Everyone knows that liberals own the news networks. They also own most of the entertainment industry, too, so pro-Obama bias has been creeping into our living rooms from far too many TV shows.Some broadcaster/journalists have actually been seen reading from prepared scripts sent out by left-wing propaganda sources. Now a well-respected research group has offered proof of the leftist bias being broadcast across the airwaves. This 2012 election year has been bringing the liberals to a state of euphoria in their attempts to reelect their Marxist/Socialist Democrat hero Barack Hussein Obama. It has also brought the same news media to the point of exhaustion in their non-stop attempts to cover up every bad story that tarnishes their hero's reputation. FOX News has this story.
Here is the letter from the Media Research Center and the link to the petition just issued by them. Please click this link to sign the petition. http://www.grassrootsaction.com/495/petition.asp?Ref_ID=17771&CID=495&RID=35627612The big three broadcast networks devoted dozens of stories last week to Mitt Romney's supposed "47 percent" gaffe but gave just a fraction of that air time to covering an audio tape of controversial remarks by President Obama, according to the Media Research Center.
The MRC examinedhow much total air time each story got last week and found coverage of the Romney remarks overpowered coverage of the Obama remarks by a 13-1 ratio.
The center found that ABC, CBS and NBC - on their evening and morning shows -- spent 88 minutes and 42 total stories on Romney. They spent six and a half minutes and eight stories on Obama.
Join Rush Limbaugh - Sign Brent Bozell's
Open Letter to the Media
This election year so much of the broadcast networks, their cable counterparts, and the major establishment print media are out of control with a deliberate and unmistakable leftist agenda.
There is a reason why the media are viewed with such disdain by the American public, as evidenced by every recent poll on the issue.
That's why it's vital for you to join the over twenty conservative leaders including Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, and Ed Meese III in signing MRC President Brent Bozell's open letter to the media calling them out for their deliberate and calculated attempts to rig the 2012 presidential election.
After you sign the letter, please chip in a tax-deductible donation so MRC can continue to expose and neutralize liberal media bias.The Letter States:
This election year, so much of the broadcast networks, their cable counterparts, and the major establishment print media are out of control with a deliberate and unmistakable leftist agenda. To put it bluntly: you are rigging this election and taking sides in order to pre-determine the outcome. In the quarter century since the Media Research Center was established to document liberal media bias, there has never been a more brazen and complete attempt by the liberal so-called "news" media to decide the outcome of an election.A free and balanced media are crucial to the health of this country. It is your duty as journalists - as outlined in the Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Ethics - to "distinguish between advocacy and news reporting," while simultaneously "seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues."There is a reason why the media are viewed with such disdain by the American public, as evidenced by every recent poll on the issue.You have breached the public trust by willfully turning a blind eye to the government's public policy failures, both domestic and foreign, while openly and shamefully smearing Gov. Mitt Romney. You are:
We the undersigned – representing millions of Americans from our respective organizations – are now publicly urging our members to seek out alternative sources of political news in order to make an intelligent, well-informed decision on November 6.
- Painting conservative ideas as extreme, while refusing to report the disastrous consequences of liberal programs enacted since 2008.
- Submerging the truly horrendous economic conditions America is facing and focusing only on minor political issues.
- Characterizing conservatives as cruel budget "slashers" instead of responsible officials trying to avoid a debt catastrophe.
- Focusing on alleged shortcomings in Romney's business record instead of Obama's record as the chief executive, whose policies contributed to a failed economy.
- Deliberately covering up embarrassing government failures and scandals, including the Solyndra debacle, Fast & Furious, and national security leaks which have put American lives in jeopardy.
- Pouncing on real and perceived missteps by conservatives, portraying them as bumbling incompetents, while suppressing embarrassing and incendiary remarks made by Vice President Joe Biden to prevent him from becoming a liability.
- Portraying conservative opposition to tax hikes as an impediment to deficit reduction while failing to highlight how liberal tax increase policies will cause massive damage to the economy and cause the deficit to explode.
- "Fact-checking" conservatives in order to discredit their arguments while regularly refusing to "fact-check" liberals who are distorting the truth.
It is time the American people turn you who are offending off, once and for all. You have betrayed their trust.
Sincerely,
L. Brent Bozell, III
