Media Brainwashing:
Walter Cronkite was the Master, the old Liberal Brainwashers are now themselves "all washed up" Dan Rather never knew what hit him, the "New Media" has arrrived, Rather now spends most of his time feeding pigeons in Central Park, a Blogger squashed a Liberal Media Giant like a bug, Rather was so full of himself and his beloved "Liberal Left Wing Media" that he couldn't see it coming.

Imagine all the story's the Lefty Media distorted over the years or just plain wouldn't report because it didn't fit their Left Wing Agenda. American troops returning home from Iraq today say they are still doing it, they will never report any "good news" coming out of Iraq (they loved the dog leash lady).

Rather, Brokaw, CBS, NBC, PBS, Al Franken and Jeanne Garafool, The NY Times they are all dying a slow death some have already vanished the next one to fall Cute Perky Katie.

The "New Media" Talk Radio, Fox News, Cable, Internet and Bloggers they tell us all the things that Rather & Cronkite never wanted us to know.

Being that this is about a "Revelation" on our beloved Mass Media, here again is the Data.

Just a "Slight Bias"?


On TV, evening network newscasts gave 49% of their campaign coverage to the Democrats and 28% to Republicans. As for tone, 39.5% of the Democratic coverage was positive vs. 17.1%, while 18.6% of the Republican coverage was positive and 37.2% negative.

These findings are in line with a number of other studies that date back to the early 1970s:

• In 1972, "The News Twisters" by Edith Efron analyzed every prime-time network news show before the 1968 election and found coverage tilted 8 to 1 against Nixon on ABC, 10 to 1 on NBC and 16 to 1 on CBS.

• In 1984, Public Opinion magazine found that Reagan got 7,230 seconds of negative coverage and just 730 seconds of positive; Mondale's positive press totaled 1,330 seconds, vs. 1,050 negative.

• In 1986, "The Media Elite" surveyed 240 journalists at virtually every major media outlet and found that in presidential elections from 1964 to 1976, 86% of top journalists voted Democratic. A 2001 update found 76% voted for Dukakis in 1988 and 91% went for Clinton in 1992.

• A 1992 Freedom Forum poll showed 89% of Washington reporters and bureau chiefs voting for Clinton in '92 and only 7% for George H.W. Bush.

• A 2003 Pew survey found 34% of national journalists called themselves liberal and 7% conservative. By 7 to 1, they also felt they weren't critical enough of President Bush.

• In 2005, a study of bias by professors at UCLA, Stanford and the University of Chicago determined that only one media outlet — Fox News Special Report — could be tagged "right of center."



You'd think that when the very "Elite" of the Leftist Universities such as these tells you that there's only "1" Media Outlet that could be considered "Right of Center" our Liberal Liars out here would pay attention....


Even that's too much to ask.

Here's the problem with the average right winger: "Truth has a distinct liberal bias".

The GOP leadership repeats every day the same way: Wake up, screw up, blame a Liberal.

So when the average Republican is told that his miserable party has failed again all he can do is blame the messenger.

It's like blaming the San Diego Tribune for the wildfires the other week.

From Bill Kristol, cofounder PNAC and Fox News regular, quote, "I admit it: the liberal media were never that powerful, and the whole thing was often used as an excuse by conservatives for conservative failures."

Default Bias in the media, as told by a Jewish run think tank, wolves guarding the hen house

http://www.jewwatch.com/jew-jewishsu...-politics.html

"In violent opposition to all this sphere of Jewish effort rise the schemes of the International Jews. The adherents of this sinister confederacy are mostly men reared up among the unhappy populations of countries where Jews are persecuted on account of their race. Most, if not all, of them have forsaken the faith of their forefathers, and divorced from their minds all spiritual hopes of the next world. This movement among the Jews is not new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, a definitely recognisable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire." Winston Churchill 1920

News...

Here are a few common sense facts about the news...

If you are relying on television producers to decide what you need to know and what you don't, you deserve what ever government you get.

Television news, radio and newspapers are capitalist, corporate, commercially driven enterprises. The fact is, that if you didn't watch it, it wouldn't be there. Doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with the talking heads, the commercials don't care, just that you tuned in.

News outlets are and have always been extensions of one political party or another. From before the first elections, "newspapers" were the mouth pieces of ideology. That hasn't changed, no matter who you get your news from, they are biased one way or the other. Objective journalism isn't dead in this country, it has just rarely existed. To expect anything different is chasing butterflies.

If there were such an animal as a purely objective, unbiased, truth reporting, fact based, news source, it most certainly couldn't survive in a society such as this. The people have to want the unvarnished truth. Otherwise, no one would watch it... so no one would advertise with it, and thus it would die.
