BIASED? YOU THINK? OVERHEARD AMONG THE MSM

As you might have heard, I am covering the McCain/Palin appearance today. At the media breakfast at the Pfister Hotel about an hour ago, you would simply not believe the vicious, nasty conversation I just overheard between several "elite" media types from the McClatchey news service, AP, and a couple of other sources I didn't quite catch.

Over the course of just a few minutes, I heard.... that he and Lou Dobbs are "mean-spirited sycophants," and that McCain himself is "angry" and "crusty." One even recalled a recent campaign event at which Sarah Palin autographed a supporter's Bible, prompting this "objective" journalist to remark "these people terrify me."

Not at all surprised, this election cycle, some of them have said as bad or worse on the air. But they’re funny, calling anyone a “sycophant”, when they’ll need a crowbar to dislodge their lips from Obama’s rear.

Here’s an idea: Any Freepers who attend a McCain/Palin event should bring tape recorders and stand near the press. It shouldn’t be hard to catch these people and their comments on tape. Then we can post the recording on FR and YouTube and further expose them for the lying hypocrites they are.

The feeling is mutual.

I should think that most vampires would be repulsed by a Bible.

Three networks and two cable networks are pro socialism. All the print media is pro socialism. The education system is pro socialism. What will it take for the good guys to run.

Before 2000 they mainstream media use to hide their democratic bias. Now it's gotten to the point of pure derangement that Bush won twice. If McCain wins look for heads to explode live on MSNBC. We are in a battle for the future of our republic.

McClatchy is one of the fastest fading news outlets around. Oh, and their bias does show in their reporting.

How dare Palin authograph a book that does not proclaim Obama as the Messiah!?

“these people terrify me.” If Palin terrifies him, what does he think of Ayers, Wright, and Odinga?

“Three networks and two cable networks are pro socialism. All the print media is pro socialism. The education system is pro socialism. What will it take for the good guys to run.”

You’ve nailed it, and socialism will be America’s future. It’s a matter of when, not if. Socialists will take control, completely screw things up, but put controls in place to keep power.

There will be a very high price, paid in blood if Americans decide they want to revert back to a capitalist republic.

Conservatives are not without guilt. We’ve run from the school systems, allowing the socialists to continue their take over at an accelerated pace.
We have corporate excutives without morals, unethically linked to their boards of directors such that they make capitalism at it’s biggest scale look like a corrupt cash grab for the few.

It’s ironic that the greatest generation gave birth to the worst.
