That is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time, MOST "conservatives" will follow Rush and his ilk lock step without the slightest investigation.
Oh you poor delusional fool, conservatives may listen to Rush, etc. but they don't necessarily follow what he has to say, as opposed to you liberal "Bobble Heads" that nod up an down at everything and anything that your leaders say. But once you've been brainwashed (and are braindead) you become a loyal follower. That's just the way it is, you can't think for yourselves.
Ah,that's where you're wrong- conservatives don't have "Masters", they think for themselves unlike liberals that follow whatever their leaders want. Liberals are the ones that claim everyone is a victim .
Is that why conservatives only have a few leaders to lok up to and crowd around one specific network for their politics and liberals are very decentralized in this aspect? Sorry, but reality and your assertion are not computing. Reagan's 11th commandment? That is not something free thinkers would say. That is follow the leader
You are forgotten or you may want to, the idiots Like Chris Matheson and one of my favorites Rachael the angry Woman Maddow.
The problem is Libs only want their voice heard , no else. They have the majority of the news outlets and the papers around the country.
So what if we choose where we want to get our information.
Did you see Debbie Shultz on the C-span this morning? Totally without reality on the President's state of the Union!
I am trying to remember this correctly,?
Debbie is making noise now, "Despite what the majority of polls the American's prefer a Dem lead Country and President Obama is a brave man going up against the position of the Rep"
This whole "us Vs them, makers Vs takers, were the victims they're the powerful oppressors who control the media" etc.
Uh-huh......

A couple of things of note on this clip. Notice that even Clinton points out the inane banality of US media and why it isn't helping the US government win the war of minds abroad, because our media is now so idiotic that even the third world countries shake their heads at its level of stupidity.
In light of numerous recent admissions where places like the NY Times, Washington Post and most of the majors have 'curtailed programming at the request of the White House', such as the spy still being held in Pakistan and other like stories, the media is already 'government friendly' in its message to the American citizen, in other words, propaganda. Now it seeks billions of dollars in State Department funding to spread the gospel of America BS to the rest of the world.
...see if you can formulate a cogent response without dodging and deflecting.
Because, if you can't, you know, formulate a cogent response without dodging and deflecting then your thread is dead.

We have many independent thinkers who are very much in tune with the powers of the US Const and separation of the Branches of Gov. Our leadership thus far has forced the Dem's and the President to reduce spending and has placed a firm check to some what balance the power that Gov. holds.
Shutting down the Gov. was a good thing. It forced every think about a unsupported Obama care!
Remember your guy sits in the White house and Harry Reid refuses to do the business of the people to even get closed to a right size budget and to grow this country.
So Americans can back to work in real jobs. Not Taco Bell!
Who has been pushing for Keystone, not the President or the Dems! Instead job in enhancer !
Don't roughly 70% of Republicans actually admit they trust Fox News?
I saw that poll recently; what it asked was which network do you trust more than the others, not whether you trusted or distrusted such and such a network. If you asked Republicans the latter question it's certain Fox would come in ahead, but the percentage would be a lot lower than 70%; if I had to venture a guess I'd say 40% of Republicans would say they trusted Fox to give them the truth about what's happening.
Besides, Fox is more objective than other networks which often refuse to cover or try to bury under the rug stories that are unflattering to the regime. When you have ABC, CNN, and company running "stories" like this that are nothing more than fluff pieces designed to make those in power look good, and Meet the Press "debates" on the NSA that present those who want to change the way our privacy is violated as the pro-civil liberties side (as opposed to those who, like a majority of the American public, oppose violating our privacy to begin with), something is definitely wrong. Other examples include MSNBC hiring an "anchor" who has vowed to never criticize Obama about anything*; networks in general trying to portray Snowden as just a "high school dropout", a traitor who "sold secrets", or a clueless kid without any supporting evidence whatsoever; multiple media networks and anchors pushing the drive to "do something" after Newtown; multiple "interviewers" trying to get Ted Cruz to confess that he was "responsible for the shutdown", coupled with burying Harry Reid's obstructionism and the crazy Democratic comments during the shutdown. Tied to this is the media spreading the myth that not raising the debt ceiling must trigger a default; Democrats are never questioned about their opposition to the Full Faith and Credit Act, but Republicans are questioned on a daily basis about immigration reform.
Fox News is not immune to this well-documented disease of White House bootlicking, but they have a much milder case of it than CNN and (particularly) MSNBC, which is the most probable explanation for their increased advantage in TV ratings relative to other networks. Fox suffered from this disease severely when Bush was in the White House, but after 6 years they have recovered.
Also, I don't see why some liberals believe so fervently in the meme that Fox News is propaganda or not real news. If you want to see propaganda, hit pieces, and unyielding loyalty to one man or one party, MSNBC is where it's at, not Fox. When was the last time you saw something like this on Fox News being presented as hard news?** When was the last time you saw Fox use a tagline like "Father of the Fringe" to describe, say, Dennis Kucinich as MSNBC did to describe Ron Paul?
*And he's doing this for no other reason than Obama is black. If you thought Rand Paul and the Republicans have a problem with racism, the ugly stuff across the aisle makes that look like small potatoes.
**That would be a MSNBC hit piece attempting to connect racism, conspiracy theories, opposition to Obamacare, libertarianism, and the Boston bombings into some sort of sinister evil force. It's no coincidence that this hit piece targets the hated enemies of the Obama Administration.
Victims? That is what liberals say everyday trying to get someone else to pay for what inequity they see constantly. But wealth sharing is what they have made their self victims of because its always the bottom no matter the amount.
I think white males have been under attack for over 40 years. It goes back to Nixon and his afirmative action plans. Then toss in the colleges and their push for anyone but the white guy to get into college. The never ending lie about the gap in wages between women and men. Leading economics like Robert Reich came out and said jobs should be given to anyone but white males.
You would think that they're scared of the so called "liberals". Like the way they talk about people on the left has always been fascinating to me, almost like they're referring to the boogey man or something lol.
This whole "us Vs them, makers Vs takers, were the victims they're the powerful oppressors who control the media" etc. The funny thing is most of these people making these claims are well off white dudes. The last group of people on the planet who should ever be complaining about being a victim
It's like they think they're the nerds, but they really are the jocks

That's because you are totalitarian extremists.
