MSM's hold is dying.....I can see it....
Excellent! Thanks for composing this and for sharing it with us.
Well done! Thanks!
Great comparison ... and exactly the reason that I seldom have my tv on any more except to watch sports or check on the weather.
Open the pod door Hal.
great job, Congressman. You have nailed it!
Pretty good. And thanks for the ping kay.
How do you feel, Hal? "Dave? Dave???"

MSM's hold is dying.....I can see it....
Boils down to the essence. Good one.
Here is one about some Democrats who want Bush to ban trash shipments from Canada. Here is one about a bill a Democrat introduced. Here is one about a Democrat who put out a press release. I looked on the AP site. There are no comparable stories about congressional Republicans, even though they have majorities in both houses and can, unlike the Democrats, actually pass bills. It's as if no one bothered to tell the AP reporters that the Democrats don't run the show anymore. Like your mechanical voice in the airport, they just keep cranking out those "here's what's happening in Washington" stories entirely from the perspective of the Democratic Party. One wonders whether the AP reporters have even one Republican Senator or Representative in their Rolodexes. |
I remember that show - for the record it was The Chris Matthews Show,and the other two talking heads were Gloria Borger and Campbell Brown. But you're right, it doesn't really matter which pundits are filling the seats at any given time.
I saw this show while flipping through, and all I could think was that this sight, five liberals sitting in a television studio wailing about the evils to be wrought on our "democracy" by the Republican Party, perfectly demonstrates what the "news media" has become.
They sit in their Manhattan or DC studios or newsrooms, calling 61 million Americans stupid, bigoted, easily-misled rubes, peddling (with a wink and a nod) outlandish conspiracy theories about how Karl Rove manipulated vote totals in Florida and Ohio (after hooking up with Osama bin Laden to produce a videotape that was the sole reason for John Kerry's defeat), and just generally throwing a big kicking and screaming temper tantrum like a spoiled 3-year-old who's just been told by Mommy that she's not buying that toy.
In the mean time, they're either ignoring, or they haven't noticed, that their readership and viewership is abandoning them in droves, that more and more people are recognizing their blatant left-wing bias, that journalism is one of the most hated professions in America today.
I think you're right - it's just about time to pull the plug on them and start over.
Fun! I think your right, it's almost a mantra. I like to play it as a game - hear that a story's coming up, and then we try to guess the angle...
Like, how can they possibly turn "Mt. St. Helens" into a "Bush Bad" story?
great! 'cept i like to call the MSM the Old media.. or almost dead media.. just to tork 'em.
and you forgot Bill Moyers.. socialist grandaddy of them all... with Public financing even.. meaning PBS.
i tend to think they are more dangerous then we think.. and more sinister.. i believe they are rousing the masses much as Lenin did .. feeding the hate. but maybe i'm way too suspicious..
Bttt
Ann Coulter examines this in detail in Slander. It's worth a read if you haven't already.
"Like Confederate General Jubal T. Early, I make occasional raids into Washington, D.C."
You are probably thinking of Jubilation T Cornpone. (A natural mistake given your comparison.)
Jubal Early (the general) enjoyed the middle name of Anderson.

I have been watching with some amusement the flurry of stories from the Associated Press telling us about all the wonderful things that Democrats are doing in the Congress.
