GOOD RIDDANCE
“Insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result. That explains the mindset when journalists are shocked that they keep producing biased news and their industry collapses financially.”

Hollywood is doing the same thing.....may they suffer the same result.
Ditto that!
Well, it was accurate as long as we HAD a free market...
I think they are banking upon The One forcing the public to accept their wretched monopoly product by crushing any and all alternatives.
hey, hey, good-bye . . . .
Good riddance, absolutely.
Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Howell called a similar assessment “simplistic” in a Nov. 2 column but admitted such complaints hold “a grain of truth.”
Ain’t that the way with libs? You know, scientists or tinkerers or engineers looking for a way around a problem or the source of a mystery rejoice when they find a simple “duh” reason behind some anomaly; even if they somehow missed it all this time and now it makes them look sort of stupid for having missed it. The discovery of a fundamental truth or principle underlying a body of science or endeavor is universally a cause for celebration.
But it’s never that way with the libs is it? No, you come up with a simple, nay, primitive, fundamental explanation for something that used to be a puzzle; and the first thing the libs must do is to pooh-pooh the explanation as too simple. It’s just not sophisticated enough. There’s just not enough nuance. It is pure narcissism and egotism. The very idea that a simple solution or answer eluded them must be resisted with all the intellectual effeteism thay can muster. Because if such a simple solution is at hand, why, then all their study, all the term papers they wrote late at night in their sociology classes, all the fake supplication they gave their profs to get their grades, was for naught. Too simple, can’t be right. No, that would mean that lesser intellects could understand this complex, enigmatic issue, and that would undermine the superior position they assume.
Underneath it all, it’s no different than a three year old clutching a toy they are unwilling to share and crying “MIIIIIIINE!!” It’s a tantrum.
We are on our way to Mission Accomplished with the print media. We need a plan for the e-media. It has to include the advertisers and the ratings. How much of the rating tabulations come from the cable box or DVR?
Well, if the Dicksville Gap results are truly an indicator, they’ll all be on Obama’s payroll now. Not a bad gig, just regurgitating government “news” releases to the unwashed masses.
They’re backing Obama BECAUSE they think his administration will turn their numbers around.
When Obama begins attacking Free Speech, the media will have a monopoly again...for a little while.
The problem is Obama will eventually come for them as well...
We are launching a bumper sticker/yardsign campaign after this election: "Have Pride in Your Community: Cancel the slanted rag the Bucks County Courier Times"
Which of course is a newspaper that never met a lib they couldn't boost, or a Republican about whom they couldn't make up bogus stories.
I suggest everyone do the same to their local papers. It is cathartic, and it is the right thing to do.
Also write letters to all advertisers and tell them you will never use their product or service as long as they advertise in a slanted rag.
I cannot believe the drive by media, such as the NY Times, MSNBC, The Washington Post, etc. have so totally squandered their economically valuable credibility supporting a dangerous charaltan like Obama, of all people.
But they willingly and permanently threw away their economic survival.
I will not give one damn dime to the MSM. I boycott their lies and smears. I boycott those businesses that support the MSM by placing ads with them. I guess I am what Obama would call, “selfish”, and am proud of it!

Look we all know the MSM sucks and has for a long time. But why? Why are so many in the Media liberal to far left? What causes this? Was it always so?
I know the types of people who work for the Washington Post and the NY Times. I went to school with a number of them. They are the type of person who thinks they are smart but really aren’t. Most of the reporters and writers of the MSM were liberal before the went to J-school. They went into Journalism to PROMOTE liberal causes, not because they were really interested in real quality Journalism. The Schools of Journalism are a joke. The dummest people major in Journalism. The difference between the kids in Journalism and Physics couldn’t be greater.
So where do we go from here? That’s an interesting question but I really think the blogs are on to something. I read far more interesting and intelligent articles on the blogs than I read than in the MSM. The blogs and talk radio are the future but we must also focus on reporting. We need fair and objective reporting. This won’t be easy and it’s a big task. It’s the subject of future posts.
In a free market, ideas sell...not propaganda.
This election is a referendum on MSM
