		<description>CNN edited out the part of Romney&#039;s secret video where he said &quot;they think they&#039;re entitled to food, healthcare, housing&quot; in their first report on the video. 

And for crying out loud has what those three done rivaled in any way the free ride and non-stop partisan support Fox News has given Romney?</description>

		<description>We have elections to decide these questions. We&#039;re having one in November, remember.  Picking leaders in a democracy is a science, the winner is decided by election, not by ideology or spin.  There actually is an objective criterion, not an Objectivist one.

After that, all the talk about the evil leftist media, the commie college profs, the Hollywood and Rock Star elites, and the 47% moocher and foodstamp hordes will be just talk.  

Face it TB, you&#039;re just scared that the Socialist, Kenyan, anti-colonialist, Makaka might be elected by a majority of the US people AGAIN.  You are terrified Obama will become the Democratic Reagan.

I&#039;ve got news for you.  It could be a lot worse than that. He might become the new FDR.  By the time his legacy fades into historical memory, there won&#039;t be enough angry old white men left to elect anybody. They will have all died, and their sons and daughters will have either turned gay, or married into a minority group.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I don&#039;t think you understand the message.&lt;/p&gt;

The editorial director of the &lt;em&gt;Huffington Post&lt;/em&gt; is the one pointing out that the media is giving Obama a free ride.  That&#039;s why I thought it was significant.

The media he&#039;s talking about is the Washington Post, CNN, and NYT.

I really don&#039;t think the word &quot;slanted&quot; quite covers the tilt anymore.  It&#039;s costing them customers, too.</description>

		<description>They get more traffic than the NY Times.  in the 70s I think in most visited sites on the web.  Without a doubt they are as partisan as Fox or msnbc.  

Still the msm can more accurately be defined by the Washington Post, CNN, NYT.  Is it slanted toward democrats?  Only in the sense it is slanted towards reality.</description>

		<description>But not the honorable kind. They profit when the masses are poor. Hollywood was practically built during the depression. They know that poor people can&#039;t go places and do things and need cheap entertainment. So a poor America increases Nielsen ratings, box office and advertising revenues. 

Their cynicism is matched only by their unbridled avarice and hypocrisy.

However, this time, they might be in for a surprise. There is a point of no return. Once people can&#039;t pay their cable bills or afford gas to go to the theatre, or the riots make it unsafe to go out they will be in big trouble.  

The news industry is so leftist they have killed the newspaper industry. MSNBC is dead, it&#039;s back broken by a policy of leftism to the far left of Lenin. Fox is rolling in dough. It&#039;s almost obscene how Fox has pulverized the liberal mouthpiece networks.

And celebrities want me to vote for Obama.  On Facebook, Tumblr or any of the social networks they want to facilitate the &quot;youth&quot; vote because they know they aren&#039;t getting the white male vote, asides from those who have special self-interest agendas they want endorsed.

Has anyone picked up a TIME magazine lately? Or the Sunday supplements like Parade or USA weekly?  My God the Target advertisement is twice as thick and printed on larger sheets of paper!

America doesn&#039;t read.  Bill O&#039;Reilly called it when he pined that many go off to live on the web and ignore the real world. It&#039;s sad, but true.

I can&#039;t wait to see what the media does when the poor left get even more emboldened in their demands and demand free internet and movies to go with their free birth control, free border crossing pass, and free healthcare. Entertainment is a right! 

I suspect the media will finally draw a line as to what constitutes an entitlement. ; - )</description>
