« New Poll: Bush Up in Pennsylvania and Michigan | Main | Andrew Sullivan: John Kerry's Unofficial Secretary of State (and Defense!) »

Anatomy of a Rollback

Why, oh why, does it seem the Liberal Legacy Media is in such a terrible rush to publish derogatory information about the Bush Administration, often without doing the most basic fact-checking, and yet ABCNews carefully ponders the "political implications" of Al Qaeda's endorsement of John Kerry, and refuses to broadcast it?

It's a stone cold mystery. Who can figure this puzzler out? Certainly not your humble one-man right-wing attack-machine.

Belgravia Dispatch has a long and strong post about the DNC/NY Times' rush to put out, ahem, explosive allegations about Bush's incompetence, and then its slow, begrudging, but inexorable rolling back of the story without admitting an iota of error.

Long story short-- I summon the pithy, earthy wisdom of Vinny Gambino: "Everything that guy just said is bullshit."

Disgraceful.

The liberal media realizes it's already gone too far this time in pimping for their media-government complex allies, and that there's no reason any more to hold back. A Bush victory -- and likely Republican gains in the House and the Senate -- will destroy them.

So, we have two options. Option A, we vote like madmen and in one glorious day demolish not only John Kerry and his southern sweetheart John Edwards, but ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, the New York Times, the LA Times, and, just for shits and giggles, Andrew Sullivan and Josh Marshall.

Option B, you sit on your ass because you're too lazy to spend an hour at the polling place and Kerry wins and the media wins and within three years the Supreme Court is dominated by six liberal judges and you kiss away any hope of ever getting your country back again.

Your choice.

Not that I'm endorsing Bush for President, you understand. I'm still "wrestling over the issues."

It is better to write first, then italicize where needed. Otherwise, you might forget something...

The insular world of academia and media is recoiling in horror at being treated in kind by the Internet and bloggers. I want the media to fully feel the "slap" and insult of being accosted, gotcha'd, fact-checked and doubted. I want them to feel the full weight of intelligent bloggers tearing them to shreds with facts, as well as the sting of agenda-driven bloggers twisting and spinning the facts unfairly. I want the media to suffer some of the mental anguish they have foisted upon the larger portion of citizens for the last 40 years.

Because then, they'll know what it's been like to for the rest of us to open a paper, turn on the television, and see lies, distortions, omissions and...really, how much else we don't know...and feel betrayed, oppressed, and dismissed as idiots.

The media has become the dreaded child in the Twilight Zone story that everyone appeases because they don't want to be sent to the cornfield. Nobody deserves that kind of power. Media elites think that they alone can be trusted to be the arbiters of truth? Look what they've done with it, keeping good people from running for office, lest they offend the media gods. It's tragically real, not Rod Serling fiction anymore.

How much more has been kept from us over the years? On what omissions have we been basing our opinions about important issues? Thanks to the Internet, we're beginning to see.
