Why Is Conservative Media Crushing Liberal Media?

I’ve often wondered why people don’t watch programs where they are called stupid, bigoted, racists, homophobes, ignorant, fanatics, nazis, wing-nuts, rubes, neanderthals, hill-billys, angry, screaming losers {I could go on, but my fingers are getting blisters}....

I don't trust CNN news reports.

It's hard to distinguish Larry King's bias from his senility...and with guests like Sean Penn and Jesee Ventura (that really worked out well) it's too much of a visual, auditory trauma to watch his show.

The most ignorant people I know, get what they know from CNN!

Yeah, Kelly. Too many Megans. Fox, McCain, Kelly. Whatever. At best, Kelly is an agnostic. She has no problem with Obama. She said so on Imus this morning.

EVERYTHING that is going on - the TEA party movement, conservative media, townhalls, etc...are all phenomenon based on the Constitution:

OF the PEOPLE,
BY the PEOPLE,
and FOR the PEOPLE.

Listenership/viewership of Conservative media is NOT defined by the Conservative media - it is PEOPLE who tune in and watch/listen to what they prefer to hear.

The Conservative media is tromping the liberal media because everyone has caught on to the left - they know that the (D) after legislators and candidates no longer stands for democrat, it stands for "DECEPTION.

The obamabots think like children - that they can cover their own eyes, and therefore we can't see them. The lying, the payoffs, the rape of our society and economy is NOT happening unnoticed...we see it, and we're tired of it.

It is sooooo obvious that all the alphabet channels new (ABC, CBS, NBC, etc) are bought and paid for by obama and are his publicity/propaganda arm.

Meanwhile, most of the Conservative outlets AT LEAST are doing the investigative and fact finding that the "4th estate" is supposed to do.

Newspapers like the NYT, AJC, etc have turned into the "obama weekly reader", and reduced their newsprint size accordingly. But, once in a great while, Cynthia Tucker of the AJC manages to write a column that is NOT about race and slavery...once in a while.

Americans are tired of the never-ending saga of "ROOTS"; the KNOW all the stories, hell, PBS has them on very regularly. But, there's nothing that can be done about the PAST...it has PASSED. Adults know that, but the children want to remain perpetual victims and lament about a time gone by that has been "embellished" by those with a financial or political interest in keep unrest alive and well in America.

But these same community organizers are now in the process of shredding the very Constitution that we amended so that slavery could never happen again...what's up with that? If the document is "null and void", then does that null and void all of the civil rights? Or is it a more "selective" quest just to shut up dissent, and take away our guns?

Americans are sick of all this liberal/socialist crap, therefore they are sick of the messenger, and that is the liberal media. They don't get it, but they might get a taste of it in November.

Without the people, you ain't squat.

CNN hosts can barely read the teleprompter and can’t ask a question that has a modicum of intelligence behind it.

I can't watch because of all the homosexuals on there

Well, at least Henry noticed. He seems to have a keener sense of observation than many in the news business. The pack mentality of the MSM has been on full display for decades now. How many movies and tv shows have made fun of it over the years? The hordes of reporters crowding in front of house or an office or surrounding a car as someone gets into it. They were never reporting, they were posing as reporters. A true reporter would have been talking to people who weren't anywhere near the crowd. He would have been tracking down leads and putting two and two together.
Poor old Henry has just been part of the crowd and probably always will be. What happened? You mean our crowd missed it when we all were focusing on the same thing?

Are you being snarky? You jump in the number two spot to slam one of the few media outlets that gives a fair shake to conservatives?

Please - explain. ( unless of course you left off the /s)

It is a dumb article. CNN is more balanced? LOL!

To me it’s a simple matter of supply and demand. The liberal media have too much supply and not enough demand. Their market is overly saturated.

[frposty]

The conservative camp is the home of the self reliant, the energetic, those with high expections of individuals, those who believe there’s such a thing as evil and immorality, those that dislike big government, big taxes and restraints on freedom except for immoral behavior (the last item being a core belief of today’s liberalism). What happened to Air America? Their talkers couldn’t attract an audience. They were dull, and the liberal message calls for people to be weak, not strong. How interesting is that? I’m expecting strategy changes from the news outlets that are being stomped on by Fox. And we can expect government attempts to stifle the conservative outlets.

It's been going on a lot longer than Obama, it's just more acute now. The so-called "mainstream media" is anything but mainstream. They somehow fail to realize that simply rehashing to DNC talking points of the day adds no value to anything, nor does it engender any trust in their profession.
