Well I understand why this happened.CNN was so busy working on that explosive new revelation that the RNC spent 150,000 dollars on a wardrobe for Sarah, that they couldn't be bothered by something as little as the facts. Don't you understand the importance of Palin's wardrobe to the safety of this great nation?

with obama's surprise lost, it well could be the nail in the coffin for the msm as we know it. though the public does have a short memory. I for one would love to see an end to the daily print media (waste of good paper) and as far as the alphabet networks? feh.. give me the local stuff and forget their opinions on everything else.

They gleefully throw the last shreds of their credibility overboard, content in the knowledge that once the reign of the blessed Obamessiah begins, it will no longer be necessary in the new Ministry of Truth.

At least they are digging their own grave, nice and deep. I think it's up to us to fill it in.

Too bad they weren't gone before this election cycle because they are really doing the lifting for Obama... Promoting his propaganda and then taking every little thing about the dissenting party and twisting it...

Its very clear that the media recognizes some of Barry's deficiencies and projects them on to Sarah Palin when they criticize her for lack of experience. Unlike Barry, she does not have the race crutch to lean on and she's strong enough that she doesn't need it.

It's bad enough they distort John and Sarah and spin, mask, hide and obfuscate everything for 0bama and Joe Gaffesalot. No- that's not enough for them. They have to instigate infighting between McCain/Palin and conservative pundits as if to alienate the right-wing blogosphere/pundits from our own team! What depraved assholes!

The real problem with the MSM is that it hasn't died.

The circulation, viewership, and ad revenue may be down, but that pain has not yet been felt in the reporting and editorial departments. With all due respect to our resident Zombie, the MSM is like a group of zombies, moving forward in lockstep and attempting to infect as much of the population as possible with their left-wing viewpoints. This election's issues and candidates would be perceived far more clearly by the American public if the members of the MSM had all gone bankrupt and died, and America got its news via a large number of small news gathering organizations.

I don't think this is the year MSM died. MSNBC is gaining viewers, many or most Democrats think Bush stole the 2004 election and probably 20% of the country thinks he orchastrated 9/11. These crazy ideas came from the media.

However, this is the year the media solidified it's role as a full time "muddy the water" organization for the Left in this country. They just need to report enough crazy stuff to keep the average consumer of news confused and/or disgusted enough to want change. And the Progrssive wing of the Democratic party will give them all the change they can handle. Lots of heat - little light.

re: #48 eon

Yah, was wondering about that.

I have to disagree with Charles. This is not the year the media died.

This is the year that the MSM finally consolidated itself, very publicly, and have declared thier full cooperation with the leftist radical agenda.

They did this for two reasons. They have tended toward being a mouthpiece for the left for years and they see the direction that the country is going in, and they are firming up their position as the Pravda of the West.

Don't ask questions (Joe the Plumber, do you hear that), don't tell the truth (Hey Palin, you c*t, you got that) and don't fight fair (McCain, what are you thinking).

That's the message from the new, rebirthed MSM. Long live our comrades in the Ministry of Truth.

It is important in the context of what the hell the RNC is doing shelling out enough money to pay for a week of ads in Colorado or Virgina (excl. the DC market). That's not Gov. Palin's fault, but the entire GOP apparatus has been asleep at the switch.

Read Liberal Fascism for a scary look at the media in the 30s and who they endorsed then (read Mussolini). I guess things haven't changed much.

Oh, to some extent, yes it has: the NY Times and LA Times (among many others) have laid off hundreds of newsroom staff over the last couple of years, with lots more to come. They are definitely feeling it, but haven't the slightest clue that their hypocrisy and obvious lack of objectivity have anything to due with declining circulation.

"This is the year media died." With all due respect Charles, the media died when you uncovered Rathergate - the TANG memos.
It's just now that folks are starting to see it for what it is - dead.
I suspect the word "Journalism" will be the next word to die and be erased from new dictionaries.

