Hitler did exactly the same thing. He sent his Brown shirts out.

The major networks and MSNBC/CNN are little more than branches of Obama’s Ministry of Propaganda. However they are still in the business to make money and broadcasting Obama’s sominex is about as profitable as broadcasting North Korean music videos extolling the Dear Leader. I think it is laughable that they continue kowtow to the likes of Rahm Emmanual despite it costing them viewership.

The alphabet networks are making Goebbels look like a piker.

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
Pastor Martin Niemöller

Community and individuality are not opposites. People cannot survive on their own. When the odds are stacked against you, you must rally with the oppressed and hated.

When a growing oppressive regime is taking hold, you must act, otherwise you will soon face your enemy alone and hopeless.

Strength of community is a strength as much as individualism, as long you are willing to face weaknesses in your own community. Ignoring slacking values will mean that you will be rallied against by those you oppress.

Niemöller affirms we must rally against unhealthy organized regimes. We must also stay vigilant with those that appear to be good natured, as all organisation attracts corruption. Niemöller also warns us that if it is you who are corrupt, then you will face a stronger combined force of foe!

Didn’t he already do this when he granted one network access for a 60 minute health care commercial? I think it was ABC.

We need to KNOW how much of the stolen (stimulus) money went directly to the NEW YORK media monopoly.

Kill cable unless a FOX only package is offered!

I happen to agree the networks are now arms of propaganda for Hussein.

Nevertheless, despite their committment to create more worshipers for his cult, I DO think they also are growing tired of the frequency of his desires for obedience.

There might be trouble afoot.

Why don’t the REPUBLICANS have a request pending...asking for time to respond to Hussein’s addresses? Maybe one day later, maybe one hour later. Maybe the Republicans can buy ad time—offer to help reimburse the networks....try to make a friend or two....and refute Hussein’s lies.

Of course, they’d have to have some CREATIVITY to do that.

And they’re going to have to do it without my money. They’ve quit sending me solicitations and calling me....maybe they’ve gotten the message.

Get a pair of ballz, Republicans, and I’ll consider coming back.

The slugs in the media will keep worshiping their master no matter what. The ends justify the means.

Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post reports that when networks began fussing over broadcasting yet another Obama snoozefest, Emanuel called not the programming chiefs, but the heads of parent companies in an effort to pressure networks to greenlight his boss’s show.

Does anyone know just what *pressure* was applied, what the specifics to the strong-arming were?

Well, who know? Maybe NBC got screwed, but corporate parent GE will probably get piles of Green Energy money for their cooperation.

And ABC may get screwed, but Disney World will probably get some extra infusions of gay holiday celebrators.

And maybe CBS got a promise that if Dan Rather wins his lawsuit, Sotomayor will throw it out at the top level.

These guys know better than to disobey The Master.
