Prof: MSM Has Failed America

An assistant professor of communications at Virginia Tech, Jim A. Kuypers, has written a book detailing systematic bias from America's mainstream media:

“Immediately following 9/11, the mainstream news media (represented by CBS, ABC, NBC, USA Today, New York Times, and Washington Post) did echo Bush, but within eight weeks it began to intentionally ignore certain information the president was sharing, and instead reframed the president's themes or intentionally introduced new material to shift the focus.”

This goes beyond reporting alternate points of view. “In short,” Kupyers explained, “if someone were relying only on the mainstream media for information, they would have no idea what the president actually said. It was as if the press were reporting on a different speech.”

1 And that's why I don't read the MSM.  I certainly don't rely on them.  Never take them at their word and double check everything they say.  They are Liberals with an agenda, plain and simple, who use the cover of "journalists" to further that agenda.

2 The MSM hasn't failed America, because they have never served America
during the lifetime of any person alive today. For the past hundred
years, the media has been pretty much an enemy propaganda organ except
when forced to cheer for the home team, but the moment the pressure was
off, they showed their true colors. Scratch a reporter, and you find a
liberal; scratch again, and you find a traitor.

3 We need more links to original source material, and to use real quotes, instead of the slanted quotes by those traitors in the MSM.

4 What did we do to deserve this? That's how the MsM reframed 911.


WMD, WMD, WMD. That's how the MsM reframed the overthrow of Hussein and the subsequent mission in Iraq.


Bush is the instigator of all terrorism. That's how the MsM reframed islamic jihad.


What did we do to deserve the MsM? The MsM are WMD. The MsM have done more to deceive the public about the true nature of islamic jihad than the jihadis have.


The leftists in our midst are much more dangerous than the jihadis.

5 The MSM is Rueters, and AP, and the product of leftist universities. They are 'Big Brother'.

The parts of the MSM that are more honest, tend to question reports from Rueters, and AP, not repeat them straight off.

How do you slay that particular giant? The RAP'MSM monster.

USA all the way!
