POPSAmerica! Join Me in Never Again Watching CNN The pure elitist hateful audacity of those bitches. You KNOW they have their Obamist marching orders. The whole print and b'cast news media has fully descended to pure blog mentality. This week marked another degradation in the long term trend of journalism. OMG what hateful bitches. And they don't even know what job it is they are "doing."

POPSNYT Malpractice - Like it Wasn't Clear at the Time! Why can't this stuff be exposed in real time??!? ------------------------ _<"“The New York Times keeps going over the line in every single campaign and last year was the worst, easily,” said Mal Kline of the American Journalism Center. “They would ignore real questions worth examining about Obama, the questions about Bill Ayers or about how he got his house. Then on the other side they would try to manufacture scandals.” “If this is true, it would not surprise me at all. The New York Times is a liberal newspaper. It is dedicated to furthering the Democratic Party,” said Dr. Paul Kengor, professor of Political Science at Grove City College. “People think The New York Times is an objective news source and it is not. It would not surprise me that if they had a news story that would have swayed the election into McCain’s favor they would not have used it.”

POPSUsing White Guilt for the Media's Preference Poll timed by media to capture momentum. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/politics/national_elections&id=6404046 ...and let's repeat: It is not unknown in news media for a poll to make it to the front page that simply was an excuse to put opinion there.

POPSPolitical Analyst~OR~Partisan Activists??? Olbermann's dominance brings out the worst in Matthews. Even Brokaw. They are both more balanced, when KO is nowhere in sight. An insightful eye can tell the difference when responding to Keith they are timidly stammering for words far enough in the extreme left bias to satisfy him. And their facial expression shows it - clearly. They are resentful, pressured, and under the thumb of Keith Olbermann. At a later point, with Olbermann gone, they are confident, balanced and natural. Myself, I can ferret out this kind of passive-aggressive, irresponsible phony journalism. There are just too many out there that cannot see that the line between news and amateurish blog has disappeared ~ probably for ever.

POPSPassive-Aggression, Lies, Hypocrisy
In their very denials, they blatantly show their bias. Watching MSNBC, I think it is possible that often they really don't think it is showing. Panel members, after multiple exchanges where 5 or 6 (against 1) make snide references in their "analysis", show disdain contrasting wildly with the fawning speech reserved for the DNC & Obama, unashamedly lashing out at speakers they felt personally offended by,...they end up putting together a pair of collective presentations that, to a bipartisan observer, are like night and day. THEN have the balls (incldng. Rachel Maddow)to come off angrily defending their smear-style "journalism" dripping with partisan unevenness of tone, and nastiness, while framing the accusation as - (get this) - a tired Republican tactic. Oh my God! I think they may actually even believe it. How are humans so removed from their own behaviors, I wonder, whether in personal or private. Denial of this nature is to the level of a serious addiction or mental disorder. I

POPSHillary Admits Fox News Is Fair
No adults,however, anchoring MessNBC. Election coverage is an abomination in terms of professionalism. K.O. is pre-occupied fantasizing himself to be one of journalism's historical figures (gag me) and now sidekick Matthews flounders with no guidance or structure, as Williams, Russert, and Brokaw - each capable in their own right - are alternately amused, to uninspired, to disgruntled. MessNBC has always been a mess but rather than finding solutions and seeking professional levels and standards, the ideology remains the priority as it drifts further left. As it falls completely off the leftist edge, it manifests in new ways. As disrespect for authority and disdain for responsible behavior become more the order of the day on the set one sees the inevitable lack of respect they have for each other, dripping mostly from Olbermann's rude sideways glances to belittle his peers. This is the inside glimpse of classic leftist/liberal mindset as it is evident in common scenarios beyond strict

POPSDrip,Drip,Drip,...To The N.Amer.Union .....--<< "an emerging "North American Community," which is what conference organizer Robert Pastor, a former Carter Administration official, prefers to call it. One of Pastor's students at AU suggests that he even favors a North American Parliament. Pastor, though a Democrat, succeeded in persuading Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn to introduce a "North American Investment Fund" bill to send more U.S. tax dollars to Mexico. Both political parties are seen favoring the process of bringing the three countries together into an entity like the European Union that now governs Europe and supersedes the Sovereignty of member governments.

