When something terrible happens, people turn to the news. But, it appears that MSNBC is not the place to which to turn. During last week’s Boston Marathon Bombing crisis. People turned to the news. However, it was FOX, and to a lesser degree, CNN, that viewers trusted. MSNBC was not in the equation. Newsbusters has more… TVByTheNumbers.com shared data Friday (through Thursday): 4-DAY AVERAGE TOTAL DAY FNC: 1,647,000 total viewers (421,000 in the demo) CNN: 1,048,000 total viewers (403,000 in the demo) MSNBC: 515,000 total viewers (162,000 in the demo) 4-DAY AVERAGE PRIMETIME FNC: 2,783,000 total viewers (682,000 in [...]

Man Shoots and Kills Two Home Invaders: National Media Silent
In yet another example of self defence using a firearm, a man used a gun to defend himself, and his toddler son from home invaders. Yet, the national media chose to take a pass on covering it. My last post about guns and self defence caused a big stink on some sites, where people took issue with the comment that the liberals would prefer people to be dead, as it is better for the narrative. Allow me to expand a bit: Democrats, liberals, regressives (whatever you want to call them) will not stop at taking ugly guns-they want them all. [...]
Sweden Declares War…on Playtime
Did the Burgermeister Meisterburger, seen here in this undated file photo,take over Sweden? It would appear so, considering the whacky Cultural Marxism taking place there. For a bit more, take a look at this from the American Enterprise Institute… But subterfuge and propaganda appear to be the order of the day in Sweden. In their efforts to free children from the constraints of gender, the Swedish reformers are imposing their own set of inviolate rules, standards, and taboos. Here is how Slate author Nathalie Rothchild describes a gender-neutral classroom: One Swedish school got rid of its toy cars because boys “gender-coded” them and ascribed the cars [...]
California Federation of Teachers Produces Anti-Capitalist Propaganda
What happens when the California Federation of Teachers produces a video about economics? Well, it would look like this… http://youtu.be/cwg4DB-EeEA And this is probably being used in schools right now.

Democrat Propaganda Translated
You have to love Democrat propaganda, they really try hard to make us all think that they really aren’t race baiting, dependency creating, and class warfare oriented leftists. Also, as most readers know, I go over my Facebook page daily, and when my friends post an interesting pic, I use it for the Sunday Link post. But sometimes, I find a piece of Democratic/Communist propaganda that is so asinine, that I cannot resist translating it into reality. So, here is the image, and the translation follows… So, here we go… We’re not against capitalism, we’re against it’s abuses… Except when [...]
Intelligence Community Critical of Obama Administration Actions in Libya
As times wears on, we are finding out more and more about the Obama administration’s incompetence in Libya. The failures, the lies, the avoidance, more lies-it’s all part of how this story is unfolding. And, if the MSM was doing it’s job, rather than being a regressive propaganda machine. It would be front page news. Doug Ross (no relation) has the latest on the failure and resulting cover-up… I wonder if releasing a movie that depicts the president double-tapping Bin Laden will help? REVOLT OF THE SPOOKS Intelligence officials angered by Obama administration cover up of intelligence on Iranian, al [...]
And you Wondered why we were Concerned About Census Questions?
If you recall, there were a lot of questions regarding the details requested in the last census. For example, I knew that census data was misused in the past, but I never took the time to research it sufficiently to write a post. Bunkerville, however, has done the necessary legwork. Here is an excerpt… This rounding up of Japanese-American citizens was “authorized” by President Franklin D. Roosevelt who bypassed Congress and issued Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. The executive order was written and carried out in total violation of the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights. http://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/todays-doc/index.html?dod-date=219 [...]
Melissa Harris Perry of MSNBC Engages in Leftist Propaganda for Independence Day
Well, just in cased you thought that even MSNBC couldn’t ruin Independence Day, think again. MSNBC’s Melissa Harris Perry went out of her way to propagandize the birth of our country. The Blaze has the video, and the transcript… Melissa Harris Perry, say things like this, according to Mediaite: In what is sure to rankle the feathers of many conservatives, MSNBC weekend host Melissa Harris-Perry took to her show Sunday to ponder the meaning of Independence Day, highlighting mostly the stains on American history. “It’s ours, all of it,” she said. “The imperialism, the genocide, the slavery, also the liberation and the hope and the [...]
