"More than just protesting, Lobbying and demanding that judicial inquiries be held into MSM's conspiracy to install a Marxist regime, to destroy the nations constitutional republic, trample on the citizens right to choose and elect a representative government based on unbiased, complete and accurate news, using the power of media to sway the outcome of elections."

It's an interesting thing, what has happened to the "media" since the writing of the 1st Amendment. Back in the day, there wasn't such a thing as an "impartial" media. All the media outlets were actually quite "partial", quite partisan. Some were well to the left, and others were well to the right, but none pretended to be something that they weren't - as is the standard today. I imagine that the Founding Fathers didn't envision a time when the media would be so homogenized, and camouflaged under the guise of impartial or neutral arbiters of fact.

What I believe is inarguable, is that the media has - with the election of Barack Obama - lost it's status as the so-called Fourth Estate. It very much is now just a propaganda arm of the left.

They truly have and refuse to recognize it. I have papers from the Times reporting the Civil War in the day. It is reported as fact. They are long gone away from that.

The reason why they bus people in is because they are on the losing end of an issue. When the Proposition 209 was a hot button issue, our Republican club had the school ban people who were not students. We were on the winning side when the left did not their big guns. in addition, we had “scouts” within each group and they would feed us tactical information on what they had planned.

Were Democrats really debating national security when they called our president a Nazi, a liar and so forth for doing what all active military analysts saw fit to do in defense of our nation? Where was Katie Couric when that side show drowned out the main event?
What hypocrisy, what pretentiousness, what... frankly.... ignorance she’s put on display.
The fact that liberals throughout the nation harp on this idiot’s every word is even more sickening.

I’d like to see her birth certificate. That hag has got to be at least 70 years old.

Public redicule. Exposure on a large scale. Show the masses the 'man behind the curtain' at every opportunity.

A stupid 70 year old cheer leader who is irrelevant.

The only people dumber than Couric are the people who hired her

AND the people who believe what she says.

I would agree with Katie. Fear that the ignorance of the Rats will prevail.

Really? I blame stupid, Rotting Meathead members of the “mainstream” media, like Couric, for the fact that ordinary citizens feel the need to go to Town Halls and raise a ruckus, because all the Democrat elite perverts in Washington and in the “mainstream” media, intentionally and arrogantly ignore the Will of the People!...and ought to be (censored).

I want to know when Couric, and her colleagues, are going to ask Barack Obama when he's going to start "uniting the country".

I'd say the country is pretty united... against Obama.   ;-)

There was a time when CBS News would have covered the revolution now going on in the US vs. criticizing it.

The only thing we have to fear is the ignorance of people like the not so perky one.

Jack Torry, writer for the Columbus Dispatch, essentially picked up Couric’s “ignorant and fear” themes in an article printed in today’s Dispatch. Is there a trend developing?

Howard Dean was in Columbus yesterday; I suspect he wrote Torry’s article for him.
