I agree that we need to start now. We have to fight a media who NEVER MENTIONED John Kerry's strange honorable discharge situation. This is not fair and balanced.

I am willing to chuck all our "Fox Friends" and go for a Conservative Network, where we can present the "other side" and be partisan "out of the closet" and insist that the alphabet networks out themselves proudly as well.

We could TAUNT them: ARE YOU ASHAMED OF BEING LIBERAL?

I think a conservative TV news network would be wonderful. We could still provide head-to-head debate shows.

It's not likely that MSM can change.

It will likely have to be replaced over time, which could take a number of years. That's what is happening already with the rise of Fox News and internet reporting.

The old entrenched MSM is mostly watched by the older generation (for example, I can't imagine any young people watching perky Katie or Rather) who don't even see what Couric, Rather, Brokaw, et. al. are doing as biased. They really think that they are getting news, not just opinions. Ask around of some people who watch those shows, it might surprise you.

"It is only the grace of God that He chose to spare us from a bad king."

And, I truly believe, it WAS God's grace in this election. After all that the MSM, Hollywood, Billionaires, and the multitude of demented threw into this election, there can be no other explanation.

Amen to that!

My first action, in learning that President Bush was truly elected, was a word of Thanks to the Lord, who has saved us!

Perhaps as the aging anchor men on network news programs retire

Perhaps? PERHAPS???? These ridiculous fools have poisoned
several generations of reporters and run off anybody that
didn't agree with them.
Fortunately, they have so marginalized the network news that
nobody is going to notice when they disappear.

As these aging anchor men on network news retire.....

they are going to be replaced by a younger generation of news readers who were raised in the public education system and who, in all probability, went to a college or university that positively reeks of socialism. Do not look to the younger generation to throw off the blinders - they are steeped in it before they speak their first line on TV.

I am more convinced than ever that conservatives MUST take back the educational system in this country if we are to survive as a nation.

We dodged a bullet this time. Next time we might not be so lucky.

You're absolutely right.

The American Heartland saw right through the most relentless propaganda in history.

The so-called "journalists" and the rest of the Democrats and Leftists are in shock. They're still trying to explain the 2004 Bush Revolution. They can't because understanding it requires honesty and a confrontation with reality, something to which they lack the wit and the courage to rise.

They cannot understand that Bush won because of substance, not appearances.

Bush is the quintessence of the American Heartland--courage, intelligence, morality.

Kerry is the quintessence of the contemporary Democrat Party--appearances and no substance.
