This is the same media that wasn't willing to tell you Obama was lying about getting to keep your doctor until after the election.

So you are telling me that is the media's fault for having the audacity to show the speeches of social conservatives? Oh, that's a good one, if only we just didn't know what nut jobs some of the tea party candidates are, everything would be OK, ignorance is bliss. Fred you have indeed been brainwashed by the right, while complaining that the current administration hasn't told the truth, you are advocating that the conservatives hide the truth of the far right social conservatives, paint them as simply fiscal conservatives, until, of course, they get in office.

Read through the many many threads here started by conservatives, there is one constant theme.... No matter what the issue, no matter what their complaint, it's always the media's fault. Really, FOX might take exception to that characterization. I have very seldom seen the right take responsibility for their own mistakes.....

As long as extremist elements continue to drive the Republican party it will continue to deteriorate. Fortunately, the moderate wing of the party is finally starting to fight back. That part of the party recognizes that it takes compromise to govern our country. What the radical right has been pushing will not work, and it has led the party to a time of decision I sincerely hope the sensible part of the party prevails. RINO should refer to the Birch wing of the party.

In the old days, the media was proud to be advocates, papers even called themselves names like the Park County Republican. Now they pretend to be impartial, but most graduates of journalism schools are liberals, taught by liberal professors, going to work in liberal newsrooms. And they are also taught that their job is to help people and save the world instead of just reporting the facts like the old days. The stories they want to cover are the ones that make conservatives look bad, especially if you can get a sound bite that you can mix so that it is extreme. Like when NBC cut the tape about Zimmerman to make it sound like he called him black when he was only answering the dispatcher's question.

Archer,
Maybe you are happy that the liberal media crafts the tales you were already ready to believe, but I prefer a variety of sources for my news.

Yes, lets continue to follow the moderates like Obama & W who both thought there is no problem with spending $3 for every $2 that come in.
We will be out of office before the system comes crashing down, right?

You are wrong. There you go lumping all journalist in the same bucket, doing exactly the same thing that Archer does.

I know at least 8 on the reporters for The Flume (full name of the paper is still Park County Republican/The Flume - check their masthead) and it's actually frightening how unbiased they are.

I've actually learned a lot from these reporters and the editor at The Flume. I've learned how to write an article that doesn't have any stink of my personal opinions.

Don't stoop down to being a bigot like LJ and Archer.

I'll put my sources and research up against yours any day......and I have no problem remembering where I got my information and providing a source where appropriate.

I've never lumped you into "all liberals" ever. I'm well aware that there are liberals that are nothing like you.

Why make this personaL? My comment had nothing to do with what you have, or have not, posted about me....... I could post that the sky is blue on a sunny Colorado day and you would attack me for my post, I'm quite used to that. No my post was about your body of work here, unbiased it ain't.
