Bozell, Conservative Leaders Send Letter to Media: 'You Are Rigging This Election'

This election year, so much of the broadcast networks, their cable counterparts, and the major establishment print media are out of control with a deliberate and unmistakable leftist agenda.  To put it bluntly: you are rigging this election and taking sides in order to pre-determine the outcome.  In the quarter century since the Media Research Center was established to document liberal media bias, there has never been a more brazen and complete attempt by the liberal so-called “news” media to decide the outcome of an election.

A free and balanced media are crucial to the health of this country. It is your duty as journalists – as outlined in the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics – to “distinguish between advocacy and news reporting,” while simultaneously “seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues.”

The Tea Party needs to picket the networks next year.

Marco Rubio is NOT a natural born Citizen.

He IS a La Raza racist.

But notice the Gallup Poll that 60% say they have "no trust" in the media. We'll Always see that 35 to 40% in EVERY poll, no matter what the question, that supports the Democrats, and consequently, the LameStreamMedia.

We’re talking about a free press. In this case it’s free press for Obama. Let them go. If we’re so stupid as to believe them, that’s on us.

Freedom of the Press abuse deserves retribution.

I hold no particular brief for Nixon, but he got screwed in Watergate. Mark Felt (aka 'Deep Throat) was leaking specifics of an ongoing investigation to the press. The stenographers Woodward and Bernstein were too stupid or too hateful of Nixon to realize that what Felt was doing was worse than what Nixon was accused of. Investigative Journalism my pasty white buttocks.

How many of the LAME Stream Media prostitutes reported this ?

Logan Churchwell, a spokesman for the group, told FoxNews.com that the organization accessed Florida's complete voter registration roll and cross-referenced it against 10 percent of New York's list.
It identified more than 1,700 people with voter registrations in both states.
Of that number, 31 people allegedly voted in both states during the same federal election cycle.

Both Florida and New York require voters to cast ballots that correspond with their permanent home addresses.
Under federal law, voters are prohibited from casting more than one ballot in the same election.

"This is further evidence of just how susceptible our election system is to voter fraud," the group's president, Catherine Engelbrecht, said in a statement.

The group said it has alerted the Office of Florida Secretary of State, the New York State Board of Elections and the U.S. Department of Justice of its finding.

"This should serve as a warning to any individual considering committing voter fraud in this year’s election," Engelbrecht said.
"These findings are only the beginning of our effort.
As today is National Voter Registration Day, it's important to remember that no candidate or cause is worth a felony conviction."

Make sure your friends know how the Democrats Fabian Fascists cheat.

They found that a four-step process is employed, step 1 of which is the “swamping” method.

“You put as many on the roles — it doesn’t matter if they’re legitimate, it doesn’t matter if they’re living or dead or if they’re named Dallas Cowboys, which we’ve actually seen in our research,” Churchwell explains.
“Once you turn those in at the last possible second, you give election officials very limited time to be able to go over each of those registrations and make sure they’re valid.”

As the left seeks fundamental structural change to the U.S. government, AIM says that faction is keeping to its “amoral, means-justifies-ends philosophy.”
In step two, activists sue state authorities for “voter suppression,” which creates further chaos.

“You have activist groups like ACORN, or one of its new manifestations like Project Vote, suing state agencies, saying we’re not seeing enough voter registration,” says Churchwell.
“And in step three, the Department of Justice — Eric Holder’s department — sides up with those lawsuits against states and tries to use the power of his office to get the lawsuit to go through and work their way.”

The final step, according to AIM’s spokesman, involves the “leftist echo chamber” discrediting allegations of voter fraud, supporting the “suppression” theme, and promoting advantageous legislation.
The goal of this process, he explains, is to form a taxpayer-funded voting machine that guarantees maximum participation from the left and undermines the ability to manage elections and prevent fraud.

“And at some point, someone’s going to say ‘Jim Crow’ — and we’ve gotten nowhere,” the AIM spokesman concludes.
Accuracy in Media’s James Simpson writes that this is a “deliberate, premeditated, comprehensive plan” to win the 2012 presidential election —
one he says is in keeping with the methods, associations, and ethics of the “Community-Organizer-in-Chief” Barack Obama.

These people truly are VILE !

When I argue media bias with lefties I invariably get a response along the lines of “It isn’t ideological, it’s economic” meaning media sells what the public is buying. I respond by asking why anyone would purposely drive away 50% of your potential audience by trying to sell something that is patently untrue and overtly offensive and the don’t have an answer.

What they refuse to acknowledge is that confidence and trust in the old-school media is at an all-time low - and diving for the bottom. And it is 100% preventable.

> anti-monopoly laws are unconstitutional.

As applied, technically such corporations would not be treated as monopolies, but required to divest according to the Broadcast Ownership Rules of the FCC.

In effect, it could return to its rules in use in 1975, updated to new technologies and markets.

Journalism, once a vaunted profession

When was that?

[wastedyears]

I go by the first government’s rules, not the ever-expanding government’s rules.

Just once, it makes you wonder whether we could have used the Fairness Doctrine against them by requiring a 30 minute Republican rebuttal after every newscast...

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks cdchik123.

[TBP]

[Nebr FAL owner]

That will show them that conservatives are serious.
