The Ever-Worse Establishment Media
Once again, the Media Research Center identifies the real haters.
If I had the lack of class and perspective that much of the establishment media has, I would call them all hateful, moronic, bigoted, murderous Stalinists.
Since I’m not, maybe I’ll just leave the “hateful” and “moronic” in place.
Such reflections come as smoke pours from my ears after considering this year’s ballot for the Media Research Center’s invaluable, annual “Notable Quotable” awards for the year’s worst reporting. The MRC asks about 40 conservative media folks each year to judge the contest, providing choices in 17 different categories such as the “Tea Party Terrorists Award” (for, yes, equating the Tea Party with terrorists) and the Obamagasm Award (for gushing, in chill-up-leg fashion, about how heroic the current Occupy the Oval Office leader is). We each rank the three worst examples of bias (or, worse, sheer hate directed at conservatives) in each category, and then also vote for the (worst) Quote of the Year.
To show just how low the lickspittle Lilliputians of the establishment media are, consider that none of the following examples even made it into my votes for “worst three” examples in any of those 17 categories. If these are the also-rans, just think how bad the others are.
1) Salon’s Joan Walsh: “These
people, the Tea Partiers and their friends and their enablers and
their corporate friends like Dick Armey, they have created this
shrieking on the right…. They’re paying the lowest taxes in 50
years — more than 50 years, more than my lifetime — and they are
still complaining. And some of them aren’t complaining. There are
some good business people who know this game of chicken, in
particular, is deadly and it’s wrong and it’s hostage-taking. And
you shouldn’t negotiate with hostage-takers.
Host Chris Matthews: “I agree with you. I agree
with you. I agree. It’s terrorism.” — MSNBC’s
Hardball, July 5.
2) “I have a confession to make. I can describe the legal arguments and the judicial conclusions, but on a fundamental level, I just don’t get the attack on the federal law…. I don’t understand the moral compass of the owner of the fancy car I saw the other day that sported the bumper sticker: ‘Repeal ObamaCare.’” — Longtime New York Times Supreme Court reporter Linda Greenhouse in a column for the Times’ “Opinionator” blog, Sept. 21.
3) “So when does SEAL Unite 6, or whatever it’s called, drop in on George Bush? Bush was responsible for a lot more death, innocent death, than bin Laden. Wasn’t he, or am I wrong here?” — Left-wing radio host and former CNN producer Mike Malloy on The Mike Malloy Show, May 2.
4) “The interesting question is: what is it about this President that has stripped away the veneer of respect that normally accompanies the office of the President? Why do Republicans think this President is unpresidential — unpresidential, and shouldn’t dare request this kind of thing? It strikes me that it could be the economic times, it could be that he won so big in 2008, or it could be, let’s face it, the color of his skin.” — MSNBC political analyst and ex-Newsweek reporter Richard Wolffe talking about the brief contretemps over scheduling Obama’s speech to Congress, The Last Word, August 31.
5) “Hardball is absolutely non-partisan.” — MSNBC’s Chris Matthews in an interview with local Washington, D.C. host Carol Joynt, as quoted by The Politico’s Patrick Gavin in a Dec. 9, 2010 article.
And, while these last two aren’t mainstream media, it’s beyond contempt that the mainstream media gives a forum to such people… In MRC’s category called “The Barbra Streisand Political IQ Award” for Celebrity Vapidity, consider these:
