Here is an excellent article explaining American distrust of the MSM by Eric Anderson.

Yep, right-wing media lying should be discussed as well...

From a website of "Powerful Conservative Voices." Do you think this opinion piece might be biased??

Hmm, I'm a fast reader and it's a long article and there is no way you read it in a minute which means Democratic ops are running around shooting first and aiming later. Like their boss.

The article is from RedState. It would be like posting an article from StormFront and expecting someone to take it seriously as a factual source on race relations.

It's a very good article. The Hitchcock analogy is interesting but I'm not so sure that it's accurate. I think what has happened of late is not so much that the media has been exposed and had to change tack. It's more they have dutifully tried to carry this admin's water, but this admin has been so failure-prone, and the bucket became so heavy, that they had no choice but to drop the bucket, or at least let a lot of water slosh over the side. For example, not even this MSM could prop up the notion that Obama held his own in the debate, as I'm sure the admin would have liked.

After the election, no matter who wins, it will be back to business as usual.

When you can't argue the message, shoot the messenger.

Fox News likes to mention it's the highest rated cable news network. Limbaugh bellows about being the biggest name in talk radio. Then both go on to slag on "mainstream media" and their followers swallow it like chicken noodle soup.

I read the article and it was definitely biased, as one would expect from a conservative website.

Not to be taken seriously, except by those who agree with the author's POV.
