On the contrary. They are very professional at what they do, which is to utilize Alynski’s rules efficiently.
You can’t kill the message until the messenger is dead. If one were to make the message of the Tea Parties irrelevant, simply by making the prospect of attending one distasteful, one does not have to fight the spread of information one doesn’t control.
Calculated, conniving, and convincing. Unless you know the truth. Then it is just pathetic battle by rulebook.

They’d be unprofessional if they were actually “ethical journalists” (oxymoron!) to begin with.
As it is, most members of the MSM are driven to journalism by activism according to the liberal editor of the Seattle Times and would vote “blue”.
“If we wore our politics on our sleeves in here, I have no doubt that in this and in most other mainstream newsrooms in America, the majority of those sleeves would be of the same color: blue. Survey after survey over the years have demonstrated that most of the people who go into this business tend to vote Democratic, at least in national elections. That is not particularly surprising, given how people make career decisions and that social service and activism is a primary driver for many journalists.â€
What he didn’t say was that it’s activism on behalf of infiltrator Marxists who have brainwashed them over generations and for the Nazi’s currently running our government in Washington, D.C.

So you’re a Lawn Geylander, too? Newsday’s the paper I stopped reading because of the biased reporting. I don’t even trust the local news they print. I can’t wait to retire and move south.

LMFAO! That is the most perfect cartoon for the situation.

Well there is no better authority on the subject of teabaggin’ than Anderson Cooper. Apparently he enjoys being the cup.
If anyone had any doubts that Journalism died in 2008 – here’s the tantamount proof. I wonder if all those guys get together with that CNN sorry excuse for a professional of any kind and sit around cracking jokes about those Right Wing Extremists with potential for violence….

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – the MSM is public enemy #1.
This is a sound point. This topic will come up again I am sure within the Active scope of influence. Under: Define the enemy.
1. Socialist government (All three branches)
2. Socialist media
3. Socialist academics
It is not enough to remove just one.

I blame the MSM for the election of the disaster Obama.

C’mon guys, “a little proletarian vulgarity won’t hurt you will it?”

They did not want to cover the story so they became the story.
Stupid asses.
I pray that there is a huge backlash from the public, because how dare they belittle American citizens who obviously care about the massive debt and slight of hand coming out of Washington.
We are bankrupted spiritually so it makes sense that we are bankrupted monitarily which touches every aspect of our lives.
G*d just wants us to wake up to what we are losing, the gift our Creator bestowed upon us, which man forever has been trying to take away from from each other ~~~FREEDOM.

the interview with rachel madcow and some broad names ana marie COX was really insulting. Every other word out of there mouths was teabagging giggling, It was like listining to jealous girls not getting the prom queen. silly and totally imature drones.

Really? I’m tired of talking. I’m tired of dialogue. When do we just get it on? I don’t like most liberals. They’re rude, narcissitic, and insipid. They serve little purpose for me save for the spike in blood pressure they cause when I hear their nasal whine. Their kids are usually brats, made rude and stupid by rude and stupid people. I love this nation but we’re at a point of no return and I now believe people like us would be better served by splitting apart from fucking, idiots and jizz gurglers like the Anderson Cooper and the other queers at MSNBC and CNN.

I don’t know about anyone else here, but I had a fuckin blast at the Tea Party I attended. 6000+ estimated by the Washington State Patrol.
Last numbers I heard from WND was approaching one million nationwide.
The 6000 at Olympia doesn’t include all the people driving by as we marched to the Capitol building who honked and waved and the people in their respective workplaces who waved and cheered and took pictures.
Two elected state politicians were invited to speak–one Democrat and one Republican. The Democrat really raked the state government, especially the governor, over the coals for their tax and spending initiatives, including establishing a state income tax. The Republican senator, a young woman, gave a fiery speech. Thought I was hearing Sarah Palin. Even the children and the dogs were carrying signs of protest. It ain’t over yet. There are already plans in the works for more. The interesting thing to note is that for a very high percentage of the participants this was the first time they had ever protested the government. Me included.

the libral media needs to be dissmantled, they just cant be honest, or trusted
DoubleTap
We can not silence the press – they just need to be persuaded that reporting the left is no longer fashionable. The media is incapable of reporting factual news, they merely say what they believe will increase ratings. They want the controversy, the gore, the dirty laundry. This is how they get to their end goal – they pander to the liberals who love to be stroked. Real information is not useful to them – they want to be ego stroked. Until that becomes unpopular, or starts to kill their ratings, they won’t change. They are not journalists (does not exist any more) – they are all just cheap whores.

I agree/disagree, by that I mean that the right to free speech and a free press is clear. However, what has become of the MSM is so completely outside the scope of reality as to have become a farce. They are literally a dedicated propaganda organ of the now socialist State. As such they fall outside the protections of the very Constitution they seek to destroy. I include them as one of three primary domestic enemies which must be removed to foster the return of the Republic as the founders intended. Therefore, we should not seek to remove their freedom of speech, we should seek to remove the microphone.

The only thing the MSM gained from this was the realization of a large group of fence sitters that the MSM has lost its integrity on every level possible an is now (has been) just a mouthpiece for the “progrssive” (code word for Socialist) party.
This will come to a head in 2010 over the “election”. Its got to brew a bit longer…..gives us time to contingency plan
With GE getting $100billion+ in scam-u-lus money, don’t expect anything truthful rolling out of MSNBC or NBC “news” anytime soon.

Dont think Ill be watching ’24′ any more. Liked the
show, but now after hearing Ms. Jeneanne’s learned
oral sex comments, I will always be wondering where her face has been, and what she does with it.
Do you have an email where we can send comments to the show?

I can’t help but recognize how reflexive it is for our radical left media to immediately associate their proclivity to suck balls with two little words. Tea Party. Do normal people hear those words and immediately think of sucking balls? Given how easily Cooper, Shuster and Olbermann associate the word “tea” with sucking balls, I question their frame of reference. Personally, like most normal people, I am a male who never thinks about sucking a guy’s balls. Yet, say the word “tea” around Cooper, Shuster, or Olbermann, and they immediately think of sucking balls. Cooper even says, quite casually and without a second thought, that its difficult to talk with a mouth full of another man’s balls. I think the next tax protests should be called Free Individuals from Skyrocketing Taxation parties. I can see Cooper now; “I know this will be difficult and painful for Obama. He might not appreciate it at first, but like everyone I know, he’ll get used to it and learn to love it.” Olbermann and Shuster. “You know Keith, Obama must appreciate this. The more people who participate in this, the better, because the focus is on Obama and how he reacts to the intrusion of his agenda, not whether he likes it.” “Yes David, I’ve always found that the more people that watch these activities, the better. I know I am hooked on watching the FISTing parties. The bigger the better. I love to see it get bigger and I often feel bigger myself when I watch and that, more than anything else, makes me think about Obama. I mean, he handles these things so smoothly. I doesn’t bother him at all. He can take it and anything they shove at him. I know he can do two things at once.”
