C-SPAN Caller Blasts Media's Coverage of Town Hall Protests
News Busters ^ | August 9, 2009 | Noel Sheppard

Posted on 08/09/2009 2:08:33 PM PDT by libstripper

"When I watch the news people stand here and tell me that I am a member of a hired mob, that I've been called up by the Republican Party, they only wish they could have done something like this. I've never been contacted by any organized group."

So fabulously stated a caller during Saturday's "Washington Journal" on C-SPAN in a monologue that is likely to go viral throughout the Internet and possibly make the speaker America's next Joe the Plumber.

You’re right, but you know, it just does not matter to them! They are so involved with their leftist agenda that they are blind to any other opinions. It has become so depressingly familiar that reading the news is a real chore.

Actually, can’t understand why they ALL have not gone bankrupt by now... I guess there are just enough Blue-Bellies left to keep them barely afloat. That will probably change shortly since even the moderate to slightly left are beginning to see daylight.

We can all look forward to the demise of the current News groups... I do expect another type of reporter to arise from the ashes though - factual - back to basics...

Very good point by Assumptions.Everyone should participate in a news story that is covered by the media. You will learn a lesson for life on the bias of the media.Perhaps the most biased coverage is the annual March for Life in Washington.The tens of thousands of young people that attend get a better education on the media,than they ever would get in class.

It does appear that youtube and twitter are replacing traditional reporting as it is on-scene and freely open to interpretation, versus the SRM telling us what to think. Seems like it is imperative that we utilize these outlets to get the real news out there.

You must dress like this to be taken seriously by the MSM! I'm sure this was not coordinated. /s

Forget your 'Brooks Brothers' and get a PINK SLIP!

Just ask HOWARD DEAN!

That’s why I bookmarked it. The computer I am at has defective speakers. When I get home around 05:00 hours I will listen to it then.

What really is needed is an honest press.

Hey - no need to SHOUT! Hehe... Sorry, just had to get that in...

You’re right of course, the internet is taking up the slack but eventually, the current new system has to change and that means giving up biases and reporting factual information.

Heh...I wish I could use that excuse... Unfortunately, it is usually MY fault...

Tell me, Obama, what is the difference between your behavior and the Government of Iran?

The Iranian President was actually born in the country he leads.

Loved the condescending smirks on the two obots while she let them have it. They were too stupid to even know they were being exposed for the mouthpieces they are.

Pray for America

My wife is such a case. She’s never been a political activist and if she wanted to be organized by someone, she wouldn’t know where to go (she’d have to ask me.) She recently wrote to our Congresscritter and started off by congratulating him for doing something she didn’t think was possible — turning her into an activist.

We’re going to a Town Meeting tomorrow night. We plan on being respectful, but we plan on being heard. Who wants to post our bail?

Damn, that was awesome. It did not even sound like she was reading from a script. Everything came from the heart. That women is intelligent and articulate.

Let’s hope that doesn’t mean that the Democrats will try to dig up all the dirt on her they can, and the news media will only be too happy to publicize it.

I am sure 1,000,000 Brown Shirts, i mean Democrats, have already submitted Leah's name to the offical white house snitch line.
