Media
Media Bias
Ronald Reagan said,
“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just
that they know so much that isn't so." This seems to apply to the so called
Mainstream Media. Since they report so much that just “isn’t so” it is often
correct to believe just the opposite of what they say.
“This is how it works: if you are a
journalist who clearly favors the re-election of President Obama,
you ask questions of Republicans in an effort to make them look foolish,
forcing them to address subjects other than the economy and threats to national
security. When you question Democrats, you ask questions people care most about
and usually allow the answer, however inaccurate, to go unchallenged … And so
it goes in every modern election cycle. To the mainstream media, Republicans
are pigheaded and unwilling to compromise with a Democratic president (or a
Democratic Congress). That's because in media-land, only Democrats want what is
best for ‘real Americans.’ Get it? … None of this will change as long as
liberals continue to dominate major media ... Instead of complaining, which
changes nothing, Republicans should run the equivalent of a Tebow
option play. They should refuse to participate in any more dog-and-pony shows
designed to trip them up. Instead, they should create their own panels with an
ideological mix of interrogators … The ratings would be huge and the public
would get better answers to more substantive questions than the ‘gotcha’
questions they must now endure.” (1/12/12)

“We've been dealing with liberal media bias
for years, but George Stephanopoulos' performance in the Republican presidential
debate Saturday night in New Hampshire was particularly egregious … In addition
to misdirecting the debates substantively, the liberal moderators have also,
too often, injected themselves into the debates as if they were either driven
by their irrepressible egos to make themselves players rather than facilitators
or so ideologically revolted by the GOP's policies that they were compelled to
argue Obama's side in his absence ... they shouldn't
present Obama's side for him, giving him and the
liberal position a free ride … With a half-century of experience as a witness
to liberal media bias, I'm not easily shocked or outraged by current displays
of it, but George Stephanopoulos deserves special notoriety for his disgraceful
performance Saturday night.” (1/11/12)
“Gone are the days when broadcasters like
Walter Cronkite attempted to convey objective and unbiased news. Propaganda
seems to be at the heart of most national news. Passions, preferences and
political persuasions permeate nearly all the news. Opine is ubiquitous and
made obvious alone by many broadcasters' tone of voice or facial expressions …
As reported by NewsBusters (www.newsbusters.org),
consider in a single day
last week how the MSM angled their reporting in ways to manipulate public
opinion … The fact is that the primary networks -- ABC, CBS and NBC -- and
their smaller cable channels are owned and financed by an interlocking network
of corporate conglomerates and controlled by progressive and politically biased
proprietors. Billionaire moguls like George Soros are using millions and
millions of dollars … to carry out a greater goal of chipping away the very
foundations of our republic. Just a few months ago, Media Research Center's Dan
Gainor exposed globalist George Soros' financial
connections to MSM and his funding of $52 million to influence and direct
journalism in the national networks. Or do you think it's merely a coincidence
that Soros has ties to over 30 major news organizations, including The New York
Times, The Associated Press, The Washington Post, NBC and ABC, and yet no one
hears anything from those networks about his behind-the-scenes finagling and
financing … It prompts one to wonder: Why haven't such power relations been
reported by the MSM? And would they be so silent if the correlations were
between such agents of control and the tea party?” (11/15/11)
The stories behind these headlines illustrate
why good people no longer want to run for the presidency of the United States.
They immediately become targets of the left, which almost always pulls the race
card or the sexual harassment card when they have nothing legitimate to say
against the people they fear. In Herman Cain's case they use both disgusting
smear tactics. They have no shame … The media's double standard is once again
exposed inasmuch as President Obama's clouded
background is carefully ignored. (11/2/11)

