Glenn Beck

seems to be the only right minded personality outside of Fox News I know of. . .

Dr. Steech

Sounds reasonable...well, hope you're right! Thanks.

Glenn Beck:

I haven't caught his show. I guess it is new. He was on MSNBC, and also had a local talk show.

Maybe Dr. Steech is right, but it is discouraging to have the entire media wanting to bring down the Bush administration and encouraging our enemies. Have you noticed how the bloodshed increases in direct proportion to their coverage?

It seems that in spite of the low ratings, the driveby media has a lot of influence.

I hope Dr. Steech is right also, but as you say it is discouraging to see the power of the driveby media. Hopefully with all the new media people will realize the bias going on in the MSM...but then again if the Left gains total control in 08 they will decree the "fairness doctrine" to eliminate competition...uhg...only God knows where this is headed.

How to Save CBS News

Fire the entire editorial staff and get Laura Ingram for the evening anchor and position it to the right of Fox News! What do they have to lose? I'll bet it would do better than it is now. Fox News isn't the right wing Leviathan the MSM would like to portray it as. There is a market in this country for commentary directed to the right. And it will only get moreso as the baby boomers age and the country gets more conservative. How's that for a thought!

Great post Sheila!

As you know, I've written about the media before, and feel they've lost control (and their minds). Some of it, I feel has crossed the line into treasonous or seditious behavior, and it must be stopped.

Thanks!

I love it I love it! Scottie, you are brilliant!

Laura had a morning news and commentary show on MSNBC that I loved, and I don't know why she quit. It was really good, and fun too. Did you ever see it?

I really love your idea, wonder how we could make that happen...we need a conservative multi millionaire to go into the news business. Want to sign up for the job?...:)

Hey Rubberduck Crusader!

I am totally with you on that...the media has crossed over to treasonist behavior, and are in the propaganda business.

Any ideas on how to put an end to it, other than not watching?

Good article. I have a fun thing I like to do when I'm watching Fox. I surf around to catch what MSNBC and CNN are doing. I catch them at some biased thing all the time.
Glenn Beck is great. I've been watching him since the start. I loved listening to his radio show and when his own talk show came on CNN I about flipped.
He is doing a good job.
I think the media is treasonous. I hate the lies they keep repeating over and over. It's as if they never heard the other side of the argument. Sometimes I want to strangle Wolf Bliztkrieg and knockout KO.
Last week I caught part of an interview with Hillary that Anderson Cooper did. When she couldn't answer his questions about Iraq, he quickly switched to Bush to save her. Unbelievable how they work hand in hand.

Thanks for checking in. I agree with you.

I do the same thing when I'm watching the news, and it's amazing to see the slant on the other channels. The anti-Bush, anti-America bias is so in your face.

It will be interesting to see if Shrillary will show up on Fox, after her husband's melt down on the Sunday show a while back.

As a flash of hope:

The Tampa Tribune (a moderate paper that gives voice to both sides) had this headline as it's lead editorial: "Nancy Pelosi's 100 Partisan Hours Refute Pledge To Pull Together." It then listed four specific broken promises. Hopefully there are other honest papers out there.

http://www.talkradio1660.com/onair.php is a link to a radio station in Fargo, ND that airs Glen Beck's syndicated program. I believe that his show can be listened to on-line.

I think he's #4 or so, nationally. He's rather amusing. I believe he's out of Dayton, OH. He's on 8-11am CST, the same time as Laura Ingraham, so you may have to make a choice.

Socialists are still blaming the Jews (Nazi stood for National Socialist).

America is the "source" of evil b/c it is controlled by neo-cons (i.e. Jews).

If it's not Israel "destabilizing" the Near East by insisting on not being pushed into the sea, it's some neo-con (New York moneymen according to Gen Clark) conspiracy running the WH.

Why do Jews stand at the center of conspiracy theories? I've read many of them, or for some odd reason nutsos always blame the Jews.