Expect an unending minimising and demonization of his opponents.

I'm still eagerly awaiting the MSP's blanket coverage of a male Obama supporter beating a female McCain supporter. I mean surely they will give this ample coverage after heavily covering the now debunked story of someone yelling, 'kill him' at a McCain rally, right? Right?

*Great News*

Al-Quaida web site supports McCain for President.

[Link: www.breitbart.com...]

"This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier," the message said. "Then, al-Qaida will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush."

"If al-Qaida carries out a big operation against American interests," the message said, "this act will be support of McCain because it will push the Americans deliberately to vote for McCain so that he takes revenge for them against al-Qaida. Al-Qaida then will succeed in exhausting America till its last year in it."

A very bitter lesson.

This has been going on for a very long time. McCarthy tried to attack it - rather inartfully - in the 1950s as was hung out to dry. Those of us who work and produce snickered at the radicals from the 60s when they began to dominate the media and education establishments in this country. They had to work somewhere we thought - so if they cannot DO anything we let them teach and write.

We thought they were off in the corner safely making baskets and singing folksongs. Their ideas were so crazy that we laughed at them. But we forgot to take notice that their's were the only ideas being heard by the next generation. They were fighting a war and we did not even realize we were being engaged.

I used to go to cnn.com a lot for news. Have you noticed that, probably three or four days a week, the CNN political ticker's headline is "new poll shows slipping numbers for McCain"? I've been watching this in amazement for months now. If I had a blog, I'd do a little investigation and post about it. If McCain's poll numbers were really going down every time CNN said they were, then he'd be at about negative 20% by now.

It doesn't even matter if their poll numbers are completely made up, that's not the point this time. It's simply not possible to start at 48% of the vote, and then decline by an integral number of percentage points, fifty times in a row.

Al-Quaida web site supports McCain for President.

[Link: www.breitbart.com...]

"This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier," the message said. "Then, al-Qaida will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush."

"If al-Qaida carries out a big operation against American interests," the message said, "this act will be support of McCain because it will push the Americans deliberately to vote for McCain so that he takes revenge for them against al-Qaida. Al-Qaida then will succeed in exhausting America till its last year in it."

I saw where NBC Nightly News was going to interview Bob Barr but then they rescheduled so they could follow his campaign to New Hampshire and give a more in-depth report. Anyone else think this is a ploy by the MSM to try and take voters away from McCain? Idiots. MSM can't be bothered with any third party candidates until promoting them could possibly help The Chosen One.

This is not the year the media died; it is the year that any pretext of an objective media died. The MSM is just the Democrat's propaganda arm.

Given that ad revenues are shrinking as the economy shrinks and the viewership and readership of so many of these organizations is dropping, how many will survive a sharp downturn? It's routine now for so many of these organizations to report lower revenue and profits. When do some of these just start to disappear?

re: #66 opinionated

You ain't seen nothing yet.

They now have a stake in the functioning of an Obama Presidency....

It now appears that BO's campaign is, through a compliant media, playing out a script where he is already governing. IMHO that's what Biden's tin foil hat remarks were all about; trying to convey the impression that BO is already POTUS. I think BO's big TV infomercial will try to reinforce that perception.

The MSM and the BO campaign (redundant I know) seem to think that they can play the "perception is reality" game with the American people. They will find out that, bitter, clingy, "rednecked" and "racist" as we may be Americans still realize that perception is perception and reality is reality.

And we really dislike being played for fools.

I think BO has gone a "bridge too far" and he will pay the price for it.

This morning I asked two security guards and a Joe Plumber type if they'd heard about Biden's crisis gaffe. Of course they hadn't, I mean- why would the msm want to tell them about that?! So I told them that not only did they promise us socialism, but an international crisis as well. "Oh for Chriss sake!" said the Joe. He looked disgusted too.

Of course a religiously-suicidal group like al Queda would support McCain, since he offers them what their faith demands: death.

