If you are regular reader of my nationally syndicated weekly column you are aware that my condemnation of the media is not limited to my daily rant which is an exclusive feature to my blog. There’s an old adage that if you saw sausage being made you wouldn’t eat it, or something to that effect. Specific to that point, I’ve seen the behind the scenes of how news is produced and I can tell you, that with very rare exception it is like seeing raw pork meat with maggots in it being turned into sausage. If the image of rancid, half-rotten, maggoty, raw meat conjures up a sickening image in you mind – multiply that times 100 and you have some sense of my contempt for those in the industry from which I derive a portion of my income.
Those in the media do not provide honest impartial accounts pursuant to what happened, who did it, where it happened, when it happened, and/or how or why it happened – rather the media believes it to be their job to engineer, i.e., shape the news in a way that destroys those they condemn, and/or either destroys or promotes those they are specifically told how to treat.
The media helped destroy Herman Cain’s presidential ambitions, because Herman was an outsider who threatened the corrupt bastions politicians benefit from at the expense of we the people – yet they promote losers and liars.
The media is compromised of those who have long sense forgotten what it is like in the real world, if they ever really knew. They don’t shop where we do, they don’t eat or travel as we do, they don’t associate or gather as we do. They are self-encapsulated bubble people or cabals if you will, who whore after those they aspire to be recognized by.
If they cover Washington and government, they whore after those who are popular in that environment. They do it with the understanding, that if they slant or show bias to a particular representative, candidate, or policy position they will be rewarded with interviews, and gratuitous treatment.
Program hosts boast that they have the brightest people appear on their shows to explain a topic and that they themselves discuss subjects with the best and brightest, so that makes them our superiors. In reality there are a lot of people in the real world who are just as sharp as the presumed eggheads they genuflect to.
The point that I am stressing yet again, is that the media is going to do its level best to effect the outcome of the presidential election. Having successfully corrupted the campaign of the only true Washington outsider, they will spin and manipulate opinion, and dialogue going forward. One example of the point I am making is the buzz about Gingrich saying he would appoint John Bolton Secretary of State.
Nothing personal against Bolton, but in my mind that is like Bush appointing Donald Rumsfeld Secretary of Defense. I admit that at first I thought it a good idea, based upon his earlier accomplishments, but it became clear that the geo-military world had changed and a better choice then Rumsfeld should have been made. Specific to that point, I have said and I am not dissuaded, that Gingrich would have made a great vice president on a Herman Cain ticket or a very good cabinet appointee in a Herman Cain administration. Because Gingrich without a strong individual whom he trusts and respects in charge, has shown a remarkable propensity to make bad decisions.
My reasons were also based on Gingrich being just more of the same thing we have come to expect from inside the beltway. But the media will not tell you that. The media will not tell you that the primary concern of the cable channels is to make money and that that is done by selling ad time and that most of the ad dollars come from corporations with unmistakably liberal views. The media, especially FoxNews, will not tell you that the majority of their program hosts are liberals or are willing to report whichever way the wind blows for the sake of ratings points. I suggest you recall what Fox did to Glenn Beck.
This is no time to go to sleep. I firmly believe it is a bad idea to lean exclusively on the televised media to form or shape your opinions. There is a long history of dishonest and manipulative reporting – ergo, you do so at your own risk.

I make a prediction for 2012. I predict that we will see more BHussein than ever on CBS 60 Minutes, Late Show with Letterman, Tonight Show with Leno, Jon Stewart, etc. etc. as the media does its part to get BHussein out there in a positive light!
I only hope the Republicans in Congress have the guts to investigate this if the MSM doesn’t report their efforts as campaign contributions.
kelso: that’s a sucker bet…its campaign season…that scumbag will be spread around more that chicken dirt is spread around after walking through a chickenyard…
Massie, Here are a couple of clues to what some of the under 30 group reads. http://barefootsworld.net/usfraud.html
http://theantiliberalzone.blogspot.com I’m sure some of the moldy olders read them as well. Will you?
alan: these sites notw/standing…I stand on the facts and statistics…
Mr. Massie,
I fully appreciate your anger and horror at seeing Mr. Herman Cain cast out by the illiterate “Main Stream Media”, for I feel EXACTLY the same!!!
It is not my business, nor yours, nor anyone else’s if he has had relationships with Women outside of his Marriage. Those issues are between he and his Wife and his God, and are neither mine nor anyone else’s to judge.
