MSM had a bad week, not GWB.

Nor does the CBS.com news story mention the very real possibility that the Osama bin Laden tape will actually help the Bush campaign, since polls clearly show a majority of voters believe the Bush would do a better job in the war on terrorism.
The CBS story is sheer imagination and nonsense, Bush is doing quite well at this point. However the real story this election year is history in the making - the most extreme left wing media giants like CBS News and the New York Times no longer have a monopoly on manipulating how we the people perceive the world around us.
Election 2000 saw Internet bulletin boards, blogs, Drudge, talk radio and Fox News challenging the liberal bias of the mass media. For election 2004, the same Internet and radio outlets have shown the world that CBS, the New York Times, and other liberal outlets spin false and exaggerated "news"stories.
Election 2004 is signaling the end of the media dinosaurs, like CBS and Dan Rather, who thought they ruled the world.
I think that after the re-election it is going to have to be payback time. Why should SeeBS have White House press privileges when there are more deserving webnews sources that actually check sources and facts (quaint old-fashioned concepts chucked by modern journalists). I think it is time to recognize the new reality and ease out SeeBS and if they want to raise a stink about it, we have enough ammunition to sink them. If ABC and NBC don't want to show the WH version of events, they can be shown the door as well. I think they'll see the light when everyone has to see Fox for real news.
Hey, the La Brea tar pits are cool. I like the thought of the Dems creating another one for us to observe. Finally doing something useful. Wilshire Boulevard Jurassic bump.
Here are the results so far, Dan. New York, District of Columbia, Rhode Island polls are closed and it looks like Kerry can add those electoral votes to his growing total. Exit polling from California shows a substantial Kerry lead of 2% with 20% of the precincts reporting. CBS is calling the Golden State for Kerry. Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Iowa, New Mexico, Hawaii, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Colorado are all too close to call with only 99.99% of precincts reporting.
So everybody get out there and vote. The Senator is counting on you.
I have undergone such a transformation in the last several years in the way I see the media. I owe a great deal to Bernie Goldberg's clarity of thought.
The most profound revelation I've had is the MSM really, honestly do NOT grasp the depth of their own ideaology and the influence it exerts on their work as journalists.
It's been said over and over- but they really DON'T get it, and have rather collectively lost the power of critical thinking.
Frightening, isn't it?
'I hope democrats go beserk and destroy shit when they lose. I want it to leave undullable image in the conscience of America how democrats really are!"
That time has past. They are beserk.
For a minute there, I though you mis-spoke and meant to say: Too bad nobody watches their news distortion anymore. But then, since you make a living with words, I thought better of it. (grin)
Wait until they see the week that F'n is going to have next week!
He's morphing into Michael Kinsley who was abused nightly by Pat Buchanan. It sucks to argue against facts!!
The minute something starts going wrong..they'll get kerry's aides on tv talking about voter fraud. How minorities arent being allowed to vote..how republicans registered people who dont exist. It's coming, count on it! I don't think Kerry will concede, unless its a blowout. Even if Bush wins by 50 electoral votes, look for him to launch lawsuits.
You just can't make this stuff up!
Oh wait...
what's next...Rathar wearing a turban?
You have GOT to be kidding me. LMAO Is this some kind of a joke? I clicked on the link and it's a real "story". They don't give up do they?
They are spending every bit of intellectual capital that possess on this election. After it is over they will go after the Blogsphere. Try to appoint gatekeepers and suppress free speech. XXXX Porno is fine BUT free speech on the internet will be framed as "dangerous" and "threatening the truth" and that the American people need to be "protected" from propoganda.
You wait. Hildabeast is warming up in the bullpen and this election has been to float ballons and look for weak spots in total brain washing through the axis of evi: NY Elitists, Hollywood, and Academia. WE ARE THE WEAK SPOT in their big brother Orwellian plan and our free speech will be target number one.
Is this from the Onion?
I thought it was a joke too,
after reading it on their site I sent them this email...like thy care...
"You have a story on your website called "A Rough Week For President Bush" which has been posted on the internet, most people feel it is a satirical parody characterizing CBS' apparent bias.
I am shock to find it is an actual story, please explain."
MSM had a bad week, not GWB.
I think you're tuning in to reality very well. I noticed you're somewhat new to FreeRepublic. Welcome.
You are too kind. Sure they know that the slant they gave this tape is unfair, untrue and specifically composed in a way to do the most possible harm to Bush. I don't believe it's subliminal, but deliberate. Don't forget you are talking about experts in communication and psychology.