1) “America’s full of such hatred in terms of politics, and the politics of hate is so rampant. And now, the only kind of minority that can really be dealt with in that way is the gay population…. I think that the Tea Party have some very, very — some quite sensible notions, actually, when — on paper. But also that kind of seems to be an umbrella thing that just covers up a lot of real homophobia and racism.” — Actor Alan Cumming, who stars on CBS’ The Good Wife, on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight, Sept. 22.
2) “The Scale of Right Wing sociopolitical sabotage necessitates a Nuremberg-scale trial for all the corporate agents and treasonous capitalisto-fascist architects of our democracy’s current and most pressing misery. From the blatant Republican policy doublespeak emanating from think-tank sponsored word doctors to the outright obstruction and lies expectorated by Republican congressional representatives and senators, the very concept of governance can only be considered once the culprits are removed. Driven to the real madness by unadulterated greed they have embraced an ideology, the success of which hinges upon the very ruin of this nation.” — Actor Steven Weber (from the 1990s sitcom Wings) writing at the Huffington Post, October 24.
And now, as a special treat, I will let you, the readers, help me select the Quote of the Year. I have particular criteria for my QoY. For one thing, except in rare instances I rule out entries in which the author/speaker self-identified it as opinion journalism rather than straight news reporting. The opinions may be more outrageous, but the journalistic sin is usually not as bad (unless the opinion is just so disgustingly hateful, or so cloyingly hero-worshipping of a leftist, that it shouldn’t be aired at all). (Actually, I am breaking my rule here for an Obamagasm entry, the first one below, because it’s so over-the-top. But if you, the reader, consider this criterion important, you may consider not voting for it for that reason.) For a second consideration, if the ludicrous statement actually has a demonstrable error of fact (in addition to obscene opinions), it gets bonus points in my mind for worst of the year. Third, I never use “celebrity vapidity” statements as my QoY, no matter how bad, because they aren’t even claiming to be journalists. That said, here are the three quotes to which I’ve narrowed down my choice this year. I’ll explain this how you can help me vote at the end:
1) “Can we just enjoy Obama for a moment? Before the policy choices have to be weighed and the hard decisions have to be made, can we just take a month or two to contemplate him the way we might contemplate a painting by Vermeer or a guitar lick by the early-seventies Rolling Stones or a Peyton Manning pass or any other astounding, ecstatic human achievement? Because twenty years from now, we’re going to look back on this time as a glorious idyll in American politics, with a confident, intelligent, fascinating president riding the surge of his prodigious talents from triumph to triumph…. ‘I am large, I contain multitudes,’ Walt Whitman wrote, and Obama lives that lyrical prophecy…. Barack Obama is developing into what Hegel called a ‘world-historical soul,’ an embodiment of the spirit of the times. He is what we hope we can be.” — Esquire’s Stephen Marche in a column for the magazine’s August 11 issue, “How Can We Not Love Obama? Because Like It or Not, He Is All of Us.”
2) “The House began debating a spending bill today that cuts $833 million from the WIC nutrition program, which provides healthy food to low-income women and children…. Now what was it that Jesus said? ‘Give me your poor and needy, and I’ll tell them to pound sand.’ That’s at least the Republican vision of Jesus.” — Anchor Cenk Uygur during the 6 pmET hour of MSNBC News Live, June 14.

