Remember that Hannity and O’reilly and Beck (and plenty of others) are not journalists and will freely admit that. They are opinion shows and they have on guests to help people form opinions. This format seems to be gaining in popularity while many of the “journalism” shows are struggling and failing.
People can often tell when they’re being told the truth and when they’re being lied to, even if they can’t clearly articulate what it is that makes them believe or doubt the veracity of what they hear. And once credibility is lost it’s very hard to regain. A bitter lesson for Dan Rather to learn.
Not unlike the dinomedia does while masquerading as journalists. Many of these journalists are such hard wired libtards they don't even KNOW they're out there in the ozone layer somewhere. And the ones that do know it, are such hard wired brats they are going to try their level best to force the world conform to their childish ideals. Then of course there are the hard wired commies who just want to destroy our country and our culture.
Their advantage comes in their heartfelt appeals to the unwashed's sensibilities. They are so attached to their utopian ideals it allows them to present very compelling arguments to the unsuspecting observer. Nothing can break through their internal defenses. Denial is their code, it ain't just a river in Egypt.
Do something. We need to become the media. Preaching to the choir here is of very limited value. Whining is not at all productive. It is a leftist thing.
I have heard of CNS - http://cnsnews.com/ - I’ve bookmarked them. Don’t you think Politico is better than Huff Po or DU though? The whole key for groups like that is if they bring on conservatives to their management. If they don’t, forget about it.
Fox news is better than nothing

Hannity
Beck
Napalitano
Better than nothing.

You can also support the vendors on conservative media, and tell them where you saw their ads:
CNS
FR
Newsmax
Washington Times (for all its warts) - which other dailies are still OK?
Libtards are essentially spoiled brats that want to change the world to their liking, whereas conservatives generally are willing to take on the world as it comes. Conservatives therefore don’t have the same drive to push their “agenda” on others. This of course leaves conservatives at a distinct disadvantage in any war of words.

This is a very salient point. We can no longer leave the town square - or the town halls (don’t we know) to the libtards.
I’d encourage other FReepers to expand your bases of knowledge in all forms of communication so that we can be a stronger voice in the future.

There is a pretty good listing of blogs, news and political sites right on our FR home page:

I meant Fox “NEWS” as in the “news coverage” aspect of Fox News Channel. Although Hannity & co. are restrained and Beck is sticking his neck WAY out there & Fox may at some point decide to cut it off. We'll see. I'd LOVE to be wrong here.
The lib media is nosferatu. They will die only when forced, with stakes, garlic, holy water, and beheading.
To assume otherwise is to adopt the Start Trek red-shirt attitude.

Right. But it’s kind of like the editorial board at a newspaper being very telling about the news division and general prediliction of the paper. I hope Beck survives also. He’s a grassroots leader.
What do you think of Hannity keeping open a run for POTUS?
