You’re right. It’s sickening how the the media has long abused both their power and the trust that the average American somehow still places in them. And they are hardly ever held accountable. The world needs to wake up and realize that the press can be as powerful as any branch of government....and just as corrupt.

Here in the US they have all but declared a propaganda war on half its citizens and we desperately need leaders who are willing to fight back. President Bush kept trying to win them over with kindness but that never worked. As with all bullies, it only emboldened them. The only way to get them to back off is to stand up to them. Gingrich has been one of the few to do just that. Others need to follow his lead.

Put them on the defensive. Break down the trust between the public and the press. Make them have to earn it back again by going equally hard after both sides.

Easier said than done. But playing nice hasn’t worked. It’s time we played hardball.

There's only one way to do it. As much as these news networks (ABC,CBS,NBC, etc) espouse and propagandize for Obama, dims and their socialism they are in fact corporations. The only way you hurt them or get their attention is in the pocketbook. I personally refuse to watch anything on the alphabet networks as a matter of principle because of the propaganda they let their news shows spew. Do you think they notice that? It would take a massive amount of people giving them notice and tuning them out to send a message. That's not going to happen.
