Who controls the media? A bunch of liberals, that´s who. Which big corporations were behind that? No, what matters is their ideology, culture, their self-image, sense of status, herd mentality.

Before you said, “politicans run the country.” Now you’re saying it’s “a bunch of liberals”. Hmm. Look, uh, there is no doubt that liberalism is pushing us to be tolerant of all sorts of immoral behavior and the press is deliberately trying to help Democrats and it’s wrong. I agree. But, there are a handful of corporations who have a monopoly on all the information American citizens hear, see, and watch, and whether or not they are “liberal” was not the original point I was making, nor was it what you originally objected too either. As I pointed out before, who gets elected to political office is determined by the information available to voters. If the corporate media heads don’t like your politics you get less coverage or ignored completely. But, it’s deeper and more complicated than just involvement from the media. The Democrats and Republicans have become beholden to rich individuals, large corporations or powerful interest groups, through large campaign contributions. And there are other things we could get into like the big oil companies and there influence on our the direction of our culture. Like I said, “corporations largely control the country”. Rich individuals who own large corporations — not the politicians — not the ones in office now anyways. That’s why so many American people sense something is wrong. Americans know that we’re going in the wrong direction.

Who controls the media? A bunch of liberals, that´s who. They decided in 2000 that the Bush presidency would fail and they decided that the Obama presidency will be a success no matter what happens. Which big corporations were behind that? No, what matters is their ideology, culture, their self-image, sense of status, herd mentality. They are pushing big government by inventing one crisis after the other. Panic is good for journalists and politicians. Politicans start making politicized business decisions and picking winners. That is how they end up in bed with big corporations: by tampering with free markets. That´s how you get subsidized windmills and ethanol but no drilling or nuclear power plants. It´s a racket, but it´s a liberal political racket.

apocalys, very witty. Just like “corporations control the country”. Never heard that one before. No, politicans run the country.

This is only one example of what I’m talking about. I think you would agree that who gets elected to political office is determined by the information available to voters. Well, who controls American Media? The corporations or the politicians? Answer: A handful of giant corporations control American Media. The information we are fed on a daily basis is being controlled by persons whom we do not know. They decide what America sees, hears, and reads. A threat to our freedoms and quality of life. Think about it.

Arianna has enough accent for space man Kos; Ann does exaggerate once in a while for effect, big whoop.

Which is exactly what your average conservative radio host is saying. If these radio hosts are part of the GOP establishment why do they spend so much time attacking the establishment? I guess you never heard that.

Rush, Hannity, Levin, Ingraham and the rest of the gang all travel and live together…

They might as well. Would greatly reduce their communications costs and risks.

Savage can’t hold a candle to Levin.

Rush, Hannity, Levin, Ingraham and the rest of the gang all travel and live together and have their own secret lingo, just like rock bands do. Like the Beatles in Help!

Love that woman!!

HotAir has the other videos.
……

And they are very lame compared to Savage. He has even gone as far to work to start a THIRD PARTY that he has referred to as the Nationalist Party which has as its core values BORDERS, LANGUAGE, CULTURE.

So, don’t even think of lumping in a genius like Savage with these lame brains who do their own GOP talking points water carrying shows.

How to tell when an Ass Hat is in your midst. They post a fifty line diatribe and never answer any of the challenges. Eat it Dork Boy.

Wow. How rude. Did it ever occur to you that there are times when I am unable to respond for mechanical, rest, or personal reasons?

I wear it proudly, and I wear it more proudly knowing I’m in the minority amongst my people here in the States, many of whom have the best intentions, but are stuck in the 60’s politically.

AlexK on January 17, 2009 at 9:30 PM

I hear you there, very loudly, btu I am still practicing.

I think so. I agree with someone’s comment about the 95 yard drive only to fumble at the goal line. My favorite conservative and libertarian pundits rely on their intellect and linguistic talent to drive their point home, rather than drop the bar and use names and generalizations. Trust me, I want to drop them all the time, but I end up hitting backspace and see if I can overcome my adversary, not just with a more salient point, but one using better vocabulary and grammar.

FierceGuppy,

I do agree. I do. It’s a guilty pleasure. But if I go there, I’d rather go all the way, into Savage Country.

I’m not religious though, like AP and Ayn, except I didn’t throw away my Joo identity. I wear it proudly, and I wear it more proudly knowing I’m in the minority amongst my people here in the States, many of whom have the best intentions, but are stuck in the 60′s politically.

Because it ceased being an argument when people immediately called me a slew of names fordaring to question these two.

That was a hit job too. No one is saying it is not, you repeatedly make the faulty assumption that people who dont like the harpie and the fat man think that the liberal tank media is ok.

Squid Shark on January 17, 2009 at 10:21 AM

How does calling Rush ‘fat man’ and Ann C ‘the harpie’ advance your argument?

Again she is very damaging to the GOP.

Johan Klaus on January 17, 2009 at 5:30 PM

No, and I dont know what I said which would make you think I did.

I seem to recall that Obama won without being “in your face” as well.

Squid Shark on January 17, 2009 at 10:16 AM

With a little help from the press. By the way, did you vote for Obama?
