Most MSM employees are skid marks on Journalism’s shorts.

I’ve been saying for a while now, if there’s any bright spot to the Obama Administration, it’s that even in polite conversation the Main Stream Media will have all the credibility of supermarket tabloids.

So, whats the plan? I already gave up network news. I haven't watch that drivel for fourteen years. I don't get a newspaper and haven't for the same fourteen years. (Lewinski opened my eyes). I get my news here on FR. I'm not giving that up. The only thing I could do is not buy the drinks when a NYT reporter hits the bar. But I swore that I wouldn't do that back in 1980.

So once again, what's your plan?

I'd like to believe that but we have come full circle back to he 1839s where the media is NOT responsive to $$ or audience numbers. They are subsidized by big corporations such as GE, so you can't affect them with hits to their bottom line.

They no longer have ethics or morality to appeal to.

Fox can't change them because as we have seen, even when Fox has credible and important news such as Benghazi, it is blacklisted by the other networks.

I don't know the answer.

It doesn’t seem to be hurting them any, not that you would notice anyway. They all look well fed, seem to command high salaries. Their stockholders may be taking it in the shorts, but unfortunately the personalities feeding us all this crap seem to be doing well enough. They seem to have plenty of advertisers. You would think free market forces would be putting some pressure on what the MSM produces.

CLAM, (Censoring Liberal Agenda Media), Corporations such as MSNBC and ABC have been caught in a Collusion Agreement with the White House to fix the National Election, by boycotting reports of the Cowardly actions of Benghazi-Coward Obama.

Why any California voter would chose to vote for proven Coward Obama is beyond me.

Tea Party Patriots protested CNN at their headquarters in downtown Atlanta in 2009 or 2010 (can’t remember which year)—I was there protesting.

MY sign in the protest said: “You won’t see THIS on CNN!”

and...you didn’t.

The MSM needs to be pulled out by their very ROOTS, ridiculed, SUED, and punished for their treasonous works.

ANYONE who votes for Obama has the blood of Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods on their hands, just like Obama and his news media does.

The only reason that I consider employees of the MSM as mere skid marks on Journalism's shorts is simply because MSM employees will not admit their bias.

I recall the days when cities had multiple newspapers.. liberal, conservative, whatever.

Then TV came along and newspapers started folding (d'oh!) and the "Fairness Doctrine" put radio station owners at risk if they permitted conservative opinion on their stations.

Meanwhile liberals virtually owned the media and William F. Buckley's Firing Line one hour a week on PBS was all the fairness conservatives needed, said many in the Establishment.

Well the Fairness Doctrine is gone, the Internet is here, we have modern talk radio, and freedom of the press is back! and the MSM employees hate it.

Every city has their own MSM “talking head” anchor on their local news channel. Usually, they’re held up as some sort of local celebrity.

I once e-mailed one of those “talking head” anchors with a comparison of Katrina survivors demanding cold bottled water with the self sufficient, non-whining victims of the Mid-West’s floods of 2010 (?).

Her response to me?

“Why are you sending me this?”

I don’t think the idiot had a clue.

But my point IS-—contact these cretins; shove their bias in their faces; try to make them think. Don’t just complain about it—take it to the LIARS themselves.

A few thoughts:

We have plenty of blogs and news sites that cater to the converted. We need more conservative controlled media outlets that reach non-conservative and low information voters. They need to be “unbiased” in the same way the Mainstream Media is “unbiased.” Mostly straight news....Sub text is much more powerful than text.

I would guess that more people get their news from TMZ and other infotainment sources than from any “real” news source. Weather, sports, health, and the doings of celebrity vermin are more important than politics to 75% of the population. Anything that gets impressionable eyeballs on our message is a win.

Humor and entertainment are much more effective at relating information than dull news reports. A hilarious YouTube video can get hundreds of thousands to millions of views. That’s more people than watch many news programs and someone watching a video on YouTube is likely more influenceable than an opinionated news junkie that watches a talk show on CNN.

The internet is still destroying the traditional media outlets and lowering the cost of entry. Romney will raise a billion dollars or more for this campaign. If 20% of that much had been raised and spent on giving us a louder voice in the media it would have delivered more results than all the god-awful commercials being aired. Come on Koch brothers, open your wallets....

The internet has a huge hole: Local news. This is what people are most interested in. It is also one of the the richest advertising prizes. This is still an almost totally untapped market that could deliver big results if we made it a priority.

There have been several FReepers that have nailed big names in the media and taken them to the trash heap.. Of course Dan Rather, was the really BIG FISH, but there have been others..

They were more like Minnows, like the time we ganged up on Oberblubber, MSNBS Loudmouth, and got him to shoot off his mouth on TeeVee, and show his thin skin.. That lead to others poke at him, and eventually kicked off.. HA!

We weren’t really trying.. I say we pick these morons off one at a time, and research the Hell out of them until we find their scabs, they all have them.. Most have been so secure they didn’t even try to hide.. Like donating or meeting, and dinners at campaign parties for political fundraisers.. Stuff like that, is a big No NO, lets take them DOWN!!!

Yes, they certainly are going to get away with it! They were lying in 1992 and covering up for reprobate Bill Clinton, supressing all coverage of Whitewater, Arkansas State Troopers, etc.

They pulled a big stunt with Bush’s forged national guard papers, dui at the last minite etc.

They can do anything the want to.

We don't care. We don't have to. We're the phone company drive-by media.
