I have seen some references to contacting the WAPO ombudsman. How common/influential are ombudsman, and do Newsweek, Time, CNN, MSNBC etc have anyone comparable?
Who on this site has the access to the MSM ? It is incredible that they haven’t had to answer to ignoring VJ during the torrent of unsavory disclosures…ignoring Yosi Sergant fiasci…and now ACORN videos etc.
I agree with Hannity who today said that Tes Parties will direct a lot of their anger towards the media.
Finally, what prevent some-one like Gingrich when he is on Meet the Press this sunday to hijack the discussion and let the viewer know that the Emporor has no clothes. Just like in the Presidential debates where the moderator asks a question and Obamo ignores it and instead uses it as an opportunity to spit out his talking points.
For instance if a republican is asked about Joe Wilson and the lack of civility he should open a can of whoop a** . Educate the viewer about conceerns about the czars…lack of investigating ACORN et al, and do a good Glen Beck impersonation to a viewer who probably still hasn’t heard of Van Jones. Republicans and conservatives seem to want to convince the opponent….they need to focus on educating the ignorant (I’m not a haterl) viewer that isn’t a political junky like me.
This was my first post..sorry for the rambling thoughts. (I’ll go back to lurking now)

I can’t answer them.
“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964
Looks like a front page lurker, too.

Heh, heh – I think all Republican congressman will start calling Obama a liar if they can start raising as much money as Joe has!
Obama may not want to address Congress anytime soon….
That lying sack of *hit……
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
so... open thread? (nt)
