Yes they are totally corrupt. The kicker is they combine this with being monstrously stupid.

To the core, It would seem.

YES! When the press becomes the propaganda arm of the government it is corrupt and NO LONGER A FREE PRESS!

To ask that question is to answer it.

The irony lost on the msm is that I don’t know of a single prominent person in the republican party who ever ever slurred Anderson Cooper for his homosexuality. Yet he saw fit to slur the Tea Party with a homosexual vulgarity.

49 percent Republican, 43 percent Independent and 8 percent Democratic

One poll put the libs closer to 40%!

Another Freeper said it best about the left (including the press) when he quoted Gandhi: “First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win!”

Boy, isn’t that the truth. That’s why no one is watching anymore for truthful news. Most people watch to see what bilge the MSM spouts for entertainment value..

Completely corrupt. Totally in the tank for Obama; at least that part of the “press” that we call the MSM.

Nothing but spin machines for the DNC.

They are why we watch Fox. At least Fox looks at both sides, even with their bias, we get more than one point of view.

Heard recently that the Saudi’s own a large amount of stock in Fox’s parent company hence a more go easy attitude recently on the mooslims and geehad. If Fox shuts down...

When the Founding Fathers granted the press privileges beyond those of everyday citizens

Bill, that's a very poorly thought out comment.

Among other things, it's simply not so.

“Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, opposites in political thinking, both loathed the early press in America because it often operated irresponsibly; that is, it was not unusual for money to change hands in the production of a news story.”

___________________________________________________________

GE owns NBC. GE/NBC get 4.3 billion in stimulus money from Obama. Obama is defended, promoted, while ANYONE who is opposed to his policies are political targets. Money is still changing hands as in Jefferson/Adams time. They will not report their own sins and are leading the sheep following Obama to believe he is the only one honest.

Yes, we have Fox, but that is only one station. Many people don't have cable, only ABC, CBS & NBC. They aren't getting any of the truth.

I'm sure the democrats are doing many unlawful things (bribes, lying under oath (what is in health care) stealing money from the American people. We NEED true patriots in the media to expose Obama. They only want to promote him.

I do find peace in the fact that: God knows all, sees all and will judge all.

One poll put the libs closer to 40%!

And this earlier poll had the Tea Parties doing better than either the Democrats or the Republicans:

“WSJ/NBC News Poll: Tea Party Tops Democrats and Republicans
snip-
More than four in 10, 41%, of respondents said they had a very or somewhat favorable view of the Tea Party movement,
-snip-
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party, which controls both the White House and Congress, has a 35% positive rating
-snip-
The Republican Party identifies closest to the Tea Party movement’s ideology, but the group has also caused splits within the GOP. Republicans currently hold a 28% favorability rating”