Do you see where I'm going? They will report the news in a way guaranteed to provide a peaceful contrast to the almost constant crisis reporting of the Bush years. People love peace and quiet, and they want as much of it as they can get. If they believe that the media reflects reality, and the media projects peace and quiet, then they will believe that Barry brought them peace and quiet. And so it goes.

re: #150 DirtyDave

The pretext of an objective media was always a façade. There was never an objective media, whether in the US, or any other country. The early newspapers were very partisan and wore it on their banner. That's why several are known as The Republican, The Democrat, etc. It was when the media hit the radio, and later TV, that the façade of fairness was adopted. However, it was never fair, nor completely objective.

It's time the façade was dumped.

It makes you wonder to what extent and for how long this has been going on, and what affect it has had? We all know about cronkite and tet, etc, but how deep does this rabbit hole go? Read Liberal Fascism for a scary look at the media in the 30s and who they endorsed then (read Mussolini). I guess things haven't changed much.

One cannot help but think the country would not be so divided right now almost down the line if we hadn't been spoon fed this stuff from the moment we first sat on the couch (and then got up and turned on the tv for us old guys :)

This has been going on for a very long time. McCarthy tried to attack it - rather inartfully - in the 1950s as was hung out to dry. Those of us who work and produce snickered at the radicals from the 60s when they began to dominate the media and education establishments in this country. They had to work somewhere we thought - so if they cannot DO anything we let them teach and write.

We thought they were off in the corner safely making baskets and singing folksongs. Their ideas were so crazy that we laughed at them. But we forgot to take notice that their's were the only ideas being heard by the next generation. They were fighting a war and we did not even realize we were being engaged.

When your 10 year old comes home from school and tells you he wants to move to another country because the USA is so bad - but he cannot articulate a reason why it is bad - you realize we have allowed these folks to make a intellectual toxic stew which is destroying us from the inside.

Whitaker Chambers called them out as long as 1930s in his autobiography Witness.

The long term effect of this is fewer and fewer people on the right - the local business owner or doctor or dentist - who used to be the bulkheads of local and state government will step into the ring. The people who work and produce will be replaced by the people who agitate and redistribute wealth.

My ten year old and I discussed this just last night. We had a long, long discussion where she asked me things like
"What is a Democracy?"
"What does it mean to be a leftist?"
"Why would a government want to take your money?"
(and my favorite)
"Why did the government force banks to loan money to people who couldn't pay them back, that doesn't make any sense?"

She and I have a series of history books we read together called "Story of the World" She writes a quick summary after each chapter. She used to draw cute pictures to go with them (Like two guys getting defenestrated onto a pile of poop) now she writes more in depth analysis and leaves out the pics. We are about a year into it, so in explaining these things to her, I drew on the lessons from history we had already studied.

These 20-30 intervals of history daily are really paying off. I allow that one day she may lean left, but if she does, she will do it with facts and thought and would hopefully bring rationale with her.

This is not my idea as I heard it this AM from a caller to the Bill Bennett "Morning in America" show but what someone should do is make a political ad called "The Audacity of Asking Obama A Question". Show the Joe The Plumber episode and then bullet-point all scrutiny that Joe was subjected to by the press and the ridicule by the Democratic candidates themselves. End it with something like "Do you really want a government that will treat its citizens with this much disrespect for asking a simple question of it? Don't the Democrats believe in free speech any more?"

It really is scary, the very Stalinist/Nazi behavior that the Left has attributed to the Bush administration and the Right in general but could NEVER come up with a single concrete example is very much alive and on display on the Left. Nutbags on the Left can scream and accuse the Right of totalitarian behavior but they can do this day after week after month after year and nothing ever happens to them, but let one poor schlub ask the Chosen One a simple question and the Left unleashes the KGB on them. (Too bad it wasn't an alien doing the questioning, then maybe all Joe The Plumber would have had to worry about was a gentle anal probing instead of the red-hot poker that the lamestream media and the Demonrats inserted.)

