She has never been taken to task for it and Republicans still go on her Sunday show. That's certainly not the most egregious example but it does set the tone. If the Republicans do not deal with the press, in some way as to force them to be more impartial, they may never win another national election. It's hard enough to defeat the Democrats, it's much harder when you have to do so through a press corps that is willing to overlook everything the Democrats do and distort you message to the point where its unrecognizable.

If that's the case, how does Tom Harkin keep getting re-elected? I could see Harkin getting elected, as a state representative, but to the Senate in a statewide election?????

Lugar is an incumbent and I'd be willing to bet he couldn't have survived if the press went after him like they did Christine O'Donnell. The sycophant press knew the Democrats were pretty close to losing the Senate so they went after all the tea-party candidates. Reid took Nevada by mustering all the union support he could, O'Donnell had day, after day, after day of attack in the press, from morning until the late shows. If Lugar has that going after him, he's a goner. He might be anyway and that's just fine. Let's face it, the policies are the same, whether h e's there or not.

We all know they would never have put this story out, had the candidate been a Democrat, let alone a black Democrat. I heard someone from Politico, on CNN Reliable Sources (what a funny name that is under the circumstances) justifying it by saying the 2 people were paid a severance after accusing Cain of sexual harrassment and that made it a story. I never cease to be amazed at how thin the sourcing of a story has to be against a Republican, for them to justify publishing it, and how they utterly avoid the Democrats. (can you say Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers and on and on). What I find really amazing is they don't even realize or understand the position they've put themselves in. Even if they begin to understand, I'm really not sure they are capable of doing what it would take, to earn the publics trust again.

I believe the press has made Sarah Palin stronger.

She's really the one we've been waiting for.

If the LSM would only do fair and balanced reporting, not slant it to one side or the other, just report what's going on from both sides, this would calm down. I don't believe any school teacher wants to be seen protesting, screaming obscenities and looking stupid, yet they don't have to worry about their local station showing them to the viewers, nor being the short clip on a national ABC broadcast. As soon as the action starts, between the taxpayers and the union thugs, the national press will try and make it a taxpayer problem. They are just so bad and so obvious.

They started with David Brinkley and now they have Christiane? I don't know how they didn't put Jake Tapper in there to be the permanent host, I guess they really didn't want someone in there who would ask good questions and get ratings, they'd rather have a lightweight that has a pretty accent. Oh well, you've got it ABC.

Marco Rubio, who was shown in the clip, didn't stutter at all when he said that, if he went to Washington D.C., he would work to repeal Obamacare. In a 3 way race, he still clobbered the competition, both of whom stated they liked Obamacare. So, does she think we elected Democrats who say one thing and do another? The liberal press keeps telling us what they believe this election was about, yet the more they say the more obvious it is they have no clue.

As the saying goes, "What part of "Congress shall make no law....:" don't you understand." It appears Ezra has drunk just a little too much of the liberal Kool-aid. To him, the Constitution is a living breathing document. Apparently, he's waiting for the next breath so it will read as if he'd written it.

Liberals have always been bad, it just seems they've gotten worse since January 2009. This is the sort of disgusting display that brings out the Conservative in independents.

After the Obama election, there aren't very many left outlets that have any credibility. If people are listening to Beck and Palin, they must have some credibility, especially with all uncomplementary articles being written about them, on a daily basis.

Any plan has to start at the top, which would have to happen in 2 places, our colleges and universities and the school boards. It has to happen within 4 years of each other because, if you can get the colleges away from teaching all of this liberal claptrap, you'll still have the school boards and the upper management in the school systems, only hiring the liberals. It is true the liberals have entrenched themselves into the education system and it's going to be a process to get them out.

We don't need laws about this stuff. There is only one reason to read any journalist, you believe they are reporting the news fairly and truthfully. Once a reporter, or a news organization for that matter, loses their integrity, they've lost it all because, in the end, that's all they have. There will always be a few people willing to read them because they blindly agree with them, but people looking to find out the truth behind the story, will never go to people like these guys. If you want to know the truth about something, and you had a choice between the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal, which one would you trust to present the story truthfully, no matter where the chips fell? If you said the Wall Street Journal, that should answer your question. So, we don't need RICO, we don't need laws, the law of supply and demand will take over and right now truth is in short supply.

We've allowed our schools to teach this stuff and I'm not sure how we change it without overhauling the whole system. The journalism professors, who were commenting on Journolist, should be fired, they have no integrity. That would be a start. Those journalists who favored government intervention at Fox News, should be fired, they have no concept of the 1st Amendment. That would be a start. Our children are being taught by the same closed minded individuals.
