Which I most certainly do. Perhaps I should clarify. I remember an interview Breitbart gave on bias in the media. He said that we should have two medias, like the British have. One right and one left. He said that’s the mature thing. So in that sense I’m all for developing our own media presence i.e., Rush (Fox news to some extent—not so much now) other talk radio personalities and social media. However, I believe any energy “fighting” the left-wing establishment media is pure folly. In terms of messaging we need to get away from why they get it wrong and more on why we get it right. The Tea Party movement grew in spite of them because of our own media channels, not because Maddow or Morgan said something. Fundamentally, I have a hard time believing there is an “undecided” public out there anymore that is susceptible to the PR battle that requires us to scream “FOUL” all the time and play a reactive game.

Yes, welcome! A Gadsden flag? I’m planning on getting an 1812 battle flag I saw in a catalog. It’s black and has a skull and bones on it, the date 1812 and like the Gadsden flag the words “Don’t Tread On Me.”
Can’t wait to get it and fly it. Like the poster of the buzzards sitting on the branch, caption “I’m tired of waiting, I want to kill something” I also feel something like the outlaw fraternity in “Animal House”:
I want a Homecoming float that looks like a giant cake and says on it in big letters: EAT ME.

There is no right wing equivilent to MSNBC, CNN, cBS, NBC, PBS, ABC on American TV. Fox is not a right wing TV news network and never was. They have opinion programs with hosts such as Sean Hannity who are on the right, but they also have Greta, Geraldo and Smith to balance it out. Fox is more center than anything.

Rush Limbaugh is AM radio’s answer to TV’s CNN & ABC but he’s on radio not TV and he’s got the facts behind him.

MSNBC is television’s answer to AM Radio’s Alex Jones but Alex Jones is not on TV (I don’t think I want to see him on it either).

What we need is Breitbart TV Network or CNS TV network, something that’s 100% right wing to counter CNN, ABC and cBS.

“Fox News was the most fair news network during the 2008 camaign” - Hillary Clinton.

Thank God for Fox News. But it’s not right wing. It only appears right wing next to leftist CNN.

I don't want us to fight them, I want us to expose and discredit them. I just want to see more Dan Rather forced retirements for false reporting.

I agree. But yesterday's special election results in NJ and the fact that so called "moderates" like John McCain feel it's safe to be name calling average Americans who want nothing but fiscal responsibility from our government tells me there is room for improvement in the PR department.

I have faith that Ted Cruz will be able to handle such attacks. He needs our support.
