FrontPage makes the point nicely.
"Candy Crowley’s deeply unethical behavior in yesterday’s debate was yet another reminder that the media no longer feels bound by any ethical standards and that their involvement in the political process is not informative, but conformative. They are not interested in creating a forum for a national conversation, but in controlling the conversation in order to control its outcome."

Well I be damned, is somebody on vacation? Good to know you're still alive out there Gun.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dude. I'm workin' on it...
ReplyDeleteheh heh
Child; the republic is DEAD, No "vote" can change that. The "media" is a CIA/NSA/DOD front for propaganda -nothing more. They do and say what they are told to,by humever is in power at that moment.
ReplyDeleteI do love your spelling of "whomever".
ReplyDeleteI disagree though, with your main point. I say the media is a front for Liberals/Progressives/Socialists/Communists.
They are powerfully against the govt if it is conservative. Remember how "W" was eviscerated regularly?
There's a conspiracy alright...but it's definitely one-sided.
Gunslinger,
ReplyDeleteWhy would the Liberal/Progressive/Communist side need to be different than the (extra-national by now) CIA/NSA/DOD?
IIRC, there's a theory that JFK was shot by CIA. Maybe MLK, too. Makes for a more violent society, so SS, NSA, CIA, FBI, news media all profit - making Statists of all stripes more powerful...
And if it wasn't an inside job? The results would differ... How, exactly? The results are the same every time. So many profit from so little effort, in a sense - it's the way of the sheeple. the alphabet agencies are just another front for statist power anyway...
As far as media demonizing W - or any R in the White House - always true. They believe they are Elite, they tell people what to think. We'd be better off if we terminated most of them, including old favorites like Walter Cronkite (Good actor, delivering the news as he did; evil man, as a result of his accomplishments. Sad, really, but I can't tell if he was a dupe, or complicit. And he's dead anyway - but Legion has come to fill his shoes. Ammo used to be cheap, we might need to resort to bow and arrows soon to meet costs. But they don't deserve quick and easy - I think they are now fully complicit and intent on harming the society as long they profit from it.)