I am sickened to see a Good and Honorable Man tossed to the wolves by “the Main Stream Media”. Somehow I do not recall this sort of witch hunt when Mr. Kennedy was in the White House, and though I was a youngster, even I knew he was out having his way with every hot thing in a skirt.
But please Sir, please, do NOT refuse to Vote AGAINST bho!!! I am completely underwhelmed regarding the current Republican Presidential Candidate wannabe’s, but bho MUST, MUST, MUST go, and every single Vote against this heinous monster is one that MUST be counted!
Respectfully,
Steve Tanner
I argue, yes! it is our job to judge! We make judgements every day. To go through life non-judgmental is the first step to becoming a moderate. Jesus warned us not to judge on appearance, but to judge with righteous judgment. John 7:24. So yes, we can and should judge.
However, as we know in Herman’s case and which has been well documented by Mychal, we have *far* more reason to believe these women who all came from Chicago, all had contact with David Axelrod, to be suspicious of dubious motives.
So, I condemn any man who is unfaithful to his wife. We are advised by Jesus to judge with righteous judgment. But I do not condemn Herman Cain because the proof isn’t there.
You are 1000% right about voting against BHussein *even* if that means voting for a serial adulterer like Newt. ;-( Dennis Prager had an interesting column today about that. Jimmy Carter was faithful to his wife, yet he was the 2nd worst president ever.
kelso: replacing obama w/ more of the same isn’t making things better…it is exacerbating an already existing problem…
steve tanner: I will not vote for the lesser of two evils…because as my grandmother used…the lesser of two evils is still evil…Herman was my first pick…I will not reward the political apparatchiks from the republican aisle who helped sabotage Herman….
“There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no, not one… For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:10-12, 23
If you won’t “vote for the lesser of two evils,” then you won’t vote at all — regardless of who the candidate is. Jesus Christ is the only man “without sin” (Hebrews 4:15) and free of evil. Every other man is evil to one degree or another, even those who have been redeemed by Christ. So, please, get off your high-horse and vote for the candidate who is the least evil and promotes the most conservative policies…
roger: your argument stems from the faulty supposition of we have to support anyone put up against obama…not happening…so I would suggest you get off your high horse telling me how I should vote…why should i compromise my beliefs for something that has no eternal ramifications…or are you saying that Daniel or the Hebrew children should have compromised…or maybe the first century Christians should have bowed to nero and cursed God…
Mr. Massie,
As always, THANK YOU for your courage and forthright address of the treasonous actions of bho and his Chicago Land / Washington D.C. thugs.
I would only add one thing – I too have had personal access to the underbelly of the “Main Stream Media”. I flew Helicopters for a living for more than 25 Years, quite a bit of that time for TV Stations (ABC, NBC, and CBS primarily). Though for a fact there were GOOD people there, most wouldn’t know the Truth if it bit them on their butts. Too many times I saw the same events, heard the same interviews, listened to the same stories, and was HORRIFIED when the News “reported” the event. To be honest, way too often the “report” had ZERO to do with the event.
Twice in my “E.N.G.” flying career I was very closely tied to the events and the outcome. BOTH times the people I had considered my Friends and allies turned on me with a vengenance, never once considering the ramifications of their very Public flaying of my Career. Hey – it bought them 90 seconds of “on air time”, so what’s the problem?!?
It also never occured to them that I had actually SAVED their stupid lives, after THEY had put all of us in a deadly situation through their own neglegence. Frankly, knowing what I know today, I might have made alternative decisions, though it would have cost me dearly (as in my Life).
Hang in there Mr. Massie! It’s not over ’til the fat lady sings!
Steve Tanner
steve tanner: why am I not surprised by what you are saying…thks for sharing…
Every time I think a R. Candidate is finally talking sense, the media comes up with trash and I have to sort through that maggot trash to figure out who is telling the truth. So far, I have Mychal who says it like it is and that is a blessing. Thank you! We do need Self Reliance to defend our Liberty! We need to get back to Free Markets (Important!) and demand and supply – Follow The Constitution! The economy does fairly well as long as Big Government stays out of it. We cannot trust Big Government because they are Fear Mongors and want total control over our lives and money. And, The Federal Reserve Must be abolished. We have no idea what is happening with the money. The Federal Reserve answers to no one. We need more Local Government and hold each State accountable. That way, our money stays out of Federal hands that only poop tax money away at fine dining restaurants. They haven’t learn yet that everything they eat turns to —t. The Bilderburgers and the Soros and the….Obama…Clintons…all want one world government. Greedy Fools, all of them! The socialism we see today in our Federal Government is by far nothing compared to what follows. The Maggot Media that doesn’t report the actual news is substandard and totally unacceptable! Don’t waste our bucks and time with it. “To destroy a society, you have to destroy their money.” Are we there yet?
