Exclusive: After Targeting Greedy Government, Citizens Target its Aiders and Abettors – the Mainstream Media
The Editors
After having done their best to ignore Tea Parties across the nation and, when they couldn’t ignore the biggest one of all in Washington D.C. this month, vastly underreporting the numbers of American citizens who showed up to exercise their First Amendment rights, the media find themselves directly in the crosshairs of an exasperated American public.
A recent poll by Sacred Heart University indicates that nearly 90 percent of Americans think the media actively worked to get Obama elected, 70 percent think the press is promoting his presidency, and 56 percent say the media are pushing ObamaCare “without objective criticism.”
The mainstream media or, as some are calling it, the minion media have had a particular bias for decades. Only with the relatively recent advent of the new media – talk radio, cable news and the Internet – have many Americans awakened to the reality of what drives the media. Is it a search for the truth? Sadly, it’s more often a push for a particular ideology. To be honest, most people would be more accepting of this if the media would simply state its bias – on either side of the aisle – up front. Then we’d be able to read or watch the news with the proverbial grain of salt and read between the lines. But we’ve just about reached the limits of our patience with phony claims of neutrality.
More journalists should be like John Stossel, who recently announced he is leaving ABC for Fox:
I have been one of the few reporters on mainstream network TV who did not hide his political beliefs. Viewers know I am for individual liberty and the free market, and against government coercion. I thought that this candor might earn me some credit from those who disagree with me. After all, by putting my views out there, everyone can judge my reports accordingly.
[…]
Every reporter has political beliefs. The difference is that I am upfront about mine.
So, America, brace yourselves for a new round of tea parties – gatherings that the media will have difficulty ignoring because they are the target.
Protests are planned for October 17th that will take place on the front steps of 30 press offices around the nation, including the CNN studios in Atlanta, a yet-to-be-announced location in New York City and the Plain Dealer in Cleveland. For a complete listing of cities and locations, click here.
The Southfield studios of ABC are on 10 Mile Road which is under construction so that location has been taken off of the list ... we are actively searching out locations in the southeast Michigan region ... going to take a look at WDIV studios in Detroit on Lafayette Street ... the Troy location is great except that NBC doesn's have any placard stating that they are indeed renting office space from 2001 W. Big Beaver (southwest corner of Big Beaver and Coolidge Hwy). Go to www.patriotsforamerica.ning.com/ for more details.

Fox News s u x too. In a court case several years back, the judge, in his decision, stated that Fox did not have to tell the truth. At best it's entertainment only and at worst they spin and line to further a certain agenda, be it war or whatever.
