Orwell observed the litany of untruths in his day, "provoked no reaction from the left-wing intelligensia as a whole." Sound familiar? Past was prologue to the silence of liberals today. They are too busy shouting "liar liar," as their own deceits gain traction courtesy of a willing media.

Awesome Sunday editorial from CNS News re. our enemy press. What we're up against.

If you want on or off my Pro-Coalition ping list, please Freepmail me. Warning: it is a high volume ping list on good days. (Most days are good days).

Easy to blame the media for everything.

The media is not the cause of the farm bill, the education bill, the medicare bill, the half trillion dollar deficit.....

I wonder if this excellent editorial will be published in either of the twin-cities papers he mentions.

>>>More lies from the same paper on Sept. 12:

I want to add one more bullet to the list above.

Before our military or intelligence shut down Iraq's home webpage, I had posted an editorial from there here to FR written by Uday.

It is worth a read.

Perhaps it's part of a furious campaign to win the next election?

It's anger at the loss of the 2000 election, which, if the vote theft had worked, would have turned America into a one-party dictatorship. The klintons would have continued to rule through their sockpuppet Algore, but they were thwarted with victory within their grasp. They are furious that Bush will prevent them from attaining their goal of one-man-one-vote-one-time until 2004, or 2008. After that, they hope, there will only be "tame" pubbies (kept in line with FBI files and the klinton secret police), and easy vote theft.

The klintons have brought disaster to the RAT party, but in the process, they have established themselves as co-dictators of the party, which was their intent. They rule in ruin, but they are supreme. This is their vision for America, too. They know that tyrants in the third world can live as mini-gods, while their people suffer. Their goal is to turn America into a turd-world country with them at the top of the pile, and a democRAT/baathist party structure to keep them there.

The klintons (no sense talking about the "democRAT party", there is no effective party there outside of the klintons) are already dictators in their own party. All they need is a "tame" opposition party to lose in rigged elections, and dishonest judges to bless everything. They almost had it in 2000, except for those nasty First and Second Ammendments, which provided enough backbone to inspire the majority of the Supreme Court to do the right thing, and shut down the RAT vote fraud in Florida.

But the RATS (the klintons) will try again in 2004. If they think they can steal the 2004 election, it will be Hitlery/Weasely. Otherwise, it will be Weasely/Hitlery, which would give her a boost in 2008, by claiming she would have won in 2004 if she was on top of the ticket, and she is now a "credible" national candidate and seasoned politician.

A powerful indictment of the hateful, liberal, left-wing media!

I disagree. The media has a great deal to do with the advance of bad public policy, not only by promoting the left's agenda, but by undermining the values that protect people from con artists and steel them from the temptations offered up for votes.

This press knows it has the power to influence public opinion - and it knows how. Decades of research - Madison Ave, KGB, Hollywood, polls and scientific studies. The press knows what sells. They also know what destroys - and are willing to destroy the innocent for political power's sake.

The Sunday NY Times / Sunday talk shows promoting the same, latest DNC scheme weekly is no accident. The campaigns are tested on focus groups, floated as trial balloons, crafted in detail, sent out to 'friendly' press accomplices from the DNC war room before you ever hear of gravitas, quagmire, smoking guns, or credibility gaps.

Ask Tom Delay what it's like trying to get Republican policies into today's press, or for a Republican candidate to be treated objectively.

Dem. opinion is treated as "news" in America's mainstream papers. Well-promoted leftist policies and candidates of course influence public opinion. Have you ever heard of the larger women's group Concerned Women for America? Most Americans know where NOW stands. Their press promotion is largely responsible for Roe v. Wade. Public opinion is very much swayed by the press, and Judges and elected officials swayed by the public.

When was the last time you read a puff-piece about a Republican candidate, or a Republican human interest story in the mainstream press that didn't include a negative Dem. response?

As long as we're surrounded by 24/7 DNC talking points/lies, as long as the American people continue to believe this press, the country will continue to decline into socialism. It's simply the fulfillment of our basest natures, good for ratings and votes.

Imho.

"The press has become the greatest power within the western countries,
more powerful than the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary.
One would then ask: By what law has it been elected and
to whom is it responsible?"  ~ 
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

This proves my $100 donation to CNSNews Friday was a good investment. As is my monthly donation to Free Republic.

I spent an hour trying to figure out how to say this anonymously . . . but I couldn't. Please believe me . . . I say this not to brag, not to elicit praise or condemnation, nor for any other nefarious reason.

I say this because talk is cheap and if you're gonna "play, you should pay what you can."

I'm not rich, not even close, and sometimes rubbing two nickels together is a mental exercise only.

We're a passionate bunch at FR . . . and that's GREAT! But the wolves are still nipping at our heels. We MUST do more. We MUST support every conservative institution or cause that we can . . . both in spirit and in greenbacks.

Jim Robinson didn't put me up to this. Neither did anyone at CNSNews or MRC (Media Research Center - which is the Godfather of CNSNews). It just hit me when I read this article . . . we have to do more.

I ask each of you to look into your hearts and see if you can do more. We need you. "We" being conservatives. We've turned the corner in our battle with liberalism but the war is far from won. Please, help where you can.

Thanks for the link, Calpernia. Very enlightening. Uday isn't making any more demands, thank God.

We'll be exposing all the Hussein press accomplices for years, I think.

Thanks for the very thoughtful and important reminder, geedee. This is going to be a tough battle. FR and other conservative news sources are our weapons. We must take care of them.

I just upped my tiny FR contribution to a still tiny $10/month.

It ain't the amount that's important. It's the investment that's important. When someone has invested in something, anything, they seem to get really motivated to see the cause succeed. That's all I was trying to say . . . we need the passion, yes, but we also need the means to achieve our goals.

Liberals don't, and never have, played fair. We've got them on the run BUT we can't become complacent. My generation allowed some things to get screwed up. I'm gonna do my part to try and correct things.
