Great point. The MSM was and IS Dem Press Secy!! Chris "Tingle Legs" Mathews is only one obvios example of tossing journalistic intgegrity out the window

Hey Kev! LOL

"Tingle Legs" Mathews...funny. He was telling his new president how to go for public works programs the minute he gets into office! He was telling him to be BOLD, not hold back...

I'm waiting for "Tingle legs" to offer his services as presidential advisor...;)

You know one of the scary things is the rumors about Mathews. There has been so many whispers about him running for the Senate in PA when Spector retires.

It seems that Franken may be on his way to the Senate (help us) and now maybe Matthews. I have to admit, it would be worth to turn on C-Span just to get a laugh.

I still can't figure out what the media is getting out of all of this by backing one candidate. Are they all racing to get the good seats in the White House Press section? Do they want to be his press secretary? They pretty much have been his press secretary from day one, so who knows.

Control The Message

Hi, Sheila! Right on! The MSM is the Public Relations Department for the Dems/Left. They are open in their adoration of "him". I will never understand the appeal of the left. They want to stifle free speech and dissent. They want higher taxes, more people dependent on government and leftist/socialist indoctrination in public schools. They want to control electricity and support high energy costs to control where and when people can travel. They want to mandate health care. The left is the party of suppression of rights. How they continue to sell this message and succeed by winning elections is something I will continue to ponder. It is incredible.

the Washington Post has already

The WP has already admitted that they were lopsided in their coverage for Obama.

Some other talking head media guy said it "was a learning experience" for the media when it came to covering Obama! sheesh. Whatever.

The appeal of the left only works on the brainwashed masses, and that's why they want to control education and the media through the "fairness" doctrine...

What really amazes me is people who are conservatives who voted for the guy...that is unbelievable to me! They must have been mesmorized...not a good thing...

Hey Scarlet!

Journalism is dead. We now have pundits who are doing opinion journalism.

What an embarrassment for the Washington Post. They should move their headquarters to Russia.

One of these days, these lowlifes are going to wake up and realize they don't recognize the country they live in...wonder if they wil change then, and get back to "reporting" the news...uh, well, guess at that point they won't be able to anyway...

Chris Matthews

said his job for the next four years is to help Obama. I think the press has always tried to be the Democrat's press secretary, but you're right. Now they are hippies that grew up(allegedly) and are trying to turn the country into the peyote and lsd-laced ideals of not bathing and having sex with unnamed minors.

The remote control has been the savior during this election cycle. I have used the mute button more times that I can count. And of course, change the channel in a flash. I am thankful for the inventor of the remote control!

It seems we have a media like the old Soviet Union had , in the making. See what they want you to see,hear what they want you to hear, and read what they want you to read. Journalism really died this year.

The media would not support a minority candidate if they were a conservative. Look at what they did to Sarah. If Michael Steele was the candidate all they would talk about is how many African Americans would vote against him because he is a conservative. I hope he is the candidate someday, that would be awesome.

Down with the bias drive by media.

Hey M!

Yup...I'm thinking the same thing. The media has taken sides...it doesn't matter who we have running. Sad that America has come to this.

Steele will be made fun of, and ripped apart by the media if he runs, sadly.

I used to write for a newspaper, but I got so frustrated with all of the lefties that I changed my major from Communications to a combo of Communications & English w/a minor in History.
They're everywhere, even in private schools!

I need your input at my new post, it's a difficult decision and your readers are welcome as well with their input. January will be here before we know it, unless December proves an ill-fate with the birth certificate for the O-men.