I am sick and tired of this media. Truth be told, deep down inside, this is what I want:

I want to declare war on them. Not physically, but war nonetheless. If O gets elected, I want the price to be the media's blood. I'm not talking about just an alternative media. I want full-on, declared war on them. No quarter given, no safe haven. Nothing. I want every journalist thoroughly investigated and exposed for what they've done. I want for every one report lying about conservatives and GOPers, two are legitimately discredited as journalists. They destroy our lives and livelihood like they did Joe The Plumber, we destroy theirs (in an honest and truthful manner. I want to be better than them).

In short, I want to battle against them the Chicago Way.

That'd be my dream anyway. If I had the money I would not hesitate to dedicate my career to exposing them all.

Sorry, just had to vent for a second. Just a silly dream, that's all.

All quotes are "out of context": that's what makes them quotes. And the excuse "out of context" gets used too often, but this is exactly a case of what everybody thinks they mean by that phrase.

Taking "give me liberty of give me death" out of Henry's speech is technically out of context as it is a quote, but accurately portrays what the whole dern speech is about.

This isn't the first time they've done this.

Consider the statement, "Everything I do is right." Sounds arrogant, no? Now consider, "I hope everything I do is right." Suddenly, the sentence is transformed into a rather commonplace wish. We all hope to do the right thing. (Well, most of us.)

This is what Gibson did to Palin. Except as many Christians are prone to do, she said "I pray" in place of "I hope."

GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, "Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God." Are we fighting a holy war?

PALIN: You know, I don't know if that was my exact quote.

GIBSON: Exact words.

No Gibson, NOT her exact words. BIG difference between "we're sending out soldiers on a task from God" and "I pray we're sending out soldiers on a task that is from God." It's just a Christian's way of saying, I hope we do what is right.

/Aside: Dear Mr. Reagan, please forgive me from above, for how I cursed at you in 1980 for DARING to beat Carter. I was younger, and undoubtedly stupidly blinded by the same media that is abou to anoint King Obama. My God, we sorely need you now!

The First Defenestration of Prague!

That must have been an awfully wide window. Prague is a big city.

Gov. Rendell getting skeered. Wants some big Dem. names to hit Pa. hard.

whoo-hoo, we're gonna win this.

Yes - assisted by the disgraceful Jack Murtha who has called his own constituents "racists" and "red necks", and by a local reporter who called them "crackers".

Ed Rendell fears the bitter/clingy folks who will not forget nor forgive Obama for his disdain of them. And they will not forget which side Ed Rendell picked in this battle when he's up for re-election.

Mine works.

Lies come from the father of lies. To whom has the mainstream media sold out?

re: #203 Indefatigable

I'm with you. If Obama wins after all the lawsuits are adjucated, then we must immediatly pronounce Obama's regiem as illigitiment and work to derail any nominations he makes to his cabinet or, worse, the Bench. No mercy, indeed.

Hey, another dubious Obama association! Must be Wednesday.

(I hadn't heard of this one before. It's two months old. Obama was only 47 at the time./)

United "We the People" can stand, divided, "We the People" will not be.

Good one, tfk. Ben Franklin said the same himself,

We must, indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.

re: #194 eon

Tanning bed media certainly did begin with Ed Morrissey at Hot Air.

I think it fits in there right before Extinct Stream Media and After the Obama media. It's the attempt to fake that all is well, remain calm, as everything comes crashing down.

Of course, there's a flip side to all this. As more and more media outlets go belly up, there will be fewer news sources that do the actual original reporting. Those outlets will actually be more powerful than what we have now.

I don't think that's a good idea either.

For one thing, the media would do well to admit the blatantly obvious - that they're biased. Hard left biased, but biased.

