A year or so ago I saw Chris Wallace interview John Stewart on the subject of media bias.
It was hugely disappointing. John Stewart had all the liberal talking points down pat (basically denying there was any bias at all) and Chris Wallace seemed to have never been to newsbusters.org... not even once.
Part of the problem is what passes for competence on our side is often not very competent at all.
And since our side is so poorly represented in the media, this is a big, big problem.
The reverse is also true and even more valid.
The left is associated with communism, naziism and socialism and everything that wants to control and demean man and encumber his personal freedom.
I read that Brian Ross has herpes, but I can’t confirm if its the same Brian Ross who works for ABC News.
It is now clear that ABC news intentionally misrepresent Holmes’ mother’s comment. About Holmes, she specifically told them she did not know if the shooter was her son.
When asked earlier if she was the mother of a James Holmes she’d replied in the early morning after just being awakened: “you’ve got the right one.” She was referring to herself.
ABC intentionally ignored her comment about not knowing if the shooter was her son in order to give the impression that she had some inner sense at the time that the shooter was her son: “you’ve got the right one.”
That isn’t just misguided. It is intentional misrepresentation.
Ross is ostensibly an “Investigative Reporter”. Ask yourself: if you Google James, Jim, Jimmy Holmes or any combination, how many people in this Country would pop up with that name - literally thousands. So if this is an example of his “Investigative” skills, he should be fired for incompetence alone! This also shows clearly how when you get so-called “Reporters” with an ax to grind, your so-called “News” organization lacks all credibility. Of course by putting former klinton paid apologist and Chief Popaganda Minister, Georgie Stephanopoulos front and center, credibility is way down the list of priorities.
The free press that our Founders envisioned as a bastion against an overweaning government has self-destructed into a monotheistic religion who’s god is liberal statism. It is a heavy loss to our body politic that is barely being offset by the alternate media outlets.
Brian Ross had to go no further than to find someone with the same name as the shooter who was a member of the TEA Party...likely by a Google search...and in his liberal mind no further verification was necessary.
More than ever before, colleges push liberal ideology. Most of these stupid college attendees swallow this bunk whole. Most intelligent students who have a grasp on reality can see through this, sooner or later. They will question and eventually discard their newfound liberal beliefs.
There is another type of student, who swallows whole the liberal ideology, yet is too intelligent to ignore reality. Instead of discarding their new belief system, they cling to it, facing cognitive dissonace, which can cause real mental illness.
Like Holmes, Ted Kasinsky(sp?) was another intellectual who couldn't cope with reality intruding into his liberal world.
This is what mystifies me. The Left used to insist that there was no such thing as good and evil (people who believed in good and evil were "old fashioned" and maybe mentally ill). And now suddenly they're white knights fighting something they used to insist didn't exist?
At least back then they were consistent. Liberals insist that the earth is nothing but a completely inconsequential speck lost in a vast, meaningless, and uncaring universe. Of course in this case good and evil don't exist. So why do they now suddenly believe in a dualistic war between good and e--vil? The earth is as insignificant and meaningless as ever (other than the claim that it's now a "gxddess" and should be worshiped), but now these acolytes of meaninglessness are crusaders against evil? That's insane!
