Ban the Broadcast News Media - Democratic Party Bias is endangering the U.S.A.

Our national news media has went too far in their propaganda and activism in favor of a political party and ideology. The recent Romney press conference on the Muslim attacks on our embassies was the last straw. If we are going to have fair and honest elections the Broadcast media must be banned, replaced, and then brought back to the airwaves. I will make a rock solid case with links and full indisputable evidence to follow. But, first we must recognize the nature of the National Broadcast News Networks. This only includes: ABC, CBS, and NBC and only includes their news divisions which should be disbanded.

These three networks use PUBLIC airwaves to share their news broadcasts with millions of American citizens daily. They are licensed to use the PUBLIC airwaves by the government and are fully regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The public airwaves belong to "We the People" as determined by congress in 1934.

Unfortunately, since 1934 the bias on these airwaves has gone from bad to worse. Gone are the days of Edward R. Murrow and honest reporting. The first big hit came with Walter Cronkite's commentary on the Vietnam War. It turned the entire war effort in a few brief sentences. This was fair, as other views were aired... but the Liberal/Left saw the opening. If they could populate the Broadcast News Media with their ilk, they could control the message and turn the public airwaves into a propaganda machine, and so began the modern move to feed the U.S. populace with left wing bias that pulled the nation into the abyss to which today we are about to fall with no return.

Every survey, report, etc... of Broadcast Media members about their ideology has produced a heavy left wing / Democrat"ic" Party leaning since the 1970's. Every single one. Then came the UCLA News Media Bias study which empirically proved without a doubt the national news media bias. Since that 2004 study the bias has become even more profound with events like:

Bush DUI the week before the election, The ABC Mark Haleprin Debate Memo, The CBS Filegate, and NBC's proclamation that it was time to cut Mitt Romney at the knees when he announced his candidacy.

But these overt actions are rivaled by what the media does not cover. Take the case of two U.S. Congressmen embroiled in scandal from the same exact district, just 2 years apart in their scandals, and the huge coverage and lack of coverage given. Note: This event and the parallel's have never really been discussed. You all remember Mark Foley and the nightly broadcasts about his homosexual scandal because he sent texts to a page? Texts! That bastard!!!!! When added up the broadcast media coverage from the three networks over a 2 week period the month before the election totaled over 45 minutes of nightly news broadcast.

But! Do you all remember Tim Mahoney? You know... the guy that was caught on tape threatening physical harm to his mistress if she dared make their affair public. They had actual tapes... the real audio of him threatening here.... and then she received a $50,000+ pay off.... and they had full evidence of that too. An affair, threats of violence, a payoff.... all on tape.... vs...... that's right TEXTS!!!!! ZOMG!!! So... how much time did the Mahoney event warrant on the broadcast news 1 month before before the election... just like Foley... less than 6 minutes and at the bottom of the newscast. The Foley event lead off the news for 3 nights straight and then again 4 other nights. This comparison is outrageous... but sadly true.

Now let's examine what the Broadcast News Media REFUSED to cover last year... or barely cover.

• Obama Donor Receives $433,000,000 No-Bid Contract for Experimental Smallpox Drug
• Obama Administration Pressured a Four Star General to Alter Testimony to Protect Donor
• Obama Administration DREAM ACT by Executive Memo
• Tony Rezko Sentenced to 10 ½ Years for Kickback Scheme as well as his strong ties to Barack Obama and how Barack Obama got his mansion in Chicago from Rezko in a shading under market and tax fraud deal.
• Audit of the Federal Reserve and the $17 TRILLION Given to Foreign and Domestic Banks.
• Obama Supreme Court Justice Kagans’s role in Obamacare and Refusal to Recuse Herself
• Video of the Democratic Congress members locking the door to the Republicans and then sneaking out the back during the Obamacare event.
• United States “Boots on the Ground” in Libyan War
• Crimes at Occupy Wall Street (OWS) – Murder, Rape, Child Molestation, Assault, Theft, and much more…
• Solyndra - $535,000,000 Given to Obama Fundraiser and over $5 BILLION given to other failed "green energy" companies by Barack Obama
• Fast and Furious (U.S. Government Force Gun Sales to Mexican Drug Gangs – U.S. Agent Murdered Along with over 200 Mexican Citizens) (IGNORED FOR OVER 1 YEAR)
• Nancy Pelosi's Brother-In-Law Given $737,000,000 of Tax Payer Money in Green Power Scandal

Only the politically and news astute know about all of these events.... the whole nation should know, but our broadcast news media refuses to cover it.

