Breaking news:

Off topic

Boycott CBS had it right.

Brokaw and jennings were just protecting their own in a dying Industry.

We know how to do our own research, without the abc networks, and we don't need them to spoon feed us their Biased views without all the facts.

Er your off topic Geraldo and you need to shave that flavor saver.

Off topic

Brokaw has lost his freaking mind if he thinks that standing in CBS' corner...and then calling those who seek the truth jihadists, is going to score any points, with anyone other than the most devout of lunatics.

What I think is highly inappropriate is what's going on across the MSM, a kind of political jihad to bring down President Bush.

Besides, we prefer the term

Pajamahadeen...

And if his staff had any credibility, he would have at least got that term correct....

Can's the alphabet networks get anything right...

Sheesh...

Maybe we'll see a redaction on tomorrow's show...

These guys have never understood Rush Limbaugh's ( who is not a journalist ) massive success versus other liberal talk radios failure. Liberal talk radio fails because they can just watch CBS news. Conservative talk radio fluorished because conservatives wanted something even if it was biased toward them.

FoxNews understands the vast niche of people who actually want fair news and I think they make a genuine toward being as fair as any reasonable person can expect.

I'm not certain if FoxNews appreciate's the significance of internet media. But I know that most other networks won't have any clue about either bias or the internet until its way to late for them.

They drank the Kool aid quite a while ago. I say within 5 years a whole lot of people will get significant amounts of news from sources other than the major national TV networks. And all the while they just won't get it. They just won't understand when some story they thought was silly or crazy is taken up by all sorts of people. They will dismiss stories against gun control as crazy because that is what they think etc. And one day they will wake up and see that people just aren't paying much attention to them anymore.

They won't go away. They will eventually catch up again I would think. They have too much money not to. But they won't be the arbiters of what's a story anymore.

This is a matter of years. Not months. Its been going on for years. This was the first big wake up call. It will take many more before they take off their asshats.

...and the band played on as they slowly sank beneath the waves. Their ship has hit the iceberg and they don't even know it.

Brokaw's comment really is an attack on freedom of speech. Regardless of whether one agrees with the criticisms of Rather, it should be celebrated as the sign of a free society, not berated as some sort of "political jihad."

Brokaw apparently is sad because people actually are thinking for themselves, instead of just accepting the dictates of the high priests of information.

I would also add that perhaps we need to boycott NBC News, and especially Brokaw. Let's subject him to some of this "political jihad."

Here is a graph of:

Evening News Ratings 1993-2003.

Hasn't CBS made it down below 5 recently?

These folks just don't realize how irrelevent they truly are becoming.

Some say Brokaw is retiring at the top...

Well, now with a Population Growth, and the above charts, looks like he's retiring at the bottom of his career, in my opinion.

And that I can agree with.

Tom, Dan, and Peter, you no longer matter, as you all took whatever credibility you used to have and shoved it into only one political corner. Then you got noticed, and the masses spoke with their remotes.

You lose, we win. Game. Set. & Match.

Tom who?

Another Thought:

I find your remarks about brokaw's statement paradoxical. How can a statement be an attack on free speech? If speech is free then whatever he says or you say is fair game.

It is certainly an attack, but its not on free speech. Its an artack on sites like INDC and Powerline and LGF etc. It an attack to paint them in a certain light. It doesn't say "You may not talk!", instead its says "You are not to be listened to!".

Just soak up the irony as we cease to listen to them.

We are witnessing skirmishes, gathering into battles, and melding into a revolution against the elite who seek to rule us through their tight fisted control of information. And we are taking up arms (or pens, or keyboards) to join the fight.

Should we be labeled “jihadists”? Possibly. “Patriots”? Yes. “Libertarians”? Most definitely.

The lawyers they send to silence us will find their heads upon the pikes of the First Amendment. The Brokaws and the Rathers and their ilk should hope to find themselves so fortunate.

(Note to said lawyers and future judges: this is all figurative. And I hate to have to add this note, but based on past displays of ignorance, I feel I have no choice.)

Mine is either Truth, sarcasm, or opinion as defined by California Laws, and Statutes and The Constitutions of The United States of America, and California.

Come and get me.....

Arrggghhhh..... In his best Howard Dean Imitation.

In the spirit of openess, I just posted the same comment I posted above over at Whizbang!. I hate to do that, but I just scrolled over there, read thier latest post, and it seemed so appropriate. Sorry.

If you don't like that, I've got a space for your head on a pike too. ARRGGHH!

Another skirmish in the war between the media elite and the rest of us. Here's my response to Nick Coleman, his rant in his column in the Star-Tribune was in the same vein.

As of right now, no response from Nick.

Dan made a mistake, so what, we all do. But how come i havent heared any of you refer to the fact that someone flew the "Binladens" out of the country after the FAA put out a ban on flights.

Um, because Markcus, that was Richard Clarke ... you know, your "hero" for his "truth telling" a few months ago?

We thought you knew about that ...

I mean, jeez, markcus, do try to keep up....

Richard Clarke... Gotcha

research is Your Friend.....

Q: How much of The Greatest Generation did Brokaw actually WRITE?
