Who won tonight? The MSM.

Posted on 11/04/2008 11:58:48 PM PST by toughwuss

A sad night for sure, and looking back over the last eternity it seems, there is one thing for sure, the McCain Campaign didn't lose (he got closer than any other republican could have gotten this time around), the Obama Campaign didn't win, The MSM won.

The Media won its battle for the Hearts and Minds of the American People.

This process began about a year into the Iraq war, when the press systematically began undermining the country, the president and all of our safety with how and what they reported... this built into a movement that had not our countries best interest in mind, but the ultimate outcome of changing the political landscape at any cost...

I'm sad to say, but they Won. The population have been dumbed down to the point that they cannot or will not look past this veil that covers the reality. I pray enough come out of this comma that we only have to endure 4 years of this and come back stronger.... but tonight I can only weep for what is to come.

Yes, Bush played right into their hands, playing the part of the compassionate conservative punching bag exquisitely

If Sean and Rush are driven underground, then count me in as a damn resistance fighter.

I will be damned to hell before I support The Black Racist and his COMMUNIST thugs.

I will respect the office of President and thus Obama... But make no mistake... this was not a “fair” election by far... unless you would call a fight between an elephant and an ant a fair fight. Obama benefitted from many things, but my contention i still honor, the root of the win was the MSM. Even Obama’s money wouldn’t have been what it was had they not been in the tank, he wouldn’t have been able to fundraise had an honest media even remotely looked into how he was raising money, or to complicity manipulate the populace they way they did... again... the MSM is the winner.

I keep hearing about the dinosaur media. Old media is extinct.

How can something extinct defeat us?

Frankly I liked his speech tonight and what he said about McCain.

These are just words. He is bred in Chicago street politics, and this is going to be war. I agree with you to one extent. We should give the man the respect a US President deserves, unless he proves he is not deserving of the title. I intend to give him the respect his party refused to show President Bush.

republicans, whats left of us, should totally shun the press. No interviews, no talk shaows, NOTHING!

The other direction. Republicans should establish a large, durable presence in the press. Conservatives need to become reporters, writers, editors, talking heads. The liberal monopoly over the journalism industry must end.

So turn off the freakin’ TV and stop going to their stupid Pravda pseudo-news sites! Quit giving money to their advertisers, and credence to their Hurricane Katrina of lies!

We expected respect for Bush, no matter what their party.

And did we get it? Hell, no.

If they try to get rid of talk radio there will be riots in the streets.

You are full of crap. Lock step all you want and go back to DU.

“Give Obama the respect he deserves.” - Obama has done NOTHING to deserve my respect. Should I respect a socialist; a man who has known terrorists as friends; a man who listened to sermon for 20 years debasing our great country.

Go ahead and support this person that will destroy our country. BTW, YOU and those who elected Obama disgust me.

Scamper back to DU with this post as a trophy.

Tomorrow morning I’m reprogramming my dish so that I receive NO news stations. Even Fox let us down.

I might even get to save $20 off my subscription. I got a higher package just to get Fox.

We had that. It was called Fox News until they drank the Obama Kool-Aid. No, we need to keep quiet and make 'em wonder what we are up to.

Balderdash, Get ready for the fights to come and pay these mfers back, measure for measure for 8 years of hate and discontent. I will extend to them every courtesy that they extended to us. Dirtbag traitors.

Yup.

Hannity and Colmes is the only FNC program I watch from this point forward, and it's only for Sean.

God Bless Sean Hannity for trying to warn Americans about this Black Racist Communist bastard.

Everyone else on that entire damn network can rot in hell, and this especially goes to Brit Hume.
