Can You Trust The National Media? INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted 10/20/2006

Part five in a series.

Our national media have become the national mouthpiece and protective watchdog for the Democratic Party and its agenda. Eighty-six percent of journalists vote Democratic in presidential elections. More than 300 key media posts are held by former aides, advisers, speechwriters, strategists or Democratic National Committee officials from Democratic administrations or political campaigns — near monopolistic control.

Journalists from Walter Cronkite to Dan Rather never told the public they were liberal, and they always denied any liberal bias in the media. They claimed they just reported the news. Yet as the Media Research Center states, "Since 1985, the percentage of Americans who perceive a liberal bias in the media has doubled from 22% to 45%. Even a plurality of Democrats now say the press is liberal."

Not only is most of the media biased, they are arrogant about it.

[ I trust Fox more than the others. While Fox is center, the others are left-winged. ]

The United States currently HAS NO RIGHT WING at all..
At least I can't find one.. NONE, zero, zip, nada...

This situation is strange approaching bizaar.. even the "center" is left wing.. Its the rare person that even KNOWS social security(SSA) is pure socialism.. Not LIKE socialism but PURE SOCIALISM...

Walter Cronkite helped sabotage the Vietnam War with his reporting.
The twenty four hour news channels are now actually presenting the enemies version of the issues on OUR news shows.
Is being Tokyo Rose to America legal now during war, and could we ever have won WW2 with a press like this?

[caveat emptor]

Here's a quote from the article:

Now for the 9/11 Commission report. It disclosed that Clinton delegated to Berger national security issues and getting Osama bin Laden. Berger was presented with recommended plans to capture or strike at bin Laden at least four times: from CIA Director George Tenet in the spring of 1998 and June 1999, counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke in December 1999 and the CIA again in August 2000. Intelligence knew where bin Laden was.

In all cases, Berger said "no." He wrote notes on the plans with comments such as "Seven to 11 families in the Tarnack terrorist camp could be casualties," and "If he responds, we're blamed," or "If we captured him we might not have enough evidence to convict him," or "I will want more than verified location to provide assurance he will remain in place."

There are no references for the statements in bold. Does anyone recall seeing this before?

Anyone who exposes the mainstream media is OK to me.

I'm sure many of their readers need an intro. They like many other Americans have been kept in the dark around the drive by medias true agenda.

By far, the most insidious practice of the nearly 90% liberal-controlled national media is how they select which stories and facts to cover and promote, and the special slant they give to each story. More important are the stories they choose not to cover and which facts they omit because they don't support their story angle or political objectives.

This is definitely the biggest problem. The MSM plays up all of the Dems' accusations for weeks, and then does not tell people when the accusations are proven false; eg. Joe Wilson and the whole "Bush lied" fiasco.

[Brimack34]

You can't even trust the local media. Here in Mn. as it is in all 50 states have a local media as liberal as the National media.

Just like a Rush caller stated today...CNN should change their name to AlJaCNN.

[Liberty Wins]

The mainstream media is the closest thing to a fifth column since the Clintons left the White House.

[TatieBug]

Any reliable polls for the FL 16th? Sounds as though the good people of that district will VOTE and it will stay Rep...any thoughts?

[Swordfished]

The National Media is for people that want to feel they are informed without having to go through the tedious bother of actually being informed. The media is just entertainment with a 'newsy' feel that presents just enough information to pass as news of a sort without actually doing anything that may disturb someone and make them change the channel.

spot on.

[art_rocks]

I trust the media... to give me the sports scores.

Remember years ago when we were told if there was a perception of a problem, you have the problem.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

It's not liberal bias. It's a dedicated, resolute purpose, using its forces completely for the promotion of leftist goals.

"Winning the White House apparently has been more important than our security in a time of war."

I heard on RUSH on the air stating he heard that George Soros was having conference calls with journalists and Democrat campaign workers.

Would love to get the inside scoop on that info.