Vern Crisler| 12.1.11 @ 9:32AM
I agree. This allusion to Hegelianism to describe Obama (or any politician) is rich in its sheer moronism. Newt should also take care to keep his "Hegelian" vision of himself under control. An NR writer, Jonah Goldberg, referred to his fear that "world-historical Newt" would appear every time Newt starts letting things go to his head. Funny.

But, it's always been this way. Can you say: Walter Durante?Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. You don't believe me?
A study was done, a couple years ago, that determined that roughly 20% of Americans suffer from a Mental Disorder. Gallup informs us that roughly 20% of Americans define themselves as Liberals, and in the 2008 Election, roughly 20% of the American People voted for this Marxist/Muslim, who was raised in the Muslim Schools and Mosques of Indonesia.
The Press loved Hitler. Joe Kennedy loved Hitler. They loved Lenin, and Franco, and "Uncle Joe" Stalin. They loved Mussolini, Castro, Mugabe, the ANC, Ortega, and Chavez.
By contrast, they HATED Hoover, Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Bush. The Father and the Son.
They Loved FDR, Johnson, Carter, and The RAPIST.
Now, they stand firmly behind the White Hating/Jew Hating/America Hating, Ex-Coke Snorting, Far Left Radical Marxist/Muslim, who has surrounded himself with Communists, Marxists, Socialists, Maoists, Anarchists, Black Panthers, and Terrorists, his whole life. Who has sealed all of his pertinent Personal Records, in a Vault, thousands of miles from the Mainland of this Country. And, has just now SEALED all of the Records pertaining to the U.S. AGENT, who was Murdered by a weapon that was Bought and Paid for, by THIS PRESIDENT, and then smuggled over the border, and delivered to the Mexican Drug Cartels by THIS PRESIDENT. Why? So he could Propagandize the inevitable MURDERS of Innocent Mexican Men, Women, and Children, in his quest for the LEFT'S Holy Grail: Uber Gun Control/Confiscation.
The "Media" has left the building a long time ago.
"Dave's not here, man. Nobody here but Me. Chris Mathews, David Gregory, Christiane Whatever, Ed, COW, and Ubie. There's only ABC, CBS, and NBC. CNN, PBS, MoveOn, Moveover, and Bendover. There's only George Soros, Warren Buffett, and Jeffery Immelt. There's only The WAPO, The Times (pick one), The Nation, The Huffington Puffington, and The JournOlists.
See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil, and PRINT NO EVIL. For HE has come. The One we've been waiting for. The MESSIAH. And the World will never be the same.
"And I saw the BEAST rise from the Sea. And he was given a MOUTH, to speak Haughty and Blasphemous words. And he was allowed to exercise Authority for forty two months." Revelation 13-5.
Go read your BIBLE. Look at the World. Look who is the Leader of the Free World. A MUSLIM, raised in a Foreign Land, who Hates the JEWS, and tramples on Freedom, with every utterance from his Lying MOUTH, Israel is surrounded by Islamists who have come to power ON HIS WATCH. The Terrorist Group - HAMAS - believes that he - ABU HUSSAIN - has been sent by Allah, to deliver them from the Scourge of the JEW INFESTATION.
Is the WORLD better off than it was 3Years ago? Is Freedom Safer, or Less Safe, than it was 3 Years ago? Is the World more PEACEFUL, since this THING won his PEACE PRIZE?
I'm just saying.

Forgot Che, worshipped in hollywood! Its constructive to watch the Government media, because the sheeps clothing is off them for good and there are more people coming to realize it and in the long run it will bear fruit. There is no "we are not biased" claims that anybody with a brain is going to accept anymore from the leftist media. They have been outed for good, they have threw all and any credibility(they had none to begin with) to the wind backing the Marxist now in the Whitehouse. So thats how they roll, anything to keep their Jesus and his cohorts in power at any and all costs, and gives new meaning to "lapdogs".
Seek| 12.1.11 @ 3:49PM
Che "worshipped" in Hollywood? That's a bit extreme considering that Stephen Soderburgh/Benicio Del Toro couldn't even get studio funding for their movie on Che of a few years ago. They had to go outside.
TGC| 12.1.11 @ 4:03PM

" Where ' progressives' came from " I think is the articles title , but in great detail it describes the coming and occupation of the Oval office by Woodrow Wilson and the press who worshipped him and his ideals . That's era and mindset is where the New Republic was born . Others naturally followed . But what we have today are no less idealogues than their ancestors - pure rock-solid socialists ' who really did have Mussonlini hanging on their walls . Now how to get rid of such an annoyance / threat that's been around for so long could concievably only be answered by God . But at least they're fully exposed now .

As I said in the Barney Frank piece by RET, and to answer your last question, since the Left have lived in their cocooned bubble world for decades, it's easy for them to assign all plaudits to themselves and their way of thinking.
In their world, leftist assumptions are by their very existence correct and can never be challenged, hence, the hateful vitriolic comments about conservatives.
Now that the alternative media has begun to make serious dents in leftist hegemony, these folks have become even more vile and irrational.
OWS is just the manifestation of the great unraveling, and it's going to get a lot worse.