So not covering something is as bad as bias coverage, but how about full collusion? YEP!!!!!

Who here has heard of "Journolist"? Would you be concerned, as a Liberal, if you found out that all the Republican leaning "journalists" had created a private web forum where they colluded on what to cover, why it was ideologically important, and even decided as a group to call for the banning of Liberal news outlets? Nah... no worries.

Well that is what Journalist and the Liberals did until they were discovered and then the shut it down.

They even conspired on what questions they were going to ask, as a group, to Mitt Romney during the press conference today on the Muslims attacking and murdering our diplomats at our embassies. It's funny because they came off as a pack of jackals attacking a lion. This is nothing we have seen of them when having a press conference with Barack Obama. In fact, the questions asked seemed to come right out of the Obama campaign. Shall we recall Barack Obama's last press conference? Only 4 questions, and three of them were softballs. This is after him having NO press conferences for months on end. That's a big difference. These are ABC, NBC, and CBS reporters colluding.

Then what happened at the Democratic National Convention? We actually had the chosen Democratic Party Delegates vote down a proposal to return God and Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel back to the party platform. But instead of honoring the democratic vote of the delegates, Democratic Party officials negated the vote and forced the President's requested change upon the convention which was far far outside the rules.

So did this amazing story lead off the ABC, NBC, and CBS news coverage? Oh hell no.... in fact they barely covered it. But, we did have Diane Sawyer and the rest of the left wing sycophants fawning all over virtually every Democratic Party speaker while acting hyper-critical of every Republican speaker.

It's time we shut down the broadcast news. Let ABC, NBC, and CBS continue to air their other shows. Until we put some safeguards in place to assure that party propaganda and agenda is not pushed and a fair "4th Estate" is again reborn they need to be shut down. Let them appear on CNN, MSNBC, etc.... but to offer our public airwaves to a political party to push propaganda endangers the freedoms of "We the people". The public has a right to know about Fast and Furious and votes against God from the Democrats. The public has a right to know that Nancy Pelosi has stolen over $700 Million dollars for her family. The public has a right to know that Barack Obama has given his cronies to cure Small Pox..... again.

We are tired of the same 12 stories being covered in virtually the same order on the ABC, NBC, and CBS newscasts and then to have these stories designed to favor one party over another. We are tired of the broadcast news omitting very relevant and important news which the public should know in order to make informed decisions. We are tired of specific measurable bias.

 

I see not one of the Liberal contingent want to deal with the massive amounts of facts laid out in the O.P., but would prefer to troll the thread than discuss the questions and facts presented.

The Public Airwaves are owned by, "We the people". But, they are instead being used as a propaganda tool for the Democrat"ic" Party. This abuse must stop.

 

We will reply to the FACTS when we see EVEN ONE!

The OP is filled with nonsense that even some of which even the Tea Partiers won't touch with a 10-foot (3 meter) pole!

 

Yet... you name none of them? Thanks for the fail post.

 

I agree, as long as we ban AM radio along with it.

Of course I'm sure Rush Limbaugh, and mike Huckabee using public broadcasting frequencies is somehow different huh?

 

Yeah...that ol' Freedom of Speech thing. We don't need it!

 

If the media really is so liberal, then why are they supporting the Democratic Party? The Green Party is much more consistently liberal.

Also, the media must be pretty crappy at promoting Democrats, since Republicans still periodically oust them from office.

 

There is a difference, but you make an excellent point followed with an excellent question.

Rush and Huckabee come off as commentary, partisans, etc... they do not guise themselves as news media broadcasts. If the ABC, NBC, and CBS nightly news want to change their delivery to acknowledge that they are biased commentary, then my issue goes away. But, they do not. They disguised their propaganda and lack of balance as "news".

 

Good point!

But, they have not just supported the Democrat"ic" Party, they have transformed it. Do you think the Democrat"ic" party is more centrist or left wing that it was 20 years ago? Consider that... they have latched onto the biggest target and not only transformed it, but sold it to the American populace.