“Christians speak the truth about God’s best
for humanity as it applies to morality, laws and governing principles, but the
secular media views these truths as Hell. Truth always feels like Hell to those
who reject, deny, or hate the truth … They express their hatred for God’s truth
by heaping venom on anyone who declares God’s truth. Bible-believing Christians
proclaim the truth about the biblical principles that guided this nation’s
founders. But those who are rewriting American history to fit their desire for
self-worship want to silence them. Thus, whenever a Christian lovingly and
thoughtfully points them to the truth of history, they hound them down,
accusing them of ‘racism,’ ‘hate speech,’ and ‘bigotry.’ Why? Because truth to
them is Hell, so they want to muzzle Christians and their message … If I were a
rich man, I would offer these self-worshipping gods of the secular media a six
month trip to Afghanistan or Iran. If they ever returned from such a trip, they
would be changed men and women. My concern is that the very truth that can set
them free is the truth they attack. I know why they attack it—because it feels
like Hell to them. It is condemning. However, my heart is not to condemn them,
but to pray to God to open their blind eyes, just like He opened mine, so that
they may see the truth before it is too late for them.” (10/24/11)
“Gaffes hit us all. But the frequency
and folly of Obama’s are particularly troubling
considering that he has an army of researchers, writers, handlers and
teleprompters at his disposal. That makes Obama’s
gaffes a special kind of stupid. Then there are the policy statements that are
so far removed from reality. When have you heard Michele Bachmann tout a
‘Recovery Summer’ like Joe Biden did while the labor force shrinks and the
economy limps along? Or can you recall Bachmann blaming the persistent
unemployment on modern technology, including those pesky ATM fees, as our
genius President did? When has Bachmann ever advocated codifying a new
health-care law and then, and only then, finding out what was actually in that
new health-care law, as Nancy Pelosi admitted to the press? You haven’t … The
media will let Democrats get away with driving a girl off a bridge and leaving
her to die (Ted Kennedy), but Republicans, especially unapologetic conservative
ones, won’t be given the benefit of the doubt, even when it comes
inconsequential errors.” (6/28/11)
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=44517
“Over the years, leftist lies and media
complicity have done enormous damage … Sometimes, the nature of the crime is
reckless denial. Like Obama declaring that under Obamacare, we can keep the health coverage we have now. Or
Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Barney Frank telling a House committee in 2004 that
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were in no danger: ‘I don’t see anything in this
report that raises safety and soundness problems.’ Other Democrats accused the
Bush Administration of bad motives and even racism for demanding more
accountability. Later, after the ‘affordable’ mortgage-driven housing bubble
burst in 2008, driving the economy into the worst recession since the Great
Depression, Democrats blamed private ‘greed’ and lack of government oversight …
why is Barney Frank continuing to make financial policy for the United States?”
(6/8/11)
“After nearly 3 years of dishonest attacks
and innuendo against her, her husband, her beliefs and her children by the
media, it’s ironic to see the MSM complain that SHE is treating THEM poorly.
They’re like an abusive husband who thinks his wife should be grateful that he
took off his rings when he hit her this time. Palin
would have none of it, she was a class-act throughout, and was greeted by
surprised adoring fans everywhere she went. That, more than anything else, is
the real root of the MSM’s vitriol. Despite their best efforts to destroy her,
she is exposing just how irrelevant they are.” (6/5/11)
“Anyone who follows politics knows that the
mainstream media has two sets of rules: one set for conservatives and another
set for liberals. Conservatives spend most of their time correcting smears and
trying to explain to the public what they really believe. Liberals, on the
other hand, can count on the press to hide their unpopular beliefs and put the
best spin possible on everything they do … In Barack Obama's case, the media would be focusing on an entirely
different set of issues if he were a Republican … How does Quayle's gaffe
compare to Obama thinking there are 57 states … What
about signing a guest book 2008 in 2011
… Obama's stupidity would be a staple of late
night talk show jokes if he were a Republican … If Obama
were a Republican, the media would be telling us we need to get a Democrat in
office to repair the damage caused by Obama's
blundering … Remember when the media talked about the size of the deficit all
the time? Remember when we heard about Halliburton and Blackwater
on a daily basis? Oh, yes, that was when we had a Republican President … tens
of billions in tax dollars have been transferred to corporations that have
given money to the Democratic Party. Now suddenly the ‘fierce watchdogs of the
press’ have become completely complacent … Can you imagine the stories we'd see
every day if a Republican were President? We'd have daily stories on the people
left homeless by the ‘Obamaconomy,’ human interest
stories about single mothers who can't feed their kids anymore, and we'd hear from
experts every day about how Obama is killing jobs,
raising costs at the pump, and destroying the economy with his policies.
Remember how the press used to slip a reference to George Bush speaking in
front of the ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner into every story about Iraq? Well,
they'd do the same thing with Barack Obama's empty promises about how his 1.1 trillion dollar
stimulus would ‘save or create jobs.’ Can you hear them now?” (3/31/11)
“How much longer can the Democratic Party,
the mainstream media and other leftists successfully maintain the ruse that
intolerance, hatred and the propensity for violence mainly come from the right
in this country? The lie is getting old. The left's ideas continue to fail in
the real world, and the majority of the people reject them, which is why their
proponents so often disguise their true intentions … One of those means is to
pre-emptively strike their political opponents by
falsely condemning them for behavior that they -- leftists -- actually engage
in. It's called ‘projection’
… the left continues to equate conservative
talk with hate speech that will lead to violence and advocates selectively
suppressing conservative speech through such insidious means as the Fairness
Doctrine. Talk about hate -- and violence … Why didn't they report on the calls
by union thugs for blood in the streets … Their arrogance, extremism and
brutality should be their undoing.” (3/1/11)

“We all know not to take politicians'
rhetoric at face value. But not enough of us have yet learned not to take media
rhetoric at face value either, even when it appears in what looks like a ‘news’
story, but is actually a disguised editorial on the front page … In other
words, we are not talking about creating wealth. We are talking about
transferring wealth from one community to another, with no net increase-- and
doing so at a cost of billions of tax dollars … Nobel Prizewinning economist
George Stigler pointed out that the government advertises all the time-- only
it is not called advertising. So-called ‘news’ stories like those in the San
Francisco Chronicle repeat the party line of government bureaucrats and serve
it up to the public as information, rather than ads.” (1/19/11)