Regressive Propaganda Debunked
In my search for images for the weekly link post, I found this image… Here is the correction/translation… “Blessed are the bigoted, for they shall never be at fault.” You mean that great conservative LBJ? “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at [...]
Some in Congress Seek to Repeal Ban on Propaganda, Are They Aware That MSNBC has Already Ignored it?
Imagine my shock and surprise when I read of the proposal to eliminate laws restricting the use of propaganda in the US. Here is more via Buzzfeed… An amendment that would legalize the use of propaganda on American audiences is being inserted into the latest defense authorization bill, BuzzFeed has learned. The amendment would “strike the current ban on domestic dissemination” of propaganda material produced by the State Department and the Pentagon, according to the summary of the law at the House Rules Committee’s official website. The tweak to the bill would essentially neutralize two previous acts—the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and [...]
Keith Olbermann Fired: Still Can’t Play well with Others? UPDATED: Olbermann’s Response
It seems that Keith Olbermann is having a very hard time holding a job. After less than a year on Current TV, Olbermann was let go by the network. The Blaze has more… “We created Current to give voice to those Americans who refuse to rely on corporate-controlled media and are seeking an authentic progressive outlet. We are more committed to those goals today than ever before,” network co-founders Al Gore and Joel Hyatt wrote in a letter to viewers. “Current was also founded on the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers. Unfortunately these values are no [...]
Coming Soon: The Purge of the TV Weathermen
It seems that not enough TV weathermen are spreading the word about Climate Change The Big Lie. Consequently, lefties are promoting an offensive to either convert, or get rid of those that hold fast to the truth. Weasel Zippers has more… Concerned that too many “deniers” are in the meteorology business, global warming activists this month launched a campaign to recruit local weathermen to hop aboard the alarmism bandwagon and expose those who are not fully convinced that the world is facing man-made doom. The Forecast the Facts campaign — led by 350.org, the League of Conservation Voters and the Citizen Engagement Lab [...]
Occupy Wall Street: A Staged, Organized Temper Tantrum?
I’m certain that I’m not the only person that has noticed that the liberals tend to act like petulant children when they “don’t get their way.” One has to look no further than the Occupy Wall Street Crowd to see that point in action. So what’s going on? Why has does the left descend into tantrums when reality intervenes and ruins their plans? Why do they deny others the right to speak by shouting them down? Why do so many adults abandon reason and self-control when life throws a wrench into their works? What happened to the work ethic? [...]
Michael Moore Engages in More Propaganda: States that OWS is a "Majority, Peaceful" Movement
We all know that Michael Moore is a maker of reality optional “documentaries.” He is still at it now, in defense of Occupy Wall Street. Kindly take a look at the following video, courtesy of OWS Exposed. So, on to the commentary… 1. Everyone he has talked to is committed to non violence? Who has he talked to? There are a freakton of videos showing violence, tweets from organizers urging protesters to bring bottles to throw at the Police, and the like. Who does he think he’s kidding? Of course, he is on MSNBC, so all three viewers are probably [...]
Anti-Capitalist Proganda Explained: Redux
Back in July, I published a post about anti-capitalist propaganda. Given the #occupy useful idiocy going on, I thought it might be useful to revisit it. When I was looking for an image for my last post, I found a ton of images that were confusing, not that I didn’t understand then, I did, but because how factually and philosophically incorrect they were. So, I thought it would be fun to examine a few, and compare them to the real world… This one is kinda interesting. I kinda like Burger King and Ford. But here is the reality; I don’t [...]
Obama Attempts to Protect Progressive Narrative: Launches "Attack Watch" UPDATED
Well then, talk about shades of the ObamaCare “snitch line!” The Obamaites have now launched “Attack Watch,” a site for loyal useful idiots to turn in their friends, neighbors, and family members for “counter-revolutionary activities,” like believing in individual freedom, and other crazy notions. Apparently, there is far too much truth going on out there, and something must be done about it, ammitrite? At any rate, I did report myself. We’ll see if there is a sudden influx of paid trolls. That might just be fun! On a serious note, informing on your neighbors…where have we heard that before? Where did that happen, and what was [...]
