I only hope this is accurate about the reactions of the populace. I fear, however, that people generally still accept what they see in the papers and on the networks.

I see many more “Don’t trust the liberal media” stickers than Obama stickers. So maybe people are getting it.

[KansasGirl]

No, the media is over-playing their hand. I had an apolitical friend point out to me that the media has become part of the Obama campaign and that she is sick of them smearing Romney instead of discussing issues that matter. The media is too obvious with their agenda. She’s voting for Romney. Interestingly, she is exactly the kind of voter the Dems are targeting. She is pro-choice and pro-homo marriage. She is cluelss bout poliics. She thnks Obama is a good guy. She is voting on fiscal issues this time around though. She is ticked that Obama continued to run up the deficit/debt after calling it “unpatriotic” and “irresponsible” and promising to cut the deficit in half his first term in office. Romney should run and ad about that, btw. There are so many hard-hitting ads Romney could run. Why isn’t he?

The so-called "fourth estate" (A nick-name for the press) has dropped all pretense at being non-biased and have thrown their lot in with President Obama and the democrats and have turned all their fury loose on his challenger, Mitt Romney, the GOP candidate

Absolutely no doubt.

The MS media must be defeated!

Mark Steyn called them “court eunuchs”-perfect!

Well, actually it’s a continuation of what happened four years ago. When media trucks lined the streets by Joe the Plumber’s house, and went ballistic trying to dig up any kind of dirt (divorce, taxes) to smear and discredit him... an average, everyday citizen-on-the-street who dared to question their Messiah... all while consciously ignoring any tiny investigation into Obama’s mysterious past... well, then and there, I knew America and its media/political dynamic had entered a new world. One where the media has TOTALLY devolved into propagandistic enforcers for the socialist ruling-class. Very akin to Soviet or dictator-style societies. And proof America is probably on its last legs.

“Open Media Assault On GOP Candidate”

Yep, and unless WE the people put a stop to it, it will be this way from now on.

"... before another black man takes up residence at 16000 Pennsylvania Avenue."
Actually, it may not be very long since this is pretty far down the street from the White House.

[red-dawg]

I think when Romney is elected, he should revoke the white house press credentials of any reporters that publish lies. That’s the only way we can put them on notice.

The so-called "fourth estate" (A nick-name for the press)

If the lamestream media are is the fourth estate, then we may look forward to their trouncing by the "stealth estate," and that be us.

[nanetteclaret]

The “Fourth Estate” is not a “nickname” for the press. It was first used in the late 1700’s to refer to the press as the fourth sphere of influence in Britain - the others being the Lords Temporal (aristocracy), the Lords Spiritual (clergy) and the Commons. By referring to this description of the press as a “nickname,” the power that the press wields is not acknowledged. No one should dilute that description because THE FOURTH ESTATE IS THE FIFTH COLUMN. (Fifth Column = a group of people who act traitorously and subversively ***within their country*** to undermine it out of a secret sympathy with its enemies, especially during a time of war.)

[tumblindice]

It’s not just “news” companies. David Letterman’s lips were firmly pressed to Zero’s posterior again last night.

[a fool in paradise]

For the first time in my memory, the Mainstream Media is in open assault in the GOP candidate for President.

And these are the people who will get to frame the debate questions and control the televised discussion (spin) of them afterwards.

[Jim Noble]

Totalitarianism is a process, not an event.

The terms “Republicans” and “white males” have been used, without objection, as comic terms of abuse for two decades. Lately, the abuse is no longer comical.

It’s a short step from where we are now to actual repression. All that’s missing is a win for Obama, and he will have 50 months to act out against the Class Enemy - and I expect that he will do exactly that.

And I don’t buy the “80 million riflemen” crap. I have lots of friends who are as well armed as a rifle company and who are very well trained. Most of them would die for the Constitution.

And up against 20 year old Marines and soldiers,with close air support, that’s exactly what they would be doing.
