"A very obvious media bias in favor of Kerry, with CBS as its principal innovator, failed to achieve its objective of ousting President Bush from office."

In addition to blasting the media these guys are predicting this is the last election in which the mainstream media will be setting the public agenda.

Can you imagine, if the media were truly unbiased and simply reported all the news, how big a win W would have enjoyed?

Don't underestimate them. Now they are going to re-package the same old crap and pretend they're new conservatives, especially if they see money to be made in any social trend.

The only reason to buy a newspaper is for local news. I can get more up to date information about national and international news on teh web. What's really needed is internet based competition to local dinosaur newspapers. Internet journalism doesn't require investment in expensive printing presses, and you don't have to cut down forrests to print a paper every day.

Speaking of the LA Times, they suffered a 6% decline in daily circulation. They're the CBS of print journalism.

How do you get a press pass or immunity as a blogger? Until we fix that problem we'll be stuck with the MSM.

Actually they are the ordinary Red Commies. They saw Blues loyalty, honestly, faithfulness, and took over the color. It's a strong testament to the media’s strength that black is white, and red is blue.

Let's take Evan Thomas, the assistant managing editor of Newsweek, at his word. He ventured that the full support of the MSM would be worth 15 pts to Kerry's total -- launching him into the Presidency.

If that is the case, then the underlying support for Kerry and the Democrat party is around 33% -- pre-manipulation.

Thus, without the MSM, the Democrats are nothing more than a significant minority. And a shrinking minority, at that.

Or, looked at another way, if the MSM were not so openly biased and were something approaching objective, the GOP would be cranking out one electoral landslide after another.

Indeed, one might argue that, given an objective media, the Democrat party would quickly cease to exist...

Which supports what I always say, that the MSM and the DNC are one and the same.

Yes, Nov 2 was a great battle victory!
But the war is NOT over.
I've seen on TV and heard on the Radio
attacks about Swift Boat Vets AFTER the election.
And what liars they are.
So closure is NOT going to happen for Viet Nam Vets, yet.
Time to expose Hanoi Kerry in the MSM once and for all!
Then Viet Nam Vets will FINALLY be vindicated.
THEN it will be over!

DON'T LET THIS STORY DIE!

THE story that
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
DON'T WANT AMERICA TO KNOW!

John Kerry's Discharge
He won't sign Form 180
What is he hiding?

Ex-Navy sec to Kerry: Open up your records
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41230

NY Sun 11/01/04
Kerry's Discharge Is Questioned by An Ex-JAG Officer

http://www.nysun.com/article/4040

"There is overwhelming evidence that the Navy gave John Kerry either a dishonorable discharge
or an undesirable discharge – which is the equivalent of a dishonorable discharge
without the felony conviction – and that, as a result of such discharge,
he was stripped of all of his famous but questionable Navy awards and medals.

And the kicker? The evidence is on his website!"

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41200

BUT
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
made sure you knew about the Bush phony National Guard documents.

Q) Why did
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
NOT ask Kerry about why he wouldn't sign Form 180?

A) Because they are AFRAID of the REAL story!

The liberal media did their best to beat Bush and they almost did it.

This can't be tolerated. The first thing Bush should do with his new term is to destroy the liberal dominance at CBS, NBC, and ABC.

The liberal media is as dangerous as Al-Queda.

Exactly! Thanks for doing the lion's share of the work to support my post. You imagine real good.:)

It's the underlying lies of socialism and class warfare that Americans can instinctively see through. This is because we are experienced democracists and capitalists, the media would have us forget that these principles built the greatest nation in all of history.

No, he shouldn't he should convince the people and see for themselves the fraud they are. Big media is going to die on the vine.
