Fight Fire With Fire
Vanity | 9/3/08 | Lee Roggenburg

Posted on 09/03/2008 7:24:32 AM PDT by LRoggy

After seeing the perverted coverage of Sarah Palin, it is time to give the media and their left wing bloggers a taste of their own medicine. We need to establish and fund a web site that compiles information about the personal lives of the major media and the left wing bloggers in a consolidated place.

It should be modeled on YouTube so that anyone can submit a video of past predictions, compromising pictures and other embarrassing items in their past. We all remember how Larry Flynt offered to pay a $1,000,000 bonuty for Republican dirt. We don't need to go that far, just provide a forum for them.

The Web Site could be called MediaHypocrites.Com (if this is not already used). Since the media controls much of it's own destiny (except the ad revenue flow), the best way to get back at them is through humiliation. Make them look like the Emperor Without Clothes to the average American.

And the beauty of this is that they also fall under the 'Public Figure' category, making them less able to sue for defamation.

If any Freepers have knowledge of how to do this and have prepared business plans for news websites in the past, please feel free to post and get in touch!

He is already destroying the country. Remember when he said
something like who does he think he is dealing with? about John mcCain. Well now we know who Obama is dealing with!

The media is doing a fine job of destroying the democrats and themselves and don’t need any help from us.

I'm with you on this one. I do point out some of the conflict of interest when it comes up in discussions with folks who are unaware, but I don't want to 'go after' anyone. I just think going on the offense, and basically giving them some of what they have been dishing out would not be our best move. Let them continue in their role of the aggressive bullies. Most people don't follow this stuff the way we do and if we go on the attack folks will probably think both sides make a pretty good pair.

“McCain will shoot this down, thank God. He fights but he fights by the rules.”

Why would McCain even get a vote on this?

Emotionally I am totally with you guys because I am angry at what the media is trying to do to Sarah Palin. However, I think we are starting to win. The country is seeing who the decent people are and who the vicious slimers are. So, I think we would be far wiser not to sink to their level and diminish our selves by publishing such slime. On the other hand, if they succede in bringin Sarah Palin down with their slime. Then count me in and we will make them pay one by one.

Bad idea, IMHO.

Nothing you post on your site will be picked up by the mainstream media, which is, after all, heavily biased towards the Democrats.

You will, however, forfeit the moral high ground and lose all ability to credibly object when the media picks up lies and scurrilous rumors from sites like DailyKos.

Campbell Brown’s father is a convicted felon in Louisiana. This is a fact.

Someone should shove this fact right in her face in an interview.

Which reminds me.....what happened about all the rumors that Obama is really a homo?

I think those rumors were deemed to be too offensive to the homosexuals of the world.

Nah, I heard that Barney Frank vehemently denied them.

I did have an outline and web designer all set up for this very idea. Sort of turn the tables on the media and put the spotlight on them - making them feel very uncomfortable and exposed. I still have ownership of the domain name TargetTheMedia.com and would love to participate in putting something together.
Regards,
Paul

We are not those kind of people. My parents taught me never to stoop to the level of the person unfairly attacking. Aggressively correcting distortions and lies is one thing but I don’t want any part of a blackmail operation.


I specifically said not to go that route.

I envision a YouTube style site that we could:

Post video of pundits predictions and gaffes

Post incriminating videos (such as public drunkenness) of media and left wing bloggers

Have a dedicated page link to each media member so that embarrassing items can be posted

Etc.

He doesn’t get a vote. He will completely disavow it and run against it for the low-life tactic that it is.

My first reaction is who in the media had abortions & who paid for abortions. Who's daughters had abortions & who's son's girlfriends had abortions. Bottom line they are angry because she is pro-life. If Roe vs Wade is overturned they then would feel guilty about the abortions they had or paid for. Just like those who were for slavery, they will be shown to be heartless monsters.

My second reaction is, will we become like they are? I say threaten to do it, but don't.

VET THE MEDIA.

Do this with the idea of showing how liberal and in the tank for Democrats they are. Each pundit is a registered Dem, comes from Dem backgrounds, works and contributes to Dems etc.

What would be wrong with investigating rumors by spending some money on professional investigators? Become a web based Enquirer.

Excellent find-the time has come for a purely right wing news outlet. None of this “fair and balanced” crap. The MSM has given up every pretense of being even handed.
