A free press left unchecked leads to all sorts of interesting outcomes. Much like unrestrained capitalism where greed and shortsightedness create bubbles and destruction.
In this case the media has done tremendous damage to our country by slanting the truth about Iraq, the true cause of the housing and financial mess and a host of other issues all so the democrats would gain political favor.
And not they want to talk about reintroducing the fairness doctrine. Well, maybe they should and that would mean that television stations would be forced to carry rebuttals from opposing voices. I can see a situation in CBS where at the end of a Couric broadcast that someone would start off with, “Katie, you ignorant slut...”
Somebody needs to get McCain (or better yet Palin) in front of a teleprompter to read this article — every word.
An accurate portrayal of the MSM. Sadly, they are too far gone to care.
“America has been misinformed BIG TIME!”
Unfortunately, the script has already been written for this one. Obama elected with the complicity of the MSM. Obama fails miserably, screws up one thing after another, and America is hurting.
The sheeple will look for answers, and the MSM will come to the rescue, it’s all Bush’s fault. That’s right, no matter what happens, or what Obama does, the MSM will say it is the direct result of failed Bush policies.
The sheeple will buy it. In Obama’s 2nd term, people will begin to question things, but it will be too late by then.
Bump, bump, bump!
Pass this around to everyone!
Just wow.

Now there we are! See, Mr Card is a professed democrat doing what he believes is right and telling the truth, like he’s encouraging the other journalists to do! Excellent.
If the author had any sense, he would abandon his ‘Rat leanings forever.
What the past eight years of 'journalism' has proven is, 'journalists' have no honor, only their pride of sycophancy. Democrats are liars. They can succeed daily with lying continuously BECAUSE the media admire thier ability to fabricate the lies. The lies would be powerless if the vacuous 'journalists' were to just point them out. But these anti-American bastards can't even do that as trhey seek to usher in Marxism. ... It's almost huntin' season don'tchaknow.
He’s not a typical Democrat of today, he’s a Zell Miller Democrat. Except for being pro gun control he seems very conservative to me.
BTT!
Awful dark in here.

what a racist this guy must be
IF she were to be scheduled to make a fifteen minute address, the media networks would be falling all over themselves for the viewership. She could then explain just how pernicious is the democrat fault in the current financial crisis and which political party tried to do something to prevent the current meltdown and which party worked, actually worked hard, with filibusters and insults spewed in committees at the very regulators whose job it was to blow the whistles, to keep the destruction on track for democrat party empowerment.
Of course, Governor Palin could not dare close her address with a clear example of how democrats have used destruction as a means to empower their polical capital--yes, democrats have exploited the abortion holocaust, even furthering the destruction of alive unborn lives--but I can dream don'tchaknow.
ROFLOL!!
That is UPROARIOUS!!
You have my resounding nomination for "Tagline of the Year".
I agree. Devastating.
Orson Scott Card may be a columnist and a Democrat...but others know him as the author of a couple of the greatest sci fi novels of all time...including Ender’s Game.
