Republicans never expected to get a fair shake in the Big Three networks' coverage of the 16-day government shutdown, but the final tally of stories blaming the GOP is stunning: 41 stories blamed Republicans and zero blamed Democrats.

Nightly, 20 million Americans heard “a version of the shutdown story that could easily have emanated from Barack Obama's own White House,” said the new report from the Media Research Center.

Circling the drain...

[manc]

the media does not even hide their bias anymore. their so called news is a mouth piece of the white house and the Dem talking points.

The GOP passed bills to open Govt and yet the media ignored that, Reid brushed off helping kids with cancer and the media ignored this, Bozo was making sandwiches and playing golf as this went on and the media ignored it.
The media ignored how Bozo refused to talk or how Jarrett wanted the shutdown.
The media ignored how vets were used and monuments were closed or even how it cost more to close them off or even how illegals could have a rally there while the park service was supposed to be closed off

The MEDIA ARE A SACK OF LYING SH@@

Yup. And that would explain the difference in the polling results btw the Democrats and Republicans. Thanks to the MSM.

Seriously, who is surprised by this?

We lost this war a LONG time ago, and will continue to lose until we adopt some of the tactics of the left, like calling reporters out and exposing them PERSONALLY for biased stories.

Glen Reynolds point out “Winning in politics against the media is like mounting a successful amphibious invasion without air superiority.”

The media is todays TORIES.

This is exactly why many of us saw this as bad tactics when we had the media in aposition to face the REALITY daily that Obamacare was imploding week one! Instead we again gave the media an out..... they ganged tackled the right in the end zone for a safety.

Please post - do they blame Obama for any of this ???

[CaptainAmiigaf]

What do you mean, “COULD” have emanated from the White House? Of course you jest. Those nightly “newscasts” absolutely, without doubt DID indeed emanate from the Spite House.
I find it unneccesssary to listen to the Network news. All I need is the initials (MSNBC) and the subject and any FR poster could write a duplicate script to be read over the air.
That initial comment works with every one of them, by the way.

Conservatives have lost the battle of media to liberals.

[Mr Radical]

You can never hope to win a war if you can't identify your enemy . . . so the Republicans will never get anywhere until they recognise the MSM is the real enemy; what did Obama have to do to win this contest? Zero. He sat back on his a** (or played a round of golf or maybe two) and the media led the fight into virtually every home / every car (and wherever there is a media oulet).

Aplogies for a vanity post, but see our post for October 15.

In the next round, we should insist that the White House press corps be required to participate in Obamacare, along with the president, cabinet, and other political appointees.

The next round...minus all rinos!!!

Uh, it did. The MSM is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat party. Who doesn't know this?

BTW, the reason this problem exists is because Republican presidents and presidential candidates coddled these people. Want to solve the problem? Be as ruthless with the leftist media as Obama is with anyone who agrees with him. No access for lefties.

[manc]

The GOP has t become ruthless like the left, call these parasites out on live camera on their own networks, no more wishy washy crap from the GOP.

Letting Crowley and others do out debates was stupid, going on MSNBC being nice is stupid.

Call them out, get some balls and don’t let them get away with their lies from the white house and the left
