The fact is, MSM, people do not trust you at all. They do not trust you because you do not report THE NEWS. You report your opinion of the news, and are terrified by the facts. If you had to report the facts of Cindy Sheehan---who supports her, what outrageous things she has said---you'd only ask one question: why hasn't her daughter-in-law and former husband locked her up with Lyndon LaRouche? Her world view is no more rational than that of Calypso Louie's; her supporters to the left of Leon Trotsky.
MSM, you're losing because you cannot even get proportion right anymore. You can't deal with the fact that the military voted in OVERWHELMING numbers for Pres. Bush, or that re-enlistments of combat troops is at an all-time high. You never mention that gas prices are high, in part, because 20-25% of the cost of a gallon of gas is TAXES and that the one thing government (whisper: "Busssssshhhhh") could do is to ELIMINATE GAS TAXES!!! But nooooo. The MSM can never advocate a tax cut because that would be for the "rich"---like me, a middle class college prof living in flyover country.
You're losing because not just nationally, but even locally, you have bias in everything you write. Want proof? A headline in the Dayton Daily News from last year's election: VP Cheney visited Dayton and the headline was "Cheney's Visit Ties Up Downtown Traffic." Franken-Kerry visited Dayton and the headline was "Thousands Turn Out for Kerry Rally." Which is it? Did Kerry tie up traffic, or did thousands turn out for Cheney?
And the worst part is you are still . . . STILL, after some 20 years of academic studies that prove bias without a shadow of a doubt, denying that you are slanted left. I could cite you 15 academic studies of word use, "framing," code words, source use, or any other accepted academic method for measuring bias you choose to use that quietly agree that the press is leftist.
I'm so glad you are losing. I've waited for this a long, long time.
Bravo! Bravo! Delta...Bravo!
Great rant!
Let me add one more item:
To the LSM/MSM:
You made a DELIBERATE decision to avoid showing footage of the 9/11 attacks. Might make us "mad", ya know?! Well, turns out we remember anyway. Your propaganda can't outweigh our determination to eliminate those who would do it again...or worse. Maybe Viagra will come up with a little blue pill to cure MSM impotence...it's about the only hope left for you.
