Are We in a Kind of Civil War in This Country?

The loonatics are in charge of the RAT party. The only civil war going to happen is when demoRATS get tired of losing elections and throw the whackos out of the party.

Bigamy is having one wife too many. Some say monogamy is the same.

The big question is this: will the mass media follow? My money says it will. I have 40 years experience in the news media to back my bet.

The "mass media" took an astounding hit today. Fox News is moving to radio, with top-of-the-hour news summaries. Fox will now be taking over as news provider for a zillion Clear Channel radio stations. The takeover will happen as current contracts for ABC, CBS, etc., run out.

Do you have any idea how many people get the totality of their news on the car radio druing the drive to and from work? The importance of this announcement by Fox News and Clear Channel cannot be overstated.

Charlite: thank you for posting. Fascinating.

The guy is a linguist, but what he's talking about is spin and not addressing the real issues.

The democrats need to run someone for office that isn't a lying traitor, serial molester, ambulance chaser or other whackjob.

They are in denial. The democrats lost the race for one simple reason. John Kerry was a loser. John Edwards was worse. Kerry';s nutty wife didn't help at all.

My real question is how does John Kerry pay off a $6,000,000 mortgage on a salary of $155,000 a year?

I dont know but I always thought it would be nice to have another woman or two around here to help out. As long as I am TOP wife!

I don't think "flyover country" was a smart PR term. I think it was effete liberal snobbery at work, talking among themselves. Now it's coming back to bite them in the *ss, because the phrase illustrates for all to see how these people look down on the rest of us ordinary folks.

It's already been underway. I noticed that 950AM KPRC in Houston (which canceled Dan Rather's short piece after the National Guard memo hoax) has switched from CBS to Fox News.

Better late than never I guess.

The MSM is getting smacked down. ABC News will have to wipe that smug "more Americans get their news from ABC than anyplace else" off of their adverts. If it wasn't for Paul Harvey Goodday, quite of few stations wouldn't even subscribe to ABC news.

A shame that CBS had to be so partisan. They did a 10 minute news break in the mornings that gave you more news than you would find in a 30 minute "Evening News" broadcast (not saying much, I know).

A more objective report could point to a better way of doing shorter news reports, more frequently, on tv and radio.

Here in Houston, the local Fox broadcast affiliate boasts of a 4 hour morning show. Not much NEWS in that 4 hours of programming. Quite a few traffic reports, some entertainment fluff, maybe some police report stories, some home improvement makeovers...

As unfit as John Kerry was for the White House, John Edwards in no way was capable of holding the office of the Presidency which is quite a possibility in our current war against terrorists.

Without the media help, lies, and distortions, it never would have been that close. Not even.