You and the other 'dated' folks here, are now relegated to the past, where you should remain until you come up with a viable alternative. Doesn't look like that will be happening anytime soon, does it?
And as you continue to get your news on Fox, the majority of people are getting the real story on the other networks. Much as the real story might not fit your ideals, or the people that want to better the country, not ruin it.

I can't resist.
This is from the archives in a Jeffrey Lord article, where I was ridiculing a typical liberal, who was whining about Rupert Murdoch's media entities being so biased.
Machiavelli has always just been too timid for my tastes.
"Are you serious? Mr. Tabloid Murdoch himself promotes salacious, prurient sensationalism as news and you defend this turd? Whether it's dirty tricks in the U.S. associated with Fixed News or actual law-breaking in Britain, the Murdoch Empire is teetering. I know they say want you want to hear, but they intersperse so much misinformation and downright lies, I find it amazing you never check up on their facts and find out the truth and bare the propaganda for what it is."
(Purpleguy | 7.12.11 @ 11:07AM)
"Stupledupe,
Look at this salacious prurient sensationalism I found on a Murdoch owned entity today.
"Can we just enjoy Obama for a moment? Before the policy choices have to be weighed and the hard decisions have to be made, can we just take a month or two to comtemplate him the way we might comtemplate a painting by Vermeer or a guitar lick by the early-seventies Rolling Stones or a Peyton Manning pass or any other astounding, ecstatic human achievement? Because twenty years from now, we're going to look back on this time as a glorious idyll in American politics, with a confident, intelligent, fascinating president riding the surge of his prodigious talents from triumph to triumph. Whatever happens this fall or next, the summer of 2011 is the summer of Obama.""

YOU! Quin!
You have become the "stupid" over these last weeks!
a copy paste in case you haven't seen it...
What Are You Thinking,
Governor Perry is "soldiering on" despite being labeled a dunce, and ridiculed...(or ignored)...on my former favorite web forum here.
I think..."how in the hell do you ignore the ONE solid conservative with a PROVEN track record?
" How in the hell do you ignore and/or ridicule the Governor of the only successful State government in the nation?"
Well, TAS has managed to do so, and it embarrases me for you.
I guess our country is doomed to stupid. (Can any of you even imgine Mitt admitting "he stepped in it"?)
In my mind, a little humility goes a long way in a President.
Kiss my arse, Quin! Screw your poll!
Liz| 12.2.11 @ 1:18PM
Darlin', I understand your love for Texas, but PLEASE! Perry successful? The success you tout is built on the shifting sands of counting prisoners as part of the general "work force", gutting the education system, destroying the government infrastructure and attacking women/children in general by gutting the systems designed to help them.
Texas is only "successful" in your world, but not to the rest of the world.
Wayne| 12.4.11 @ 9:41AM
"attacking women/children ..."? A bit over the top don't you think? Sounds like typical left-wing smear.

I was not even a Cain supporter, yet I am very disappointed in how quickly these writers through Cain under the bus. Cain was hit with Chicago political tactics and they were too vested in their own candidates to see what was happening.

The MSM has caved and become the mouthpiece for Obama and socialistic ideals and principles. They have sold out their country. In order for the elites to accomplish their 'wet dream' of a NWO, America has to be subverted from within to enable a transition to a communist/socialist nation. The elites need America to come on line and join the world. How many times has it been said that we live in a 'global economy' now. Everything is about the state and globalism. Meaning, say goodbye to your time-honored, sovereignty. There is no such thing as a Constitution or Bill of Rights, or individual free doms if you want to be a citizen of the world.
You cannot achieve a world govt. without ALL the countries of the world giving up their individual sovereignties. This is the master plan for world global govt. The elite communists are seeking world domination and seem to be well on their way. The elites have masterminded the destruction of all the economies of the world. This is their moment in the spotlight, so to speak. They can smell it, taste it and almost touch it. Their wet dream of global domination is at hand! They are exuberant and in wringing hand fashion, are waiting for the final death knell to come upon America. As long as America remains a free and sovereign state, their wet dream cannot become a reality.
