We in the UK have the BBC around our respective necks. We have to have an expensive TV licence, the money for which is handed to the BBC. It is a criminal offence have a TV without the BBC licence, even though you never, ever go near that hotbed of Leftist propaganda. They are the world's worst Leftist-operated propaganda machine.<br />Thanks for the blog, I'm now a regular visitor.<br />Steveselsey.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531315051208210724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970071813477046910.post-59164397813546695352017-02-07T09:47:59.645-06:002017-02-07T09:47:59.645-06:00Uncle, I dated a girl from Madison back in college...Uncle, I dated a girl from Madison back in college. Maybe she was one of the conservative ones as she never gave me an ear lashing over the door holding thing. Never been there myself. So, I expect your assessment is more accurate than my sample size of one former girlfriend from almost 30 years ago.

You are anything but poor when you can put together a cogent dissenting argument; and, if this is you being a grouch, I want to see your happy side. <br /><br />As for your comments, first let me say that I am a big H.L. Mencken fan. There was a man who could WRITE! His pen was SHARP indeed. The quality of reporter inhabiting today's newsrooms are hapless monkeys banging on typewriters attempting to get lucky and randomly fling Shakespeare instead of reprocessed banana. <br /><br />To be clear, I have no objection to a point of view as long as it is clearly labeled as such. I don't listen to a talk show host looking for news. I listen for a hopefully differing opinion that challenges my way of thinking. However, I don't need my local newspaper or evening news show giving me doublespeak as truth. <br /><br />I don't care if it's CNN or FOX, calling a riot a protest is wrong. Calling an illegal alien an immigrant or an undocumented worker is wrong. You can have your opinion all you like, just don't try to change the facts. <br /><br />Thanks again for the comment. Come back anytime.

It's my first time here, ...I'ma poor guest. It's my first time here, and I'm gonna be a grouch.<br /><br />The idea that media neutrality is POSSIBLE is one of the biggest impositions the Political Left ever managed to put over on the American Public. Go back and read Mecken or the other reporters of the early part of the 20th Century. They had a Point of View and everybody knew it.<br /><br />I don't know the details, but my impression is that the idea of Unbiased Reporting came in as the Hearst Papers were taking their rattling last breaths. The Hearst Papers got really, REALLY right-wing-weird in their latter years (yes, I know some of them still exist. Technically. They aren't really Hearstpapers anymore), as in 'The John Birch Society is a bunch of Communist Front Pinkos weird. It gave the Leftwing media room to pretend that their brand of Liberal Left politics was 'balanced'. <br /><br />For all of my adult life, stretching back to my mid teens in the 1970's, I have read and listened to the Political Right whine about Media Bias.<br /><br />Please, please, PLEASE stop buying into the myth. There is no such thing as unbiased media. There is media that agrees with ones bias, and everybody else. Fox News shouldn't be "We Report, You Decide" but "You Know Their Side, Here's Ours".C. S. P.

Sadly, I am ...Pigpen, thank you for the kind words. Sadly, I am unfamiliar with Mr. Vanderboegh's work (an oversight it seems I must now correct), but I have at least heard the name. Any positive association with his legacy is high praise. <br /><br />You are correct that the rumors of the media's death are greatly exaggerated; but, like a wounded animal, they can be quite vicious when cornered. All of them have been feeling the heat from the competition brought on by the digital age, especially traditional print media.<br /><br />Perhaps I am more of a pessimist than you as I do not share your sentiment that there is hope for their survival.<br /><br />As for one network or even one person stepping in to fill the void, here again I am less than optimistic. Media has dropped any pretense of impartiality they once had in favor of thinly veiled or even outright, bold propoganda for their chosen side or agenda. For someone to come in and overcome that trend and the resultant distrust, is a steep hill to climb.

He informed enough of the patriots in the country that never again will things be able to be swept under the rug by any government without someone seeing them. As for the media, like Mark Twain, the rumors of their death might be greatly exaggerated. Sick, and in need of care, yes. But I think that there is still hope for them, because there such a huge opening for the one network, hell, the one person, who merely has to step up, and just report the news, instead of giving us their opinion on it, and then telling us how to feel about it and even what to think about it. When that network or individual figures it out, the public will flock to them like ants to a picnic. And the rest of the media won't be far behind, because nothing breeds imitators like success.pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01036907880805485560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970071813477046910.post-6058556176465272912017-02-03T01:48:22.086-06:002017-02-03T01:48:22.086-06:00Skybill, thank you.
