The danger of the liberal media

Some claim, despite story after story, fact after fact saying otherwise, that the media is not liberal. Others know it is and don't care, they don't think it matters.

Look at these two stories from the past week:
1. Bill O'Reilly does a story about how people perceive blacks needs to change, and that positive stories and positive role models need to be talked about more, and not rappers and thugs. Media matters takes a comment out of context to make Bill look racist. The story doesn't really get too much traction because all people have to do is listen to the whole segment to hear what happened, but here is the problem. The MSM took a smear from a far left liberal web site, media matters, funded by George Soros and used that as factual information. That is the danger. When does the MSM use stories from Newsbusters or Newmax? You can make a stupid ass comment, however, if they are going to use Media Matters, if they are not liberal, they would see nothing wrong with using Newsbusters.

2. This one is even more pathetic. Rush talks about a scum bag who pretented to be a soldier in Iraq and made up stories to further the Left's bashing of the military and the war. Now, EVERYONE should be outraged by this asshole, but instead, because the MSM and Media Matters foam at the mouth because Rush Limbaugh has better ratings than every single liberal talk show host put together, they take something he said (they can only use two words, because if you listen to anymore of it you see what they were talking about) and smear him. Again, the MSM takes a story from a far-left wing web site and uses it as factual information.

It is shameful and it is dangerous.

What is shameful and dangerous is Rush and Sean et al turning other Americans into the enemy. Look what they've done to you for God sake!

Ok, since you apparently missed it let's try this again.


You complain constantly about the victim mentality. You guys are constant victims. You get angry like lil orphan Annie because the left uses people that can't be criticized(not true-criticize away). Yet you turn right around and tell us who is untouchable(Generals, the Presnit and on and on). You whine the liberal media, the liberal media!! Well, we have had constant conservative government since at least Reagan so if the media is liberal they would be entirely ineffective and not worth worrying about. Yet that is STILL not good enough for you because you just relish in being the victim of the big bad liberals. You are just being misinterpreted by the masses. HA!-Notice that they always use that excuse? ALWAYS!
The left is always wrong and anybody that points out faults in Rush or BillO or Anne, well they are just wrong and smearing the virtuous ones. That is an elitist attitude. Something else you pretend to hate.
Also can you tell me any actual ideas Rush has had for solving the U.S. problems because I can match you and add one for every one you come up with. 90% of his show has nothing to do with ideas. It's smears and why you shouldn't believe or like someone in particular. It is almost always another American. That is undeniable and dangerous and shameful.

I'm said for you guys and feel sorry for your children if you let them infer that Rush is any kind of a role model, which is what you do when you listen and defend him. Personal Responsibility means you step up and own your words and actions. Rush has none and lord knows nobody on the right is going to make him. Your yapping on personal responsibility rings hollow.

Your whine about the liberal media and constant harping that Rush and big O are victims is ringing pretty hollow too, and getting tiresome. Could we move on. We have all made our points.

True story from the ap..PHOENIX - It sounds like science fiction but it's true: A killer amoeba living in lakes enters the body through the nose and attacks the brain where it feeds until you die.


Oh no RUSH LIMBAUGH!!!!!

PCD,yes I admit to being partisan...you aren't?
Brian Ross did a story that was clear on what he meant. Rush didn't. As a matter of fact in my opinion Rush tried to smarm is way out of his drug attled bullcrap. Just my opinion but it is certainly at least as valid as yours.

So the Richard Mellon Scaife funded American Spectator is the model of accuracy? Your evil rich bastard is better than my evil rich bastard? I see once again you are going for the easy way out. Find somebody to smear. George Soros the evil monster, big bad liberal being bad to the poor sweet neocons. BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This is the typical rightist method of obfuscation. Dismiss facts you don't like cuz its the big bad liberal media and you don't have to believe them. Then make some subjective claim like "you have no credibility". You have learned well grasshopper.
My research is thorough and detailed and I actually can talk about answers to Americas problems without smearing people. Why I am still in the business after 30+ years. Put it in your pipe and smoke it.

RIGHT ON, Ron! :)

PCD said...

ron,

You are a hypocrite if you at all touch anything of Media Matters and David Brock. You know the guy who got his break from Scaife.

In the biz for 30 years means nothing if you are stuck on AM daytimers and buying the block for your show.

you have the worst comebacks..

I suppose if I were a spineless, troop-hating, ideologically driven, Wal-Mart lovin', hypocrite supportin' republican I would care what comes out of your wingnut mouth.

It's pathetic to see Game and pcd repeating their talking points. Why is it so difficult to condemn the extreme characters? It could be moveon.org or ann coulter or Rush.

Well, what can you expect from partisan people who can't think for themselves?

"May I suggest you move to Zimbabwe?"

May I suggest you pay us back what you have stolen, first?

Then you could move to Israel, where your allegiances lie...

And take Hagee with you.

Wow.. PCP.. that was original. Really.. have you had an original thought come through that little cat brain of yours? You know.. something that Rush or Shamnity didnt tell you to say. Or.. even better.. something that I didnt say..

Come on.. you can do better.. We're all rooting for you.

I would say parklife just wasted a minute of his life typing that, but he wouldn't have done anything better with it anyway.

I see your mental state is deteriorating. Sorry to hear about that. I heard that shutting of Rush and Fox news is a good treatment.
