If the opposition is looking for one word to shape its role now, it would be this: Dissent.

Hundreds of thousands of people show up in Washington for a pro-life event. It barely gets a mention in the papers.

That's as if the media during the Vietnam era had avoided covering the protest movement. Then, dissent was treated as important; now, it's impolite, unspeakable.

It’s not the News Reports, it’s who decides what News to Report.

March for Life, 500,000 in attendance, not a blip on the radar.

Gun Control Nuts March in D.C., 2,000 in attendance, the story of the week.

If the current day Media existed in 1776, Piers Morgan would be His Majesty, the King of the Colonies.

It would if they'd marched on the WP, and sealed it off from the outside world!
