Scarborough To Republicans: 'Stop Blaming The Media'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/08/2012 4:48:17 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Should Republicans unilaterally disarm in the media-bias wars? Joe Scarborough apparently thinks so. Arguing that it distracts Republicans from performing the political blocking-and-tackling needed to win elections, Scarborough has called on Republicans to "stop blaming the media."

Saying "let's makes this personal," Scarborough cited as an example of the supposed distractions to which he was referring the controversy over the tape Morning Joe aired in September from a Romney campaign stop. Readers will recall that the clip seemed to show Romney asking the crowd, which had been chanting "Romney!", to change to "Romney/Ryan." But Scarborough suggested just the opposite: that the crowd had been chanting "Ryan!" and that Romney asked them to change to "Romney/Ryan."

Oh, hell...Ann Barnhardt expresses it much better,,,

If you do not now understand that the media is enemy number one of you, your family, this culture and of God; if you do not understand that the media is SATANIC, then you are either terminally stupid or you are hopelessly addicted to the satanic filth, agitporn and lies yourself. Pick up the phone, call the cable or satellite company and TURN THE SHIT OFF NOW. Oh, and by the way, I found out how much you are paying for each cable channel. It is roughly $0.12 per month per channel. I saw this figure in a recent story about Algore's Stalinist propaganda channel, Current TV, which they are now trying to sell. Current TV goes into 60 million homes and has annual revenues from their cable and satellite royalties of $86 million. That is $0.12 per subscriber per month. So, you are offering that "pinch of incense" of $0.12 per month (at minimum) for every channel that is included in your cable or satellite package, including the sodomite channel, including MTV, including MSNBC, whether you watch it or not, and even if you block it on your cable box. Your money is still going to these outfits every month, and in doing so you proclaim that "caesar is lord". St. Polycarp, pray for us.

Our national nightmare would not be occurring without the complicity of the MSM. They should be first to the gallows.

I, for one, will not be silenced about the assorted branches of Pravda that pervade the media.

So, the guy who makes $2000 an hour to link arms with his fellow “journalists” and make sure that NOBODY talks about Benghazi or the Hurricane Sandy fail before the election wnats us to “stop blaming the media”?

Nice try, Joe.

simple...for me...NO CABLE = DIAL UP SERVICE.

just don’t watch the programs/channels that pander to all things left....there are a few out there, learn to be a selective consumer.

actually my cable provider is slightly right of center, but as a good business model, they offer the channels that will keep consumers happy, ergo a broad spectrum.

Starve the $1000 an hour Mika monkey, and starve the $2000 an hour Joe monkey.

What would you expect them to say? And I would respond with, "Why not?" There's a preponderance of material that would shut them up in an instant. Just ask this guy.

But Scarborough suggested just the opposite:

Since Scarborough always gets his 'facts' completely bass-ackwards, does that mean he really wants us to blame him more? :-)

The state run media was the opposition, and in this culture, unbeatable.

A guy who works for MSNBC doesn’t think the media is biased? MSNBC certainly is.

Scarborough is an idiot. He has caught Mika disease, speaking illogical and stupid phases in an attempt to be noticed. Since the election is over, morning Joe’s already measly ratings are going to drop to next to nothing since the majority of his viewers are people tuning in to see a trainwreck of fools. The interest in the Obamacons is gone.