marilyn: one of these days you’ll have to tell us how you really feel…lol…
Massie, Man did I get razzed for posting on an ole boys blog. I’m still getting hoots. Thing is those henhouse droppings just lurk and read. Maybe I’m guilty of it as well but even if most moldy olders don’t listen I still have to add my two bits worth. Did you listen to the debates? Old Newt can talk the talk but he will never walk the walk when Pelosie spreads his beans all over the media. there isn’t any so called conservative candidate in the running that can fix the country’s problems. If there was one who could do it, they would be forced out of the running or be dead before they could finish a term. Cain and the Kennedys found that out. There’s not any one in the Republican party, running for POTUS who could or would change things. Maybe when people get the Congress cleaned out then possibly things might change. The POTUS can’t do much with out Congress. Even though a Democrat POTUS has already been bought for 2012, then the next best thing is to get a Republican controlled Congress. One of the guys in my group has good ideas, it’s best he don’t put them on your blog. His writings are punctuated to frequently with the F… word. Keep up the good word. You might get someone else to vote Republican for Congress.
alan: boehner and repubs are no better than dems…none of them are for us…they are only interested in retention of power…and they view us as nothing more than conduits to their ends…
Amen Sir, Amen!
True Conservative? I’ll believe Newt is not a closet Progressive – Globalist – One Worlder when he satisfactorily explains his membership in the CFR
arny: you’re right about newt being globalist and quasi progressive…
I think this was Glenn Beck’s point and perhaps this is the reason that he said he could support Ron Paul over Newt. But, given the fact that Ron Paul’s positions are really anti-Isreal, pro Iran, in addition to the asinine position about foreign policy in its entirety I am really surprised that Glenn even made that idiotic statement! I agree with you concerning the fact that there are so many different areas to find fault with Newt before getting to the infidelity and marriages. Mychal, I just find it interesting how so many are willing to hold Newt to less of a standard than Herman Cain. Perhaps this is because there is not much information known about Herman Cain and people were really shocked and there is so much known about Newt.
elizabeth lovett: I agree about ron paul…and it was a concerted effort by repubs and dems to take out Herman…neither side wanted him and both sides feared him because he was an outsider and because he truly represented the concerns and interests of the people…add to that he would have dismantled the irs and you have several reasons he was taken out…
Your description of the “raw sausage preparation” fits the news media to a T. Why they want to stick up for “lyin’ obama boggles my mind. Why they want this free nation to go to socialism defies logic. Why they have determined that communism is the way they want to live makes as much sense as for them to play Russian Roulette with a .45 revolver and having one live cartridge in the chamber. I have stopped watching ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS and I have stopped listening to all government funded radio stations. I have also stopped paying my hard earned money for liberal newspapers. I am now finding more time to get more things accomplished and become less angry listening and reading the garbage these medias produce. Why don’t any of them talk about things of importance, such as: beginning impeachment proceedings against the Muslim White House resident and his cohort the Muslim Attorney General? Can they really be that sound asleep? Yup. Guess so.
noah: obama and holder are communists if not outright maoists…today most of the media is either from ivy league schools and/or former lwyrs…that explains why they embrace communism…
Mychal,
Interesting piece and sadly, very true. I watch Fox more than the other outlets when I watch at all.
They presume to be less biased to the left than MSNBC and CNN but that charade was totally unmasked when they blended Geraldo into the mix.
He was a in your face apologist for Bill Clinton when Clinton was under attack for his disgusting treatment of women.
He also has stated that the “occupiers” are really only exercising their constitutional rights.
I suppose in his progressive playbook, trashing public property, creating mountains of filthy trash, urinating and defecating on everything and anything, including our American flag, all come under the freedom of expression guaranteed under Article I of the Bill of Rights.
By virtue of the fact that what it receives and how it processes it, the Fourth Estate has been reduced symbolically to an outhouse.
yird: fox news has m long since dropped their charade of balanced…I watch Neil Cavuto and on occasion Greta Van Sustern…they are the only two I respect and the only two on fox news who do not slant the truth…
Amen to that brother.
