GONE WITH THE WIND - 2007"There was a land of Publishers and Editors called the Newspaper Business... Here in this pretty world Journalism took its last bow... Here was the last ever to be seen of Reporters and their Enablers, of Anonymous Sources and of Stringers... Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered. A Civilization Gone With the Wind..."
With apologies to Margaret Mitchell...
Oh, fiddlededee!

If the LSM have any hope, they need to publish articles on the Constitution and how it's been perverted over the decades. Also only articles designed to promote individual responsibility.

More than two-thirds of the Internet users said they felt that news organizations don't care about the people they report on; 59 percent said their reporting was inaccurate; and 64 percent they were politically biased.
Why don't the rest of us see it?

What's interesting about this is it's a product of Pew Research, which is generally biased to the left. So the reality is at least this bad, if not worse than reported. The other interesting point is that the 25% who are Internet users, who are "better educated" and better off economically, are MORE critical of media bias.
These are good signs, looking forward. More and more, the Dems are relying on the lost and the lame. Unfortunately, there are a lot of those out there.

I believe a large percentage of the media and democrats want the US to be defeated in Iraq.

The MSM is partisan AND biased. The American people are NOT stupid. The news business is the only one that can get away with treating their customers with contempt. People are just fed up with the Fourth Estate.

More than two-thirds...said they felt that news organizations don't care about the people they report on 59 percent said their reporting was inaccurate...
64 percent [said] they were politically biased.
More than half -- 53 percent...also faulted the news organizations for "failing to stand up for America".
Any sane industry would respond to these poll results with absolute panic -- accurately recognizing it as the voice of doom for their enterprise.
They would immediately respond with efforts to discover exactly why their market felt so negatively about their product. And, having made the appropriate discoveries, they would've changed their product accordingly.
Such actions would be recognized as the difference between catastrophic failure and survival.
Instead, the Mainstream Media's response is disdain for their market, contempt for their critics.
It is, indeed, a stunning exercise in corporate and career suicide...

About three months ago, I struck up a conversation with a woman in line at the grocery store. I mentioned something about the biased media and she agreed with me. But it wasn't what I thought.
She went on to say that the media is biased towards the Republicans. I said, "What?" She said the media has to say what Bush tells them to or they lose their invitations to the press conferences and media events. I said, "Wow, what a loon" and walked away.