POPSThis comment is pending approval and won't be displayed until it is approved. HERE IS MY COMMENT HUFF- POST REFUSED: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Can't we all just get a little real? Most of these comment-ers would be making the opposite argument had this happened to a Democrat administration. If Armitage from the State Dept.let it slip when there was legitimate curiosity about what had inspired JW's trip to Niger and it was not a malicious "outing",all this other blame is nothing more than gossip.While the trip ended with a highly questionable,seemingly biased opinion on the yellowcake issue,it was a success because Joe Wilson was looking to insert himself into the public eye and to be believed by the drama-driven media.Which,of course,they did. -----------------------------------(CONT'D)

POPSLA Times Swallows for TNR Are you kidding me? "It's also not at all clear to any fair-minded reader what the telephone transcripts actually show" WHAT? After hearing their continued defense of this guy, then reading the phone transcript tells me that the TNR guys were trying to hold on to this military-bashing with every last shred of fingernail and dignity. What a load of crap from this LAT guy. Every reference to blogs and mags that tried to get at the underlying B.S. are derogatory. AND WHAT'S MORE~they still haven't retracted it. It still, after all this, sits out there like a festering, fetid load long devoid of any telltale steam. ;-)

POPSSanchez: MAss Media is Unethical --<<MY ASSESSMENT IS THAT YOUR PROFESSION, TO SOME EXTENT, HAS STRAYED FROM THESE ETHICAL STANDARDS AND ALLOWED EXTERNAL AGENDAS TO MANIPULATE WHAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SEES ON TV, WHAT THEY READ IN OUR NEWSPAPERS AND WHAT THEY SEE ON THE WEB. FOR SOME OF YOU, JUST LIKE SOME OF OUR POLITICIANS, THE TRUTH IS OF LITTLE TO NO VALUE IF IT DOES NOT FIT YOUR OWN PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS, BIASES AND AGENDAS.>>--

POPSIts the Region-Its all One Action We ARE at war with Iran. It became too dangerous NOT to start the business of transforming the middle east. And you don't IMPOSE freedom on anyone. You SET them free. If they can't get the idea and they try to kill you, you do it first. Both sides of the "argument", the talking heads,the "Seymour Hershes" as well as the Hannitys, are agenda driven, removed from reality.

NOT MORE-------------<<<<<<<The Iranian regimes apparent nuclear ambitions and its demonstrated support for terrorist organizations is a global challenge that deserves much more serious treatment than Seymour Hersh provides in the New Yorker article titled The Coming Wars.--------->>>>>>>>>> ---- What on earth can possibly be the value of a guy like this who plays a role of sullen agitator by arriving on the scene every couple years with the illusion of being an exposer of truth because the idiot left has bought his shtick ?

POPSJFK speaks to Press- CLICK TO LISTEN TO JFK'S SPEECH http://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset+Tree/Asset+Viewers/Audio+Video+Asset+Viewer.htm?guid={51BCDE90-AF4F-4EE9-A68E-ECC4CDE97F76}&type=Audio I think the difference then,was that most news folks were patriotic Americans and with some prompting, did take the message seriously. Today the press is more thoroughly infiltrated by the very ones JFK referred to as the enemy--those he warned of trying to use stealth,espionage,theft, and bribery. Those now ARE the press and , as "citizens of the world",pay no heed, many PREFERRING to see America defeated.

POPSMediaMatters Distorts News,Views These people are just nasty. how can anyone honestly believe they are pointing out the biases or keeping journalism honest. Many are falling for one of the biggest hoaxes of all-time which is Media Matters. Its own behavior should be the prime example in an honest monitor of the media. Hypocrisy in a mildly refined form.

POPS Post's Arab media dhimmitude And might I add: = meted out to the atheist,the secular. In fact, maybe, especially so. For that is the source of the culture the fundamentalists rail against - what they call the immorality that calls for beheading.

POPSPress set to SOIL on Report. <quote So how does WaPo report this? White House officials did not deny making the proposal in informal talks with Congress, but they said yesterday that they will not shield the commanding general in Iraq and the senior U.S. diplomat there from public congressional testimony required by the war-funding legislation President Bush signed in May. quote> To make it appear they tried to hide,got caught, then allowed some access,........ALL manufactured by the press,.....and they know they can do it 'cause this W.H. team has been missing these tricks all along and its left to talkers afterwards to try and defend them. Who are accused, of course, of parroting talking points.The reason the talkers have that role is because the admin. is not quick or sharp enough to catch these points in the first place. Which gives me a smirk every time I hear the 'marching orders' accusation. (Dey not too quick up dere.)

POPSThe Burdens of General Petraeus MORE FROM THE ARTICLE= "..............it is hard to recall of any war in our history — the Vietnam hysteria aside — that a sitting Senate majority leader declared it lost in the middle of hostilities. We have not previously witnessed senior opposition senators alleging that their own American servicemen were analogous to Nazis, Stalinists, Cambodian mass murders, Saddam’s Baathist killers, or engaging in habitual terrorizing and killing of innocent civilians." ".......This is the first extended American ground war in the era of instantaneous global communications.The result is that U.S. military officials recognize that any possible strike on the Syria border would be broadcast worldwide as carpet bombing of a wedding party or tribal reunion, while the enemy’s mass beheadings and torture will often go unreported."
