,,,,,,,,Indeed, I will go so far as to warrant that 90 percent of the stories in both the electronic and print media which deal with the political bias in the industry have their origins in the <a href="http://www.mrc.org">Media Research Center.</a>.......
..........<b>Imagine, if you will, a future wherein the media willfully support the foreign policy objectives of the United States. A time when the left can no longer rely on the media to promote its socialist agenda to the public. A time when someone, somewhere in the media can be counted on to extol the virtues of morality without qualifications. When Betty Friedan no longer qualifies for "Person of the Week" honors. When Ronald Reagan is cited not as the "Man of the Year," but the "Man of the Century."</b>
The news and entertainment media will continue to effect the cultural health of America. If we succeed in our mission to restore political balance to this institution, future generations win benefit and thank us. It's worth fighting for, now.

NBC's "crazy christians" show
By Brent Bozell III
Friday, September 15, 2006
...........Two major characters fight over how their romance broke up when the woman sang hymns on "The 700 Club." Again, Sorkin aims low, insisting Pat Robertson is a vicious racist. "You put on a dress and sang for a bigot." When the woman replies that the faithful audience of the show inspires her, he cracks, "Throw in the Halloween costumes and you got yourself a Klan rally."
Sorkin actually pushed a similar plot for the first episode of "The West Wing," in which lovable liberal President Josiah Bartlet instructed a clueless, caricatured Christian evangelist who didn't know the order of the Ten Commandments and then unloaded a long sermon on vicious Christian pro-lifers threatening his 12-year-old granddaughter. He told the conservative Christians to get their fat (bottoms) out of his White House.
Maybe cursing out the Christians is his show-opening good luck charm.
While Sorkin has an obvious problem with Christianity, it's actually broader than that. He thinks religion in general is bunk. In 2002, he told a crowd at the Sinai Temple in Los Angeles that "I was turned off on religion." The rabbi interviewing him asked him if he believed in God. He said he viewed the wide array of religions as "many fairytales" that "seem hardly to be doing what they intended." For Sorkin, spirituality was "a meditative thing that has to do with helping others and not waiting for it to come from a divine source."
What this means is Sorkin -- and all the Sorkins in Hollywood -- are probably never going to write a daring, potentially offensive script with the concept of mocking "crazy atheists." Instead, in our upside-down popular culture, the unbeliever is the sacred cow.

From the New York Times, Oct. 30, 1980
Christians For Reagan, a right-wing religious lobby organized to capture the fundamentalist vote for the Republican candidate, announced yesterday that it plans to air a series of television advertisements attacking President Carter for his support of homosexual rights. Gary Jarmin, national director of the lobby, said the ads would run in several key Southern states and in southern Ohio, ''where there exists a large concentration of fundamental, evangelical Christian voters.'' Mr. Jarmin said the group decided to conduct this sort of campaign for evangelicals because ''if there's any reason at all they should oppose Carter, this is it.'' The ads stem from a position paper submitted by Mr. Carter and adopted into the Democratic National Platform that says: ''We must affirm the dignity of all people and ... protect all groups from discrimination based on race, color, religion, national

ROBERTS, STEVEN V.
Dateline: OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 26
Section: D
Publication title: New York Times. (Late Edition (East Coast)). New York, N.Y.: Sep 29, 1980. pg. D.13
Special to The New York Times
In a large shopping mall, two bookstores give prominent display to ''Listen, America,'' a political tract by the Rev. Jerry Falwell, the television evangelist. At the Oklahoma State Fair, the ''modern living'' building is full of booths offering Bibles and John Birch Society literature.
Fundamentalist churches, which have wide appeal in this area of the Sun Belt, have traditionally stayed out of politics, but this year they have entered the secular arena with a vengeance.
The churches are promoting political viewpoints ''even from the pulpit,'' said Jeanette Bode, a Republican activist who was working in the party's booth at the state fair. ''They want to get God back into government. God is very much a part of this campaign.''
<b>The fundamentalist churches have linked hands with political and economic forces such as the American Conservative Union and the Conservative Caucus. The result is a highly organized, highly conservative alliance that may help swing Oklahoma and other Sun Belt states behind Ronald Reagan's Presidential bid.</b>
Shifting Sentiment of Voters
Lately, however, a few storm clouds have been gathering here that could dampen Mr. Reagan's campaign. As voters start focusing on the election, at least some of those who had been leaning toward Mr. Reagan are having second thoughts about whether they want him as President.
Nadine Willis was visiting the state fair with her daughter and two grandchildren, and she discussed the campaign over a fried chicken lunch. ''I thought I really liked Reagan,'' said Mrs. Willis, the owner of an X-ray supply business. ''But as time goes on, he just doesn't seem like a strong enough man.''
<b>''At first I was going for Reagan,'' said Ann Cross</b>, who was selling fudge at the fair. ''But the more I really got into some of his feelings, I found that I didn't agree, or didn't like the way he put things. <b>I was particularly upset about his statement that Vietnam was a noble cause.</b> I wouldn't want that feeling reflected in the future.'' .....

It's the same story, Stompy, for at least the last 26 fucking years, contrived, (Gulf of Tonkin, '64...) aggressive war by an imperialistic hyper power, against a small, technologically backward, poorly armed "enemy" country,,,,and Jesus...GOOD!
....queers....and liberal media, BAD! Since the entire "message" is broadcast incessantly, by one guy, L. Brent Bozell III and his MRC.org, nephew of William Buckely of the National Review....yeah....brainwashing is an accurate description, IMO..... |
