Almost One in Five Still Believes MSM

Here's a surprise: According to a national poll by Sacred Heart University, 19.6% of Americans still believe most or all news media reporting. Look for this number to drop into the low single digits when it becomes common knowledge that the ballyhooed global warming crisis is a baseless hoax.

The poll found that 87.6% are aware the news media attempts to manipulate public opinion, and 86% have noticed it tries to influence government policy. The rest apparently don't watch the news.

On a tip from baldeagle390.

Just wait until the public finds out that the war on "Islamofascism" is a hoax.

But they'll all probably be too busy watching American idol to notice that the Prez has been sellling massive amounts of weapons to the Saudis while begging them to increase oil production for our consumption.

The world trade center is still standing, there are no muslim terrorist bombings anywhere and Santa Claus is in danger because the polar ice caps are melting.

Yes indeed, there is no Muslim terrorism or terrorists. Anything to the contrary is just propaganda by the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

As for weapons being sold to the Saudis - wont matter much as the Saudis suck at fighting (some are good at terrorism but thats it). The only battle in the first Gulf War and the Saudis fled like scared children while the US military took their place and wiped out Saddams troops in the area. So even if they have our weapons (usually a generation of 2 out of date so we know how to defeat them) it wont matter what they do with them. Israel could wipe out the Saudi military in less than a day if they wanted to. Faster if they nuked them.

I didn't say that their weren't Muslim terrorists. I said that the war on "islamofascism" was a con.

"As for weapons being sold to the Saudis - wont matter much as the Saudis suck at fighting (some are good at terrorism but thats it). "

But our premise has never been that we are fighting any specific Islamic nation, but that we are fighting terrorism. Precisely, what the Saudi's seeem to be good at, as you claim. Funding the Saudi's IS funding terrorism....Isn't that where all the 911 bombers came from? America has never had a problem funding terrorists...

Um, and what do the Muslim terrorists want to install? Liberal Democracy? I don't think so.

So, we have Muslims, who are terrorists, and their goal is to replace democratic regimes with those in which Muslims have absolute control over every aspect of personal, economic, and religious life. But don't call them fascists!

(Shakes head, marvels at leftist stupidity dressed up as sophistry.)

Terrorism isn't a philosophy, it's a weapon. And the dirty secret of terrorism is that it works. The only reason the Palestinians have a (dysfunctional, corrupt, murderously brutal) state is because the West caved to terrorism. The main reason Hollywood doesn't dare say anything bad about Islamic terrorists is because they are afraid of them.

Nineteen percent believe in the MSM? That's below the UFO-Elvis line!

Just wait till HILLARY wins (hopefully not) then 100% of the American people will believe the MSM, and if we don't we will be sent to re-education camps till we do.

What makes PROPIGANDA such an effective weapon is the fact that it's victims (Such as yourself) are so EAGER to spread it!

The ones that tell you they are not "MSM" are sometimes have the most "MSM values" of all!

Think about it. Some of the biggest blogs have circulations higher than major, respected newspapers.

Look at Rush Limbaugh. He whines incessantly about the "MSM", but there is no neocon talk-show host that is syndicated on more stations nationwide.

Now if only reporters in the field were members of your NeoCon Conspiracy!!!

An MSNBC study of "143 journalists who made political contributions from 2004 through the start of the 2008 campaign, according to the public records of the Federal Election Commission. Most of the newsroom checkbooks leaned to the left: 125 journalists gave to Democrats and liberal causes. Only 16 gave to Republicans. Two gave to both parties."

Typical!!!
