Failure To Oust Bush Shows Media's Limitations

LA Times Watch ^

[prfix]

"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."

[OldBlondBabe]

"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.

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

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.

Now they are going to re-package the same old crap and pretend they're new conservatives

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.

[Pete'sWife]

They're just going to work harder.

So will we.

[Chaguito]

LA Daily News, not the Times.

[SteveMcKing]

Well the classic example is Bill Mahr's "Politically Incorrect", which is anything but that.

[sevry]

If they want to survive they have to change the product.

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.

[BIOCHEMKY]

I saw it listed last Monday I believe as one of the newspapers that endorsed Pres. Bush.

[gentlestrength]

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.

[prfix]

can you remember where you saw it listed?

Again I did not see it in the paper itself..... they published all their endorsements on Monday in the Editorial section and President Bush was not one of them. and they published that scathing Editorial entitled "A Failed Presidency". if you can give me a date, page reference I can look it up.

[WildTurkey]

They came pretty darn close, considering the material (Kerry) they had to work with.

[libs_kma]

I sincerely hope you are correct. I would like nothing more than to see fat@$$ Moore, network news, Hollywood and P. puff jergoff daddy all become irrelevant and disappear
