Try this thought experiment: Imagine the Democratic leadership doing the exact opposite of the NY Times editors!

It. Would. Not. Happen.

Nothing that any well-informed Freeper didn’t know.

Hopefully, someone who didn’t know will run across this article.

EXACTLY right. And this is why Fox and Talk Radio are so hated by the Left.

The left has owned the media in this country until the nineties; and they don’t much like losing their monopoly. If they take power in two years the only question is...how will they come after Talk radio and Fox?

Their inclinations are fascist. They MUST stop all media opposition to remain in control.

Democratic Party merely the Elective Office Subdivision of the greater Liberal Media Party (Soros world marxist party)

There..fixed that.

I have long and often said this. The DNC is simply the political wing of the MSM Party.

One thing I see as a problem for conservatives is that our instinctive aversion to media folks keeps us from trying to talk to them. Yes they are ideologues, and yes they see themselves as part of the DNC, but we need to be making an effort to get to know media people, especially the younger ones who aren’t as set in their ways, and show them over and over and over that there is another point of view on many of their stories.

Most in the media don’t even know that there is another approach, and when you point it out some of them will give it a moments consideration. You have to remember that those on the left call them ALL THE TIME telling them what the story is - they take them for lunch, ask about the kids, treat them as friends. I think we sometimes get very caught up in thinking of them as the enemy and forget that part of the Art of War IS knowing your enemy.

There are a lot of former liberals out there who, for whatever reason, ended up having to spend some time around conservatives and found out that we aren’t what the stereotype says we are. We don’t hate the poor, we don’t believe in starving old people, and we aren’t the ones who want to tell them how to live their lives.

We need to make an effort to get to know the media people - especially at the local level since that’s where the national people come from.
