Maybe if you live on Planet Kos you believe that. The MSM is so predictable that they really have about as much credibility as Bagdad Bob anymore. You must be very young. I was a boy during the Cronkite Era. The monopoly, the sense of near deity they had about themselves they had back then, absolutely is not the limping caricature of power they have to day. Your assertions are without any stated basis in fact. Yes, the election of Obama was aided by the MSM, but the clones were prepared in advance by the liberal colleges and universities. The MSM was merely the catalyst operating on a public not yet awakened to the threat.
However, we are awake now, and November 2010 should have been the lab experiment sufficient to remove all doubt that the MSM has lost the monolithic authority it once had. They tried to limit the damage that was coming but couldn’t do it. They polled us and told us and pushed us and pulled us and we did what we wanted anyway.
You see, it is just as dangerous to overestimate your enemy as to underestimate them. Grant them too little power and you won’t try hard enough. Grant them too much power and you will defeat your own cause by giving up in despair. What do you think Tokyo Rose’s main mission was? To weaken the resolve to win, by causing people to believe the enemy was so in control that resistance was futile. So not only is it factually unsupportable to give the MSM too much credit, it’s bad strategically. There’s a block they influence, and then there’s everybody else. That’s how we won in 2010, and that’s how by God’s grace we will continue to win in 2012.
You can’t compare an off year Mid-term to a Presidential Election. The composition of the electorates simply are not the same.
People on our side like to pretend that the media doesn’t hold sway over the brain dead masses in this country, because it makes them feel better. In reality, the public schools, colleges and universities have done their jobs and made it far easier for the media to control the population that it was back in the day.
Yes, the Media didn’t like Reagan and Nixon, but Reagan was a one of a kind and was about to do an end run around them, and the media was responsible for bringing down Nixon.
The media propped up Obama, and they will continue to do so. Watch. I wish it were not so, and I sincerely hope I am wrong, but the state of things simply does not give me any confidence that this is so.