Blame the Tea Party! It's More Than Just Propaganda
Two recent stories have caught my attention, but I think there is an additional dimension that we have been missing. The first story is a “Great Moments in Civil Discourse” moment, when Maxine Waters told the Tea Party to go to hell. Then, we have Rep. Andre Carson from the Congressional Black Caucus, suggesting that the Tea Party wants black people hanging from trees… http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tG8x6X8xn3c Now, this is standard Democrat/regressive fare. Propaganda, lies, false narratives-we’ve seen this all before. I frankly don’t get offended by it. But, there is something more to it. I seem to remember that this wasn’t [...]
Media Matters Lies About America's Watchtower: I'm Jealous
It seems that our good friend, Steve Dennis, of America’s Watchtower, was linked by Media Matters. Apparently, they think Steve is pro-militia… This was an interesting week “behind the scenes” here at America’s Watchtower: First, America’s Watchtower was linked in a post which was cross posted on Noisy Room, Trevor Loudon, and Gulag Bound; this brought in some extra and always welcome traffic. But later in the week, as I was checking out my referrers, I noticed a few hits coming from Media Matters so naturally I had to check it out. Why would America’s Watchtower be linked at Media Matters? Imagine [...]
Hollywood Files for Divorce from America
Hollywood, long synonymous with America and American culture announced today that it intends to file for divorce. “This has been a long time coming” said Hollywood. “We’ve grown apart. We no longer share the same values. America and I have nothing in common. Hell, we don’t even like each other anymore.” As part of the divorce settlement Hollywood is asking for custody of the mansions, private jets and high-flow toilets. Insiders say that one source of friction between Hollywood and America was that Americans stopped going to the anti-American propaganda movies that Hollywood insisting on making. Said an anonymous source: Hollywood was [...]

So, I thought it would be fun to examine a few, and compare them to the real world… This one is kinda interesting. I kinda like Burger King and Ford. But here is the reality; I don’t have to buy a single product from any of those companies. That’s freedom! Let’s say for example, that I don’t want Windows on my computer. Rather than support all of [...]
And the Hypocrisy Just Keeps Coming: Lefty Media Downplayed Jeremiah Wright, but Michele Bachmann's Former Pastor is News
The left has turned into an endless wellspring of posting material this week. For the latest in they left’s endless supply of hypocrisy, here is a story from the Atlantic, that was picked up by a variety of sources, including Think Regress… Bachmann was a longtime member of the Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church in Stillwater, Minn., which belongs to the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), a council of churches founded in 1850 that today comprises about 400,000 people. WELS is the most conservative of the major Lutheran church organizations, known for its strict adherence to the writings of Martin Luther, [...]
Think Regress Just Keeps on Lying: Misrepresents Pro-family Pledge Signed by GOP Candidates: UPDATED
Recently, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum signed a family oriented pledge created Family Leader, a social Conservative group in Iowa. The reaction from the far left, Soros funded website, Think Regress, has been typical…. Lie, lie, lie, and did I mention lie? First off, here is the pledge. I have emphasized the item in question… The Candidate Vow: Therefore, in any elected or appointed capacity by which I may have the honor of serving our fellow citizens in these United States, I the undersigned do hereby solemnly vow* to honor and to cherish, to defend and to uphold, the Institution of [...]
Quick Hits: Fake Excuse Writers Under Investigation, School Employee Disciplined, Think Progress Caught Lying (Yet Again)
It’s time for a quick look at some recent stories. We have the Docs behaving badly from Madison, a school district employee disciplined, and the propagandists at Think Regress being caught lying. Eight Doctors Under Investigation for Writing Fake Excuses at Union Protests: Remember the doctors that were caught writing excuses for union workers that were too sick to work, but not bad enough to be thugs? Well, they are now under investigation… Madison – The state Department of Regulation and Licensing and the Medical Examining Board said Wednesday that they had opened investigations into eight individuals who allegedly wrote [...]