 

LOL, do you really believe that Rush Limbaugh isn't taken seriously?

I bet Obama can badmouth ABC, CBS, or NBC all he wants without having to apologize, lets see Romney badmouth ol' Rush, and see if he isn't bent on his knee kissing Rush's feet days later.

 

kinda like FOX's "Fair and Balanced" ?

 

Odd how no libs can actually comment on the facts.

Hey, like Bernie Goldberg said about the media 'fish don't know he's wet'. Which is even scarier. They're stupid and shady, and don't even probably realize it.

 

The Democratic Party is definitely more centrist in economic policy than in the past.

When it comes to social policy, they're more liberal, but that's consistent with social progress. Gay rights would be mostly unheard of 30 years ago -- especially gay marriage.

Also, Democrats used to be the Solid South party, so socially, they were more conservative than Republicans if you go back to the 50s and 60s.

Economically, however, Democrats since the Reagan era are more conservative than they were in the 70s. Socialized healthcare is one of the few economically liberal things they lean towards, but even that ended up becoming mandatory private insurance with the ACA -- which isn't so much a liberal or socialist policy as much as it is a corporate fascist one.

So, I'd agree that media corporations have certainly changed the Democratic Party over time, but the agenda isn't really liberalism as much as it is corporate interests.

Granted, the same thing has happened to the GOP in terms of corporate interests.

 

What facts? You mean that list of news items that were covered but not droned on for Months and months like they have been at Faux news?

Bunch of Right Wing facists coming out of the wood work here.

 

Sure he is taken seriously by some... but he does not disguise his show under the claim of a news broadcast. He is highly partisan, admits it, and offers commentary.... not news. If that is the delivery ABC, NBC, ad CBS wish to claim in their delivery, then fine, but let's not kid ourselves that they do not have an agenda. Their job was to deliver the news, not an ideology.

We have tasked ABC, NBC, and CBS with delivering the people of this nation news, not Democrat"ic" Party propaganda. They purposely omit enormous stories as I chronicled because it hurts their bias cause.

 

No, they're not crappy. It just shows how (*)(*)(*)(*)ing pathetically stupid the liberal agenda really is. I mean, can you imagine how many elections Republicans would win if things actually were fair and balanced! Probably all of them.

 

Read the Media Bias Study. A link to it is in the O.P., then come back and I will discuss it further with you.

 

Yes, I mean that list. Would you care to comment on it, or just spout stupid insults?

 

Which stories did Fox News "drone on for months and month"? Specifics please.

Perhaps you are referring to "Fast and Furious" which the national broadcast media refused to cover for over 1 year? Or are you talking about Van Jones which they never covered until he left the Obama Administration? Solyndra? ABC, NBC, and CBS would not cover it either. Please share with us which stories, then we can discuss the Fox vs. ABC, NBC, and CBS coverage.

 

Well, if the media was more accurate and comprehensive, I'd imagine most people would probably vote for alternative parties after seeing how the big two mostly support the same special interests.

 

Now there is something we can agree upon!

 

I'm curious. Why? Why should we? There's no grounds for this. Other then people who rountinly complain about the media, you have nothing. There are no grounds for this. I'm not going to argue whether or not they're left wing. It's pointless. What I say or tell will fall upon deaf ears. So instead I'll debate the free speech part. No one is forcing you to watch them. You can change the channel when you want to. If they want to say something, then they have a right to. That would be freedom of speech. Just because something is biased doesn't mean we should ban it. Should we also ban Breitbart.com? Should we ban Rush Limbaugh? Should we ban any right wing reporter from speaking? No, because that would infringe upon their rights. So how is anything the OP wants to do, any differnt?

 

On don't think you read the O.P.

I don't think you understand the nature of Broadcast Airwaves.

I don't think you understand the need for a non-Party based propaganda news source as it relates to Broadcast Airwaves.

I don't think you understand "Freedom of Speech" as it relates to the broadcast news.


I would highly recommend you read the O.P. and then come back and comment.

 

Yes... for nothing says freedom quite like banning the media. Hey OP, I do not like what you have to say so should you be banned? Or should you be allowed your freedom of speech?

FYI I am not a Democrat nor do I support Obama. I do however support the freedom of speech.

 

You did not read the O.P.
