Uh-oh this Freeper has shown me the light-drawing me over
I feel....I feel myself being drawn to the darkside.

I NEED HELP!!! Please how can I fend off the urge (gulp) the urge to live in that perfect and absolute world of clarity and FREEDOM!?!?!?


This is a Freeper Gannon thread

Freedom of the press is not dead in America, but it has taken a mortal injury when the ouster of Talon news from the White House press corpse. The message from the Stone Age Press is that unless you are a Propaganda Arm of the DimRat Party you are not a reporter. Outside of Fox News, the herd mentality of DNCBS is completely opposite of the average American. This is why Gannon’s question was so pointed and relevant for today. How in the world can the President get his message to the world if the people who deliver that message disagree with it with obvious hatred??

The Stone Age Press stretching from the Old York Times to ABDNC, lost the last election every bit as much as Yaaawn Kerry. They were openly campaigning for him with every trick from phony polls to planted stories to forged documents. Wonder where all those “investigative” reporters are on themselves?? The average reporter from the 4th estate is not only a Democrat voter but a liberal activist. These people hate GW and America as much as their number one standard bearer Michael Mooreon. How can people so out of touch with America’s values and the goodness she represents, tell the world what America stands for??

Mr Gannon actually asked one of the most important questions in the American Media. As it wallows in the quagmire of the Tarpits of histoir, how can we get the truth to the American people? The success of Fox Rox, Talk Radio and Modern Media, how can the press be so blind? In reality they are a herd mentality and they believe in the safety of the herd. Polls have shown that nearly 90% of the news spewers are extreme Commucrats, and report for each others approval and believe America still thinks the way they do. What they don’t realize is that to keep the herd healthy, there must be a thinning as well as a strengthening of the herd or you end up with Rather old tired sickly Dinosaurs. That is who we have now reporting in a digital world with hammers & chisels.

Fox Rox News appears to be Right leaning since it is not an extreme Left-wing mouthpiece. To report middle of the road is so far removed from ABDNCBS that they are Right by comparison. Heck, Pravda is to the Right of the Samestream Press. For one not to attack the President or Republicans 24/7 they are so far outside of Lamestream Group think that they appear opposite to the rest of the news filters. This is why they are enjoying skyrocketing ratings and hated by the herd. We the consumers are not the uneducated bumpkins they have portrayed us for the past 20 years. Most Americans have access to the same direct news feeds that they have which allows us to compare their service both in quality and accuracy. The News business is the only service in the Country that continually insults over 50% of it’s customers.

How the Stone Agers do not cast the vote in Iraq as one of the great achievements in the history of the World is proof enough to their false reality. The fact that a Country would invade another Country and overthrew a mad dictator, not to own that Country and it’s wealth; but to free an enslaved people. Saddamn kept his slaves not with chains but fear and torture. The only reporters that got it right were the ones who were actually at the polling places. From the SAP in their cushy desks at the hotel or NY studios, it suddenly was not that important. Everything is filtered through their DNC activism and hatred for W and America. The continual comparisons to Vietnam is more a stretch than Lola Pelosi’s mask.

So Gannon’s question is: How can this President work with a press that is out of touch with reality and America?? This is the question of the 21st century. How can any company work without good information? Information is the bedrock of any business or organization and critical for a Free Country. Just as you would dump any accountant that gives you faulty information about your business, you should be able to fire or replace a herd that is lying about this Country. Rather the herd eliminates the messenger describing the Dinosaurs in the Tarpit.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Winning Troops

3. That is absolutely horrifying.
Not the rank equivocation. No, that I expect.

Two things that really terrify me in that.
1. A Freeper that believes in dinosaurs. Isn't that unAmerican?
2. Am I mistaken, or did s/he refer to him/herself as "We the consumers"? Erm, not people, huh? Maybe that's the difference between "us" and "them": we're people, they're consumers.

