"...Obama has been a media darling since 2004, but prior to that NOBODY had heard of him"


Yet another reason to overthrow the liberal media mavens and their RINO syncophants...I wonder how well his approval ratings would be if he got 10% of the grilling GWB or RWR received.

I have basically sworn off all nation network news (except Fox on ocassion)and since I am trying to keep my blood pressure in check I don't read the NYTIMES, BOSTON GLOBE, WASHINGTONPOST et al. Between FR and the rest of the net I am still far more better informed than my peers who continue to be addicted to media take junk food

I agree and bringing that up made me wonder if there is anything that could be done within the conservatives serving and the actual conservative journalists/anaylists/consultants where the boycott NBCCBSABCCNNNYTWP etc. in the same way that the Dem Prez candidates boycotted Fox for debates. It seems like us not watching or reading is effective or as effective as is necessary.

Could we bring pressure to bear on those people to stop helping create an 'impression of bipartisanship' by appearing on those media?

I know they'd still get their David Brooks, Peggy Noonans, David Frums, McCains, Snowes, Collins, et al. but what if some of the actual conservative Senators and Representatives stopped appearing and made a 'big news media event' of it on Fox, and boycott the MSM for future debates.

I also understand that it may seem to be political suicide for some and perhaps that argument has validity but something has to be done to get out of the head lock that the MSM has on candidates and also on their audience. They picked 'our' candidate this last time as well as theirs and neither Hillary nor McCain/Palin stood a chance, really.
