Frum: Republicans 'Fleeced, Exploited And Lied To' By 'Conservative Entertainment Complex'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/09/2012 7:29:33 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

David Frum blames the media for Mitt Romney's loss. Not the liberal media, of course--we are talking David Frum, after all. No, Frum blames the conservative media, or as he calls it, "the conservative entertainment complex."

Frum touted his upside-down take on the media during a Morning Joe appearance today while promoting his instant e-book, "Why Romney Lost." Joe Scarborough liked the line so much he asked Frum to repeat it. Frum refused to name names, saying he does so in his book, but there's little doubt whom he was targeting.

Frum is a nimrod, I’ll grant you.

But is he right here?

Rush, you’ll recall, DID NOT predict victory...he was quite realistic about what was happening, IIRC.

But Hannity with Cunnningham? Come on.

The only thing that the conservative media was to yell and scream to not pay attention to those polls. And what made that even worse was conservative media saying that Romney was going to win Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and had a chance for Michigan. The conservatives were probably thrilled and thought oh great why vote? Romney, Ryan and conservative media say we won this already. HUGE MISTAKE to be so sure of themselves. I am sure because of that, we can gather why 3 million stayed home.

Frum wants to be a Democrat, but keep the Republican name.

Just let it go, everybody knows you’re not a conservative David.

Another homosexual simply seeking his opponent’s destruction by adding false narratives in an ongoing effort to confuse and add to the darkness.

Go away Frum and enjoy your own slide into self debasement.

Hannity has just stated that he has ‘evolved’ on amnesty for illegals. I always knew he was a Bush-GOPe toady. He confirmed it.

And some particularly pathetic FReepers are happily going right along with Frum on this one.

Well Rush was right. You can’t beat Santa Claus. As long as half the country wants government to take care of them our country is doomed. Frum is a media diva who wants to stay connected with the establishment and the Washington D.C./NYC party circuit and what better way to do that than bash conservative talk radio and TV. The guy’s a wimp.

Bullsh*t....

Lots of establishment Republicans are angry that “Conservative Media” kept the Republicans from competing with the Democrats on who could give away the most FREE SCHIT!!!

That we must embrace illegals, and offer MORE freebies to the handouts crowd, if we hope to win.

Remember what happened to Gingrich way back when. The Repubs that ousted him wanted to create the exact same shadow system that the Dems have.

The only conservative pundits worth a damn are Rush and Dennis Praeger.

From back in the days when telling the truth wasn’t considered committing blaspheme.

Rush: Romney is winning like a liberal

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2853480/posts

He won primaries in places that he wouldn’t win in the general while ignoring the very people he needed most.

OK, I'll give Ole David this one and we'll all just step out of the way and let Obama have whatever he wants. Obama wants higher taxes so we'll make sure he gets ALL the higher taxes he wants from EVERYONE!

There is no conservative media! There’s a handful of radio talk show hosts and the occasional TV personality that is conservative, but that’s all. The vast majority of the media is a bought-and-paid-for wing of the DNC.

The guy makes a living. He has a niche as a CHARLATAN, ie, a DemonRAT maquerading as a conservative. They love to hear his twisted, inside-out logic confirm their own convictions. Same category as David Brooks.
