I was watching Good Morning America’s “Whistle Stop Tour” through the heartland. They stopped in Ohio and asked all these people about the hard times they had experienced during “the last 6 years”. It was so obvious that it was humorous.
Whether or not you like McCain, this election represents a real chance to put a stake throught the heart of the MSMedia. They have been running a 24/7 campaign ad for Obama, and his defeat would spell the end of any influence they have. Fellow Freepers, I know many of you still don’t like McCain, but I hope you will view this election as a chance to take back the CULTURE in this country, the first battle in a long war being the destruction of the MSMedia.
I’ve said for a long time the mainstream media is more dangerous and a bigger threat to this country than Al Queda is.
THe media and press has always been biased and the articles were much more vicious in Jefferson’s and Lincoln’s time
BUT
There was NOT the monopoly as there exists today
It is because our schools are run by leftists and only turn out left wing journalists
The Drive-Bys are selling poison as medicine and when reality sets in, their going to regret the day they were born.
Very good article. I just hope there are still enough people left who will stop and think about the issues addressed in the article. Sometimes I feel like giving up.
I hope this is true but I'm not sure that there is any evidence of this.
I agree, we are all frustrated with the media. We were in 2004 also.
October seems to be the time when the media tries to be more objective, it is when they realize that their bias will be more noticed.
They finally nailed Gore in October 2000, and Nailed Kerry on the flip flopping in 2004.
As someone who used to scan Pravda and Izvestia occasionally, the US press now is as biased and spins stories as much as these Communist papers ever did. IMHO Keep in mind that all generalities are false, and that there are some events correctly reported in US newspapers, however is it worth the time and effort to remove the pearls from the slop that is routinely dished out?
Algore is going to save us. No, really, well... maybe not Algore himself, but his invention, the internet.
I don’t have contact with as many people as my son, (he’s a computer consultant). So, I keep my son up to date with all the information about 0bama that NBCABCCBSCNNMSNBC won’t present. The good news is, my son passes the stuff on to people who are either liberal or on the fence. He’s converted at least 3 likely voters so far.
If this stuff about 0bama were to be peresented by the MSM, 0bama would be finished. Heck, the quotes by Mr. and Mrs. 0bama yesterday would be enough to damage them mightily if the quotes were presented to the public. The quote about getting in people’s faces, and the cute quote.
It would take about one hour of reading and listening on the internet to know, without doubt, 0bama is:
A racist
A Marxist
A muslim sympathizer
We have a winner, folks.
If the Media was fair, we’d never lose an election.
(and they didn't mean ducking snipers at an airport)...where there were no snipers!!!
Let's be real...How many times have you seen Hillary and Michelle together??? Michelle wears the pants in that family.
Thanks. I just posted article on digg.com
Actually, the monopoly is over. It's possible that more people still hear some MSM program or other than listen to Rush on any given day, but Rush has to be in the top-ten in audience level. And then right behind him are the Hannitys of the world. The Washington Post and the NY Times are nowhere on the list.

This is HUGH! Very series.
Yesterday, I was working on my laptop in a public area for most of the day while MSNBC droned on for hours on the lobby TV fawning over bo’s new poll numbers and swooning over his rambling speeches to crowds of impressionable sheep. It was about as mentally stimulating as playing a recording of the sounds of flushing urinals and toilets in a restroom in a large airport.