I enjoy reading your rant and for the most part agree with what you have to say. Don’t you think it is time to stop beating a dead horse? Cain met with a wall of resistance and some dirty politics for sure, but he made the decision to fold his tent and go home. He would not have done well if the Democrats continue to control the Senate and the House remains full of Socialists. There is an agenda in this country and others in the world called Globalization (more palatable than New World Order don’t you think?) that is being imposed upon an unsuspecting brainwashed people. All of the media is owned and controlled by these globalists. Anyone that is against this agenda is an “outsider”. In case you haven’t noticed, Newt Gingrich is now their target, and apparently yours. What does that say about you? The same tawdry accusations have been brought against him, but he has decided to stay the course because he has been in Washington long enough to know every move they will make against him. Washington calls that an Insider. The frontrunner in the polls is an insider on the outside because he wants to change the way they do business. In my estimation he is the best candidate out there right now.
darlene: first I suggest you read my rants…because not that will help you see you are factually inaccurate…next Herman notw/standing the media remains…should I not point out corruption and bias in media…and that said my points pursuant to newt are factual…I think I’m more than qualified to have opinions concerning him…his personal life isn’t the focus of my concern…there are other issues that capture me well before I get to his personal life…and since I know him, like him as a person, worked w/ him and have been involved on the opposite side of initiatives he supported I think I am more than qualified to make my comments…
Amen, Mychal. I was raised in the Washington, DC area and witnessed first hand (My father worked for defense firm) the backdoor politics.
1) It’s not about getting the best deal for the tax-payer, it’s about what will you give me to get my vote or for me to get this in front of The Committee . . . and the press is right there spinning it so that they can have ‘Access’ to the powerstones of our government. Political whores – almost all of them.
2) I’d also like to ask “Why do we hold these ridiculous debates?” All that we do is give the press and liberals all of the ammunition they need to marginalize any candidate that we come up with – AND steer us to the candidate(s) that will have the least chance of winning against ‘THEIR’ candidte.
It’s like a football team allowing their competition to sit in on all of their practices then handing over their play book! We should insist that the person currently holding office participate as well, or not hold the debates at all. The questions are already rigged to trip up each candidate and give the REAL opposition ALL of the ammunition they need against ALL of their competition – and the PRESS is more than willing to facilitate this outcome . . . There’s your next piece!
Keep doing what you’re doing! Hopefully, the people who care will see the light and get pissed off . . .
michael: your comments are spot on…
Mychal: I guess I’m in search of a “wailing wall”… Herman is gone, Bachman and Santorum will stay in single digits. Palin and Ryan aren’t running unless they can be drafted. I don’t think anyone I would like to see lead the country stands a chance against the machine called the “press”. In that they de-press, com-press, re-press, and sup-press rather than im-press is duely noted. In a perfect world, I wouldn’t vote for Newt. The world isn’t perfect — and we’re getting farther from it every day. Who will stand loudly, even obnoxiously, and at least offer resistence to Obama’s prepetual nightmare? Who will stand in the face of the press? Who will jump in front of the train? Our choices have dwindled and I don’t have a wailing wall. Our beliefs will hold us and, in the end, the Truth will set us free. God will stay on His throne.
doc doc: newt is just more of the same inside the beltway washington and fact that he would have bolton as secretary of state makes my point…
Writing in Herman Cain is tempting ,but I fear it will help Obama stay in the White House. I pledged to Mr. Cain’s campaign and will honor my pledge by sending in my financial support. But I WILL vote for the republican nominee in order to take votes away from the democratic national disaster: OBAMA!!!
fay: I will not vote for the lesser of two evils…voting for the lesser of two evils means you still have evil just a different amount…and doing so simply rewards those on the right who helped sabotage my candidate…
I think it’s a shame that we need a conservative news network to balance CNN and the rest. Why can’t we just have “straight news?” I recall that Walter Kronkite, who worked for CBS, was the most trusted man in America. When the Founding Fathers saw fit to protect freedom of the press, I don’t think they had sponsored advocacy in mind.
james sonax: you make exactly the point I address…
Mychal – I have got to get you away from food metaphors. I will loose weight if this continues. I had old grey Guatemalan sausage for breakfast this morning… fortunately BEFORE I read your rant. Chuckle, and I am in total agreement with you.
Now if I eat that sausage gravy on my warmed over biscuit for lunch will it stay down???
