John Kerry: Media Has "Responsibility" To "Not Give Equal Time" To Tea Party

SEN. JOHN KERRY: "And I have to tell you, I say this to you politely. The media in America has a bigger responsibility than it's exercising today. The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual."

Hanoi Boi Johnny seems to be “flashing back” to the 60s. Something needs to be done about that pesky First Amendment right Johnny?

I agree. Everyone in the media ignore this jerk's ramblings.

Kerry doesn't seem to sound too favorable of the Tea Partiers. The short video from this buffoon is here.

Most democrats are totalitarians these days.

Rich Socialist Kerry is still furious that the great Howie Carr recently exposed him cheating on his taxes with his giant yacht.

Why is it that Kerry et al feel compelled to pee on the carpet?

Can't they just simply go?

John Kerry is a male Jane Fonda -- both should have been shot for their treason.

There are many who were 'reporters' and anti-war during the Vietnam War who will still dispute the following:

General VoNguyen Giap. General Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leader of the North Vietnam military. The following quote is from his memoirs currently found in the Vietnam war memorial in Hanoi :

'What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi . You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battle of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it.'

'But we were elated to notice your media was helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!' General Giap has published his memoirs and confirmed what most Americans knew. The Vietnam war was not lost in Vietnam — it was lost at home. The same slippery slope, sponsored by the U.S. media, is currently underway. It exposes the enormous power of a Biased Media to cut out the heart and will of the American public.'

Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life.

Fear the media, for they will destroy your honor.

Hey Kerry, Standard and Poor’s just asserted something, should that be ignored too?

"...The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual."

A brief glimpse into the mindless and thoughtless ideology of this collectivist creep.

He never said what the “untruth” was.

More like, he doesn’t want opposing views broadcast. Like his motives aren’t transparent.

This is the same argument used to try to limit media exposure of the view of global warming skeptics.

Pity that. As it was once said: A Democrat is somebody who expects somethin’ fer nothin’, and a Republican is somebody who expects nothin’ fer somethin’, an’ a Independent is a cat that greases his own car.

John Kerry as well as Algore have the responsibility to take a freekin hike. I can image the stink the media would stir if a Republican said some group should be shut ou.

As the weather reports for the Left grows worse, the more they try to blame and punish for their failure.

I say bring it on. When the dust settles you will see who is still standing.
