truckinslave -> Declining credibility of MSM (3/28/2010 10:14:21 AM)
On the heels of Andrew Breitbarts' effective debunking of the Lamestream-Media-driven hype of racial epithets hurled recently at John Lewis comes a statement from CNN worthy of Pravda in the 70s, or of Baghdad Bob proclaiming "There are no American tanks in Baghdad" even as they could be heard and seen in the background. There were "at least dozens" of protesters at the Searchlight, Nv Tea Party rally. See more HERE. More and more, it really is the messenger. If it's on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, or CBS, I take it pretty skeptically.

Or more accurately, on television.

exactly MM. Fox is not any more reliable than the others. Its all about the senationalist dollar, which, imho, is contributing more than anything to the undercurrent of hate and the inability to negotiate or discuss like adults.

Anything I see or hear on Fox News requires at least one other source due to their conservative bias and their propensity to misrepresent the facts.

Most of us could choose to be better educated and informed, be less ideological and consider all sides of an issue before we declare the other side to be wrong or evil, and turn off CNN or Fox or MSNBC or talk radio and read a book instead. The partisan rhetoric of MSM has too often become a substitute for critical thinking. What a shame.

Does anyone realize how her credibility tarnishes the entire tea bagger movement? Go!!! Tea baggers Go!!!
