Why anyone, would watch the big three networks for credible news, is beyond me. It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so obvious. The love and empathy the Marxist media has for Obama is way too rich for me to watch. Even for reference to use here I cannot stomach them. They are as predictable as lunar cycles and I could no more listen to them lie than I could to a screaming infant in a movie theater. No matter how Obama performs, and no matter what shape the country is in, they are right there cheerleading the hard left anti-American team. I want all of them to fail like they so wonderfully are. The entire purpose of journalism is to report, not to drive a story or an ideology. Journalism is supposed to be looking out for us, not sleeping with the enemy. Journalists are human and will personally support whomever they like off duty, but for entire news organizations to be propaganda arms of a political party in a free society is suicidal. Their credibility rides on objective reporting. When you lose your credibility as a journalist you are done.

     One man who is the poster child for credibility lost is Dan Rather. Dan Rather was the man that replaced Walter Cronkite. CBS News in its heyday was the most powerful news organization in the world. That all ended just before the November 2004 election. It was then that our hero Dan Rather tried to singlehandedly sway the electorate with a story that was proven to be a fabrication. The fact that the story was a fake was bad enough, but for this to come from a man that had for years had the attention and trust of millions of Americans is shocking. It shows the absolute depths of narcissism and hubris that journalists like Rather and organizations like CBS News have descended. 

     This of course goes back to the fact that I have been pointing out for my entire adult life. Leftists are like Al-Quaida in that they care about nothing aside from advancing their agenda. The means are always justified by the end result. They will lie, cheat, steal, commit perjury, suborn perjury, and sacrifice anyone or anything. Until ever America-loving American realizes this we are in danger of losing everything. Our job of informing them and exposing the cancer that is leftist journalism is not done. Committed leftist journalists are dangerous to this country and must be exposed. It has gotten so bad that in order to even hear a "conservative" opinion, an entire network, FOXNews, had to be created. Rush Limbaugh created an entire industry in AM talk radio when President Reagan in the 80's discarded the FDR progressive era "fairness doctrine" that had for years been a way for leftists to suppress opposition on the radio. You know its bad when everyone knows the "National Enquirer" deserved the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism by exposing the John Edwards "love child" story that the leftist "main stream" journalists refused to.

     I love leftist ex-CNN owner Ted Turner's comment when he heard about the creation of FOXNews, that CNN would crush them like an "ant". It sounds funny now considering FOXNews' domination of the news business, but at the time CNN was the only cable news network. Now they are rightfully and thankfully, nothing but a shell of their former selves. The counter attack against these parasitic journalists and their formerly glorious, big named host platforms is slow but steady and the effects are beginning to show. When leftist ideals are put up against traditional ideals in the free market, the leftists are crushed.

     Big named leftist newspapers are the first ones feeling the backlash, and are going out of business. The New York Times, the worst of the worst in my opinion, is going to continue in some form or another for a while until it runs out of rich leftist suitors. This life support is only possible because of the lingering, but quickly dissipating long past reputation and legacy of the name and the city it serves. The best thing that could happen to them would be a buy out by someone committed to seriously restoring the papers' reputation and credibility and discarding the leftist anti-American slant to everything they print. By contrast the Wall Street Journal is thriving by continuing to be a solid credible news source. The big three broadcast television news departments will also continue as long as the parent companies make money on entertainment divisions to supplement them. However, it is encouraging to note that their influence is nothing compared to what it used to be and that they are an overall drain on their parent companies which will sooner or later be corrected.

     I read yesterday that Newsmax had put in an offer to purchase Newsweek magazine. The Washington Post, another failing leftist newspaper is selling off the magazine that has been around for 40 years. Newsweek is another typical story of a once proud news source with a good reputation slowly infiltrated by more and more radical leftists. The result also typical, is near bankruptcy and a death spiral in subscription numbers. My first thoughts were questioning the wisdom of Newsmax wanting to throw good money away for a money pit that would most likely take years to recover. However, the more I thought about it, the more I thought about habits and human  nature. "What the heck are you talking about Michael?" Let me explain.

     Alot of people that buy magazines and newspapers do so out of habit. I buy the local newspaper, The Las Vegas Review-Journal, even though I do not agree with most of the commentary or hard news story political slants. I buy it out of habit and the lack of a better alternative. I believe that Newsmax will benefit in the long run by buying Newsweek and turning it around. There are plenty of doctors offices and hotels that will keep buying it. There are plenty of people that will continue to subscribe no matter what, solely because of the name. I see an opportunity in this to turn the tables on the leftists and to take down one of their ivory towers. Taking Newsweek from the leftists and returning it to credible news status would be a major triumph. It would also expose alot more people, out of habit, to solid credible news unblemished by leftists.

     I have written before about the insidious leftist infiltration of all of our institutions and sources of learning and knowledge. This is one we could put in the plus column if Newsmax acquires Newsweek. If not it is still a failing magazine that some other leftist is going to waste alot of money on. Media bias might be cliche but we are starting to eradicate the leftist disease that sickens our sources of news. Lets hope we win this battle because it means the future of everything we know and hold dear.
