Sounding like a crusader, Bob Dole implored his audience today to "rise up" against the nation's news organizations, which he said {duh} were protecting the Clinton Administration, and be outraged that President Clinton had, in Mr Dole's words, violated the public trust {duh p2}.

Mitt need not wait for desperation to go after the MSM Axis of Mendacity aka TV, Print and Internet--he can do it now cuz Dole did not have the refulgent Fair and Balanced New Media we have now... ...with every Leftist premise some Leftist journolist tries to hand him he should say, Oh, you are one of Obama's boys before he answers... ...this time it will work.
Based on the tape of reporters colluding on the “must ask” questions, the debates must be rethought so that the moderators do not simply use it as another avenue to “get Mitt/Ryan”.
Let the candidates pose questions to each other and the moderator simply announce when “time” has been exceeded or possibly to call out a candidate for talking out of turn.
As all the debates will be moderated by Leftist Obama sycophants I suggest Mitt and Paul use their opening remarks to quote a few of the more damning excerpts of the liberal bias of their moderators before they go on...
...the remaining debates will then have Super Bowl ratings.
I agree it has become absolutely necessary to go after the mainstream media. Conservatives should be running against not only their Democrat opponent, but their enablers in the press.
More importantly, it is long past time to stop treating the leftist media as any more legitimate than conservative new media trying to grow and compete. No more should conservatives give the Washington Post preference over the the Washington Times. Same holds true in New York. Why is the NY Times treated like the end all be all of journalism by conservatives? The NY Post and Sun should be treated equally.
The new media has given conservatives a voice, but it has also had the effect of pushing the dinosaur media even further left. We need to stop pretending there is such a thing as unbiased media. The current MSM, with very few exceptions, are the leftist outlets. Now it is time for conservatives to help grow the right of center media to compete on equal ground with them.
Just ask Newt how they should handle this. You can’t be “Mr. Nice Guy” with these Hard Core Media Lefties. I swear the Modern Media is more like old Soviet Pravda than any William Randolph Hearst produced. We need Conservative Media to replace these hack organs of Progressiveness.
Here’s an idea. Newt Gingrich gets to make the opening remarks to quote a few of the more damning excerpts of the liberal bias of their moderators before they go on. Nobody does it like Newt. He just doesn’t give a damn about hurting their feelings.
Although the RNC and Priebus like to whine about media bias they agreed to debates moderated by the biggest bias offenders.
He was fond of ending many press conferences with, “But what does it matter, you boys are going to write whatever you want anyway.”
Mitt should make Newt his press secretary?
Now THAT would be fun.
This country cannot be saved until the MSM is destroyed.
” This country cannot be saved until the MSM is destroyed.”
I was thinking the same thing when I awoke just a few minutes ago ( 6:42 a.m. Japan time now ) , and was going to start a thread asking how we could do it . Well , any ideas ?
All the GOP candidates need do is go after the Obamamedia claw and fang as the running dogs of their socialist opponents...
...we all scream in horrific frustration cuz our only hopes to stop the evil America wasting Leftist agenda of the Marxist monster in chief are feckless and clueless RINOs of the GOP-e...
...Gawd, I so wish they could have a clue just long enough to win and then go away and leave America to those who actually love her and her constitution!

For a start we need to defund them and Hollywood. That means not buying enemy newspapers or magazines and not watching their news shows. Same thing for movies. If you really need to see a film get it from bit torrent for free and they wont get a dime from you.
