I know, unbelievable.

[newconhere]

"still has great power." is an understatement. I think it is more powerful than the government!!! I think we have a long way to go.

It's interesting how Stretch Pelosi and Commie Conyers started backpedaling on their calls for 'impeachment hearings' - -
-----
These Marxist maggots must appeal to their moron kook fringe by touting this kind of crap. They know they would lose if this element of their voting base developed a brain beyond the ape-like lever-pullers they are. We will see every attempt to "get even" for holding Clinton accountable for only PART of this crimes.

I wish Brent would do a piece on the outright lying the media is spewing forth regarding the dead-soul issue they favor of cannibalizing embryo-aged humans for their body parts (stem cells). The media bias for the cannibalism is so blatant as to be criminal in intent! It is ushering in cloning also, as a codicil to the evil of cannibalism. The media purposely lies and mischaracterizes the science so as to further dumb down the alreadsy ignorant voters. Look at the results in Missouri and Kansas when the media purposely lies and misrepresents to fit their beloved democrat's agenda!

Doug Ellis, assistant director of the state Public Disclosure Commission, said his agency considers the matter closed.

Doc Ellis closed the matter in San Diego, pitching a no hitter ....... on LSD.

So much of the news is "manufactured" by the MSM to their own specifications. We saw this with the coverage of the Israeli-Lebanon conflict, complete with Hard-luck Hanna with her arms in the air at three different sites to the admission that Reuters doctored photographs of the coverage. How much coverage did you see of the rockets that were lobbed into Israel and the injuries to children and the elderly? The MSM with malice of forethought tried to portray Israel as the bad guy and that Lebanon was doing nothing to provoke them.

How many times have you heard:

"An ABC news poll shows..."
"NBC has learned from undisclosed sources..."
"CBS has discovered that some in Washington believe..."

Is this news? I don't think so. I think that we are so visually-oriented in this country that we "listen" with our eyes. Sometime, try closing your eyes and listen to any evening TV newscast while taping it. Then watch the tape. You will get an entirely different view.

No...the MSM has an agenda and I don't know how we're going to prevent it. It's disgusting, and the MSM should be ashamed for abandoning their responsibilities.

True, but I'm not sunk in despair about it. The fact is that an alternative media now exists, and it is slowly growing in influence.

The 2006 election is not the end, just a setback. If conservatives learn the right lessons from it, they can turn those lessons into future electoral victories.

[daler]

"It also proves that more then half the electorate are ignorant dumb shmucks, who can be swayed by a propagandist media."

To paraphrase perhaps my least favorite president, "I feel your rage."

The increasingly slanted media coverage of politics and the gullibility of the electorate is a sad state of affairs indeed.

However, I've reserved most of my anger for the GOP itself.

They lost this election, and in doing so have imperiled my country.

And what pi**es me off is that it didn't have to be that way.

They knew and know the MSM is not on their side, yet they try to cozy up to them.

The GOP is well aware that no matter what they do, it'll be painted in the press as "mean", "draconian", even "bigoted." Yet they reply with mealy-mouthed responses like "No we're not...really."

And worst of all, they know the Democrats are liars, cheats and Stalinists, yet the GOP went out of its way for the last 10 years to "play nice."

I'd better stop.

I'm low on blood pressure pills.

[dirtboy]

While it's true that the "Mainstream" Media isn't as dominant as it used to be, it still has great power. This election is proof.

I'm sorry, but the reason the MSM got traction this election is because the pubbies gave it to them. The MSM tried this crap last election - Bush lied, Plamegate, resurrecting TANG, etc. - but since those were lies, we could counter them effectively through the alternate media. However, this time around, the corruption charges stuck. It doesn't matter that they also stuck to a fair number of Dems - it was pretty hard to pretend that many of the allegations against the pubbies were not based in fact.

So the lesson is to the GOP, don't give the MSM the hammer to hit you with. Go back to core values, don't seek power for power's sake, and keep your house clean.

Here's the rest of the McCain disasters:

ANYBODY WANT TO VOTE FOR THIS IDIOT ..?? It won't be me.

[sachem longrifle]

Both Nixon and Reagan had hostile media coverage and Bush 41 in 88 also had hostile press while their opponents got fawning press coverage and still trounced their opponents and all this was while the DBM had a monoploy. the repubs lost on their own doing. See you all in 3 weeks..

Brent Bozell is God.

He does a great job of articulating what most of us feel. Lynn Cheney was right to slap down Wolf Blitzer about CNN's "America Broken" series.

[Hildy]

It's a combination of a biased press and an incredibly stupid, lazy electorate.

[TNCMAXQ]

Actually Bush said in 2000 that he would veto McCain's bill. I guess he felt he "owed" it to McCain to sign it. Bad move. I was really annoyed with GWB over that. Of course if McCain, Feingold and the rest of them want real reform, why don't they now propose outlawing these so called 527s? Like that would ever happen.

Another thing that would never happen, but that I would give anything to see, is for some brash conservatives in Congress to propose that the "news" media be monitored somehow. Just imagine the outcry that would follow. I'd love to hear it. :) Propose that if the media are not fair and balanced during election campaigns that they be fined, or required to issue alternative viewpoints. Obviously this is unworkable, and probably unconstitutional. But then, when do liberals care about the constitition?

Such a move by the right though would rile up the biased news industry, and maybe excite conservative voters who sat out this election.

"To hell with the media. We can do this OUR way and still come out triumphant. But we need the power that only principle can give us: the power of ideas."

No, sir. Let's reiterate: CNN and their cronies flooded the airwaves with stories of Diebolds voting for Republicans when demoncrats were selected. You remember?

The dims swept into power with a total of 5,038-40 votes.

What if those improper votes were for dims when Republicans were actually selected? Not one single story about the Diebolds since the elections, right?

[Bullish]

The Pubs' were too busy kissing up to the middle and wouldn't feed the right any red meat that they were willing to fight for.

I could go on and on about the conservative issues they were afraid to even mention, but you know what I'm talking about.

We don't really even have any true conservatives in the Republican party anymore. Why? Because the MSM would tar and feather them and run them out on a rail. I'd much rather see them fight for what is right for America, instead of kissing the collective asses of the moderates.

We can see how it cost them this election.