Citizens United Propaganda Countered
How the World Works has a video that calmly and devastatingly counters the lefty (Annie Leonard) propaganda about the Citizens United decision. It’s a bit long, but well worth the time. Unfortunately, “progressive” propaganda, like the Story of Stuff, are shown in our schools. Even more unfortunately, the materials that successfully expose the lies, are not. Kindly spread this around. It needs to be seen.

Jared Loughner and Zeitgeist: The Narrative Evolves
I guess I couldn’t go on forever with out commenting on the “connection” between Jared Loughner and the film, Zeitgeist.

MSM Still Jumping the Shark: New Poll Confirms that Majority of American are in Touch with Reality
Try as they might, the “progressives” and their minions in the MSM are unable to get the “big lie” past the people. Hot Air has the latest. The last poll from CBS that showed Americans rejecting the “extreme rhetoric” blame game was taken in the first couple of days after the shooting. This Gallup poll for USA Today was conducted on Tuesday, with plenty of time for the media’s “magical thinking,” as Allahpundit put it, to mold public opinion. It’s still no sale: Most Americans reject the idea that inflammatory political language by conservatives should be part of the debate [...]
The Slate's Jacob Weisberg's Arguments are Shredded: Why Liberals Like Him Shouldn't be Allowed to Write about the Giffords Shooting
Over the last several days, I have been battling with liberals on the internet who want to score political points with the awful tragedy in Arizona. I have been trolling on many different sites, commenting and battling comments on my comments, trying to communicate that it is wrong to try to politicize this awful tragedy- that it was not a conservative who committed it, that it wasn’t Sarah Palin, that it wasn’t tea party people, etc. Today, I finally felt that the conversation was changing and that those who had made those arguments had lost credibility and respect such that they would [...]
Arizona Shooting Update: MSM Sets Shark Jumping Record Updated and Stickied
On the people front, doctors have been quoted, as saying that there is a 100% chance that Rep. Giffords will live. That is a miracle in and of itself, and I think we should pray for the fullest possible recovery. Also, lets not forget the other victims, and their families. As for the propaganda aspect of this tragedy, I have been suggesting that the “progressives,” and their media lapdogs have been hitting this so hard and so often, that it’s going to backfire. At the time of this writing, I can, at the very least, say that they are spinning…their [...]
Monday Links: Leftist Hate Edition
Well, sadly, the left has taken us off task. Instead of concentrating on the political agenda, and supporting the victims of Saturday’s shooting, we are now having to defend our movement against the false claims of the left wing lie machine.

A Conservative Teacher is exploring who does not embrace life. The Other McCain has a post about the government’s stand on the shooting in Arizona. Conservatives [...]
A Historic Day: 112th Congress
Well folks, yesterday was an historic day. The 112th Congress is upon us. The days of Nancy Pelosi as speaker are over. The GOP is now firmly in control of the House, and the Democrats have moved back to the shadows. It’s a great day, don’t get me wrong, but let’s take a look at how we got to this moment. The “progressives” in government and the MSM had much to gloat about in November 2008. They all parroted the narrative that Conservatism was “dead.” The Democrats, by the way, were laying the groundwork for “30 year majority.” We were [...]
Blog Focus: A Must Read Rebuttal to a Progressive
I caught this link over at Legal Insurrection. I had to post an excerpt and urge you to read the rest. This is from Stop Shouting. The following rebuttal is mine alone. I do not speak for my husband, for my friends, for my children, but solely for myself. I am tired of being told to sit down and shut up. I am tired of being told what I can and can not say. What is “acceptable”, while my ideas and values are mocked and trampled. Enough. I have had enough. I remained stoic when your acolytes spit on my [...]
Propagasm: An Example of Pure, Concentrated, Progressive Propaganda
We’ve all seen Democratic/”Progressive” talking points before. By COMPLETE COINCIDENCE, politicians, the MSM, pundits, and other hacks, all start simultaneously beating up a Conservative or group. We know of the the Alinsky-derived purpose for them-to smear a target so what the target actually stands for can be ignored or distorted. We’ve been called racists, terrorists, hatemongers, liars, and so forth. We’re used to it, and it’s even backfiring (just take a look at MSNBC’s ratings). However, in my rounds about the internets today, I saw propaganda so concentrated, and so intense, that it required a paradigm shift to understand it. [...]
