FOX News pushing "media bias".

Nary a word when they are permitted to say anything they want without a challenge. Walk into any business in America and there is a 95% chance they will have FOX News on their television. Go in for an oil change and they will have FOX News on in their waiting room.

Never mind that we are bombarded with right-wing radio, Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, and every local right-winger in the nation, they now see "media bias" from the leftist mainstream media, not realizing that they are now the mainstream media.

When their propaganda is failing, it is the media's fault. It could never be their own fault, or their candidate's fault, or their failed message? Have you noticed they only pull this excuse out of the bag when they are losing??

i.e., tell their sheep the honest "fact-checkers" are lying and only FAUX News is carrying the truth.

They've always separated themselves from "mainstream" media - they're just turning up the volume.

According to a post just made by nobodyspecial:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021440758

Christie is on tv this morning saying:
"Everything will change after the debate. This is the reset.
Romney just has to tell the truth, which Obama doesn't do.
Obama just doesn't know how to compromise."

Listen for it from all of them!!! It's amazing how coordinated they are!!!

they talk about the media as if they are not the media.

If they don't consider themselves part of the media, what are they then?

Up to a few weeks ago talk amongst conservatives was like one big pep-rally and how they're really going to take their country back this time. That's what happens when one lives in a sterilized bubble.