Keep it up brother,
In Christ
Dennis McCutcheon
dennis mccutcheon: oh man…I could eat some good sausage gravy and homemade biscuits…
Excellent article Mychal! Many of the people who supported Herman Cain are now drinking the media kool-aid and supporting Newt. I don’t think they truly understood what he stood for or they wouldn’t have abandoned support for him and his platform. Not me, on the Cain Train forever….It sickens me what the media has done to Herman Cain. Hope the movement to “write-in Cain” keeps growing. Your article here helps that cause! Thanks you!
I was also a Cain financial supporter and was just sickened when he chose to ‘get out’. However, IF WE DON’T ALL STICK TOGETHER AND VOTE FOR ‘ONE’ PERSON REPRESENTING US, THE OBAMA WILL WIN!!!! Picture those maggots Mychal just wrote about. That’s what we’ll have for 4 more years. CAN THIS COUNTRY WITHSTAND OBAMA’S ONSLAUGHT OF DICTATORSHIP? I’ve seen this scenario played over and over through the years. Whenever a ‘third’ person gets into the mix, they divide and don’t conquer. Mark my words….if we don’t get behind ONE person to beat the crap out of Obama, he’ll be in again. WE CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN. I’m willing to take a chance on someone that can beat Obama in his own league….with words! Obama’s a manipulating dictator bastard! HE HAS TO GO….HE HAS TO GO….HE HAS TO GO….IT’S UP TO ALL OF US TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
So true! Splitting the non-Democratic vote will most assuredly usher Obama in for a second term during which he will cause irreparable harm to our great nation. We all need to understand that the USA will be unrecognizable after four more years with an un-American president who does not love our country.
retta: first of what we need recognize first is that God in charge and obama isn’t going to do anything that God doesn’t permit…our job is to get right w/ God and stop reward sinful debaucherous candidates w/ election and re-election…we cannot just vote for someone because we think it will get obama out…replacing the bad w/ more bad doesn’t solve the problem…
christel: replacing him w/ a another version of him isn’t something I’m prepared to do…right now newt is the koolaid of the day…as a v/p candidate on a Herman ticket I would have supported him..but not as president…there is rick santorum…and I’m not convinced he has the metal…
I’ve listened to Rick Santorum at all the debates, from the first one. I do not think he’s the answer either. My money was on Herman, but that’s not an option any longer. My hope would be that at least another person would at least be an American and a Christian…neither of which Obama is. To me Obama is a hell of a lot more dangerous than any of the other candidates. They all have baggage and issues. I’m willing to forgive some of their earlier faults in hopes they’ve learned what the American people want and won’t settle for the piece of garbage like we now have. ONE MAJOR PROBLEM WE HAVE…CONGRESS. That has to be ‘fixed’ for us to move forward. Dysfunctional at best. That ‘elite’ crap has to be stopped. Less members in Congress, part time with part time pay. What goes for all of us goes for all of them as well…good for the goose, good for the gander..or it doesn’t fly.
christel: congress is a sewer that need to be flushed w/ hot water…I know and like rick…I think he would be a good cabinet member…I’m not convinced of his presidential metal…that said I am convinced of where he stands having worked w/ him on the judicial committee…
cindi lane: agreed…
Dear Mychal:
I concur with your comments about media.
On another note: I am currently deeply concerned about ICLEI (International Council on Local Engivronmental Initiatives)(pronounced “ick-lee”) which is the implementation arm of UN Agenda 21 and ask you how you might rant in opposition to ICLEI? I have some narrative to provide but you may be vastly more knowledgeable than I.
The public, and your readers, should learn how the United Nations Agenda is being forced upon the unsuspecting American public. ICLEI promises to choke the liberty and rights of Americans out of existence.
In the interim while I await your reply your readership can search the web >ICLEI< much to their alarm.
Maryland’s “OweMalley” is trying to implement “Plan Maryland” as I’m typing this. Be scared folks…You WILL loose all your Property Rights and we will end up living on top of each other as in Japan & China! Get Educated and GET INVOLVED at the local level.Your life depends on it!
