Trucks Encircle ABC, CBS, NBC, Challenge ‘Liberal’ Media to ‘Tell The Truth’

I'll bet this ends before the 4 weeks is up. They'll probably get an injunction stopping them for harrassment or something. I personally am glad to see them doing this......although I don't think it will affect whether we get the truth or not.......the different news agencies are all in the WH's pocket anyways.......but we can always hope. I don't think the 12 trucks in D.C. will last more than a week, I'm sure Obama already has issued the orders.

"L. Brent Bozell III, president of the Media Research Center (MRC), the parent organization of CNSNews.com, said the goal of this 2010 “Tell the Truth!” campaign “is simple: to force the liberals in the media to stop pushing an agenda and just tell the truth.”

The “liberal media news networks” need to report the facts about “massive growth in government and its control over our lives, and about spending, deficits and debt,” he told CNSNews.com. “They also need to tell the truth about the efforts to turn our country into a European-style Socialist state.”

this is a really interesting turn of events and it is nice to see but nothing will come of this im afraid to say...

get ready for the people who will start screaming that this should be done to foxnews as well.


i enjoyed that article its nice to see people wake up to the liberal bias but ultimately " a zebra cant change its stripes"..


great find tho

Sounds like more of the same partisan junk that has infested America. Are they going to do the same to Fox? Not likely. Must be an election year. :shk:

It is about time that people call out the criminals, FROM BOTH SIDES.

We cannot point the finger at one side without calling out the faults of the other, hypocrisy is not a loved quality. When they begin to encircle FOX News for its Conservative spin and its manipulation of the truth I shall salute these brave men and women.

But until that time it is mere hypocrisy.

You could hardly circle Fox and complaign about liberal media bias.................it just wouldn't work.
I agree neither side tells us the complete truth, but this isn't about the right, it's about liberal media bias........I still wonder when this will get shut down.

Anyone missing the Fairness Doctrine? If it was still in place things like this wouldn't even get the time of day.

I'm definitely not a socialist (more Conservative) but it makes me laugh every time I see a Republican retiree protesting against the potential socialist state.

What do they think gave them the right to retire? SOCIALIST policies!

If we were all still living under true Conservative Capitalism, everyone would work until the day that they died, and if they didn't work, wouldn't eat. Wages would be low, savings and investments would definitely be out of reach of the average person. Every single person protesting the socialist state would either be dead, at work, or living off their relatives rather than protesting.

The last time there was true capitalism anywhere on the planet it was called the Industrial Revolution. I don't know about you, but I definitely don't want to go back to that.

I like my 40 hour work week, weekends off, vacation time, welfare state to fall back on in emergency, and a decent wage. These are ALL the results of SOCIALIST policies.

How about you?

If it was up to true capitalism, we would still be working 12 - 14 hour days, seven days a week, 365 days a year, for pennies an hour to spend in a company store.

Oh no, the news media is fighting..

I think people that dwell on their news sources are morons.. I fully do. Fox is biased, CBS, MSNBC is biased.. Um isn't that a fact of life?

reply to post by babybunnies


what do they think they have the right to retire? because the majority of those old republicans actually worked all of their lives they actually have a pension to live off of and to have that pension means they at least had a job

unlike the majority of people who consider social security as retirement and who have never worked a day in there lives and got it for free....

and last time i check getting something for nothing is socialist.

your 40 hour work week and weekends off and your vacation time means exactly this : that is a good as your life will ever get because you will not ever do anything to ever change that fact you will sit there and expect someone else to give you everything your little heart desires.....

and agian thats clearly another socialist tendency.

true capitalism does exist in this country for the simple fact there are millions of american who are still working 12-14 hours a days and 365 days a year and dont expect anyone else to give them squat.

and then aigan thats clearly not a socialist tendency either.

meh..............end rant

What about unemployment benefits? Is that socialist? People that have worked many years and then have no recourse for their families other than to take UI? No matter what their political leanings.

reply to post by intrepid


yeah i call that socialist too:

pay people not to work pay taxpayer money to people who are not creating any taxpayer dollars..................in a word its the most stupid idea there has ever been.


in all of my entire working adult life i have never NOT ONCE taken a dime of unemployment benefits

when i didnt have a job what did i do????? I LOOKED until i found one.

I do not miss the fairness doctrine, at all. Is there bias in the media? Most definitely. But there always has been bias. Take a look at the Yellow Journalism and the push for the Cuban War. (Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders up San Juan Hill for the non-history majors). The expose articles on Boss Tweed. All bias, and frankly not much different than today's well written blog site.

Freedom of the Press is an individual freedom, as is every Right in the Bill of Rights. The right to commit to paper your opinions. It is a muddied mantra of the editors and publishers of newspapers and television that assert as corporate/industry right.

The harsh reality, fairness doctrine or not, what is published is the approved opinions of the owners and editors. And that is the way that it is. Without the fairness doctrine, at least the media is somewhat honest about their opinions without the "gotcha" presentations of the opposition as balance.

edit on 5-10-2010 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

You're right. It IS socialist. I hope your kids didn't starve while you looked for that job. People go on "Socialist this, socialist that" but when it comes down to it those programs are in place for when things get bad. Btw, you pay taxes on UI benefits as well.

reply to post by intrepid


those programs are in place to make people lazy and to enslave them

why work why do anytihng at all when you can sit on your couch and draw a check for nothing.

just because i pay taxes doesnt mean i have to take them and take from someone else who needs them more than i do.....

but then aigan another socialist tendency is selfishness its always about me and no thought to anyone else.....


meh.........

I don't think that this is covered by the FD. It didn't come into effect until 1949. I think Uncle Teddy was dead by then.

All well and good until the media becomes an arm of the gov't, like it is today. Dividing people and setting fear, not as sometimes thing but as a staple.

They're honest? I beg to differ. Transparent to the aware but hardly "honest." And how many are aware? I have NO problem with mandating that the TRUTH be told.

The liberal media bias WAS once true, but no longer. The pendulum has totally swung towards a rampantly conservative bias. FOX dominates. Murdock also owns (and now slants) the Wall Street Journal. He owns the New York Post. Local news (still watched by more people than national news) tends to be center right. The liberal media, such as the NYT (which is debatable calling it totally liberal) is a dying entity. MSNBC has several conservatives on staff, especially in the morning. Shultz is a name-calling idiot no better than the FOX bombasts, so he has no cred. Obermann can be over the top (but I do enjoy his intellectualism -- he is clearly smarter than the natterheads on FOX, save Shep Smith), but Maddow is pretty damned factual if you actually watch her and he interviews are fair and she does not interrupt like a Hannity or O'Reilly. CNN is paralizingly nothing -- not liberal or conservative and too darned impotent and scared to point out lies when they come across them. And let's not even talk about radio.

Today, in 2010, the media is won on the hard right (and horribly hyperbolic), it is no longer a "liberal media bias" world.

I'd have to disagree based upon the last election....................
Seems to me that without the liberal media, Obama would be back in Chicago where he belongs...........

Oh gorram it. Why does this have to be another conservative vs. liberal boondoggle?

The media lies. The media lies from, to, and on both sides. It does not have an inherent bias except to strike a balance between pleasing and frightening us that keeps us from doing anything. It's not a liberal agenda, it's not a conservative agenda. It's a media agenda. They keep us hooked so that we keep watching, and mollified so we don't do anything that's going to mess up their precious programming. Of course, it's probably done for more than just entertainment through the media; it's probably social control on other levels too. But it's definitely on the entertainment level.

Dont' tell the liberal media to stop lying. Don't tell the rightwing media to stop lying.

Tell THE MEDIA to stop lying.
