As much as we may revel in the falling fortunes of the MSM, the MSM still has undue influence on the direction of our country. The amount of time devoted on and the tenor of their reports on potential candidates goes a long way in creating a bandwagon for their favored candidates. After the initial stages of the agenda are accomplished, the MSM proceeds to start classifying the candidates into tiers so they can justify giving even more time to their favored candidates. If the data were available, I would wager that Hillary has been given five to seven times the coverage of any the candidates while Duncan Hunter has been given less than a fraction of one percent of the total time devoted to political reports. The impact of commercials paid for by the candidates pales in comparison to “news” stories which viewers and readers judge as more objective. Hunter’s low ranking is due to the intentional neglect of the MSM.

There’s a lot of truth in that. Still, it is our duty as conservatives to seek out the truth. That’s what you, I, and many others have done.

>Hunter’s low ranking is due to the intentional neglect of the MSM.<

I also believe that Rep. Hunter’s low ranking is due to the greed of gigantic manufacturing corporations wanting cheap labor, no matter where they can find it. And of course, those corporations advertise in and on the MSM.
