Re: 60 Minutes
As this thread is about 60 minutes and the liberal bias that is evident in every piece they present. (Or intensionally omit) The neat thing is, they are dead and don't already know it. Quarter by quarter the rating dwindle away and they just can't figure out why??? News Flash!!! Fox News, Talk Radio, Internet magazines, are all taking more and more market share. What is their response? More Liberal tripe. Real sharp bunch. People like their news fair and balanced. They are hungry for facts, and not emotion, they want stylistic presentation and credible sources. (Did you hear that NY Times) They want the news presented in a way that predicts the future and not directs it.<br /><br />Rush, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reiley, Christopher Hitchins are not pretending to be reporters, they are conservative commentators. Dan Rather an those of his ilk, go about their fairy tale world pretending to be "balanced". The problem is a blind man can see they have an agenda dispite their positions as pillars in the 4th estate. They trade on their reputations and positions to forward their own special brand of social engineering. Those who the left hate so much, the Rush Limbaugh's who have the strength of charactor to stand up and identify who they are, what they are doing, and do it in a way that allows people to think through the issues and decide whether to subscribe or disregard or oppose, is at least intellectually honest. <br /><br />60 Minutes is a joke and would be happy to get the viewership of a daily O'Reiley Factor in the next couple of years. Liberal's identified the power of the media, siezed control and lied to the American public who they claim to serve and present only the news they found appropriate to reach their specific goals. (It worked once upon a time in Germany) One problem, in this country we are allowed to think for ourselves. And based on the ratings for FN, Rush, the silent conservative majority now has been able to be identified, counted, and their points of view dealt with. No matter how they try, this is a free market system, and the past three decades as shills for the democratic party will have to end or they will find themselves broke, discredited, and irrelavant. Liberals will always have NPR and Public television to further their agenda, but who will be watching? <br /><br />Can someone help me find the Al Franken's radio empire??? If he fails, do you think he will blame himself and try and try again to attain his noble goal, or blame others and the stupidity of the American public and continue on with his wildly successful acting career.<br /><br />Has San Fransisco put Fox News on their cable package yet?????
