"Can you imagine, if the media were truly unbiased and simply reported all the news, how big a win W would have enjoyed?"
That's what I've been saying. I'm very encouraged by the fact that Bush was able to win with a majority in spite of the lies, distortions and spin forced upon us daily by the media. Looks like a lot of Americans ARE doing their homework.
I really don't see that as a problems. Two examples:
1. Several bloggers were present in the press box at the Republican Convention.
2. Look at the number of times that Real Clear Politics was used as the reference point for the polls. These guys made themselves in this election cycle. They are here to stay if they choose to do so.
The thinking will go like this:
"We have now become Conservative Media. We have adopted Conservative positions on most issues. We will still try to be balanced and objective, but our starting point will now be a Conservative one. We have adopted the following Conservative positions:
We support strict gun control
We support unions
We support Roe v Wade
We hate Christians
We love homosexuals
This is our new Conservative roadmap that will return Peter Jennings and Dan Rather back to dominant positions in the US Media market!"
We had to beat the left in this country before we could take on the terrorists. Now let's roll.
They're just going to work harder.
So will we.
LA Daily News, not the Times.
Well the classic example is Bill Mahr's "Politically Incorrect", which is anything but that.
I repeat, again - they cannot learn. They are just that dumb.
Rush Limbaugh has pointed this out, and I agree. These outfits would rather close their doors than play fair with conservative ideas. They cannot change. They must simply become irrelevant.
I saw it listed last Monday I believe as one of the newspapers that endorsed Pres. Bush.
KNBC in L.A. did a story on the ways to get around security at LAX last night, giving all kinds of ideas to any terrorist. It was as if they were saying, "Fine. You elect Bush? We'll make him fail."
I wrote asking for their resignation. I also forwarded their traitoring to the FBI counterterrorism department.
And talk about the media, Conan O' Brien had a "Gay Bible", a barechested man in short-shorts, a cowboy hat and boots, strutting across the stage holding hands with a huge, walking "Holy Bible." The crowd STOOD and cheered. As if saying "We hate all who voted for morality." Shame.
They came pretty darn close, considering the material (Kerry) they had to work with.
