Jon Voight criticizes media at RNC

Republican Conventioneer Jon Voight is letting fly with some strong commentary about President Obama, Mitt Romney and what he believes to be a formidable liberal bias in the American media.

Representing a relatively small faction of openly right-leaning celebrities in Hollywood, the actor was the featured speaker at a breakfast meeting of Virginia delegation members in Clearwater on Monday as his "first job" at the GOP summit.

"This country's been downgraded for the last four years," Voight warned, rallying his audience by adding, "We have this little window of time to do something about it - to get it back on track."

The "Midnight Cowboy" star and father to globe-trotting do-gooder Angelina Jolie endorsed presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney and his VP pick while he was at it. "I'm very excited about Mitt's candidacy and Paul Ryan as well," he said.

Voight put a good word in for conservative pundit-turned-documentary filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza's "2016: Obama's America," which stormed the box office last weekend as storm clouds approached, and ultimately swept past, the Tampa convention.

After all, he was an eyewitness to the gay agenda, up there on the banks of the Cahulawassee River. No wonder he’s conservative!;)

With going after the progressive media and citing D'Souza's movie in the same speech maybe, just maybe Jon Voight is the right person to start asking some tough questions about the media motivation behind creating and promoting Barack Obama.

I'd like to see some of the talking heads put on the spot about why they withheld so much information about the made for television president during the first campaign.

Jon Voight is a great actor, a wonderful man, and a courageous American.

It’s just a theory, but I suspect the Lame Stream Media is being supported by foreign interests that are in no way friendly to our nation’s success.

He puts his love of country before his career, a true patriot.

Unlikely. The revenue is from local and national advertising, but the political influence that’s motivating the editorials and content is no doubt what you suspect.

You are correct. It is reinforced by a self-reinforcing inbreeding that insures only those of like mind can survive in their culture.
