I guess that's just one more thing about the Constitution that Obama does not agree with. These guys are going to control the media at all costs.

No surprise there.

Anyone remember the opening to the TV show The Outer Limits?

Cutting off access to information helps them present only what they want citizens to know.

... let's top it off by only teaching kids what the self righteous liberals believe to be true and discounting everything that they disagree with as a lie.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the biggest issue that Conservatives face is the biased media. When you control what story is put out to the majority of the voters, then you control what they think. Fact, indisputable, except by those that don't want to accept the truth.

If you control the information, you control the thought process. We got out done decades ago when the LFT's got onto campus and began spreading their doctrine through their own propaganda.

Stick a fork in it folks.

The media hasn't changed their bias in the last decade...it's time the conservatives acknowledge the disadvantage and learn to adjust accordingly. No more excuses.

Not an excuse, clearly, you don't get it. That's ok, just means you're part of the problem.

Absolutely 110% correct. This "Poor me" shit will solve nothing. But! Keep it up dimwits and keep losing!

The fact that you guys think Fox is actually news is pretty sad.

I will grant you MSNBC is in the tank for Democrats, why can you not see that Fox is the same for Republicans?

Both organizations should have their credentials pulled. Let them exist at "entertainment" channels for that is all they are.

No I do get it. It's time the pubs work with the cards they've been dealt. Time to start clubs on college campuses, get the youth involved, learn to use social media effectively, and start rebutting misinformation. Until the pubs learn to work with the liberal controlled media, they'll continue to lose and blame it n the media. At this point, the media isn't going to change, and I'm not willing to throw in the towel jut yet.

Fox News absolutely leans to the right. But it's closer to the center than the other media outlets at this time.

Given the shit you cite as "facts" and "news" this is just plain funny.

Yea, Fox leans right. I think every single person here would admit that. The fact that the audience is actually smart enough to know it is the difference. You on the other hand seem to think the leftist bullshit that you read from bloggers, Huffington Post, Salon.com, CNN, and the rest of them that you agree with are completely unbiased.

Throw in the towel. This past election was the clear indicator that we're over the edge. There are enough people now willing and able to vote themselves other peoples money.

Stick a fork in it.