But he was unwittingly right about something:
How can any company work without good information? Information is the bedrock of any business or organization and critical for a Free Country. Just as you would dump any accountant that gives you faulty information about your business, you should be able to fire or replace a herd that is lying about this Country.

But: Rather the herd eliminates the messenger describing the Dinosaurs in the Tarpit. :wtf:

I don't think the dinosaurs get enough critical attention from the media ... and they're tossing the REST of us into the tarpit. (It's a bad analogy, but I'm just trying to work with it.) :eyes:

10. Uh-oh
My Texas-dwelling sister has her own financial business and does my taxes every year (I live in Los Angeles). Friday she confirmed that I was getting a refund and said I should thank "my friends the Republicans." I didn't say a word because I knew the tirade that I'd deliver would fall on deaf ears. She (and the rest of my family there) is convinced that Shrub is the second coming of Christ and will save the world.

Sick, isn't it?

23. Notice how it condemns the press but glosses over the Wolf interview
That fact that Wolf tossed a softball and let "Gannon" say whatever he wanted to in no way conflicts with "bray"s idea of how left leaning the press is. Nothing what so ever.

14. Don't go. Just continue to post their BS for our ammusement.
It is dillusional to think their is not some type of conspiracy with Gannon and it has nothing to do with ideology. It has to do with credibility. One day pass? What the hell is that? If we want more media, I suggest we take the C.J. Craig approach. One credential for every OWNER of a media outlet. That will fre eup seats for some other not-so-mainstream media, but they have to prove thet are credible! Talon news disservice was/is not credible. It's like giving Limbaugh a press credential. What a joke.

I guess that is how you beat the urges. The minute that you realize the person is brainwashed or brainwashing you start singing La La La to yourself and save your beautiful mind.

26. Hi "Jeff" or is that James...
I wonder if this is the guy who wrote those loaded "questions" "Gannon" asked at the White House.

Obviously this brain stem has never heard of the "bully pulpit"...the one his lord and manchild uses to send his money to the large corporates. This guy sounds too "kool-aided" to be much of anything more than another pawn used by the right wing...screwing him and he doesn't even know it.

I think this man does have a point. Talon News needs to continue to be the story here...let's start by finding out who REALLY owns it and if it REALLY is news. That will be news and one this flying monkey sure ain't gonna like.

30. I'm kinda curious since I haven't been over there
Is it sorta like required that you be a bornagainfundie to be 'one of the gang and accepted'? I notice from freep posts posted here that they do a lot of that fundie talk stuff.

Anyone know about that?

If that's the case, its worse than I thought.

35. Well, they routinely boot people out for disagreeing with Shrub
on ANYTHING (especially immigration at the moment), so I don't think diversity is exactly encouraged over there. Even bornagainfundies still have to toe the line. :eyes:

34. No, Faux News "appears" to be right wing
because they spin their stories with a right wing bias, they fawn over George W Bush and administration officials, just about every person on their staff is either a conservative or a moderate (and there are only a few moderates, Juan Williams comes to mind), their "debate" shows usually feature conservative viewpoints being expressed over liberal viewpoints by 2 to 1, and the guests who represent the left are usually moderate Democrats at best.

Perhaps Faux News Channel appears right wing because of Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reiley, Neil Cavuto, Linda Vester, Jon Gibson, Shepard Smith, Ollie North, and their "regular" guests who include Newt Gingrich, Ann Coulter, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and Bill Frist.

Maybe its their insistance on reffering to "homocide bombers" instead of suicide bombers ("homocide bomber" is so stupid, don't most bombs cause homocide?). Or perhaps it is their staunch willingness to air any trivial bit of bullshit Bush propaganda, no matter how much it sounds like bullshit.

Or, maybe the FReeper is right. Maybe Faux News just seems conservative because the media is completely dominated by liberals.

Liberals like Judy Woodruff, Paula Zahn, Wolf Blitzer, Dennis Miller, Pat Buchannan, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Inghram, and Michael Savage.
