Do You Trust the News Media?
Posted: 08:42 AM ET
A new survey from the Pew Research Center shows that only 29% of Americans feel the media "generally gets the facts straight." This is down from 55% in 1985. The new survey also found that 60% of Americans think news organizations are politically biased.
Dobbs Was Forced Out Say Sources, CNN Insiders!
Sources close to Lou Dobbs and Insiders at CNN have indicated that the legendary anchorman was forced to resign from the network because his coverage was not “middle of the road” or “opinion-free” enough for the network.
According to comments by Robert Dilenschneider, a spokesman for the anchorman, CNN was so determined to remove Dobbs, it gave him an $8 million severance package to leave.
CNN boss Jonathan Klein was unhappy with Dobbs’ coverage regarding illegal immigration, according to Dilenschneider. The Network head believed Dobbs was at odds with CNN’s mandate to occupy the middle ground between Fox News and MSNBC.
Dobbs has also recently aired stories regarding concerns over a shift away from national sovereignty toward a North American Union. He also regularly broached the drive toward a new world order in addition to martial law and the erosion of Posse Comitatus.
The severance package was negotiated after it became clear that the feud between Klein and Dobbs could not be resolved without Dobbs’ exit.
Dobbs had eighteen months left to run on a $12 million contract.
“They wanted him out,” Dilenschneider told The New York Post. “The end came quickly once the exit package had been negotiated.”
Another CNN insider, Chris Plante, claimed that left leaning bias was to blame for Dobbs’ exit.
“His opinions are out of lockstep with the rest of the mainstream news media,” Plante, a seventeen year CNN correspondent, told Howard Kurtz on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” program.
Plante described Dobbs, as “the last conservative voice on the channel,” and added that the higher ups felt he no longer fit in and had to go.
Plante added that CNN hosts Campbell Brown, Anderson Cooper, and Larry King are not “completely neutral,” prompting Kurtz to ask, “Are you suggesting that those hosts lean to the left?”
“Yes, I am” Plante responded.

It is well known that left leaning groups such as Media Matters, MoveOn.org, and the Southern Poverty Law Center have consistently agitated to have Dobbs removed.
In August, Simon Rosenberg, president of the National Democratic Network (NDN), said that Dobbs should leave CNN and go to work for Fox News.
Dobbs was also the target of intense criticism from Presente, the National Council of La Raza, and other pro-illegal immigration groups that petitioned for him to be taken off the air. Dobbs has suggested that he is keen to meet and debate with such groups now his schedule is open.
Just days before he announced his resignation, gunfire was directed at Dobbs’ home, with his wife just a few feet away from the shots. The incident followed a series of threatening phone calls.

Dobbs himself has described his departure from CNN as “amicable”.
“I don’t know if people will believe it, but we had a very amicable parting on the best of terms.” Dobbs stated in an interview over the weekend.
“I spent 29 years there building that company, and I wish everyone there nothing but the best, and they have reciprocated with me.” Dobbs added.
On his radio show he went into further detail over the departure form CNN:
“What they do is their business and I tried to accommodate them as best I could, but I’ve said for many years now that neutrality is not part of my being,” Dobbs said. “I have strong views about a lot of issues that are important to the country and I think are important to my audience.”
Speculation continues to mount that Dobbs may take a job at another network, but the anchor said it will be “weeks, probably months” before he decides where his future lies.
He has also indicated that running for public office may be an option.
“I’ve aligned myself with no group, no organization,” Dobbs commented on his radio show. “I am truly an independent. I carry no one’s water. I’m aligned with no interest group, no organized political party, nor do I intend to be. I relish being an independent and having my freedom.”

Stupid & ignorant mule,
Your comments only prove that you are indeed the offspring of a failed generation (your imbecility is unique). In fact, I place the entire blame on the states involved in the eugenic programs during the first decades of the twentieth century for not strictly enforcing the sterilization laws on your ancestors; consequently, you are the best evidence that a defective gene pool has been transmitted from one generation to the next. And worst of all, the chances that your descendants’ DNA carrying a more complex sequence of these defective genes are 100% guaranteed – they can scientifically be confirmed.
Besides that, never forget the following, you stupid brute:
“It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind…Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”
Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Buck v. Bell, 274 U.S. 200 (1927), United States Supreme Court ruling that upheld a statute instituting compulsory sterilization of the mentally retarded “for the protection and health of the state.” It was largely seen as an endorsement of negative eugenics—the attempt to improve the human race by eliminating “defectives” from the gene pool."
The news media CNN.
CNN = CaNiNe = DOG or GOD
CANINE = KA Life force in the afterlife – represents Death – NINE = 9
KA-9 = K the 11th letter and 9
K9= 11-9 = 9-11 the first day of creation
As with all news outlets and print media, including printed money, the 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center is suggested in the name of CNN.
And HOW about the recently release of the Movie: "District 9"
Media Whores & Liars: “Mainstream” Journalism
by STEPHEN LENDMAN, Article from sjlendman.blogspot.com
It’s misinformation or agitprop disinformation masquerading as fact to boost circulation, readership, viewers, or listeners, and on vital issues lie about or suppress uncomfortable truths to provide unqualified support for state and/or corporate interests – to the detriment of the greater good that’s always sacrificed for profits and imperial aims.
As a result, major media sources produce a daily propaganda diet & what Project Censored calls “junk food news,” and get most people to believe it.
In their landmark book, Manufacturing Consent, Edward Herman & Noam Chomsky explained the “propaganda model” that controls the public message by “filter(ing)” disturbing truths, “leaving (behind) only the cleansed residue fit to print” or air.
Today the media is in crisis and a free & open society at risk at a time fiction substitutes for fact, news is carefully controlled, dissent marginalized, a& on-air and print journalists support powerful interests as paid liars, or what famed journalist George Seldes (1890 – 1995) called “prostitutes of the press. for conplete article...on the Atomic News Review site.
The news network ABC:

Former CBS anchorman Dan Rather says there is a huge double-standard in the media when it comes to coverage the Barack Obama campaign receives, which is clearly made evident in the lack of scrutiny given to comments Obama's vice presidential running mate Sen. Joe Biden made earlier this week.
Former CBS news anchor Dan Rather noted on today's Morning Joe on MSNBC that the traditional media is largely ignoring Democratic Senator and Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden's alarming comment on Sunday: "... (M)ark my words, within the next, first six months of this administration if we win, you're gonna face a major international challenge, because they are going to want to test him...."
Rather pointed out "... (C)ertainly if Sarah Palin had said this it would be above the fold in most newspapers today... (I)f Sarah Palin had said this, the newspapers would have jumped all over it and so would have the major television outlets."
Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski agreed with Rather's assessment, saying "I'm seeing spotty media coverage." Spotty is an understatement.
Dan Rather Criticizes News Media Ethics/Video!
The CFR Controls American News/Media!
"The Sovereign Military Order of Malta created the CFR which includes SMOM Papal Knights such as Rupert Murdoch, David Rockefeller. The CFR is controlled by Archbishop of NY, Cardinal Edward Michael Egan. He's the Military Vicar and commander of the SMOM Americas based at St Patrick's Cathedral in New York. He and Grandmaster Andrew Bertie control the SMOM. Note that the CFR was created in 1921 just one year after the SMOM created the Royal Institute of International Affairs. In reality these are one and the same. You should take note of how the RIIA uses Wall Street & Aspen Institute a lot."
