I think you just made the Statement of the Year. "If we listen to the MSM we will never know the truth about what is going on anywhere". That says it all. Everyday the media reports not actual news but Democrat Talking Points and they spin and backtrack when they are caught. Thanks to the New Media we are catching them more and more and allowing more innocent everyday citizens to see their duplicity with the DNC. The last two years has been especially informative to those that work too many hours to really know what is going on outside of a misinformation sound bite by the Drive By Media. Now they are finding out the real story and are rejecting the MSM/DNC.What I find really amazing is that people can makes sense of anything the MSM/DNC says because it is so convoluted and they keep changing the story as they get called on for their lies. I wonder if their Children ever ask them "what they Heck is the real story Dad/Mom?"

From today's Steyn column:

You know what's great fun to do if you're on, say, a flight from Chicago to New York and you're getting a little bored? Why not play being President Ahmadinejad? Stand up and yell in a loud voice, "I've got a bomb!" Next thing you know the air marshal will be telling people, "It's OK, folks. Nothing to worry about. He hasn't got a bomb." And then the second marshal would say, "And even if he did have a bomb it's highly unlikely he'd ever use it." And then you threaten to kill the two Jews in row 12 and the stewardess says, "Relax, everyone. That's just a harmless rhetorical flourish." And then a group of passengers in rows 4 to 7 point out, "Yes, but it's entirely reasonable of him to have a bomb given the threatening behavior of the marshals and the cabin crew."

It is obvious that the Fox panelists who are for appeasing, cajoling or ignoring the threat from Iran, need to read this and memorize it!!

It is clear that the MSM reports directly from the DNC fax line, talking points included. You can hear the same few words being used by every single one on the left.

Other than Brit Hume, we have no one to actually discuss issues and report FACTS.

Which is why the lefties on the other stations rip at Brit every chance they get.

Happy Easter and great post samantha.

The comment drive-by media seems to be getting traction according to Rush last week. He played a couple of clips by msm'ers who are not too happy about the term.

It fits nicely IMHO.