“Since Holder apparently wasn't watching Fox
News a few weeks ago, I'll repeat myself … Among the criminal laws apparently
broken by Assange is 18 U.S.C. 793(e), which
provides: ‘Whoever having unauthorized possession of, access to, or control
over any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, (etc.
etc.) relating to the national defense, ... (which) the possessor has reason to
believe could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of
any foreign nation, willfully communicates (etc. etc) the same to any person
not entitled to receive it, or willfully retains the same (etc) ... Shall be
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.’ As is evident,
merely being in unauthorized possession of classified national security
documents that could be used to harm this country and publishing those
documents constitutes a felony … Assange would be
prosecuted for committing the crime of possessing and releasing classified
national security documents that could do this country harm. The First
Amendment has no bearing whatsoever on whether Assange
has committed this particular crime, so whether or not Assange
is a "journalist" is irrelevant.”

“It's taxpayers who need to be untethered from NPR and other state-sponsored public
broadcasting. Public radio and public television are funded with your money …
The government imprimatur gives NPR and PBS a competitive edge, favoritism with
lawmakers and the phony appearance of being above the fray … But vindictive
Vivian Schiller and her colleagues have undermined state-sponsored radio's
credibility for years with impunity -- from NPR legal correspondent Nina
Totenberg publicly wishing for the late GOP Sen. Jesse Helms to die a painful
AIDS-induced death to NPR affiliate employee Sarah Spitz pining for radio talk
show giant Rush Limbaugh's death on a journalists e-mail list. Thomas Jefferson
famously opined: "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas
he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical" … Not one more red
cent of public money should go to NPR, PBS and CPB. Let the speech-squelching
progressives and jihadi-whitewashing apologists pay

“This is the left’s planned, organized and
concerted effort to destroy their opponents – working hand-in-hand from liberal
media, to politicians to old school media. The goal is nothing short of
terrorizing anyone who might disagree with them. When liberals conspired using Journolist to set a news agenda, it was obvious they had
done so. This is more insidious and goes all the way to the top. Pick a name
that has been a genuine threat to Team Obama and you can usually find the same
strategy. Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, CNBC’s Rick Santelli and Jim Cramer, Matt Drudge, the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce, billionaire funders Charles and David Koch and even former CNN host
Lou Dobbs. While the attacks are reminiscent of the assault against Justice
Clarence Thomas, that was amateur hour. This is a professional operation …
Today those appalling attacks are part and parcel to the lefty war plan. The
typical targeting has one of the bogus liberal sites like HuffingtonPost.com or
TheNation.com write something similar to journalism. It then gets picked up and
commented on either by the clowns at MSNBC or some marginal left-wing
politician like Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y. Or even the president of the
“But the conventional media, instead of
hailing this trend, warns that conservatives cannot be elected and bemoans the
victory of true believers saying that it is equivalent to handing seats to the
Democrats and the liberals. This reasoning, which made sense in other times, is
badly flawed in today's political climate.” (9/18/10)
“When conservatives hold to their convictions
about, say, sound economic policy, liberals in the media and in Congress label
them ‘ideologues’ … When liberal Democrats hold to their views that higher
taxes and more government spending are the way to revive an economy, they
acquire no negative labeling. In fact, they are no longer referred to as
liberals, but as ‘progressives.’ Who could be against progress? Which is the
point of the word. When their policy fails to produce the announced results,
they are not called fanatics, but remain progressives. Liberals who refuse to
admit their misplaced faith in Keynsian economics
when it doesn't work are like cult members whose misplaced faith has been
exposed as bogus. In fact, liberals dig in their heels claiming it isn't that
too much has been spent, but too little … ‘Don't you love farce?’ … This
president has become a fanatic, enabled by the likes of Speaker Nancy Pelosi
and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. He refuses to budge when his policies
clearly are not working. Cue the music: ‘But where are the clowns? Quick, send
in the clowns. Don't bother, they're here.’" (9/10/10)

unpatriotic based on 50 years of treasonous behavior ... but the best our
spokesmen can think to say when accused of racism is: ‘Man is imperfect.’

“These incidents shed light on a pervasive
problem within the national media. Most reporters have a liberal

ideology causes them to totally ignore news stories … Given our commitment to a
free press, it is particularly troubling that Americans’ freedom to form their
own views of events and issues is limited by biased reporting … when the media
don’t report the facts about important issues, Americans can’t make good
decisions. And if Americans can’t make good decisions, our system of
government is threatened ... Americans have lost faith in the national
media. Just 8% of Americans trust the media, according to a recent Zogby public opinion poll. By a margin of

instincts, he has a talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. It
swiftly became a joke that he could not deliver even the briefest of statements

his political experience, a cakewalk, has positioned him to destroy the
