TIME Omits Positive War on Terror Results From Report on its Own Poll!!!

On Friday, NewsBusters reported the results of a new Rasmussen poll indicating that the public’s view of the War on Terrorism has dramatically improved in the past couple of months, but none of the mainstream media were opting to share this information with the citizenry. Well, another polling agency has just done a survey confirming this increase in American optimism concerning this subject. Yet, in this case, the very media outlet that paid for the survey is the one not including the results in its own published report.

On Sunday, TIME magazine posted an article at its website concerning a recent poll done for it by Schulman, Ronca & Bucuvalas (SRBI). This survey covered the typical analysis found in most polls these days including the president's job approval rating, how the public feels things are going in Iraq, etc. Yet, TIME curiously chose not to share with its readers an entire section from this SRBI survey concerning how the public feels the War on Terrorism is going.

Watta shocker :O

The old media companies still think that it's not news until they says it's news.

Boys, the internet ain't baseball...

The war against terrorists is being fought by volunteers. They reflect what the general public thinks, because they come from the general public.

Excellent point!

"Must I SAY it....?"

I like that line of thinking.

Expect circulation and ad revenue to drop at TIME.

Will not renue sub.

Heck, I refuse to even look at a free copy in the Dentist's office. I'd rather read a childrens magazine. More real news content.

Notice how as we are obviously winning this they are pulling out all the stops to force a surrender.
We were within 2 months of winning the Vietnam war and the same traitorous commie subverts did the same thing, generate a perception of failure where there was none.
Same people, same play book.
The brain share is the universities, thats where I think the ringleaders have been all this time.

Will not renue sub.

Why did you sign up for one in the first place ?

I subscribed myself a dozen years ago and never renewed.

Most of what Americans read in their papers and see on television is the product of only a handful of giant corporations and Iraq is an on-going example of the dishonest and blatantly incendiary "reporting" by agenda driven representatives of these mega-corporations. Reporting specifically intended to undermine national and international confidence in President Bush and his administration.

Yet, under the Clinton Administration (and despite laws specifically designed to prevent it) merger after merger took place until finally, by the end of the millennium, a handful of mega-corporations totally controlled the flow of news, information and entertainment within this country ~
this includes books, magazines, television, newspapers, movies, music, internet access, etc.,etc.  

The actual number of corporations dominating most of every mass medium dropped, under this administration, from from 23 media firms to 6 mega-media corporations by the Spring of 2000! But even this number is deceiving ~ the power and influence of these mega-conglomerates is understated by counting them as 'six.' For, in reality, these six are actually intertwined: they own stock in each other, they cooperate in joint media ventures, and among themselves they divide profits from some of the most widely viewed programs on television, cable and movies.

  As foreseen by the Supreme Court in 1945, this consolidation of power and control has been to the detriment of us all as the media role has shifted from ensuring democracy to undermining the function of true democracy

Under this condensed, goal oriented management, our nation's "Guardians Of The Peoples Right to Know" have mutated into little more than "information brokers" and "opinion shapers" who present very specific information in a manner which meets a very specific agenda.   Shielded behind the cloak of 'journalism' and without regard for truth, accuracy, or impartiality, a countless variety of sources now continually present us with carefully manufactured versions of world events. Sadly, most citizens are completely unaware that 'news' stories repeated by numerous, and seemingly 'different' sources are actually a single, unencumbered voice.

A review of the outrageously provocative "coverage" of Hurricane Katrina and NOLA serves to underscore the extent to which the "MSM" has joined forces with the radical left in an all out effort to overthrow a standing president. Such a review clearly demonstrates that these "Guardians of the peoples right to know" are not merely complaisant in this assault on the presidency of George W. Bush but that they, in fact, active participants! They aggressively propagate malicious falsehoods and knowingly lie by omission, they willfully disseminate misinformation and disinformation and they go out of their way to facilitate and legitimize every radical entity's Bush-hating promulgations.

The MSM are players in what can rightly be called "Information Warfare" and they are facilitating direct attacks on this nation which far more insidious and far more dangerous to us as a nation than are the attacks of the players in the War on Terror! One has only to review the speeches given at the cRATconvention in 2004 to realize that this truly is an orchestrated effort to undermine/discredit/impeach President Bush ~ an ongoing vendetta against George W. Bush for having "STOLE" the Presidency in 2000, and the "Fourth Estate" is the means with which to "reclaim what is rightfully theirs" regardless of the cost!

The MSM is criminal in its behavior and I absolutely think they should be made to answer for their seditious actions!! The central purpose of journalism is to provide citizens with accurate and reliable information they need to function in a free society and the legislative branch of our government owe it to the citizens of this nation to address and correct the unlawful actions taken under the clinton administration which left the flow of information to the public at large in the hands of a very few mega-corporations.

We cannot afford to ignore this ~ we must all be on the offensive to loudly expose this treason and sedition for what it is at each and every opportunity!

I've often wondered how many high blood pressure readings at the doc's office are due to Time/Newsweek being available in the waiting room.

[capecodderathome]

Thanks to the dumbing down of America, fewer and fewer read "Time".
Knowing that doctor's offices always seem to have Time/Newsweek, I bring my own reading material, and keep my BP readings down.
