America hates the media: 55% say media bias bigger problem in politics than big contributions

There were times in the last 15 months when we thought we’d never succeed in our mad dream of convincing America that the media is a worthy object of their hate. Then we saw this research from Rasmussen and realized that all is right with the world.

Dan Rather media bias It’s been a long, arduous journey for IHateTheMedia.com. There were times in the last 15 months when we thought we’d never succeed in our mad dream of convincing America that the media is a worthy object of their hate.

Then we saw this research from Rasmussen and realized that all is right with the world:

Voters agree that big money talks in politics but apparently not as loudly as big media.

Fifty-five percent (55%) of U.S. voters continue to think that media bias is a bigger problem in politics today than big campaign contributions, identical to the finding in August 2008.

Thirty-two percent (32%) say big contributions are the bigger problem, but that’s down four points from the previous survey. Thirteen percent (13%) more are not sure.

…Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Republicans and 62% of unaffiliated voters say media bias is the bigger problem in politics, a view shared by just 37% of Democrats. The plurality (46%) of Democrats says campaign contributions are a bigger problem.

Sixty-five percent (65%) of Mainstream voters and 54% of the Political Class agree that the bigger problem facing politics is media bias.

55% of America hates the media. Which is only fair, we suppose, since the media seems to hate America.

The end of the Western Christian Empire

The White House is all smiles, the citizenry is mostly placated, and the media are ignoring our real problems. But, underneath all that, the survival of America as we know it is at stake. People paying attention are seeing the decline of America’s power, and see the fall coming on more quickly than most of us would expect.

People paying attention are seeing the decline of America’s power, and see the fall coming on more quickly than most of us would expect.

One such thinker is David Murrin, CIO of Emergent Asset Management and author of Breaking the Code of History, who outlined the currently unfolding scenario to CNBC’s Squawk Box Europe. He contends that the course Obama has put America on with Obamacare reminds him of the dismantling of the British empire after World War II, when the nation created their National Health Service, which ensures universal health coverage in Britain. But the Obama Administration is not only setting us on this path with his social policy, he is also appeasing our enemies around the world.

What country would you move to? And why?

Ahhh, but where? That’s the question.

As you may be able to tell from the number of Australia-related stories at IHateTheMedia.com, the Editor has a soft spot for the Land Down Under and would move there tomorrow if only he could talk his recalcitrant wife into it.

We doubt that we’re alone in saying that what’s happening to our once great nation inspires thoughts of packing up and going somewhere else.

Ahhh, but where? That’s the question.

Sure, the Aussies have their own problems and they tend to mirror our own – an extremely liberal Prime Minister whose poll numbers are plummeting, illegal aliens, and a party in power that’s pushing cap-and-trade, to name just a few.

Even if another country isn’t better, just different, being 10,000 miles away makes the socialization of the United States easier to take.

With that in mind, if you chose self-banishment, what country would you want to live in? And why?

Obama shows Communists more respect than he shows Republicans

When Major Garrett asked Barack Obama, in Russia, if the West had won the cold war, the President just couldn’t bring himself to say we did.

There’s something oddly pathological about Barack Obama’s strength against friends and weakness against enemies.

When Major Garrett asked if the West had won the cold war, the President just couldn’t bring himself to say we did. This bizarre exchange took place in Russia.

Major Garrett: In your speech this morning you said the Cold War reached its conclusion because of the actions of many nations that were made by many nations over many years. Mr. President are the Russian sensitivities so fragile that you can’t say that the Cold War was won, the West won it and it was led by a combination of democratic and Republican presidents?

Barack Obama: There were a whole bunch of people around Eastern Europe who showed enormous courage, like the Iranians today, and…uhhh…I think that it is very important in this part of the world to acknowledge the degree to which people struggled for their own freedom. We don’t have to diminish other people in order to recognize our role in that history.

Keep in mind, this the same guy who had no trouble diminishing other people when he warned Republicans not to fight his socialist agenda by saying, “I won.”

Perhaps he couldn’t bring himself to say the West won the Cold War because his side considered it a defeat.

If you know what we mean.

Obama wins another election, U.S. voted onto vile U.N. Human Rights Council

Are we the only ones who find it odd that all members of the U.N. Human Rights Council run unopposed?
Are we the only ones who find it odd that all members of the U.N. Human Rights Council run unopposed?

Why that Barack Obama guy is unstoppable. First he gets elected President of the United States, then he gets the United States elected to the most corrupt organization within the remarkably corrupt United Nations.

