Stunning revelations:
- Two-thirds (67.9 percent) of Americans surveyed think that “objective and fair journalism is dead,”
- 89.3 percent believe the news media played a role in the election of President Barack Obama.
- A majority believe the MSM are promoting the Democratic health care reform package without objective criticism
- 86.6 percent of the people surveyed think that journalists strongly or somewhat have their own political and public policy positions and attempt to influence public opinion.
Folks, this is not good. The health and strength of our Republic is dependent in no small measure on the strength and independence of the press.
When you watch ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS, and especially MSNBC, or read the New York Times and Washington Post - you are seeing un-varnished, un-questioning support and advocacy for the Liberal policies of our Dear Leader.
And, it seems, Obama knows where is bread is buttered. This past weekend, he went on FIVE Sunday talk shows to tout "his" Health Care Takeover Plan. (I put "his" in quotes because he hasn't actually produced a plan.)
Here are the FIVE networks he went on:
- ABC
- CBS
- CNN
- NBC
- Univision (A Spanish language outlet)
So, he can go on a Spanish language outlet - but could not find time for Fox? Apparently he had time for 5 shows, but not 6. (And they were mostly pre-recorded - not done actually on Sunday.)
Of course, this all might explain why these outlets are all suffering terribly in the ratings. Fox, on the other hand, is thriving. Why? According to the same poll - Fox is the most trusted network for news. Despite what the Left says - you WILL hear both sides on Fox. Why does it seem so extreme to Left? Simple - when you listen to the lefty networks - you NEVER hear an opposing view. So, when they tune to Fox and DO hear a view with which they disagree - they are stunned! It is apostasy to them. They can't process the fact that someone (clearly a racist someone) ACTUALLY voiced disagreement with Liberal Dogma.
Folks - you need to vote with your feet and fingers. Patronize news outlets on which you see both sides of an issue. Shun those that are open cheerleaders for ANY point of view.
Not sure it they will ever get the message though. I mean, MSNBC has already has an audience that numbers in the dozens. If they haven't figured out yet that something is wrong, me thinks they never will.
