Cool.
Now I realize that within this new alternative media there exists some jealosy,. I sense that some people don’t want to give the blogosphere the full credit. They have to parcel it out because every body wants a piece of the action; this is quite normal, this is human nature. The fact of the matter is that it was the blogosphere and it was a couple of sites: Powerline and FreeRepublic. And FreeRepublic has been one of the most impugned blogs / websites in the history of websites by the very institution that has been brought down.
When Dan Rather talked about partisan political operatives, he means those who lurk at FreeRepublic. Who is FreeRepublic, it’s ordinary Americans – liberals look down at ordinary Americans, don’t know have enough decision making power, [?] do the right thing, not smart enough …
You don’t know how much it grates on them at CBS that its something like FreeRepublic or one of their chat rooms or one of the FReepers there or the Powerline … you have no idea that it irritates them that that kind of person brought them down. An average, ordinary untrained journalist that … you just do not know how this irritates them inside. More than the fact that they got caught, it’s who caught them that irritates them.
And, so just as I started out … I was a fad, and I was a liar, and I made it up and I was bad for America and I posed threats to democracy, as the cover of Time said. So now the same things are being said about the bloggers. Fox news has had its turn and we all continue rotating in the criticism carousel of the left.
To me, being in the Pajamasphere is like being at a Vast Right Wing Pajama Party . . .
Rush said you took CBS down.
Congrats!
Just kidding about the names!
:-)
HE he he...Are we becoming mainstream...will I have to wear a tux now while posting?
It's about time the news media learned they don't pack the punch of times past. The internet has pushed them to the side like the dinosaurs they are.
Yeah, well it's mutual,
"Rush used to think Freepers were conspiracy theorists."
"many of us are conspiracy theorists ..... just not quite as paranoid as the ultra-violet end of the political spectrum"
especially when we see JFKerry campaign/CBS conspiring to destroy a President with forged documents....
Love ya Rush
Red
Is it possible to post audio files on FR? Or is there a site online where I can hear transcripts? I'd love to hear what he said....only I'm at work and can't listen to the radio:-(
Only after 5 p.m.
In the last 15 minutes of the third hour.
Black tie.
These are sage and wise words.
PING to my Vigilant Kindred (VK's) - be watchful, My Brothers and Sisters, for the onslaught is about to begin!
Scum of the Earth (to elite media)...
REPORTING FOR DUTY!!!
How 'bout "Pajama Posse"?
OK, so who here is ready to take down ABC, now that buckhead et al., has brought down CBS?!
