Happy Thanksgiving: eat early and often!!!

These people control the media and get them to talk about whatever they want, and falsely (and on purpose) call it "liberal" or their game wouldn't work.

The Global Warming hacked emails "scandal" is just further proof of how the right has taken over virtually all mainstream media. They conjure up any old lie, lie after lie after lie, and they repeat it over and over and over, and the regular mainstream media they call "liberal" simply repeats their lies, whatever the latest may be. The truth is the truth, and there's no debate among scientists and intelligent people that Global Warming is REAL, and this hacked email controversy is a case in point on how the right can take something out of context and twist it to fit their agenda and then set the LIE off on America via the entire mainstream media they have taken over or control what they talk about. The right has totally taken over the media, they control what's talked about, and they can manufacture ANY lie on behalf of corporations, the military industrial complex, and the wealthiest few. LISTEN TO THESE MILLIONAIRE LIARS FINANCED BY BILLIONAIRE ASTROTURFERS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND WELL-BEING, THEY COULDN'T GIVE A SHIT IF YOU DROP DEAD, THEY'RE TOO BUSY COUNTING THE MONEY THEY'RE MAKING OFF YOU!!! Even besides the Global Warming issue using oil based energy, why aren't we getting off oil simply to, as the right says, stop financing "the terrorists"? Did everyone forget about that? And I want to go with cleaner, renewable energy that we don't have to rely on "the terrorits" for! That is the big elephant in the room the media is ignoring: the right wants to keep using oil, but yet claims we're financing "the terrorists" by doing so! The "War on Global Warming" is part of the rightwing's "War on Science", including EVOLUTION. They figured out that the way to get their CRAZY radical backwards religious-tinged points across was to take over the media, and they did...but they MUST still whine over and over and over that it's "liberal" or their game won't work!

The Real Scandal Over Climate Change Isn't About Hacked Emails But the Media's Coverage

Rightwing media has begun their next cancerous lie in the mainstream media: the Global Warming/hacked emails fake controversy.

Here's your PROOF that the right controls what they call the "liberal media": Michelle Malkin and FOX "news" go ballistic DEFENDING what they call the "liberal media" when the government proposes bailing out the "liberal media" - they're against it! They're defending the "liberal media", so then is it liberal or are they pretending it's liberal??? Now, why would they defend what they call the "liberal media" from being taken over by the "liberal government"...if it's already "liberal" as they claim???



David Brock, the reformed conservative noise-maker, on how the Right has sabotaged journalism, democracy, and truth.

As a young journalist in the 1990s, David Brock was a key cog the Republican noise machine. Writing for the American Spectator, a conservative magazine funded by billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, Brock gained fame for his attack pieces on Anita Hill and President Bill Clinton. Then, in 2002, Brock came clean. In his memoir, Blinded by the Right, Brock admitted that his work was based on lies and distortion, and part of a coordinated smear campaign funded by wealthy right wing groups to discredit Clinton and confuse the public.

Since then, Brock has continued to expose the conservative media onslaught. In his newest book, The Republican Noise Machine, Brock documents how right-wing groups pressure the media and spread misinformation to the public. It's easy to see how this is done.

Fringe conspiracies and stories will be kept alive by outlets like Rush Limbaugh, the Washington Times, and the Drudge Report, until they finally break into the mainstream media.

Media groups like Brent Bozell's Media Research Center have spent 30 years convincing the public that the media is, in fact, liberal. As Brock says, it's all a sham: "I have seen, and I know firsthand, indeed from my own pen, how the organized Right has sabotaged not only journalism but also democracy and truth."
