Comments after this Salon piece reveal the mentality of the people who buy and promote anything anti-American.

The Left knows there are clear reason to impeach Obama and have begun their media campaign to deflect from his executive overreach (along with his "the emperor has no clothes" incompetence) in order to protect him and their agenda.

“Conservatives find themselves taken aback by the Tea Party and other extremist know-nothings who have been given the oxygen of publicity on Fox.”

Man! Talk about delusion. Just what Bozo needs. A sycophant media isn’t enough they want nothing but their propaganda.

Re your comments
When the media jumped in with both feet into the Zimmerman thing, which was really a black on black incident and turned it into “a racial incident” by POTUS Obama and his media. The stains imbedded on the media hands are like tatoos. And their complicity including the resultant subsequent strife inluding killling of innocents can be directly traced back to their sources and should be.

Not a word about this from conservative media resources. It doesn’t occur to them to inject these incidents of their reporting when refuting or rebutting a statement citing what was presented by that source at that time such as;. “Oh yea NBC.. didn’t they show some picture of a little black kid not some adult sized teen who was beating another black security guards head in on the sidewalk after he knocked him to the ground” ...Then claim the guard was white ?

Use that plus. How about going into the real reason Obama did this partly to advance his goofy communist ideas about living in “collectives” and whip up a power base so nobody goes after him for corruption amd incompetence.

I caught Kudlow’s excursion into political campaigning on his Saturday 10/19 broadcast which he’s demonstrated doesn’t get. When he discusses politics it always comes from his narrow perspective don’t upset the money market viewpoint. He does have guests who do know something about campaigning but once they start citing polls it doesn’t dawn on them that they’re driven by the political opposition. During the 2012 campaign most Americans were talking about prices. Food prices, gas prices, what were the Romney people responding to ? We’re still fighting the 2012 campaign on the same issues which were never made then.

It’s very dishartening to post stuff here and see that many FRs don’t get it let alone the so called GOPES.

There is certainly nothing delusional about the fact that the liberals and the Democrats own the Media.

When I read articles like this one and the comments following, I know all is not lost for conservatives. If our enemies are this dimwitted, we still have a fighting chance. They’re still totally unable to discern conservatism and the birth of conservatism...which was basically the birth of the country. The roots of recent conservatism start with W. F. Buckley Jr. and Barry Goldwater. As long as these toads can’t (or won’t make an attempt to) understand us, we’ll have an edge. If we use it correctly.

Anything that comes out of Salon is almost self-satire. We have not come anywhere near getting our “revenge” on the liberal media.

They assume that the Republican Party is a monolithic institution with real conservatives and RINO’s being one.

Ailes worked for RIchard NixOn, not Ronald Reagan. Nixon made tough speeches about “law and order” and sent his surrogates like VP Spiro Agnew to attack the liberal media more directly.

Meanwhile Nixon signed off on the expansion of government at home with with OSHA and EPA, went to China and the Soviet Union to promote “détente”, then cut a meaningless peace deal with North Vietnam.

Of course, the media hated anyone who wasn’t talking like Marx and Lenin back then and there was a vicious media war with Nixon’s FCC ruling against NBC News on Fairness Doctrine grounds.

Heck, even Phyllis Schlafly editorialized for the Fairness Doctrine back then as the Nixon team also took out a conservative radio preacher’s station on those grounds

The whole mantra of Nixon and the beltway conservatives who supported him was that news should be “fair and balanced”.

We still hear that slogan today with Fox News and there’s no doubt that Fox News is the revenge of a RINO Republican president who was attacked by the liberal-left mainstream media.

"This led to an explosion of opinionated propagandists on the air waves relentlessly attacking “liberal” media. It continues to this day, degrading American public discourse"

OK! Now let me get this right. If you do not agree with our PERFECT message and dare to say so, you are degraing public discourse. OK. Got it!

When I was a kid, a stand-up comedian named Herb Shriner was a favorite of mine whenever he appeared on (black-and-white) TV. The one joke of his that has stuck with me was his giving it out that his sister had been accosted by a man in a hotel lobby who pressed a note in her hand. It read,
”You are the only woman I have ever loved. Come to me in Room 233.”

Shriner’s next line was,

“She wasn’t sure it was sincere, though - it was mimeographed!”

I’m reminded of that story when we learn that the administration printed up signs in advance announcing that the shutdown, and pinning the blame on the Republicans in Congress. As Shriner’s joke illustrates, the medium can deny the message - and those signs prove that Obama had decided in advanceto close down the national parks and blame the Republicans. And did so, with malice aforethought.

It’s a bit late in the day to suggest that journalism’s claims that it was the Republicans and not Obama who shut down all public access to national parks reflect anything but the fact that the perspective of the journalism monopoly - and, via the medium of the wire services, journalists are all in cahoots - and the perspective of the Democrat Party are one and the same.
