These "news outlets" are obviously propaganda organs. Everybody knows that.

Leftist/"Liberal"/Democrat propaganda organs, as a matter of fact. ("Liberal" used in this context has nothing to do with the word "liberal" meaning freedom-loving, free-thinking, or open minded. On the contrary, it's an Orwellian paradox, meaning the exact opposite.)

Isn't it about time that we send these liberal Canadians back to their home country? That includes Petah Jennings, Ashley Banfield, Dawna Freisen, et al. Time for them to go.

But he credits a few key individuals and organizations with breaking the monopoly of the establishment news media.

"If it were not for for Rush Limbaugh, the Washington Times and Fox News - those organizations, entities, have finally managed to break the dam," Collins said. "Ph.D. pieces could be written about this subject, dozens of them."

BUMP!

The liberals are seeing it happening now & they can't do a damn thing about it. The secret is out & people are choosing other media outlets for news now.

A bright spot on the horizon for CNN, which has been plagued with
sagging ratings and slumping anchors -- or something like that....
Apparently reports of the death of Muhammed Saeed "Baghdad Bob"
Al-Sahaf, Iraq's former minister of dezinformatsia, were greatly
exaggerated. BB, whose most memorable media moment was declaring,
"There are no American infidels in Baghdad!" as a column of
U.S. Army tanks rolled past in the background, is alive and
well in Baghdad. He has been attempting to give himself up to
coalition forces -- but no takers! (BB did not make the "Most
Wanted" card deck of death.) We suggest Paula Zahn negotiate
a deal to bring BB in as her co-anchor before this media celeb
learns of his popularity in France and becomes dezinfo minister
for Jacque-ass Chirac.

I remember when a magazine, Newsweek or Time, ran a cover photo of Rush, where they added billowing smoke and harsh lighting and asked if he was bad for America. About the same time they ran an issue with Castro on front, and it was a puff piece. Kind of like when Dan Rather interviewed Saddam Hussein a few months ago. They demonize conservatives and they praise and adore commies! Just think what a president Hillary mistress of darkness would do TO us.
