I nearly choked on my chicken when I saw Bernie, the Watergate, pro Gore, and recount guy on Fox talking about of all things LIBERAL BIAS. This guy has made his fame on media bias. All I could hope is that he finally has seen the light, and wants to enter the pearly gates with a clear conscience. His book must be awesome because he understands better than anybody the way liberals think. He’s supported them for the past 40 years. I’m almost skeptical, like he’s just yankin Hannity’s chain. It’s all a big joke. We’ll see.
Yep. And those media who stray from the party line will be disciplined, derided, and mocked by the others until they fall back in line. In the bad old days Rush recounted of three networks and CNN they'd spy on one another to make sure that nobody reported anything unique. They still do. It's lazy, corrupt, and irresponsible journalism, but the old standard hasn't changed.
Off subject but when did you serve in the Marines? I ask because my Dad was a Korea Marine ‘51 -’52.
Rush hit the nail squarely on the head.
Until he's silenced.
Zer0 and his minions won't let Rush or Glenn or Mark or any of the other voices who refuse to sing hosannas to the messiah be heard for much longer.
My father was in the Marines from 1943 to 1965. I was in the Army, serving at I Corps (ROK/US) Group, the 2nd (”Indianhead”) United States Infantry Division, the 1st Cavalry Division and the 5th (Mechanized)(”Red Devils”) Infantry Division. So my name here refers to the Army’s 2nd Division, not the Marine division. What unit was your dad in, in Korea?
Rush better be careful. If anything, 2008 has proven that the MSM's audience is vast and powerful. The MSM and its vast audience was able to catapult it's wussybama into orbit.
I've been underestimating the MSM since 2004.
2006 should have been a wake-up call for me, and it should have been a wake up call for Rush and all Conservatives, too. But we didn't answer the call. Instead, we slept through it, and woke up to this nightmare that we call 2008. Rush's statement above is proof that he still underestimates the MSM.
We've got to stop underestimating the MSM enemy. Underestimating the enemy is one of the biggest no-no's in the strategy playbook.
It's time to take the MSM seriously, as if it was a matter of life and death.
There are some on this board who blame GW Bush for Obamas win ....a very poor understanding of the world
Barack Obama is the Donovan McNabb of politics.
No, IMHO no one underestimated the MSM. They just had an ace in the hole.
The Donkeycrats candidate for President was black. I was amazed at how many rational, normally conservative Republican black folk voted for Obama simply because of his perceived race.
And fraud was rampant. Even Hillary Clinton was defeated in Indiana by election fraud in places like Gary, Indiana.
2008 was a very dirty election.
What would constitute having "answered the call"?
I keep reading things like this, but have no idea what could've been done differently.
Excellent comparison Lancey. Neither of the two of them would be where they are but for one thing. Well two things when you add in white guilt.
It may be wishful thinking, but ... his arrogance and the ongoing camouflage provided by the media will indeed combine to make him think he can walk on water. From that point on, it is just a matter of time before he goes in over his head.
McNabb’s a good quarterback. He’s not as good as the media makes him out to be, but he’s good. Limbaugh helped and hurt McNabb with his comment. A lot of people never understood exactly what Limbaugh said, but the sports media did. Limbaugh said the sports media was racist, in that they were rooting for a black quarterback to be successful. After he made that comment, McNabb HAD to be a great quarterback, because the sports media couldn’t allow Limbaugh to be right about them.
Goldberg has been on the right side for several years, although he still says he’s a liberal on social issues. He was drummed out of the left for daring to question the lock-step mentality, and that has made him more and more conservative. Olbermann declared Goldberg his “worst person” tonight, calling him a liar, etc., etc. There’s nothing the far left hates more than a lib who finally sees the right.
I agree about Goldberg. He says all the right things, but something about him just seems slimy.
