L.A.Times: Conservatives Should Stop Complaining About Media, They Have Killed ‘Truth’
MensNewsDaily.com ^ | October 1, 2008 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 10/01/2008 8:01:04 AM PDT by RogerFGay

This has to rank as the all time most hypocritical piece I’ve yet seen featuring liberal finger waging at conservatives over their ire at the product of the leftist press. It is conservatives, you see, that have “have put the final nail in the coffin of truth,” in essence killing the truth, not the left for doing its level best to eliminate the entire concept of truth. It is our fault for pointing out the liberal’s efforts to destroy truth not theirs for having launched the campaign. How’s THAT for spin? ... cont.

I’ll take partisan conservative media if that’s all the choice I get. Heck, it was good enough for the founding fathers.

Fox News is a mirror that liberals cannot face honestly. You know how you feel when you watch it? That’s how conservatives have felt for generations. Liberals killed the objective media first. Live with what you’ve wraught.

Warner’s head is going to explode if he keeps trying to argue with, or explain, the “thinking” of liberals.

I just read, “For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.” (2 Corinthians 13:8)

I read the original LA Times article... and this part made my head explode...
“Conservatives may have a point that the traditional media are slanted to the left, but it is also clear that they aren’t content with simple ideological balance. What they want, as we have seen, is their own biased media, in the form of Fox News and the Washington Times”

In other words... liberals are allowed to have biased media, but how dare conservatives prefer media that’s tilted to the right???? Obviously the Libs should have control of all media to make sure all of it slants left.

Oh silly me... they already do.

I think it would be a capital idea if my fellow FReepers and anyone who is interested assembled a list of MSM types who have flat out lied about Gov Palin or ran hit pieces 24/7.

Right now my list includes:

1. EJ Dionne
2. Campbell Brown
3. Keith Olbermann

These folks deserve our scorn and derision whenver their names are mentioned, enough is enough!

Anyone care to add to the list?

I’ve had many heated arguments at work with some of my liberal co-workers and Obama Kool-Aid drinkers. It is becoming an even greater problem in recent weeks. I have voiced my opinion about the liberal, slanted media and all I get is “I’m tired of you conservatives whining about this and all of your rhetoric.” I point out the facts and I get drowned out with jibberish blah, blah blah. Is this an Obama thug tactic? Then one guy actually tells me that he thinks Keith Olbermann is “objective.” What a joke! Then I point out to him that he, along with Matthews, used to do election night coverage (before getting demoted) and their liberal slant on the news was obvious. We are dealing with brainwashed people here. I guess I should keep politics out of the office but it’s hard to deal with this continued rhetoric. I’m very passionate about my conservative beliefs. Does anyone else have these kinds of problems at work? Does anyone have any advice for me? I stand my ground and all I hear is that conservatives are “wrong” “dumb”, you name it. I’m sick of it and I’m sick of arguing with these idiots.

How can these swine know what or what not is truth when they have been living lies for all of their miserable lives?

There are facts, which can be inconvenient for Progressives, and there is THE TRUTH which, for Progressives, remains constant and oblivious to mere facts.

Last night I watched CNN travel to a tiny island town in Alaska where you can actually see Russia from every home on the bluffs. The whole point of the segment was to embarrass Sarah Palin because she said that you could see Russia from Alaska. One can, but it is basically a barren island.

They interviewed the local people there who said that Sarah had never been to their town. In fact no governor of Alaska had been to their town ever.

They wanted to portray Sarah Palin as a liar and opportunist.

I have yet to see them visit the Gardens in Chicago that Obama got money for but were never built. Or how about the housing project he championed? Oh, they are mostly unlivable slums. I am still waiting for the remarkable strides Obama made through the Chicago Annenburg Challenge with the $100 million dollars in grants he funneled to education improvements. Oh, right, no real accomplishments there, just lots of money going to his friends to fund radical reeducation camps. Money gone, no change, no story.

Pathetic, pathetic MSM, you don’t get it do you. Thank God Al Gore invented the internet.:)

Are you working at the IRS or DMV? These sound like unproductive people. Also, are these kool-aid drinkers the ones who are always pissed at the company, call in sick once or twice a week, and take way too long at lunch?

I am guessing none of these people are in sales, or in any position where they must produce or meet a goal or objective.

You may want to let them know that it is producers who make this country work. You should let them know that they need to quit coming to productive people like yourself, with their hand out. If they want something in life, they need to get of their ass and get it themselves.

Tell them that North Korea is accepting new citizens if they need a country where government “takes care of them”

I'm working on it right now. It's still in the early stages as I work on the interface. I plan on collecting contact info as well so we can express our opinions to these cretins. www.HypocriteLibs.org

I don’t bother arguing with these nutcases. They are incapable of reasoning or logic. Any time I’ve tried to argue a point with them, it always denigrates to a personal attack on myself.

In fact, my husband finds it entertaining to tell liberals at the start it’s not worth arguing with them because of their emotionalism, or the fact that they are inherently Communist. You should see the smoke blow out of their ears!

Actually they are setting up a straw man and you are letting them, Fox News repeatedly wins awards for is objectivity in news reporting. It really is the ONLY unbiased source of news. The things that enrages the lefties is the opinions of Sean Hannity and others. That is the difference, on Fox Opinion is clearly stated on the MSM it is front page. This is why they are terminally biased and dying. Good Riddance

The LAtte Times knows all about manufacturing "truth":

The composite was a front page photo.

And it makes it appear that the soldier with the raised gun and hand is saying "halt" to the man with his boy.

The only thing that will change their mind is personal realization that their life will adversely be affected

Either financially or physically

They are all stupid in that they think they will be above the fray
