UNBE-FREAKIN'-LIEVABLE!

Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.

This woman, a TV news veteran, actually had the unmitigated gall to state on the air that no Republican President, living or deceased, would deserve the amount of media attention Ted Kennedy is getting.

So tell me, Ms. Rooney, what would a GOP President have to do in order to 'deserve' such attention? Murder a woman and commit treason with the Soviet Communists???

"Media Bias and Obama's Teachable Moment"

One of the most respected journalists in the nation today, Mike McCarville, points to an excellent analysis of the media bias that occurred just after Barack Obama's gaffe concerning the Cambridge Police Department's handling of an incident involving a Harvard professor.

The analysis also highlights a 'teachable moment' for Obama in the handling of such matters in the future.

To be completely frank, one has the wonder about the stability and insight of a U.S. President wading into a local police matter, particularly before he has any knowledge of the facts.

'Big Lib' Media Cover-Up on Obama Healthcare

In an address before the American Medical Association yesterday, Barack Obama said the following concerning single-payer, state-run healthcare--'I'll be honest, there are countries where a single-payer system works pretty well.'

The problem is, not a single major big liberal news outlet quoted Obama on that statement.

It was simply removed from the record as if it were never uttered.

But CNS News retained it, published it, and scolded the 'big lib' media for attempting a cover-up of Obama's real feelings about healthcare and how it should be handled.

News Media Bias, Part 1,650,225

Regarding the ongoing, endless examples of media bias in reporting the news, perhaps THIS is one of the primary reasons large, liberal newspapers are quickly going out of business.

What's Going On With Cable News Channels?

A curious phenomenon is taking place in the cable news business as it has become apparent that a major shift has occurred with viewer preference.

Decidedly pro-Obama outlets such as MSNBC and CNN are losing revenue and viewers in droves. At the same time, however, alternative sources such as Fox News are gaining new viewers by leaps and bounds.

A look at the latest ratings will reveal a shocking realignment that bodes ill for the Obama administration.

Read all about it at Columbia Conservative Examiner!

Thanks!

The Death of Journalism in America

Journalism as we once knew it in America is dead. Alternative sources of news have been forced to fill the void left by a mainstream media that has abdicated its responsibility to keep the public informed on ALL of the news accurately and fairly.

This is my subject today at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

I would deeply appreciate your giving it a read and passing it along.

Barefaced Lies About Current Unemployment Rate

The mainstream media is reporting that the latest unemployment figures have reached historic proportions, particularly in California, where the jobless rate stands at 11%, supposedly 'the highest ever.'

That statement is blatantly FALSE.

Read my column at Columbia Conservative Examiner to get the real story.

Here's a clue. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the unemployment rate went to 25% nationwide. So how can a jobless rate of 11% be deemed 'the highest ever?'

More mainstream media, partisan BULLssshhttt, that's how.

MSNBC Blasts Palin Again

Even after openly admitting that it actively promoted Barack Obama for President during its supposed 'objective' news broadcasts, MSNBC has blasted Sarah Palin yet again.

As if the campaign trash the network threw at the public concerning Palin and her family weren't enough, an MSNBC anchor stated yesterday that 'Palin is unqualified.'

How so? By whose standard?

Oh, you mean according to the standard of a network that is owned by a company that was promised bailout money by the Obama team if it would help get the candidate elected?

The statement took place as the anchor was interviewing the filmmaker who is releasing a documentary on Palin in late February entitled, 'Media Malpractice.'

Instead of 'the UNfairness Doctrine' in news reporting, I support what I call the 'Justice Doctrine.' The only way the American public can get justice with regard to a blatantly biased mainstream media is to shut down MSNBC, ABC, NBC, ABC, and CNN...along with the NYT, WaPO, and Newsweek.

CNN THUGGERY FOR OBAMA--THE PALIN AMBUSH

CNN has shown itself beyond doubt to be just as biased, partisan, underhanded, and untrustworthy as the New York Times, Newsweek, NBC, CBS, and ABC.

In an interview with Sarah Palin on Tuesday, the reporter who interviewed Palin either deliberately or unknowingly misquoted a statement from venerable conservative publication National Review.

