not understand why they dismiss and refuse to mention anything about Obama’s past or eligibility. They did not mention or report the eligibility case in Georgia.
They claim that everything Obama is doing to America is bad, yet they will not do or say anything that might help get rid of him.
Courter has gone off the deep end.
Hannity is a simpleton.
Drudge is a blogger, who posts links to stuff he likes.
Limbaugh and Levin are not part of the MSM, evidenced by how much time the MSM spends trashing/lying/distorting nearly everything thing they say and do.
Doesn’t sound like you’ve spent much time listening to Levin and Rush.
They may not stress fringe issues like GA ballot - because we were never going to win that - and there is no need anyway. Obama is terrible - there is no need to play a game that the remainder media will make us look stupid.
What do Rush, Hannity, Levin, Beck, Drudge and Coulter all have in common? A vested interest in the Kenyan Muslim getting a second term.
Because it means continued ad dollars, interview and face time, more book sales, and Web hits.
It’s about three things. Money. Money. Money.
Yes. No matter how embarrassing or outnumbered we are, the truth is the truth. Whether or not that’s beleived the court case in GA is newsworthy enough for a mention. My worst fear is though that our/their ability to talk about this is off limits by the power over them, ie their bosses. If that’s the case it just confirms another thing we all know to be true anyway: our press is NOT FREE. It is manipulated and controlled by unseen players and powers. I’m not going to fret about it, the truth can’t be suppressed and hidden forever and we still have the internet.
Rush is always letting the Republicans know what they need to do to go after 0bama.
Establishment media is sponsored by government-connected establishment business families with relatives in establishment government and the establishment NGOs that control it.

I've long since stopped listening to radio and watching tv. I do not pay any attention to any source of news whatsoever, because I stopped trusting them a long time ago.
They are worse than irrelevant, they are damaging.
The only way to truly stay on top of real events in the real world in the US and the abroad is to read foreign sources (Britain, for example), and collate sources online.
But as far as the people you mention, they seem to be behaving 'politically correct' in their reporting as it relates to the Imbecile in Chief. That's too bad.
See #2. Spot on.
none of them are establishment media. Freepers are going after Establishment elites. Those who have been in politics for a very long time, the upper power class who want to maintain the status quo. Coulter is part of that elite. Just listen to how she look down at others
Also....When was the last time you heard Rush discuss the case of some Christian losing a job because of the homosexual bullies?
By the way...Since I don't listen to Rush, has he discussed Obama forcing Catholic hospitals and agencies to provide insurance for abortion and contraceptives for their employees? Hm? ( Just wondering.)
It isn't what Rush reports on that is the problem. It is what he IGNORES that sets my teeth on edge.
Again Rush is a phony and a coward.
Every word in your post is spot on!
2008 did it for me. Fox is gone. Rush is gone and the rest of the talk show yappers. They are **completely** untrustworthy!
Black man... an impossible impeachment....racism ! in spades X 10. The creditability of the conservative movement would be crushed. We'd all be called wackos. Yes, we're considered wackos by many now, but this would set us back, given the sketchy evidence
Flame way, but that's my short answer.
He's not a phony. Rush has always stated that he is an entertainer. He is radio personality with a very good gig.
Rush picks his battles. If Romney, Heaven fore fend, is the “Republican” nominee, Rush plans not to have said anything that precludes his supporting voting for him in the general election.
He’s not a phony. Rush has always stated that he is an entertainer. He is radio personality with a very good gig.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Good point! He’s an entertainment personality.
That makes him completely untrustworthy with regard to defending conservatism or the Constitution.
Personally, I am completely done with him.
The point stands -
The guy is in his fourth year - and has never passed a budget. Running deficits of 10% of GDP year on year - forever.
The government is actively fudging employment numbers.
He has knowingly violated the Constitution on recess appointments - etc.
He has worked to subvert the 1st (both speach and religion), 2nd (what else is Fast and Furious about?), 5th (killed Amrican citizen without trial), 10th (Obamacare), and 14th (New Black Panther party)amendments.
The facts in these instances are not even open to debate.
There is not logical reason to discuss the BC. it is silly. His mom is his mom. Even her nutty parents would not have let her have the baby in Kenya.
You go back to the standard play - never ask a question you don’t know the answer to. Unless you are desperate. There is no reason to be desperate about Obama - his record is pure crap. Talking about the BC - just makes you look foolish and desperate.
Talking about the BC plays to his strengths - an emotional issue with which he can paint the Right as “nutters”. There is an orgy of other total failures to bash him with. I’m not even digging deep for this list. This is WITHOUT Ayers, and Wright and Rezko and Blago and Czars and “Arab Spring” - without illegal auto bailout. Withoput Solyndra and Cash for Clunkers and ...
It is tiring - literally tiring - to make a list about KNOWN plays that are not presonal.
I am done with Rush.
My conclusion: He is untrustworthy.
