It’s not going to stop until it’s made to stop, The lunatics are running the asylum.

This country is on the fast track to becoming a nation of degenerate reprobates with no integrity, honor, pride or shame.

Can’t add a thing to that, and well said.

Helen Thomas really surprised me tho. I know she often ‘got’ W, but she really is starting to awaken to what’s happening.

They will just shrug it off as “she’s old”, maybe ‘force’ her to retire, or God forbid we’ll hear about the ‘passing’ of such a legend.

These are interesting times.

She said, "...you're trying to control (the media), we have never had that in the White House." Gibbs giggled and tried to mow over the top of Helen Thomas. She then chided, "I'm amazed, at you people who call for openness and transparency, that you control..." Then the three of them batted this thing around for awhile, and none were satisfied in the end. Oh wait, Gibbs did suggest that they have this conversation at a later date, but the ornery Helen Thomas told him, "No, we're having it now, it's a pattern. You are controlling the press."

Gibbs proved her accusation.

I get my news from talk radio, Christian radio, and Drudge links.

And FreeRepublic.com !!!

At what point, seriously my fellow Americans, does it cross over from being a problem of the MEDIA, into an endemic problem with THE CULTURE and THE REPUBLIC (as we are coming to know it).

I believe popular media and popular culture are rather symbiotic, and feed off each other--they almost mirror each other and energize each other. It is also a simple issue of 需要と供給 (supply and demand). US TV Networks in the 1970s dropped extensive, educative moon mission coverage/pre-empts/live remotes sometime around or after Apollo 14, because (even though the missions were getting so much more exciting and into science), Joe Sixpack had had enough and was bored and simply wanted to turn the channel. America wants to turn the channel. They want to turn it from one of being an informed, active, patriotic, sober citizenry, engaged and intelligent on matters of wide importance and variety--and turn "Beavis and Butthead". They want to turn it from reponsibility and depth to the sweet mental opium of insular, carefree fantasy where thinking is unecessary. It is probably going to get a lot worse than this. Our enemies abroad, many of them with 2,000, or 3,000 years of history to their own names, will be able to predictively read us and our inner, rotting core better than many of us can.

As always, the Americans may well be the last on the block to know. And how appropriate for us to have this Barack Hussein Obama, and pied piper, to lead us all as a nation over this cliff and into the abyss?

And these MSM elitists can’t understand why their ratings are plummeting and their circulations are falling.

Exihibit A: The coverage of Michael Jackson

[DirtyHarryY2K]

You’re right my FRiend. We’re past the tipping point. People better wake up.

[montanajoe]

I’d be willing to bet the Michael Jackson thing got great ratings..

[Tzimisce]

Right on.

[smokingfrog]

They don’t REPORT the news, they CONTROL and DISTORT the news.

[Vigilanteman]

The enemedia needs to take note of the fate of Julius Streicher, the ardent promoter of naziism who grew so extreme that even Hitler fired him. Yet, he laid so much of the philisophical foundation for that sorry regime that Nuremberg refused to spare his life.

[HerrBlucher]

Yup, “we distort, fabricate, and ignore, you decide.”

[2CAVTrooper]

I’m fed up with the broadcast and paper media in this country.

For the past several weeks my local paper The Montgomery Advertiser has been pushing a far left agenda.

They’ve had op-eds calling for reductions in military spending to which the money could be “better served” bailing out people trapped in adjustable rate mortgages, and providing healthcare, etc.

Then on July 3rd they had one that slammed the right and it’s extremist factions.

Today they had one telling people to ignore the fearmongering of the right when it comes to healthcare.

It’s been non-stop and those few conservatives who are lucky enough to get their short letter to the editor published find that at least a third of what they said was cut out.

The paper has blocked me from submitting letters to the editor online, and they flat out ignore all of the other submissions I’ve sent in They refused to post my counterpoint (which is at the bottom of my profile BTW) to Steven Cobbel’s Op-Ed “GOP, Blue Dogs hypocritical on defense” (May 21, 2009). Yet they allow anyone to post an Op-Ed as long as it suits their agenda.

[a fool in paradise]

Even Dennis Miller (a relatively mainstream and middle of the road figure) is now calling out CNN as being on par with Pravda when it comes to truthfulness and objectivity (imagine what he might say if he viewed CNN Internationale, the farther Left incarnation of CNN).

[JCG]

The enemedia needs to take note of the fate of Julius Streicher, the ardent promoter of naziism who grew so extreme that even Hitler fired him.

The mention of Streicher reminds me of something I read today that's just incredible. According to Debbie Schlussel's blog, MJ's kids are Jews. Apparently their (alleged?) mother is Jewish as is the (alleged?) actual sperm donor, Dr. Arnold Klein.

Didja get that, Jermaine?

I can’t figure how they put up with Lou Dobbs over there at CNN.. He does a good job on the amnesty sham.

Excellent article, thanks.

Once upon a time, some people were given the freedom to be individuals rather than property. At first they liked it and enjoyed it. But, it was hard work and the lazy and undisciplined soon learned how to mooch from those who did work hard. Eventually, there were more moochers than workers and the moochers were able to take over the police power of the state. Then, they crushed the workers until there were very few workers left and everyone was poor. Well, almost everyone. The elite 5% stayed behind the curtain and hid their money off shore so when the free society collapsed, they could harvest the pieces and preserve themselves while the other 95% wallowed in poverty.
