No more liberal media for me ever since the election. No news watching on CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, etc. and no reading of liberal columnists or liberal newspapers. If they want a socialist country they can do it without me.
Why would you not add Fox to that list? They were utterly horrible. They missed EVERYTHING. Sure the others are Liberal biased but Fox has proven to be so full of it as to be useless. I wasn’t a real fan of news entertainment before but I watch and listen to none now.
My wife and I used to get the paper in Mobile, AL. After the election we called the paper and cancelled our subscription. They asked why we were canceling, and we said because of their liberal bias and the results of the election. They said they had had many similar cancellations.
I unsubscribed from the newspaper and stopped watching broadcast/cable news November 3rd, 2008.
I get all my news from FR !
We all have to come to terms with the truth in that the majority of the American media is working towards a one- world socialist government rule. Control everything from birth to when they plan your death.
Oh... NOW they want their credibility back.
The leftist journOlisters can all drop dead and I wouldn’t shed a tear. I might even fire off some fireworks.
Leave us not forget the mass media pile-on of Romney when he DARED CRITICIZE that mealy-mouthed US Embassy in Egypt’s press release. Why it was instantly ridiculed and then reversed-englished to make it appear that Romney was the one not taking the Ambassador’s death seriously. To my mind that was a real demonstration of the entire MSM protecting Obama and the stench has never been so foul!
Fox did cover Benghazi.
The cover-up by the other news outlets of this huge and most disgraceful episode in USA history was the last straw for me.
However, I am proud of Fox’s coverage. The other networks are treasonous.
The change in tone of the “news” papers and alphabet networks is to help build pressure on the Repubs in the House to cave to the Dems demands. Notice the stories on how the Repubs look to cave-in on the fiscal cliff, while the Dems hold fast. Looks like the Dems are willing to go over the fiscal cliff, but they get no pressure from the “media” on this.
I think it’s past time to go Gen. Pinnoche on known journ-o-lists....it might make the rest think twice before lies to paper.
Yes, nor will we forget Candy Crowley doing “real time fact checking” on Benghazi for Obama during the debates. What a crock.
*putting lies to paper.*
Same here. And let me thank all the freepers who volunteer to do the dirty work.
I did the same with the WSJ - told them that their reporters(I mean Journ O Listers) were hanging in the same bars as the NYT. Also my stock and closed account. Getting a bigger boat - getting ready for the end.
Consequences are the dead tree media will get a Federal bailout. Most probably in the form of an additional fee tacked on to our internet service which will be funneled back to them.
When half your potential customers are rooting for you to die, that is not a good business model.
As others debate whether the media is responsible for President Obama’s reelection, one point is inescapable: the media is comprised of individuals with their own inherent biases. And it would be naïve for any of us to think those biases do not, at times, impact journalistic decisions.It would be nice to once again have journalism be "comprised of individuals with their own inherent biases” again. That was the way it was back in the founding era up to the Civil War. Each newspaper had its own perspective, which was important to its readership. Kind of like talk radio stations . . .
But since the advent of the telegraph and the wire service, journalism claims objectivity - a self-negating claim - and delivers only uniformity in self-serving hype.