The subject of the question to Palin was the Leftwing media's unfair treatment of Palin, which is well-known. Yet the reporter sought to make it appear as if conservatives also question her intelligence and ability.

National Review's Byron York wrote the piece in question, during which he stated that mainstream media coverage of Palin was designed to make her appear dumb, stupid, inept, and unqualified.

Yet, CNN's reporter read those words from the article as if York had assessed Palin in such a fashion, which is completely and blatantly FALSE.

According to sources at Fox News and other lesser-known news outlets, CNN was contacted early this morning in order to call their attention to the gross error. So far there has been no apology and no retraction.

A great disservice has been done not only to Byron York who was savagely misquoted, but to Sarah Palin herself. A apology from CNN is owed to both.

If the misquote was an simply error, it only points to gross incompetence on the part of CNN, particularly since many Americans do rely on the leftwing network for political coverage.

But if the whole thing was deliberate, then it only shows more 'in the tank' Leftwing thuggery the mainstream media is willing to adopt in order to get their guy Obama into the White House.

It is obvious that if Barack Obama is elected, then the New York Times, the Washington Post, Newsweek, CNN, CBS, ABC, and NBC will make up his centralized propaganda corp we can call 'the Politburo,' as per the old Commie Soviet Union.

She's One of Us

So, a few critics and mainstream media analysts have determined that GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin 'appeared nervous' in the Charles Gibson hit-piece interviews on ABC last week.

Well, wouldn't you be, too?

One of the things Americans love about Sarah Palin is that she's one of us--a real person, a regular, average, mainstream American trying to make a living and raise a family at the same time. She speaks our language and holds to our values.

Thus, suppose you as another average American citizen had to face an attack-dog of the mainstream media after 2 weeks of being smeared, maligned, ridiculed, and lampooned for being a normal, everyday American woman who is running for office?

Over the past 2 weeks, the mainstream media on TV and radio, in magazines and newspapers, and on the Internet, has referred to Palin as a 'redneck,' a 'religious fanatic who will force all Americans to adhere to her religious beliefs,' a 'man trapped in a female body' because she can fish and hunt, a 'whore,' a 'bad mother' because her daughter is pregnant out of wedlock, a person who should not be running for office because she is raising a family, although the very ones making that statement are themselves working outside the home and raising families, etc., etc., ad nauseum.

These sleazebag elitists snobs, most of whom had never even heard of Sarah Palin until 3 weeks ago, would make these charges about someone they barely know.

I ask you, what normal human being in their right mind would NOT be nervous facing one of the mainstream media attack-dogs who had said some of these things?

Palin's 'nervousness' only showed us even more clearly how normal and human she is.

But she calmly and assertively made her case before 'the great Gibson' in spite of that nervousness. And, as the interviews wore on, she seemed to catch onto Gibson's game of intimidation and gradually lost her nervousness as time passed.

Perhaps Palin instinctively knew that Gibson was putting on display the perfect example of what conservatives have been saying about the mainstream media for over 40 years--that they are decidedly biased toward liberalism and detest conservatives--and that if she simply let him continue with his heavy-handed intimidation tactics, looking for one of those 'gotcha' moments, the American people would see up-close-and-personal just how thoroughly the mainstream media is 'in the tank for Obama' and is pulling out all the stops to smear Palin and get McCain defeated.

Gibson's behavior in the interview has already caught the attention of media specialists in colleges and politics. One in particular stated that the media is 'on thin ice' if it continues with these tactics, and that there is sure to be a backlash by the American people against such displays.

Obviously, some of these specialists, who themselves are liberals, are deathly afraid that the media may well blow it for Obama. Thus, they issue a warning.

But the media is clearly not blowing it for Obama. The truth is taking care of Obama all on its own. Charlatans are found out sooner or later.

Rather, the only thing the media has done is to show us that we cannot trust their slanted news stories and that Sarah Palin really is a normal human being 'just like us,' in spite of their attempts to ruin her.

"Peasants With Pitchforks' Uprising Against MSM

The mainstream media is reeling from the furor it has created over it's hate-filled bashing of GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin.

