New Ad Takes On Liberal Media
Powerline ^ | 10-31-14 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 11/01/2014 12:53:19 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

We wrote here about Conservative War Chest, which has produced some excellent, hard-hitting ads this election cycle. Their latest came out today; it is a frontal assault on liberal media. Spokesman Mike Flynn says:

Our new ad shows specific, concrete examples of news executives and partisan reporters trying to hid the truth from the American people. They play such a role trying to influence our elections that they should be on the ballot.

The ad singles out:

* New York Times cover-up of the IRS scandal

* CBS killing Sheryl Atkinson coverage of the Benghazi scandal

* ABC smears of the Tea Party

* George Stephanopoulus and Candy Crowley acting as Dem surrogates in Presidential debates

* Comcast and NBC sponsoring left-wing attack machine MSNBC and news executive Phil Griffin as ultimate “suit in suite.”

The new ad is running initially in North Carolina. Here it is: (video at link)

Will it work? Well, if Democrats can run against the Koch brothers, Republicans can run against liberal media. But it’s not just tit-for-tat. Many, many Americans–not all of whom are Republicans–are disgusted by left-wing media bias. It is an issue about which many are passionate, and which will motivate some to get to the polls. Besides, you can never point out to often that every day in America, the Left has its thumb on the scales in the person of liberal media.

It should have added that MSNBC has given Al Sharpton his own TV show even though Sharpton helped incite a racist mass murder of 8 people at Freddies Fashion Mart in NYC in 1994,

It doesn’t seem to get much coverage, but the heads of CBS and ABC news divisions have relatives on the White House staff.

The liberal MSM will continue on until the leaders literally have their feet held to the fire and then have to hide in humility to nurse what’s left of their legs to heal.

In the meantime, a large segment of ignoramuses will lap up their drivel.

Nice list - but the tip of the iceberg...
