Newsflash to the liberal media…We have a choice these days! It’s not 1982, where our only choices for news sources were the liberals in ABC, NBC, and CBS newsrooms, and liberal newspapers.
We now have the internet, Fox News, talk radio, and numerous other sources for news that are based on actual facts, and not what some liberal news anchors and reporters want us to believe.
And will they ever learn that the reason they’re losing audience by the millions each year, and, therefore, ad revenue, is because they repeatedly turn-off over half of their potential viewers with their obvious liberal bias and insulting treatment of conservatives on a regular basis?
They don’t seem to either understand or accept that America is, and has been for at least three decades, a center-right country, and that out of touch liberals like themselves are a small minority. The chart below from a recent Gallup poll shows that Americans, by a 2-1 margin, consider themselves conservative, 40%, to liberal, 21%.
So why they continue to turn-off and insult over half of their potential audience is astounding to normal people.
Cases in point: A recent report on CNN about Sarah Palin visiting a Chick-Fil-A restaurant to show her support for the company’s president who had the gall to say he supports traditional marriage and was an unapologetic evangelical Christian…
For the music intro for the report they used the song “Stupid Girls” by Pink, then had the audacity to claim in their “apology” to Gov. Palin that it was just a coincidence that that song was used, and that there was no attempt to mock or insult her. Yeah right. They obviously think we’re all stupid by insulting our intelligence with that idiotic statement, but it’s us who are getting the last laugh.
CNN is just about on life-support due to hemorrhaging millions of viewers due to childish stunts like the one they pulled on Gov. Palin, as is MSNBC, which has become such a joke that Microsoft has finally had enough and decided to cut ties with the nutwork of leftist kooks and losers.
Then there’s Newsweek Newsweak magazine, a liberal rag that’s so pathetic it was actually sold for $1 a few years ago. Not for a single copy, but the entire Newsweak operation was sold for $1! I would have demanded at least 25 cents back myself.
Their new cover is a picture of Gov. Romney with the words “The Wimp Factor” in gigantic letters and asking if he’s just too insecure to be President…
Newsweak did the same exact thing when President George H.W. Bush was running for president in 1988, wondering if he was too much of a wimp to be elected.
Imagine how ignorant a liberal you must be if you consider a man that enlisted in the Navy during WW2 when he turned 18 and graduated from high school, and was a US Navy bomber pilot who was shot down in the Pacific.
They asked this about a man with President Bush’s resume- A war hero bomber pilot, congressman, senator, CIA director, and Vice President of the United States for 8 years, when his opponemt was the extremely liberal wimp Michael Dukakis.
So, to the lib media, if you want to know what an actual wimp in the White House looks like, here you go-

The answer to your question is “no”.
I always called it “Newspeak.”
Leftists in the media (and elsewhere) are a lot like the Russian guy who came in to the dojo one time for a lesson. He could not be taught because he already confidently knew it all.
Reality is irrelevant to such people.
It takes something along the lines of having one of the downtrodden crack their skull with a household object to open the mind of a leftist.
What a difference a few decades make. Back during GW I, CNN came on for the first time ever in Qatar on about Day 3. And we thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Of course, that was ALL that was on until the end of th4e war, so the kids were heartily sick of it by then. Anyway, we depended on it back then. And now look at it. Sad, just sad…
@ Mike C.:
CNN got worse as Fox News grew. Most of the times competition actually makes a network get better. what irks me is that CNN has a monopoly at airports. There needs to be a CNN-free zone.
Hopefully Time Magazine will be gone soon too.
The guy who bought Newsweek from the seller for $1 overpaid for it.

Exactly. What it means is that the magazine, as a business entity, was worth less than the sum of its debts. In a word, bankrupt. Probably the new owner was in the market for a tax loss….

Wow! The GOP School of Media Relations. RS McCain is really ripping the GOP on this.
The NYT has been shedding its TV and small but profitable media like dog hair to keep the liberal presses going and the young parasites in the money. But the end is near.
@ pat:
We’ve known that. The people who will vote for Obama are similarly classless. When Karl Marx declared a classless society as his goal, I don’t think that this was what he meant.

If Romney wins, I hope Charles has a huge breakdown and is taken in a straight jacket.

Obama has the presence of an egomaniac. He simply cannot be around accomplished people who think for themselves. They break his illusion that he is special. So he gets angry and pretends he has a unique understanding of things. No wonder he couldn’t practice law in the trenches.

I recall when Bill Clinton was elected my first thought was that my third grade teacher was apparently right, after all--in America, anyone really can become president.

Plus look at how Romney backed out like a punk from speaking the truth about Palestinian culture.
Rodan wrote:
(CBS News) Under fire from Palestinian leaders for recent comments suggesting that Israel’s economic success is borne out of its “culture,” Mitt Romney on Tuesday attempted to clarify his remarks, telling Fox News in an interview that he had not talked about “the Palestinian culture or the decisions made in their economy.”
“I’m not speaking about it, did not speak about the Palestinian culture,” “That’s an interesting topic that perhaps could deserve scholarly analysis but I actually didn’t address that. I certainly don’t intend to address that during my campaign. Instead I will point out that the choices a society makes have a profound impact on the economy and the vitality of that society.”
is the whole quote.
now, back to the real message, the economy.
“Instead of throwing more borrowed money at bad ideas, I will lower tax rates, simplify the tax code, and get the American economy running at full strength,” Romney said. “My vision believes in the ingenuity of the American people.”
back to the real issue.
@ coldwarrior:
He didn’t walk it back. He definitely said that the choices a culture makes have a HUGE impact on how successful it is. The point is the same.

And that, not Paleosimian “culture”, is what we want this election to be about. Truth told, I was pleasantly surprised by Romney ‘s speech in Jerusalem on Sunday. That he doesn’t want to get dragged into a big controversy to no purpose is just political smarts. The Paleosimians are a failed culture, but there is nothing to be gained by belaboring that fact.
“Palestinian culture” is an oxymoron.
@ Iron Fist:
romney’s been to london, poland, and israel.
good enough for me as that shows me his priorities on foreign policy

The Left is jumping all over him for appearing to back out. He would have been better off just saying, yes Palestinian culture is why they are backward. End of story.

I don’t trust Romney nor the Non Tea party Republicans on foreign policy.

Just on the basis of this latest trip abroad Romney has better foreign policy than Obama. Who can forget Obama’s proto-Nuremberg Rally in Germany where he declared himself a “citizen of the world”?

@ Rodan:
I understand your concern but really unless (heaven forbide) another 9/11 happens..I just don’t see any nation building going on. Romney is smart enough to at least have advisors concerning this not to mention the middle east is on fire. (Not that it hasn’t always been) but obama has thrown gasoline on it with his Arab Spring. I think Romney knows who the enemy is in the middle east hence the reason he went to Israel.
But all I’m reading by the AP is Romeny’s overseas visist was a failure and racist. Really?
@ Lily:
Romney supported the Arab Spring. Just remember who warned you what Romney’s foreign policy will be. The good thing is, he will finally totally discredit the Nation Building Wilsonian wing of the GOP.b Then in 2016, we primary him out and replace him with a real Conservative.
Romney will be the last nominee of this version of the GOP. Lose or win, the GOP will undergo a change in the next few cycles.
Rodan wrote:
Wait, so… why exactly was Romney’s overseas trip such a “public relations disaster”?
@ doriangrey:
It was a disaster for Obama. That speech in Jerusalem is going to cost Obama Jewish votes. That’s why the MFM is so determined to make it into something bad for Romney. The media are an active part ofObama’s re-election campaign.