Once you get that out of the way, the public will respond in one of two ways: (1) they'll start paying attention again because they'll have a better understanding of who's shaping the editorial policy or (2) they'll tune 'em out completely and the outlets will fold.

(2) clearly appears to be winning out even now... the outlets have been exposed by the blogosphere for its rampant leftist claptrap, and viewers and circulations are down year over year and this has been accelerating.

How to fix the problem? There are no easy fixes because the bias has become entrenched in the newsroom.

Straight news stories are a rarity. You can't even run a business story without the political bias filtering how it's delivered. Everything is politicized.

The media would be wise to start by stripping the politicization of raw news. Get back to basics - who, what, when, where, and why. And keep the editorializing on the why to the editorial page. Stop masquerading editorial opinion as a news report. Be consistent on reporting scandals, particularly political scandals. Name that Party should not have to be played every time a political story runs because Democrats never get affiliations or headlines, while GOP is plastered the moment they do something wrong (breath, sleep, eat).

Even papers like the NYT can do that from time to time. The problem is that it's so rare that you have to actually point this out to people.

Communist News Network?

Did anyone else see this Dan Rather comment? Warm up the flying pig.

First paragraph

Former CBS anchorman Dan Rather says there is a huge double-standard in the media when it comes to coverage the Barack Obama campaign receives, which is clearly made evident in the lack of scrutiny given to comments Obama’s vice presidential running mate Sen. Joe Biden made earlier this week.

re: #229 DirtyDave

Yes, the press was very partisan way back when. It's not so much I mind a partisan press; I just don't like a partisan press telling me it's objective. I would have a lot more respect for CNN, CBS, NBC, et al, if they would just say we are liberal, Democratic and we bias our news to support our beliefs and go from there, let the chips fall were they may, etc. I just want a little honesty here.

I still won't watch them, but I respect them more.

How are things in the UP? Pretty as ever, I hope.

The thing about the era of the Partisan Press was that it was very clear which side it supported, and if you didn't like that, there was a paper that supported your POV.

Failure is not an option.

It never is. There is no such thing as the "no win solution".

re: #75 opnion

They will do the exit polls conducted by Barry Supporters with Barrry supporters & get the results out in a hurry. The desired result of course is to dampen down the vote as things move West.

I still smile when I recall the look (shudder) on Susan Estridge's face (shudder shudder) in '04 when she was drinking the exit poll koolaid for Kerry (assuring him of a landslide win) and found out the REAL poll of voting had NOTHING to do with the DEM exit poll data. Lets hope for a repeat this year!

BTW, the Zogby poll today states that JM and BHO are tied amongst NASCAR fans? NOT A CHANCE, kids..... BHO is "only" 2 points down amongst military families? Are they looking to third cousins to get this under "family"? I took four stats courses in college - one can make up any result they want if they make sure to randomly contact the right people...

re: #232 Eowyn2

Yes- buy a book or print it out online.

DO NOT give these people your money anymore. No excuses. Not after what they've done this year. They MUST be made to pay, and the only way that will happen is if WE quit paying them to f*ck us up the ass. Because that's basically what we're doing.

re: #198 Opinionated

Perhaps CNN's Drew Griffin had a talking-to after his exposee of Obama's connections t Bill Ayers from a few weeks ago...

He's probably been ordered totoe the line or you're as done as Beck...

Drudge has a counter headline to the Palin-clothes story, but the link doesn't seem to be working:

They spent almost 3x as much on food as the GOP did on clothing Palin.

It would be so rude of the media to ask what tasks Michelle Obama performs in her "outreach" job to justify a $300K salary. And let's not even mention her $200K raise.

Hey, the history books for ten year olds don't go THAT deep unless its inportant.

Last night we read about Qian Long, the long time emperor of China, who promoted the books he thought were important and burned the ones he didn't.

The only date I've had her memorize cold is 1683. Lizards?

Yes. There was a Second Defenestration of Prague about a year and a half later.
