The moron, Margaret Warner of PBS' News Hour is a good example. During her early October segment about the Torricelli campaign dropout disaster, talking to a fellow named Batz from the Washington Post, and a narrow-faced liberal from some other location, something important didn't come up. Jim Jeffords....(snip)

"Was Hitler's control of the German media ever as complete as the Left's control of American mainstream media today?"

The media aside, one could make a case that the Left has much more control in the US than Hitler or his Nazis ever had in Germany.

They not only own the media, but academia, big (corrupt) business, gov't employees unions, unions in general, and the glitterati (i.e. Hollyweird)

And it things don't change (and change soon) our nation may come to the same end.

I must dissent.

An institution such as FreeRepublic would not have been tolerated in Germany during the Nazi era.

Dissent of most all forms was punished by the state. Do a search on "The White Rose Society" for a good example of this. (Though I must add that it is funny to see statist leftist think that the story is somehow more of a condemnation of fascism that statism in general)

While it can be argued that the left has a much greater influence in popular mass media, Nazi parallels don't fit the issues very well.

Can't stand this woman. She enjoys the credibility her being aligned with PBS somehow gives her, and it drives me wild. My husband watches this show faithfully, and this article is being sent to him right now! Thanks, WD.

BUMP for another example of media bias!

What’s the point?  October 02, 2002

Excerpt:

The moron, Margaret Warner of PBS’ News Hour is a good example.  During her early October segment about the Torricelli campaign dropout disaster, talking to a fellow named Batz from the Washington Post, and a narrow-faced liberal from some other location, something important didn’t come up.  Jim Jeffords.

The topic was the possible loss of the senate by the Democrats in the coming election.  You should get a copy of the text from that session.  If you didn't know how it actually happened, and just went by what these clowns had to say, the Democrats won back the senate in a voting booth! 

What actually happened was that Jeffords disenfranchised the voters of Vermont.  After marking a ballot for a Republican they discovered that they hadn't.  Every voter who selected his name, believing that doing so would help the Republicans keep control of the senate, was cheated.  After Jeffords had the win, he changed his party to Independent and gave the Senate to the Democrats.  The similarity between that, and what's going on in New Jersey is comparable to genetic cloning.

The ability of liberal “journalists” to leave out the central question is titanic. 

Jean Carnahan (D. Missouri) won her senate seat by defeating the evil John Ashcroft.  That's what you're left with after Warner gets through ignoring the facts.  The truth is that Ashcroft refused to be so rude as to say anything critical of a recently-widowed woman who had stepped into her dead husband’s campaign for the senate.  And, after Ashcroft handed her the seat, the first thing the ungrateful bitch did was to vote against his appointment as Attorney General!  He gave her the senate, and in return she stabbed him in the back.

When discussing that one, Warner forgot to mention the last part.

Not that liberals can't turn on their own kind. Torricelli (D., New Jersey) didn't quit out of a noble sense of love for his country or his party.  Somebody told him to get out or get hammered.  Aware from the polls that his campaign was going down the tubes, and their grasp of the senate with it, somebody way up in the party told him to take a walk or face a Democrat committee in the senate, and be ground into hamburger on charges of corruption.  Quit or find his pension rejected and any hope of future appointment to office gone, gone, gone.
