Get tougher on President Bush and go out of business faster.Rage on,Rush is right less people are listening.
They still don't get it.
Of course, they overlooked FOX News and the fact that it is the QUALITY of the competition, not the quantity, that is allowing the competition to eat their lunch now (and soon, their dinners too!).
They're going down for the last time. And they reach for the anchor.
If the owners of these papers and magazines would exercise a little judgement in their hiring practices and hire only those who would report the news without their political bias showing, they'd probably see business pick up.
Will they do that? No.
Perfect analogy...
What,a constant and steady stream of "Bush Bashing" is not enough for these guys?
You bet!
The use of "quantity" and ommiting mention of quality proves that they will lie even to themselves.
S'cuse me....I feel my gorge rising
Actually many leaders in the industry ignore the bottom line, they are so ideologically driven.
As a rule of thumb, most editors would rather print ideological drivel than make a profit, as long as their own salaries are not impaired. If someone else has to be fired because circulation is down, too bad.
More than half of national journalists are activists pretending to be "journalists."
While, in the past, the media (as a monopoly) might have suceeded in this effort, facing competition which offers the public high-quality objective content, they are fading fast into what GW might call "the dustbin of failed ideas".
These people totally do not get it, do they? People are getting booed off stage by college kids for bashing the president and the left's answer is to bash him more. This is going to backfire on them big time. I'm counting on it.
Yes they have cast their lot, and their ship is taking water. Enough that some, more evenhanded journalists, have been able to wiggle out from underneath liberal bias oppression and get into lifeboats so to speak. John Stossel and Brian Sussman come to mind.
Journalism self-defines as wisdom. Any individual journalist would of course deny that - but no individual journalist would deny the claim that "journalism" is objective, and objectivity is impossible without wisdom. Anyone who denies the objectivity of journalism would instantly be drummed out of the field of journalism by the full propaganda power of all other journalists.But the well-known characteristics of journalism are directly at odds with the cultivation of wisdom.
That means that journalism is superficial, negative, and unrepresentative - a witch's brew which is inimicable to the cultivation of wisdom. It is in fact the perfect concoction in which to produce "liberalism" - socialism, misleading labeled.
- Always meet your deadline
- If it bleeds it leads
- Man Bites Dog is news, "Dog Bites Man" is not news.
These "press" retards have been graduated from schools that forgot to teach them that the media business is a private enterprise concern. That means, simply, no profits, no business! The more liberal, left-wing, "traitor" Democrat Party BS they print, the more newspapers and TV mainstream media will go down the drain. Hello........has anyone noticed the ever declining viewers of CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, etc.? And....the declining readership of the New York Times? End of story!
Geez. It's bash Bush 24/7.
No wonder people are tuning out.
Breathtaking.
Nearly eight in 10 in both the national and local news media say that not enough attention is paid to complex issues,
What they mean is not enough people swallow their spin on these "complex issues".
Bah
