How come the word treasonous isn’t mentioned?

[tom paine 2]

Alert the media?

[Califreak]

Could be. Most older people I know don’t like computers. I’m only 43, but I was kind of a technophobic until I finally broke down & got a computer. I am now an information junkie.

"Two decades ago, public attitudes about how news organizations do their job were less negative. Most people believed that news organizations stood up for America...a majority believed that news organizations got the facts straight," Pew said in a report.

Both of those were pretty true. Well no wonder when you have the news controlled from a small pool of disseminators, and they are mostly liberals pushing an anti-American agenda. Lying is second nature to liberals.

George Putman was and is an exception. Still going strong I believe, and in his eighties

[dearolddad]

Take that ....McManus, Kalplan, Olbermann, Matthews, Blitzer, Cooper and Couric.

Do you honestly think the clowns listed above give a rat's rectum?

The Washington-based Pew Research Center calls itself a non-partisan "fact tank"...

Really? Seems there's a problem with self-image there. I would like to see a poll of the Pew "researchers'" political leanings. My intuitive guess would be that the large majority would be Democrats, just as at the typical MSM outlets.

Accordingly, I would also surmise that the actual figures on public discontent with the MSM are a bit higher than those reported.

[justiceseeker93]

The number one problem with the MSM was not even mentioned by the Pews, probably because they wouldn't think of mentioning it in a survey question. That is the selection of subjects and stories that the MSM chooses to report. The end result is that people who use the MSM only to get their "news" don't have any information about many important events that are transpiring around them. Ignorance correlates to support of leftist causes and candidates.

LOL!!

Actually, I do not think they care or pay attention. But that is precisely why they are rapidly becoming a very big fish in a puddle.

The arrogance per ounce is stunning.

Yes, but so long as the reporters are sexy we will always watch!

[justiceseeker93]

Actually, I do not think that they care or pay attention.

Oh, they certainly do care - about getting as many 'Rats as possible into Congress and a 'Rat into the White House. Some egregious examples: the Florida election reporting in '00 (which nearly affected the outcome) and the Dan Rather fakery about President Bush's alleged going AWOL from the National Guard. Then in the last few years they have grossly overreported bad news from Iraq and concealed much favorable news. You could go on ad infinitum.

[colorado tanker]

Horsefeathers. Dan Rather says the MSM isn’t biased. It says so in a fax he just got from Kinkos.

[justiceseeker93]

Ping!

[eleni121]

Scandalous-—— and the worst offenders are the pubic radio and TV shows sponsored by our tax dollars.

NPR PBS —all part of the Corp for Pubic Broadcasting..we must stop supporting these retarded left wing “progressives”

[ExTexasRedhead]

No news there except to Liberal morons who still think their willing accomplices in the media are passing on Liberal propaganda and brainwashing the majority of Americans. Surprise, surprise! Now, it’s up to the GOP to get their message out with spine and fortitude.

[festus]

You met a moonbat. I’ve met a few too.

That is the common belief over on a website who’s name must never be spoken.

[dixiechick2000]

I have to say this is the best news I’ve read in quite a while!

Thank you for the ping!

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!
