Recently, the power of the Internet-based “Movement” news outlets is making it difficult for Corporate media to spin news developments in favor of Bush Republicanism.

Is this guy for real?

If Democrats were capable of understanding reality they would not be Democrats. Here's a few words sung to the tune of the Beetles "Yesterday" that explains the MSM reality:

Yesterday,  news was what we would say
Now the facts comes out everyday
Oh, We believe in yesterday.

Gradually, propaganda is not what it use to be
There's too many ways for the world to know.
The dirty truths we won't show
We could lie, show one side, our tune was all that played.
When... we... could be so wrong , how we long for that sweet day!

Yesterday, the camera only pointed our way.
 Now are viewers are turning away.
 Oh, we believe in yesterday

Look at his background. This ignorant blatherskate actually believes the garbage he writes here. Notice what he cites as accurate sources on the Internet. This is one moonbat citing other moonbats as accurate writers.

Both he and they are barking mad. We should keep track of them in case they turn rabid and start biting. But other than that, these folks serve only the purpose of our amusement.

Thanks for the post. I sent the gentlemen the following note. I'll post it here if there's a response.

I just read your article on the Net. I do a spot of radio myself in Boston, Kansas City, and points in between. I also write about media matters, among other subjects.

I have just one comment. Hear this in your mind in your best Steve Martin voice, "You've GOT to be JOKING." Tell me you're kidding. Reassure me that a fellow sentient being does not believe what you wrote in your article.

Or, not.

Cordially,

John /s/

I believe he took a literary "movement" with the typical RAT inverse view of the universe. If it was a math paper, you'd say he got the sign wrong.

[In response to the pro-Corporate bias and pro-Republican bias of the mainstream media, an alternative Internet-based media has developed. Websites, news services, blogs and Internet talk radio arose out of the grassroots of American politics to provide a more balanced outlook.]




So there USED to be the Big Corporate Media which was biased TOWARDS conservatism, but there is now a NEW Internet media which provides a balance by being not as far RIGHT?





Let Stephen Crockett's example be a lesson to us all: DON'T SMOKE CRACK!

Actually I'm glad this was posted on FR, as it lists a bunch of Dem sites to explore. There's the old saying: Know thy enemy. I shall check them out for info on what they're up to, and, if for no other reason, for humor's sake.
