In case anyone just arrived from Mars, the mainstream media wants Mitt Romney to fail in his quest for the White House.
Surprised?
They will do whatever possible as legitimate journalists to collaborate with the Obama re-election campaign shamefully so.
(Snip)
The mainstream media is in the tank for Obama. Every student journalism can recognize that. Its too late for most already involved professionally. Most of them have already violated most of the ethical rules and sold their souls to Obama long ago.
As a journalism graduate from the University of Oregon, I am personally ashamed.

That's a fact, the New York Slimes had more than one reporter inside Rat lauded Soviet Russia and squelched reports of work camp, gulag, and collective farm genocides completely under Stalin.
Then the Communist infiltrated Rats crucified Joe McCarthy with MSM help. Unfortunately, McCarthy was not a competent advocate of anti communism, and made many mistakes in his endeavor.
Bttt.
full knee pads in front of an empty chair....
The MSM is more than biased, it is a corrupt propaganda machine. In a very real sense it has become a threat to our democracy.
This is fully explained by Lenin's classification of those that help advance socialism (which always progresses to it's end stage of full blown Communism).
Useful idiots.
In fact, this is EXACTLY accurate. The end benefit for Useful Idiot journalists is to be no longer useful, just as all other Useful Idiots.
Once the Communist inner circle have consolidated power and removed any means of removing them, all Useful Idiots are no longer useful.
The useless are liquidated so as to use less of the ever decreasing resources that are no longer produced under communism.
The most often expressed plea in Soviet Gulags was: "Comrade Stalin save me", and it was always ignored as it came from the useless.
He’s right about Hillary. She’s going to get a pass all the way out the door to retirement. But the truth is what it is.
She bears the responsibility for under performance and SEALS are dead along with a US ambassador and a sacked embassy, all left utterly sitting ducks. Deriliction of duty by the “smartest woman in the room” touting “smart power”, in a department whose first duty is protecting and defending foreign staff and embassies.
Do they teach Propaganda 101 in journalism school today, in preparation for a career in the Mainstream Media?
Amen. You cannot have a free people and a controlled media.
Yep. I came to that conclusion myself - they only have the power you grant them. Unfortunately a lot of people are far more trusting than they should be, and tend to grant them a power they possess merely by being celebrities.
What do they get out of it?
That's a far sadder thing. What they get out of it is membership in good standing of the ruling class. They get access. They get awards. They get the awe and adulation of the ignorant. In the Soviet Union they were the nomenklatura, the people who dictated what people thought by shaping what they said. It is the tripartate corruption of vanity, power and wealth. That's what they get, and it's worth it.
What happens when it all falls apart, though? Occasionally the senior members of the ruling class who don't run fast enough - Mussolini, Ceausescu, Louis XVI - occasionally they end up strung up in public, but generally not. What happens when it all comes down is that the visible, notorious, middle members of that class take up the brunt of public anger and their place on the guillotine. And what typifies them in history is that they never see it coming. Haste the day.
Yep.
Good one !
True. In “The New Left”, a book of Ayn Rand essays, she has one that compares how the media glowingly reported on the Woodstock Festival compared to how they reported on the Moon Landing, talking of how “small” we now were, more than focusing on the greatness of the feat.
