I have scanned the web sties of CNN, ABC news and WoPo and not found a single article on the tea parties happening around the country. Not a word… Compare this to the hyper-coverage Cyndy Shehan received and..well…it’s evidence of a commitment to a partisan agenda.

What make me angry is the deception – the hijacking of the tradition earne over many years of an intent towards objectivity and independence in the media – to cover up a partisan and ideological agenda.

This will have one of two consequences: either they will usher in a totalitarian regime where the government chooses what is published, or all media will be recognized as partisan endeavors and evaluated as such.

In any case, what will end will be the basis of Western democracy – the believe in objective truth (“self-evident” truths as the Declaration calls them) that form the basis for a compact of government and a rule of law under which disputes are settled by public debate and constitutional processes.

Instead we will face endless conflict between competing schools with their own closed set of facts and interpretations that make meaningful dialog impossible because the systems by theihr nature preclude falsification.

Which will bring us back to the age old barbarism of might make right, with the attendant unending misery that has dominated humanity for so much of its history.

At least, we need get this conspiracy out into the open and let the battles begin in the light.

only the beginning.

The embryo of the left’s own Minitrue.

It would almost be amusingly ironic, if it weren’t so terrifying in its implications.

Every time one of their slanted articles comes out, we should ask them: “Are you a member of JournoList and did any of this material come from there?”

Put them on the defensive and make them defend their little clubhouse. Half of them, maybe more, will lie but then when the truth comes out later eventually, we can beat them over the head with it.

If Robbie Gibbs wants to find the real cabal, he should get on this listserv. It sounds like a real intellectual vacuum.

This is why every news story whether in print or on TV uses the exact language. The public is badgered with pithy phrases which relay nothing but stick in the mind.

This kind of stuff will either kill “journalism” dead or consolidate the power into fewer hands and kill us dead instead.

…if they wrote ‘toe the line’ instead of ‘tow the line’.

Just my two cents.

Today was the last print version. it will be online only due to falling profits. WaPo had amazingly failing profits too last year ( this includes Newsweek). The NYTimes was saved only by a loan from a Mexican millionaire. It is not a coicindence that the news publications that are most biased are also suffering the most from the downturn. Despite the Left’s best efforts and the votes from last November, the American public really isn’t buying it. Literally.

This explains how all the stories sound the same. I always wondered how ALL of them were wrong about the same things.

Now, you would think, if all of them are commiserating together and discussing ideas, their news product would be much better than it is. This is pathetic if they are teaming up together and what we see is the best they can do. Good grief. They stink at this!

No wonder the Left has been going on about the mythical “vast right wing conspiracy” for so long-they’ve already been there, done that for so long… more projection by the left explained…

The MSM has been compromised since at least 2004. The fact they are collaborating should come as no surprise to anyone. Hell, you could say the Media has been coompromised since the closet-liberal Cronkite was ruining peoples dinner back in the ’60′s

A friend and I were having a conversation about how lefty newspapers and magazines are exactly like software designed to give legal help – Quicken Family Lawyer and the like. The template is there, all you need to do is fill in the blanks about the particular situation and – shaazam! – there’s your will, or front page story.
