The Liberal Media’s Favorite “Republican
Accuracy in Media ^ | September 13, 2009 | Cliff Kincaid

The demonstrators were mostly against Big Government, but many banners and signs on display during the 9-12 march and rally in Washington, D.C. expressed disgust with liberal media bias. One of the harshest was, "Mainstream media: communists or puppets?"

Another said, "Why are the watchdogs White House lapdogs?" One of the most direct, equating liberal news outlets to state-run media, was "AP, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC=Pravda."

Still another said simply, "Shame on Mainstream Media!"

On the other hand, television and radio talk-show host Glenn Beck was a hero, as the "Glenn Beck for President" sign illustrated. Several signs declared "Thank God for Fox News Channel," on which Beck appears.

PRAVDA has been more accurate than any of the “American” MSM.

The Marxist Steaming Media once again showed its bias for the annoited one with their “oh by the way” coverage about Saturday’s Nationwide event (s).

For the million five plus people who assembled in DC, probably another million assembled in every state capital and many other cities on 9-12. The more they spin the truth, the more people discover the MSM is no longer a credible source for any news.
Their advertisers need to be VERY concerned. People aren’t buying into the lies and deceptions any more. And they won’t buy products from the advertisers either.

We cannot have a Republic with a one-sided communist media! Just as the “mob” of concerned citizens in the movie “Frankenstein” pursued the monster, and ultimately burned the windmill to the ground, so must we, VICARIOUSLY, of course, burn the traitorous media to the ground. We can take a page from their communist playbook and ignore them, marginalize them, and not purchase their biased newsproduct.
I cancelled my newspaper the day after the election! They have usurped their role as watchdog, and no longer deserve the protection of the First Amendment.
They have reported whatever the congress and administration wanted them to report, calling us a “mob”, “domestic terrorists” and “unamerican”. WHAT CAN BE MORE UN-AMERICAN THAN A COMMUNIST IN THE WHITE HOUSE! Now it’s our turn.

Public Trust in Media Accuracy & Fairness Plunges, Liberal v Conservative Bias Gap at 28 Points
NewsBusters ^ | September 14, 2009 | Brent Baker

Posted on Monday, September 14, 2009 6:22:15 AM by Zakeet

“The public’s assessment of the accuracy of news stories is now at its lowest level in more than two decades of Pew Research surveys,” a new poll from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, embargoed for release at 11 PM EDT Sunday night, discovered.

The survey, of 1,506 adults conducted in late July, found “nearly three-quarters (74%) say news organizations tend to favor one side in dealing with political and social issues,” up 21 points from 53 percent 24 years ago, “while just 18% say they deal fairly with all sides.” The percent who perceive the media as liberal versus conservative remains very lopsided, though the difference has increased by 7 points — from 40 percent vs. 19 percent in 1985 to 50 percent vs. 22 percent now, a 28 point split.