hidlins: omalley is just another fungus contaminating the community…
aardvark: I think you are right to be concerned…
Dear Mychal: The question remains, will you be writing a rant on the topic? How can we increase awareness on the danger of ICLEI? [and Agenda 21, Sustainable Development]
aardvark: I cannot say if I will be doing a rant on same or not…I may do a syndicated piece on it, I might end up just doing an interview on it or I may do it one thursday morning during my weekly live rant on the Craig Henne Radio Show…or I may end up sharing any thought I have per same w/ someone else for them to do…I’m sorry…but I just don’t know…
Massie– The news in TV and newspapers is bought and paid for. There is a lot more media out there. Blogs like yours, facebook,chatrooms and of course e-mails. Can’t believe half of it. I’d venture to say that most of the gullible 18 to 30 year olds in my crowd don’t even believe nine tenths of it. If you read the blogs, facebook comments and get in the chatrooms then you would realize all of us gullible, misguided, malable people do have a brain in our heads. Not a soul I know personally, voted for Obama. In fact my A.A. buddy say’s his Dad calls Obama a moronic jigaboo. Must be a black form of endearment? After all my friend is black. He also say’s the reason Obama got elected is because black is thicker than water. Really, it’s a no brainer to know that Obama, the electoral college and the democrat party was bought and paid for before the polls even opened in 2008. Soros and ACORN saw to that. You read our type media and you will find that the democrat party win has already been paid for in 2012. The gullible 18 to 30 year olds didn’t buy into the race. Our hope’s went by-by when Cain deserted us. We don’t give a damn if he had a string of women on the side. We figured his brain was in the head on his shoulders not the one on his penis. The gullible crowd has come to one conclusion. Things are going to get a lot worse. This country hasn’t hit rock bottom yet. It won’t rebound now until it does.
alan: I remain convinced that Herman was the best choice to turn things around…that said…I stand by my comments…to the extent that there are those young people who did not vote for obama and that there are those who supported Herman…that is not the point…the facts are on my side…college age 18-26 went for obama in huge numbers…in past elections the 18-24 yr olds supported liberal but did not vote…wereas the 18-24 yr old republican and conservatives though fewer in number vote in vastly greater numbers…in 2008 the paradigm changed…the 18-26 liberal young voted in overwhelming numbers…so as I commented to someone voicing similar…I suggest you get your facts straight…I should also say I question the character of your supposed conservatism…because the tenor you exhibit belies that I am familiar w/ from spkg on conservative campuses and to conservative college groups…
I put myself through college by working in a slaughterhouse for four summers and during winter breaks.
You are correct, Mychal. If you saw how sausage and hot dogs were made it might make a guy go vegan, just like watching the normal news cycle can retard a man’s appetite.
danbubalo: I drove taxi, pumped gas, did roofing/siding and worked on garbage truck…
That might explain why we connect.
There’s a technique for carrying a beef quarter on one’s back, and they range from 225 to under 300 pounds, and I’m still paying for it.
On the other hand……………they were paying $5.04 an hour in 1972 and time and a half for OT., and that was all right by me.
dan bubalo: either that or the Lord is directing our steps…I know what I believe…
I sincerely have felt more spiritual since we became “acquainted” and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s easy to get lost these days (or over the last 30 years) and then realize there’s a greater cause than we might imagine.
It’s exhilarating to think one might make a difference or at least help along the way.
dan bubalo: it’s about our willingness to be used…
I watch maybe 30 minutes of news in the morning, rest I read over a variety of sites through the day.
fox is only slightly better, for NOW, than others but that is FAST changing.
we have no conservative news outlets on tv. contrary to many peoples beliefs fox is not conservative.
they are capitalistic and making $$$$.
dmacleo: your last sentence nailed it…
Fox hasn’t been a conservative news outlet for quite some time. I think it is sad that so many people still believe that myth.
buffalo john: and believe the myth is exactly what they are doping…a few yrs ago I appeared on one of the cnn’s and discussed this very topic…I pointed out the number of fox commentators who were liberals but at that time had left their personal politics outside the door…they no longer pretend to be fair…just unbalanced…if it weren’t for Cavuto and Van Sustern they would be CNN…
I thought FOX was slightly more conservative until I saw the coverage that the conservative candidates recieve. They were malign every night by people like Carl Rove, Charles Krautheimmer, and Bret Hume and I thought these were the conservative commentators. But, I also knew that something was going to change when Rupert Murdoch was in trouble in Europe with the phone tapping charges, and when the Obama Administration threaten to look into their News Corp division in the US, and when Rupert Murdoch put his son in charge of the News Corp. Division in the United States. And is when I notice a distinct change. I don’t understand why report news that is more liberal leaning when the liberal news is all around us and in every corner. FOX is making a huge, if not damaging, mistake. Especially when there is no other news outlet as popular as FOX. Why break something if its not broken? That is not a good business move. But, I guess that leaves room for another conservative network!
elizabeth lovett: a true conservative news network would be nice…
