"The CBS and ABC nightly news programs tonight were simply ugly. That is the only way to describe them. 110% anti-GWB."

With all their obvious bias this election they have a lot invested in a Kerry victory. A win for Bush is not only a defeat for Kerry but an even worse defeat for his enablers in the big media. They will have shown themselves to be completely ineffectual despite the gloves off campaigning for Kerry.

Its going to be a glorious November 3, and four more years of Bush.

Here's a thought to ponder.

Remember when Hollywood & the ABB flooded the streets and airwaves in 2002 & 2003 in the lead up to the Iraq war? America responded very negatively.

Since then their antics rarely lift an eyebrow. People are dismissive of what they say. The American people have gone from outrage to apathy. They ignore them now unless they do something that cannot be ignored.

It used to be their opinions carried some weight, now they are a running joke or object of derision.

Just as Michael Moore has become.

If the MSM keeps this up, the same fate is going to await them. CBS is already starting to feel this effect. NYT's is beginning to as well. Once the appetitite for outrage has been reached, we slip to apathy and mocking.

If your desire is to shape the news to fit the opinion you wish the American people to hold, becoming a source that is either ignored or made fun is not to be encouraged.

We haven't yet reached that level for the entirety of the MSM, but eventually their influence is going to decline permanently of their own making if they continue on the ABB Michael Moore course.
