LOL. Well put. :)

[Tanniker Smith]

where you no longer need to be in the presence of reporters to make news,

Sounds like someone's having issues...

[cripplecreek]

I picture Jeffrey Immelt red faced and screaming.......

Its not supposed to happen this way! I control the news, not these stinking hillbillies!!!

[Explodo]

Dissent is Patriotic...remember?

"“their tactics are having an impact.”

Oh, how they wish there were no internet now!

What's interesting is how they view it merely as a matter of "tactics" rather than substance (an actual Communist in Obama's White House administration). The major news networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) should have done the vetting. Had they vetted Obama properly, you would have had a President McCain in there or he never would have beaten Hillary for the nomination.

What's happening now is the MSM's fault. Their phony messiah is imploding because they failed to do the vetting that bloggers and Fox News are doing now. He never should have been presented as presidential material. They created that myth. Now they try to blame those pointing out that the Emperor Wears No Clothes.

Who watches ABC anymore?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The MSM has lost the franchise.

[MamaDearest]

So it's okay for ABC to attempt to "derail the political career of Sarah Palin, but NOT okay for anyone to actually find real news (no matter who they are) and post it or report it to newscasters and radio personalities who will verify it and then report it?

Somebody (ABC) forgot to take their hypocracy meds!

Even though Team Obama ran such a successful presidential campaign, critics say the White House has been simply unprepared to deal with the ferocity of the conservative push-back.

Gads. As if the said "ferocious conservative push-back" was some capricious Greek deity that punished the unwary and innocent Team 0bama.

HELLO. The mythological fate spin just doesn't fool anybody.

[ronnie raygun]

The main stream media beat by internet bloggers, the American citizens and fox. They don’t like taking thier own medicine it seems!

HARRIS: Even though Team Obama ran such a successful presidential campaign

I vehemently disagree with that premise. Team BO would have been creamed without the overwhelming proactive help of the press. They did much more than just cover for this guy. They behaved as if they were officially part of his campaign team.

Coupled with the opposition (McLame) throwing itself on the sword on a nearly daily basis, it would have been a wonder had he not been elected.

[FlyingEagle]

The reason Team Obama ran such a successful campaign: Soros and Middle East Muzzie money plus the internet.

The reason Team McSame ran an unsuccessful campaign: reaching across the aisle.

Good on conservatives for latching on to technology in the backlash.

When Bob Dole was minority leader, he was considered the tax collector for the democrats...We will go along with your tax increase, just not quite as high an increase as you want....

Dear ABC:

Please tell 0bama that he is the commander-in-chief, but only of the military. The POTUS position is not set up as dictatorship, but as a servant of the People and their representatives in Congress.

[BunnySlippers]

They believe in “Conservative Echo Chambers” ... but do they believe in “Liberal Echo Chambers”.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

...where you no longer need to be in the presence of reporters to make news,

He has no clue how revealing that statement is.

[Kevmo]

ABC rues the day. Rue the ruin of your rude rule, ABC.

"Gibson next cued up how in an interview with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts, to air Wednesday, President Obama regretted “more moderate Republican voices are not being heard.”

What a shame, they must despair, that Arlen Specter, Lowell Weicker, and Nelson Rockefeller are no longer there to provide the "moderate" and calm voice of reason for exterminating the unborn, funding mandatory end of life counseling, and assisting Obama and his "science czar" Holdren in doping the water supply with population control drugs.

[Fu-fu2]

The news media has been twisting the story all day-—how nutty those conservatives were objecting to the President’s inspirational speech. Not mentioning the lesson plans and letter writing that went along with it initially which was withdrawn after objections.

After witnessing events a few times personally, then reading about them or hearing about them in the news media, I never recognized what they were reporting as what I saw happen....
