NYT columnist: Conservative media 'has made a mess of our democracy'

Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott was interviewed for the study, and said conservative media acts as a cudgel against elected Republicans who show any willingness to compromise with Democrats or veer from accepted conservative dogma on low taxes, less regulation and more confrontation.

Trent Lott . . . I had almost forgotten how much I despised that intellectual midget . . . . Morons in the Republican Party like Trent Lott compromised their way to get us to Socialism under Democrats. Socialism doesn't work and never will. Further compromise with Democrats effectively rips up our Constitution, making Marxism not only possible, but probable. Trent Lott has NO CREDIBILITY in this discussion, which is why he is no longer in Congress.

...they've made a mess of our democracy...

What does that even mean?
The Media and Educational systems have made a mess of our Constitutional Republic, with the individual's rights protected by the Bill of Rights. No one even seems to know what that means anymore. It is some antiquated notion that needs to be destroyed by our 'democracy' (read: mob rule) loving NYT.

One medium attacking another medium. Maybe a seance will break out.

Little Timmy,

Quickly go to your safe place and call 911!
Ear plugs, hot chocolate and a warm blanket will be waiting.

Psssst..NYT...it’s NOT everybody else’s fault.

Hey, idiots at the nyt: It is a Republic. Fools.

There, fixed it for ya, Tiny Tim.

The main reason that Republican politicians sound so crazy of late is because they get their information, and validation, from the twisted world of partisan media outlets."

I notice Timmy here does not have a SINGLE EXAMPLE of the 'twisted world of (conservative, presumably) partisan media outlets".

That is why the USA is a Constitutional Republic.

(NYT reporters are so freaking dumb)

I will not be satisfied until every single communist head is on a pike.

[tanknetter]

He’s in denial and projecting.

Evidence of this is how he fails to note the power Left wing media like Kos, HuffPost, DailyBeast, Salon, and Slate, as well as activist orgs like Nutroots, Occupy and now BLM have over the Democratic Party.

Wasn’t Egan also part of Journ-O-List too?

[Timber Rattler]

They're just mad because the peasants are awake and have the pitchforks out for the perpetual GOP compromisers like Lott, who have enabled both the Clintons and the Obama regime to do what they have done to the country.

Period.

Hi there. I’m a liberal journalist. I am a narrow-minded ideologue whose calling is to advance my own political views and distort and destroy those who disagree with it. Remember what Mark Twain said. Never pick a fight with somebody who buys ink by the barrel.

Come to think about it, I see the error of my ways. Let’s bury the hatchet, like Himmler wanted to do with the Jews in 1945...

No, Liberal media has made a mess of a representative Republic by Democratic elections.

Conservative media is now working to straighten out the mess which Liberal media created.

Translation: We have lost our monopoly on controlling the information available to Americans. So, I must attack those who have broken the monopoly so that we (the liberal media conglomerate) can regain that monopoly and once again totally control what information you get.

What? One cable news network FOX has done all that? In the short period they’ve been on cable?
