And what the media fails to realize, is that what we are having reported in Iraqi media is TRUE (actually, they may realize it and that is what bothers them the most)>

[goodnesswins]

The MSM is going to REGRET having brought this up.....LOL.

...anything to stop the spread of human rights and democracy

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

Hopefully they will have a Republic, not a Democracy. A Democracy will lead to mob rule, and too much civil unrest. They need a representative government. Not a government who makes all their decisions based on polls instead of leadership by elected officials. It is one of the main reasons we are so messed up in this country today, we think polls should dictate policy. Bad idea.

"Hopefully they will have a Republic, not a Democracy."

Yes, there is a distinction between a republic and a democracy. The term 'democracy' has been misused so often that everybody just adopted the new definition.

I understand that much of what was paid for was in the form of advertisements, event notices, and opinions.

Honestly, I can see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

If I faked some information or reported information incorrectly, then there's an ethical issue with that, but to pay for having true information spread....isn't that what happens daily all over America in the public relation mills? It's part of what newspapers do.

[wagglebee]

It would be nice if Americans would learn that we actually have a Constitutional republic and NOT a democracy. Neal Boortz does a great job explaining this, the problem is that his listeners generally aren't the ones who need to hear this.

As far as I am aware, a "democracy" as people seem to imagine it with the "one man, one vote" on everything has never worked anywhere. A republic actually protects the interests of the weaker members of society, while a democracy will invariably disolve into an oligarchy or dictatorship.

Besides Bush being a Christian, this must be another reason why the Lefty Loonies hate this man so much. Bush pays no attention to the polls unlike Clintoon who ran everything from the polls including his foreign policy.

With this, these statements and references and how they are reasoned together, my estimation of Limbaugh vastly improves.

[Zman516]

You're right. A pure democracy is bound for failure as soon as people realize they can vote for themselves the wealth of others.

Democracy ---> Two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

I've been listening to Rush for 14 years. He deals with FACTS (soundbites, etc.) and then connects the dots. He has an unbelievable research staff and terrific writers.

You may want to ask to be put on the Rush "ping" list.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Remember Eason Jordan?

Those CNN clowns were the first ones I thought of.

Anymore bottle rockets found around NBC? fake pcitures at the LA Times? phony stories at the NY Times? bogus people in news stories at the Washington Post? . . . .

I can't stand listening to him on the radio, sounds like a pompous blowhard, but I enjoy reviewing the transcripts. He makes fine points, well worth repeating - as in this example...

[Yorlik803]

The MSM is pissed because all these years they were writing Propaganda for Saddam for free, never considering asking for money...

[Bullish]

The MSM is now a laughingstock to anyone who's not slurping up the democrat kool-aide.

Lies upon lies designed to advance their own personal political agenda. They deserve what they're getting and that's disgust and disdain from the American public.

[MillerCreek]

Yeah, that's my conclusion, too. Reading his reasonings and comments is far preferable to listening to him. I realize mine/yours aren't such popular opinions among some, but, I hear him and tune him out due to about same as your take about him, but when I read his columns/transcripts, I agree with (most of) his points of view.

[MillerCreek]

I just find his vocal delivery too tense and it's distracting from what he has to say. I prefer to read him, let me just put it that way.

I'll look into the Rush Ping List, thanks.

An online documentary movie named Pallywood shows how Islamofascists create propaganda for Olds Media. (Hat tip to ASA Vet for finding Pallywood link.)

[PISANO]

The MSM is NOT worried about being labeled 'hypocritical' otherwise they would not have run with the "POSITIVE & TRUE" but paid for news in IRAQ.

This is all very simple. If a conservative is caught in a 'hypocritical' moment they are ashamed of themselves and usually RESIGN rather than try to defend. If they try to defend themselves, no matter, for they are ALWAYS punished anyway.

Why does this ALWAYS happen? Because the DIMS and their cohorts in the MSM will NOT LET IT GO AWAY. They stay on message until the results 'they' want are obtained.

However if the MSM OR a DIMWITCRAT exhibits any hypocrisy, well it is just not talked about, it is buried and in essence it does NOT exist. It is just some sort of alternate reality that the GOP lives in...........but not the REAL world that the MSM resides in.......hence it is NOT reported and thereby does NOT exist.

never considering asking for money...

heh-heh...or maybe they did...
