The Old Media: The Unoffical Media Arm of the Democratic National Committee

...and it has been for years. Now why do I say unofficial arm of the DNC rather than official? Well think of those recent Wendy's commercials with that "unofficial" spokesman. He did sure love Wendy's but the fast food chain was not paying him and/or had any relationship with him.

Now our national media may befriend Democrats hands down, but so far it has not taken any money from the party or whatever...at least we think they don't.

So why am I writing this piece? Well with the Newsweek gate scandal I need to present my take on this. Most of this week I have linked pieces from both the right and the left about Newsweek Gate, and I think its time to understand in a nutshell about our modern media and their loyalties not only to Democrats but sworn enemies of liberty, freedom, and The United States as was envisioned by our founders.

First of all we all have an axe to grind and we all have a point of view. It is just those who call themselves journalists claim to be objective and neutral but many times than not they tend to be advocates of their convictions.

While their is not one single person that began activist journalism we sure can name off some household names of the past century, starting with chain smoker Edward R. Murrow. Ann Coulter in her best selling book "Treason" exposed the real Murrow and show he had covered for many communists that Senator Joseph McCarthy tried to expose. Murrow a respected voice in the news media during the 1940's and 50's was able to spin McCarthy in a negative light, and was successful in that task. In spite of McCarthy's recklesness the people that he claimed were communists in fact were. Sadly because of McCarthy's downfall these commies were not put into their proper places in their attempt to usher in communism in America. It should be noted that FDR allowed Alger Hiss to work for him during his years us President of the United States. Hiss was proven to be a commie but that did not bug FDR and most Democrats.

Murrow's chain smoking would finally do him in on April 27, 1965.

Marrow's co-worker Walter 'Crankenhouse' Cronkite was also able to turn on the charm during his years as the anchor of the "CBS Evening News." The smart ones were able to find out what Cronkite liked and disliked by his 'eyebrow' raising. However during the coverage of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Cronkite broke into tears for everyone to see. It seems that Cronkite really loved JFK (he was one of the better Dems, but that's another post). Their is nothing bad about crying over the loss of a president, but what many conservatives have an issue with Cronkite is his attempt to spin the Vietnam War stories.

In a commentary Cronkite said;

"It seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience of Vietnam is a stalemate and that the war is unwinnable."

Or was it really? In any case Uncle Walt was able to turn public opinion against the war. Middle America truly believed that Vietnam was a bad ideal. One last great hope to win Vietnam was Richard Nixon, but thanks to a burglary at the Democratic Headquarters (Watergate) Nixon would be disgraced. Who played a role in Nixon's downfall? Walter Cronkite himself. He had a story on Watergate on every newscast. The anti-war press won, and America left Vietnam and the Vietcong would soon win the war, and to this day Vietnam is living in a communist utopia. Just want Cronkite and his gang wanted. I should remind you all that Cronkite has admitted to being liberal and is an open advocate for "One World Government" under the United Nations.

It seems that the Democratic sympathizers were able to dupe most Americans into their agenda, but more recently they have been losing grip on this. It began with the grassroots movements in the late 1960's in which conservatives tried to get the word out about their point of view. National magazines like the National Review came on the scene to promote conservative ideals. In 1987 the end of the fairness doctrine allowed radio commentators like Rush Limbaugh to rise in popularity. Also thanks to the internet and the concept of the weblog (Blog) the old media is not able to manipulate an outcome like they used to.

While the Media gave cover to Bill Clinton in the 1990's, talk radio hosts were to point out his flaws.

The recent attempts to smear George W. Bush failed, included the 'national guard' records that brought Dan Rather's downfall and Newsweek claming that copies of the Koran were being 'flushed' that would cost lives in the Middle East as well. The liberals are mad as hell and want to push back the 'right wing' machine. If they had it their way, the liberals would impose a 'fairness doctrine' on people like me. Now keep in mind that I am a libertarian and don't support everything on the GOP platform, but since I do believe in limited government, the individual over the collective, and free enterprise over big government; it makes me a threat to many of these leftys and I must be stopped along with the rest of the rightys.

The good news is that people are learning that the old media are advocates for the Democrats, but if I called them the official arm of the Democrats, I would be just as guilty as CBS News and Newsweek as you can see. I can say however that they are an unofficial arm of the Dems cause through their actions, words, and who they vote as a collective.
