She is never going to give up and I think this is finally dawning on the liberal media. They realize now that they have to take her out. The whole Hillary/Bosnia story is old and we here have known about it for how long? She tells this same lie in her book which has been out for years and only now the media picks up on it?

Anyone who thinks this country has a free press needs to have their head examined. It’s nothing more than Pravda for the DNC.

“Anyone who thinks this country has a free press needs to have their head examined. It’s nothing more than Pravda for the DNC.”

We have a free press, even more so since the internet was invented (thanks, Al). What it isn’t is neutral, nor could it ever be so. That’s is what is so cloying about the press’s pretensions to even-handedness, even at Fox, the so-called “We report, you decide” network. It simply isn’t possible to be unbiased. Each person sees facts and presents facts through their personal template of experience and biases. I used to get absolutely livid hearing Walter Cronkite do his signature sign-off for years, “And that’s the way it is . . . “. I would be shouting in my mind, “No, that’s the way you and your cronies see it. It isn’t the way it is.”

The problem isn’t that the press is biased. It can’t help but be biased. It’s that it pretends to be unbiased and expects us to believe it. Then it works so hard to counter anything that challenges its biases primarily through censorship, especially of the internet and talk radio while also pretending to be the champion of the First Amendment.
