As far as I am concerned, the editor can walk west until his hat floats.

But he is half right. We should totally ignore the main stream media. This means not listening to any of their broadcast, or reading any of their papers and to the extend possible stop doing business with those who sponsor them.

We should, however, contact their sponsors and tell them as I did Home Depot, that the main stream media have been proven to be liars and their continued sponsorship of them reflects upon their reputation. [To Wit] I cannot trust, In my case CBS and Dan Rather, to be honest and since you continus to support them, therefore I cannot trust you to be honest. Since honesty the reason I do business with someone I must stop doing business with you.

"I think conservatives ought to quit trying to intimidate the rest of the media," said Eleanor Clift,

I would prefer to see indictments, trials, convictions and sentences myself.

Conservative Americans to the Rathering lunatic liberal, Clift:

Your decades of lying to America and getting by with are history. Now if you lie about GW or the Republicans, we will telling the world about your lie in less than 24 hours. Or like the c BS lies and forgeries, in hours.

So from now on, when you lie, we tell the world, the truth. If you consider the truth to be intimidating, then you are a Rathering old b$tch, who should retire with Dan.

CNN senior political analyst Jeff Greenfield called Schieffer "about as straight a shooter I know...He is just the gold standard when it comes to a straight up honest reporter," Greenfield told CNSNews.com. Greenfield acknowledged that CBS News "took a hit" on the Bush National Guard documents, but he insisted that all major media outlets have had similar incidents. "We have all been through this. It's embarrassing. They have to figure out how it happened," Greenfield said.

Translation:
We have the right to slant stories and lie most of the time, we're trained professionals...

We will now work dilligently to slander and discredit those who caught us.

"I think conservatives ought to quit trying to intimidate the rest of the media," said Eleanor Clift, a contributing editor to Newsweek, in an interview with CNSNews.com following Thursday night's presidential debate at the University of Miami.

Usually I just put this woman on mute, or just surf on by.

Generally she comes across as this old tired loud whiney mean extreme leftist marxist....who appears like she always has a hairball stuck in her craw.

Where's the Outrage? As Republicans seek an investigation into the inner workings of CBS, pessimistic reports about Iraq receive scant attention WEB-EXCLUSIVE COMMENTARY By Eleanor Clift Newsweek Updated: 6:04 p.m. ET Sept. 24, 2004 Sept. 17 - It's like that television ad, "Another loan lost to Ditech." From the Kerry campaign's perspective, this was another week lost to the Republicans. George W. Bush's proven failure to fulfill his National Guard duties was widely reported, but because of CBS's flawed journalism, the GOP was able to shift the story away from Bush's credibility to Dan Rather's.

"Score it as a loss for [John] Kerry and as a loss for the liberal news media," says pollster John Zogby. "It's amazing how Fox is the tail that wags the dog. Fox, [cybergossip Matt] Drudge and [Rush] Limbaugh are in the driver's seat." Zogby attributes much of Kerry's slide in the polls to discouraged Democrats moving into the undecided column. "I've never seen a situation where a candidate has de-energized his own base," says Zogby. "He's not saying anything his own base needs to hear."

Republican lapdogs on Capitol Hill rushed to cash in on "Rathergate." Rep. Chris Cox, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, urged the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Telecommunications to investigate CBS's use of potentially falsified documents. This is a party that launches investigations into Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction—and now this—while ignoring the intelligence lapses that led the country into an unnecessary war in Iraq, and covering for Bush when he exaggerates the progress in that nation’s development.

The National Intelligence Estimate prepared for the president in late July, and reported Thursday by The New York Times, describes Iraq in far more pessimistic terms than Bush does on the campaign trail, with civil war a likely outcome.

I agree, we need to stop intimidating the media. As soon as they start telling the truth as it is and not how they want it to be. As soon as they stop obviously choosing sides.

It's not like the thing with Rather and the forged docs was some kind of 1st time mistake it's just the first time we've had the tools to call them on it. How many other times have we known that there was something fishy going on and we were powerless to do anything about it? Well, no more. They need to be held to standards and they don't deserve a pass when they lie to the American people.

Here are my thoughts on the subject.

Ms. Clift can bitch and grip all she wants but whether she and anybody else likes it or not the whistleblowing on the mSM is going to continue.

It's time for Clift and her kind to get back into the real world and accept the reality thatthis is not a progressive majority nation or even a divided nation. This is a conservative majority nation and anybody that says otherwise is a bald faced pathological liar and the MSM are all bald faced pathological liars.

Regards.

Reminds me of 2000 when the conservative demonstrators demanding a stop to the recounts were "intimidating" election officials (despite the fact that they were well dressed and groomed and being completely orderly).

The Left can dress like ghouls, carry signs with the most offensive language and shout hateful slogans, go on rampages through the city, and more, and all they're doing is "expressing their views". But when conservatives do anything at all to stand up for their beliefs, no matter how respectably they conduct themselves, it's automatically "intimidation".

Media have NO right to be part of the political process, more than any other person. If they want to be exempt from criticism, let them become dictators in some OTHER country.

I think the "media" should return to the basics of journalism and report facts. But I'm not going to get that.

And there is no way Freepers are gonna stop calling MSM on the carpet for their lies and biased reporting. Ta Da.
