Really? Well, to that I say if you fire all of the far-left management, editors and reporters, you would not only restore the dignity of the outlet, but cut well over ninety percent of the employees. With that massive monetary savings, you could then hire a much smaller percentage of ethical journalists and rebuild your readers and advertising base.
Should that not make sense to these wealthy conservatives, then I would ask them how their financial bottom-line is functioning under this liberal media pushed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac economic meltdown? Beyond that, how well will that bottom-line prosper under the Obama-Pelosi-Reid mainstream media supported redistribution of wealth? At what point do these wealthy conservatives step forward?
At the end of the 18th century, historian Thomas Carlyle quoted Edmund Burke as saying, "there were Three Estates in Parliament; but in the Reporter' Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important than they all. It is not a figure of speech, or a witty saying; it is a literal fact ... Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in lawmaking, in all acts of authority."
If the United States of America existed anymore, could this “Fourth Estate” control almost the top one-hundred newspapers in our nation, the major networks, most of the cable networks -- including the Weather Channel, CNBC, and ESPN -- and the entertainment industry? If the nation of our Founding Fathers existed, could this “Fourth Estate” handpick and install an untested, inexperienced candidate who wishes to redistribute our wealth and worse?
There is no greater threat to our liberty and this Republic than a biased media that despises traditional values and only speaks and lies with one voice. Again, Thomas Jefferson may have said it best when he wrote, “He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions.”
If the United States of America still existed, could these lies of the left and the destruction they cause, happen with such regularity?