As John McCain and Sarah Palin took their post-convention campaign tour of several areas over the last few days, 'peasants with pitchforks' have greeted the reporters who are covering them with derision, shouting and pointing fingers at them, demanding that they 'be fair.'

Several MSM columnists have reported being stunned and even 'frightened' by the amount of negative attention readers have given to their smear campaign against Palin.

These idiots in the media don't have a clue.

They are so out of touch with mainstream America that they are shocked to discover the average voter in the vast American heartland views their punditry with disdain.

The reason is not far to find. Most of these elitist snobs don't know anybody in the heartland. Their friends and acquaintances, their social circle of fellow elitists, surround themselves with a mutual admiration society. They are so out of touch they actually believe their views are accepted by, well, everyone.

One columnist in particular stated that her column on Palin was viewed by 100 times her normal readership and that the vast majority were enraged that she would say such things about Palin.

She said was shocked by the attention and that the response 'frightened' her.

No greater example of the self-congratulatory snobbery of the MSM exists than the CBS gathering of its political correspondents covering the RNC on one of its morning shows this week. Katie Couric, Bob Schieffer, Jeff Greenfield, and others responded to the charge of negative coverage of Palin by claiming they had been 'totally fair.'

By who's standard? Who helped them arrive at their decision? Did an independent watchdog group come to this conclusion? Or did they simply get together and decide all on their own?

The idea that the CBS partisans arrived at their assessment with the help of an independent source is rolling-on-the-floor laughable.

Don't look now, Katie and Bob, but the millions of 'peasants with pitchforks' who are enraged at the tone of your coverage are watching you as never before. And they are demanding that you back off McCain-Palin and do some investigative digging on Obama's scandals--something you have refused to do.

For more info on the citizen uprising against the MSM, click here for the complete story at American Thinker.

MSM Reporters--Aroused, Gushing, Frothing

Have you noticed yet the difference between the manner in which the mainstream media reported the Democratic National Convention and the way they've handled the Republican National Convention?

This week during the RNC, Couric, Gibson, Williams, Cooper, Olbermann, and company have run hit-piece after hit-piece on the McCain ticket, particularly against Sarah Palin. The interviews they have conducted have been negative in tone, and their interviewees have been decidedly negative in their assessment of Palin.

During the Democrat's Convention last week, however, at one point I actually thought that the female reporters were sexually aroused as they covered Obama. I even thought the male reporters exhibited signs of arousal.

They gushed, frothed, giggled, laughed, clapped, cheered, and worshipped right along with the Democratic delegates.

I would be willing to bet money that had Katie Couric stood up, you would have found a wet spot in her seat. And had Chris Matthews stood up, you would have probably found he had a 'woodie.'

The entire lot of them had the appearance of being drunken with adoration of the Obamessiah.

These are not reporters. These are partisans who are working to get the Democrats elected. This is why, if the 'Fairness Doctrine' ever returns, we should DEMAND equal time on the major networks to respond to the blatant bias of their 'news reporters.'

The entire lot belongs in the dust-bin of journalistic failure.

CBS NEWS HATCHETS UP MCCAIN CAMPAIGN

It becomes more obvious with each passing week that the MSM is in the tank for Obama. No greater example can be found than tonight's broadcast of the CBS (Cheerleading for Barack System) Evening News.

Katie Couric's lead story is about John McCain's new ad which compares the rock-star type worship of Barack Obama to infamous Hollywood starlets such as Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and others.

It is a legitimate criticism, and much of it Obama has brought on himself.

But Couric referred to the McCain tactics as 'the low road,' echoing the sentiments of Barack Obama himself.

And then she brings on Bob Schieffer to parrot that line, calling the McCain ad 'silly' and 'weird.'

Schieffer ended his segment by these ominous words, 'McCain is not getting any traction at all, and with this latest ad it is hard to see how anyone will take that seriously.'

Wow. No traction? What about poll after poll that shows McCain gaining on Obama in many of the battleground states where the Democrat has been ahead? What about the latest Gallup and Rasmussen polls showing that among likely voters, McCain is up by 4 over Obama?

I have a message for Katie and Bob. It's hard for us out in the American heartland to take YOU seriously.
