“Our MSM media is the propaganda arm of the democrat party..”

“The Fourth Estate has become a Fifth Column.”


I cannot remember when I first started saying that, but I have been saying it emphatically since the MSM reported Florida had gone to Gore in 2000 before the polls in the panhandle (a notably conservative segment in a different time zone) had closed, inducing some to abandon after-work efforts to get to the polling booth.

Had the MSM not lied, I am convinced Bush would have gained enough more votes to cleanly avoid the whole recount fiasco.

Contrary to what his enormous ego tells him, Michael Savage, who claims to have originally coined it, is mistaken: I think many aware patriots have independently coined that phrase over the years; I know I was saying it years before I ever heard Savage - or anyone else - say it.

Full disclosure:

I got the information about the panhandle shortly after the election via Lee Rodgers [RIP] of KSFO on his early morning show.

I reluctantly voted for Bush in 2000, but enthusiastically protested (across the street from Stanford University) the attempted judicial coup by the 9th Circuit; I did not vote for Bush in 2004, after I saw how he would send our soldiers to die halfway around the world, but would not protect our own borders: a true neocon (read: noncon - or should that be just a con?).

I can’t recall where I first saw it...but it rang true when I read it and never forgot it.

It’s as true now as it was then.
