Declaring very early fake victories and having their fake orgasm. This is what liberals and their media whores have been doing for the last five years and they will continue to do so for many years to come.

The MSM will frame that shot and the typical moron who watches the MSM news shows will never know tha this idiot was standing there all alone.

Until we all start boycotting the sponsors of these shows and stick to it, then all we will do is sit here and keep preaching to our own choir about how bad the MSM is.

We are all guilty of chewing the fat about the RATs and the MSM but we really don't do much about it. Boycotts last a few days and that is it.

They didn't get the perp walk or the mug shot they wanted, so they had to swarm all over something.

From this picture the ratio of the defeated liberal media to the left wing kook demonstrator is 12:1.

Disgusting Pimps and whores all. The (con) artist is pimping his work though the whore media and the rat media are using the whore to pimp their socialist, anti-American agenda. Neither one really cares anything about truth.

"The only way to clean them up is to stop buying their rags or watching their programs. Turn them off and tune out. Money talks."

I'm with you on that one. TIME, NEWSEEK, USA TODAY, the ALPHABET network news. If ALL conservatives banned purchasing/watching anything by these idiots for just three months, they would stand up and listen. It's just the matter of co-ordinating so we were all on the same page at the same time.

WHo is Chris Levack and why does is the media giving him so much attention. 500 protesting conservatives couldn't attract a quarter of those cameras.

"What am I missing here?"

Most journalists are blind to their own bias - indeed, they think the are less biased than the average person - so they do not monitor themselves for it. They think bias means consciously thinking, "I want to 'get' Bush, so I'll cover this story and not cover that story."

Despite what many in FR think, most print journalists (columnists excepted) do not operate at that level of bias. Their bias is more subliminal and instinctive, and involves a pre-determined set of themes which catch their attention or do not catch their attention, which seem important or unimportant, as the case may be. Since they are apparently not trained to catch themselves in this sort of bias, it goes undetected and uncorrected.

Thus we have media feeding frenzies over Cindy Sheehan, or the guy in this photo today, because they trigger one of the unconscious "this is a story" buttons in the media. Other stories, sometimes far more important ones, do not trigger a "this is a story" button and are therefore ignored. One other factor is that most modern newsrooms are almost entirely populated by liberal Democrats, so there is a groupthink mentality in which shared assumptions are never seriously questioned.

Did you just notice that the MSM is always WORKING FOR the Democrats and now for the Terrorists?

I realized that when I was in a FREEP of Clinton in 1999 in Stuart FL........We had several hundred proesters (many locals had joined) on the street waiting for BJ to arrive at a fundraiser.

The CNN cameraman & reporter were only interested in interviewing three pro-clinton creeps who showed up. They asked them to move to our side of the street obviously to create the impression that a big crowd was supporting clinton. They could do this because most locals had no signs since they had joined us spontaneously.

We foiled the interview by shouting Clinton News Network and made so much noise they had to stop the interview.

"MSM moonbats are clueless!"

On the contrary, they know exactly what they are doing. And their mission is exactly the same as Pravda's.
