Thanks go to conservatism_IS_compassion for an outstanding piece on The First Amendment and the media.

The Right To Know

They’re the US Pravda, not the mainstream media, calling them the MSM perpetuates the lie that they’re mainstream.

[Cicero]

Bubba paid them off with a constant stream of cocktail parties, where Washington reporters could socialize every day with Hollywood starlets on the White House lawn.

Then when Bush came in, all the parties were cancelled.

I wonder if Obama will be as generous as the clintons in feting his friends?

In any case, I’m pretty sure he will be even more savage in destroying his enemies. Bubba got at least a dozen reporters fired from their jobs by threatening their bosses with regulatory trouble. Obama will do the same. Clinton was surrounded by the dead bodies of anyone who caused him any grief. I expect the same thing will happen again.

Was that a coincidence that the grandmother he threw under a bus died right before the election, and can never break the silence she preserved while under virtual house arrest during the campaign? Who knows?

Let’s see whether anyone gets a chance to talk to that illegal alien aunt of his, who is evidently being concealed in a safe house somewhere, after the British press discovered her. The American press, of course, couldn’t be bothered to look.

We no longer have a Democracy, we have a Mediocracy.

[alecqss]

Based on available evidence, he is going to offer up the discredited Democratic Party line of higher taxes, bigger government, more regulation, more centralization of governmental power, weaker national defense, weaker national security, a pro-appeasement foreign policy, and decline and disaster for the greatest nation in the history of the world. We bought Mr. Obama and now we must move urgently to minimize the damage his administration will inflict.

It will be brutal. Their first (and probably only) major task will be to exterminate any dissent. Whether dissent is eliminated or not as a threat to their power, all disasters of Obama administration will be blamed on the sabotage anyway. "Saboteurs" will always be quickly chosen and promptly punished...

 700 million reported.
 700 million under the table (estimate)
2800 million value of media bias over that for Mccain (estimate)

$4.2 BILLION ... Yes, Obama bought the election.

[reagan_fanatic]

In my view, the Internet revolution did not elect Mr. Obama. The bias, dishonest and fraudulent reporting and editorializing of the mainstream media elected Mr. Obama.

I have a hard core liberal I work with. We were debating the election results a few days back, and I told her point-blank that it was the media who elected Obama. For someone who always has an answer to everything, she remained strangely mute over this one. Even the devoted Obama lovers know they could not have won this election without the media's help.

[marron]

The media isn’t “biased” toward the DNC, the media “is” the DNC. The longer we go on complaining about media “bias” the longer we avoid facing the reality of it and the longer we delay doing anything about it.

The media “is” the DNC, its a major part of its leadership, and a major client, and a major part of its base. When you tune in the TV, you’re tuning in DNC central.

Its been like this for decades, and we continue to complain without doing anything about it.

So, where is our media? Where are our communications networks? The socialists have done the slow hard work of building or taking control of all the various infrastructure of the information war. Schools and universities? Almost a DNC monopoly. Entertainment media? Likewise. News agencies? Same same.

Crying about it isn’t going to solve it. Solving it means you take control of your kids’ education, you turn off the DNC’s media, and start to find and build alternate communications networks. And use them. And freeze out the DNC propaganda hacks. Are we really going to send another wave of Republican politicians to genuflect before the likes of Whoopi Goldberg? Katie Couric? Is it possible to be more self-loathing than that?

[weps4ret]

I keep bringing up Ayn Rand and her writtings. She predicted this whole press mess in “Fountain Head”.

Which then leads to “Atlas Shrugged”.

The so-called Mainstream Media has always been in the tank for leftist politicians because of their own leftist bent, but they really went over the cliff in the aftermath of the 2000 election. This became quite clear after 9/11, when the GWB admin began to formulate the military response to the attacks. From the very beginning of the Afghanistan campaign in fall 2001, the media did its part to spread defeatism and demoralization regarding the war effort and especially the commander-in-chief.

If GWB had done exactly what Harry Truman did at the beginning of the Korean War; ie. impose strict censorship on all reporting in war zones, the steady erosion of support for the war effort would likely have been prevented. And prosecution of leakers of classified information would have helped as well. The public would no doubt have supported such measures, and the 'Rats would probably not be in the position they are today.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

It is tedious, a twice-told tale.

I subscribed to the AIM Report back during the Carter Administration, but let my subscription lapse because I was convinced. All each issue was was one more example of media bias piled on an already heaping pile. At some point the only thing that matters is not whether by why - and what can be done about it?

And you are familiar with my vanity post, The Right to Know, which is the result to date of my examination of those questions.

[AuntB]

“I view it as perhaps the central issue of our time, as the mainstream media is so distorting the political world and so deceiving the public that it is actually in the process of destroying our democratic institutions.”

And until we address that situation, it’s only going to be more of the same.

[TaxRelief]

the Internet revolution wasn't responsible for electing Mr. Obama

Well it sure played a part...

I signed up for both campaigns. The daily emails from Dem candidates were energising and exciting. McCains emails were pessimistic and angry.

Two emails from Oct 29:

To the McCain Community:

Barack Obama and Joe Biden have consistently lied to Americans about John McCain's plan. Their claims have failed every fact check from CBS to the Washington Post. John McCain is not going to raise taxes on middle class families. Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the only ones in this race that plan to raise taxes. Their recent attacks have become increasingly misleading. Read the fact sheet below or click here to learn the truth about the McCain-Palin Health Care Plan.

Sincerely,

Doug Holtz-Eakin
Senior Policy Advisor
McCain-Palin 2008

Dear Friend,

Let's get right to it. With one week before Election Day, these three great members of Congress need your help right now.

Kirsten Gillibrand was one of the earliest volunteers in my first race for the Senate back in 2000 helping to organize Women for Hillary. In 2006, she unseated a Republican incumbent in upstate New York; now she faces a tough campaign in her first reelection.

Pennsylvania's Paul Kanjorski is facing a barrage of negative attacks from Republicans desperate to win his seat. He's a great friend who works hard on behalf of the people in his district; now he needs our help.

And Joe Sestak -- also from Pennsylvania -- is a retired admiral who worked in the White House during Bill's administration. Like Kirsten, he defeated a Republican in 2006, and we need to make sure he wins his race this year so he can continue to speak out for sensible national security policies on behalf of the men and women of our armed forces.

These three friends have been on the front lines fighting for us, and with Barack Obama in the White House they can help put America back on the right path.

...

I'm so proud to have had the opportunity to work with you, and I know that your friendship and support will continue to make a difference for me and for America in the years to come.

Thank you so much,
Hillary

Frightening to see happening but no shock to any conservative who saw the events firsthand. We all know how outrageous and dangerous Obama and the DemocRATs are but now we must act! We must keep up with the legislative bodies in DC, too much is accomplished with hidden agendas and votes. It is up to us to see which laws are being proposed and covered up by the leftists, we expose them, we fight against them with e-mails, mass protestation in the form of phone calls, this has worked before and the Pravda arm was unable to do a thing about it. No time left for pity-partys, the time to act is now.

[Doc Savage]

Sorry, it’s above my pay grade!
