MEDIA BIAS SHOWN ON THE TODAY SHOW!!! THIS IS A MUST SEE!!

OPERATION BIAS CHECK -- DEBRIEFING

Newsflash! The so-called mainstream media is biased! It must be true - I saw it on the Today Show.

My fellow ProtestWarriors and I arrived early (4am, if you want to get a good spot) in the morning at Rockefeller Center and stood in line with the tourists. This is a great example of the impact that even just a couple of people can make, so take this as encouragement to make your voice heard even if you are small in numbers.

The crew does check the signs as people are let in, but we easily snuck ours through, as mine was covered with a façade that had "HAPPY BDAY LOLA!" scribbled across it. These two huge guys in front of me allow me to put my sign out over the rail in front of them, saying it was for my granny's 101st birthday. When they realized what the sign actually said, the Bubba to my right grabbed the sign out of my hands and threw it to the ground, and their Michael Moore-sized bodies closed in on me, pushing me back. But no matter - the damage was done.

The ProtestWarrior behind me was tall, and from his position he cleverly managed to move his sign up and down at just the right time to lull the weary camera man back into a long shot during Toby Maguire's interview.

Tomorrow's release of the Spiderman sequel was apparently the big news of the day, and if propaganda is a crime, we did a little bit of our own crime busting. In between the so-called news items (Laci Peterson, the latest teacher sex scandal, and the usual America-bashing spin), we got NBC to broadcast our message "DON'T BELIEVE THE LIBERAL MEDIA!" on national television.

While we were displaying our signs Matt Lauer was repeatedly referring to the Iraqis' pending trial of Saddam Hussein as a "show trial." To hear an American leftist describe the trial of a genocidal dictator, complete with his own defense attorney, as a show trial was truly infuriating. After so many dictators, i.e. Hitler, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao, and Castro, have gotten away with their genocidal crimes without being tried, it thrills our hearts to know that Saddam's crimes will be reviewed in a court of law by the people he brutalized - something freedom-loving people should celebrate. Unfortunately, Matt Lauer compares this process to the murderous trials of the innocents conducted by Stalin and Castro. Castro's televised trials in the late 1950's took about 15 minutes per innocent defendant, who was executed by firing squad immediately afterwards, no defense lawyers present. That's what "show trial" has always meant. And on the first day of the handover in Iraq, NBC and Mr. Lauer slander the new Iraqi regime and the Bush administration.

But thanks to talk radio, Fox News, a handful of newspapers, the internet, and fed up citizens across the country, America is no longer totally beholden to the liberal networks with their left-wing anti-America slant.

Freepers need to carry small video cameras everywhere they Freep. There are very small cheap digital cameras with video capability on the market. Carry these for self-protection -

Well said! A word to the wise. Never underestimate the capacity of "tolerant, life-loving" liberals to provoke and/or fabricate "incidents"!!!

It is just pathetic what the Left gets away with; propaganda; PC mind - non-judgmental - all things equal; the language of the 'Left'; has taken the predictible and desired toll on the 'American mind'.

If this were not the case; then NBC should have been flooded with phone calls/e-mails from disgusted viewwers. . .

Perhaps Katie playing badminton just made them forget. . .

This is a great protest, very inspiring and hilarious, too.

It was weird and tragically funny to watch the two liberal media goons attack the brave protester, rip the sign from her and throw it to the ground, then smile and wave as if to pretend they were just part of the crowd.

Protest Warriors indeed.