You’ll be proud to know that the United States now sits on the U.N. Human Rights Council. Right alongside such notable human rights advocates as Cuba, China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.

We’ve boycotted the commission in the past because it served primarily as a venue to bash Israel.

Here’s how Associated Press reported this milestone achievement for President Obama:

Former President George W. Bush’s administration boycotted the council over its repeated criticism of Israel and its refusal to cite flagrant rights abuses in Sudan and elsewhere.

But the U.S. announced in late March that it would seek to join the council to help make it more effective, reflecting President Barack Obama’s desire to create a “new era of engagement” with the international community.

Even though the U.S. did not face competition in its regional group for a seat on the 47-member council, it needed to get at least 97 votes — a majority of the 192 U.N. member states — in a secret ballot. It did far better, winning 167 votes.

“We received 90 percent of the valid votes cast,” U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice pointed out after the vote. “And we’re gratified by the strong showing of encouragement for the United States to again play a meaningful leadership role in multilateral organizations including the United Nations on the very vitally important set of issues relating to human rights and democracy.”

Let’s review: We ran for this obscene council unopposed and got 90% of the vote.

On one hand, the 90% figure is so high that it sounds suspiciously like the election results announced in a country like North Korea or Cuba. On the other hand, we ran unopposed and still couldn’t get one out of ten countries to vote for us.

We don’t know which is worse.

French human rights group tries to take Dutch politician to court for speech made in United States

Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been accused of telling the truth
Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been accused of telling the truth
French attorney Yassine Bouzrou has entered a complaint in Paris on behalf of the ”Collective Against Islamophobia.”

Horrors! Bouzrou accuses Dutch politician Geert Wilders of uttering these scandalous words these words during a speech in New York:

“Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods” and “Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves.”

As MediaWatchWatch.org said, “The idea that a Dutchman can be prosecuted in France for saying something perfectly legal in the United States is simply too absurd to contemplate.”

“If this goes through, the United States should issue speeding tickets to every driver in France.”

Muslim leader tells true intentions: America will become a Muslim country

Muslims in America simply want to become good Americans. They just want picnics, beer bellies, and mortgages they can’t afford, like the rest of us. At least that’s what the media tells us.

Luckily, not-so-peaceful jihadists can’t keep their mouths shut. Stick a camera in front of one of these guys and he feels compelled to blab the truth. Apparently, a camera to jihadist is like sodium pentothal to a liar.

The attached video is from a Chicago-based TV show called Underground Railroad. They guest, Dr. Amir Ali, seems rather happy (eager, in fact) to announce that Islam and sharia law are coming to the good ol’ USA and that we’re destined to become an Islamic country.

Here’s another quote from Dr. Ali from the MarkedManner.com blog: “When Hitler reluctantly started to implement his ‘final solution’ in dealing with German Jews…whatever else he was, he was no dummy! What did he know about which we are as yet blissfully unaware?”

In the words of Joe Biden, “Gimme a f$#&kin’ break.”

Nutty Rosie O’Donnell plays a therapist on TV. Is this a comedy or science fiction?

This is what can only be called a case of art imitating stupidity.

Hollywood wingnut Rosie O’Donnell is the executive producer, co-writer, and star of “America,” a LifeTime Original movie that follows the life of a troubled seventeen year old who has grown up in foster care.

We’re sure it’s a touching story. A real tear jerker. Something we’ll watch, remember and someday tell our grandchildren about. Or not.

What could be funnier than the thought of anger management control victim Rosie O’Donnell playing someone who gives psychological advice?

What’s that? “America” premiered last week? We missed it? Probably while we were watching that “Dog the Bounty Hunter” marathon.

Newsweek just called you a socialist

The Socialist States of America?
The Socialist States of America?

The latest cover of Newsweek says “We Are All Socialists Now.” The story is actually a short editorial that begins by attacking talk show host Sean Hannity and Congressman Michael Pence for refusing to surrender to the new, socialist paradise that is America.

“It is…the European Socialist Act of 2009,” Hannity said while talking to Pence about the “stimulus” bill. “We’re counting on you to stop it.”

“There it was,” Newsweek editorialized, “just before the commercial: the S word, a favorite among conservatives since John McCain began using it during the presidential campaign…But it seems strangely beside the point. The U.S. government has already—under a conservative Republican administration—effectively nationalized the banking and mortgage industries…the America of 2009 is moving toward a modern European state.”

Last week Newsweek announced that it would soon be moving away from words and to a much more photo-oriented design.

The change can’t come soon enough.
