Mainstream media is threatening our country's future

| I think we’re at the most dangerous time in our political history in terms of the balance of power in the role that the media plays in whether or not we maintain a free democracy or not. You know, when I first started in politics – and for a long time before that – everyone on both sides, Democrats and Republicans, despised the press commonly, because they were SOBs to everybody. Which is exactly what they should be. They were unrelenting. Whatever the biases were, they were essentially equal-opportunity people. That changed in 1980.

Comments: This article contains the entire text of the speech he gave. I just wish there was something we could do about the corruption in the media. They should pay dearly for what they are doing in destroying this country.

Cadell is such a decent, smart man...........and he is also correct. When I watch the Press, in general, attack Romney for stating the obvious after BinGazi, and totally IGNORE the actual attack on the Consulate, etc. it is disgusting, in the same way that no newsman bemoans the fact that CNN was bullied into turning over the Ambassador's diary (never to be seen again, and I am sure that includes to his family) and that CNN reporters and others had access to the burned ruins of the buildings, all the way saying OUR FBI etc. can't go in. ( Re Fast & Furious, Univision is coming out with more blockbusters re: that debacle, with 300 more dead). Our Press ignores anything that might be unfavorable to Obama....how Brian Williams and others, and that includes Brocaw, can actually think of themselves as actual decent reporters is beyond me---they should be very ashamed when they see a Univison or a Jake Tapper or anyone else with ethics. They spend so much time talking to each other they have no idea of the CONTEMPT they are now held in.

I don't know about this. Caddell has worked as a highly partisan Democrat his whole life. While what he says is more or less true I don't think he is the right messenger. I think he is looking for attention and business for his consulting firm. The LSM has been liberal since day one. I think Caddell was just pandering.

The legacy media (LM) have been caught in their own catch 22 (thank you Mr. Heller).
Having not only bought into the Messiah meme, but become its primary promulgator, they're now frantically trying to keep the myth together as one scandal after another washes in over the transom.
The Benghazi cover-up, which dwarfs the LM's greatest triumph, Watergate, in its lethality, political naiveté, and pure political ineptitude, would destroy the Obama Presidency and the LM's credibility in sane world.
The President's insistence on continuing to fund the Morsi government to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars in the face of that government's hostility to America's main ally in the ME should elicit screaming headlines in the LM, but brings not a peep.
This election will end the credibility of the Democrat's world view, the polling industry's worth, and the LM's respectability.
RIP.

Wow. Definite must read. Caddell ties together and hammers home multiple points.
There is something that can be done, OP. Time for more than one hour per week on Fox broadcast. How about it, Rupert and Roger? Are you listening to Mr. Caddell, who is on your payroll?
(BTW: "Campaign Insiders" on live.foxnews.com [every Monday morning] is more informative than the majority of programs that Fox puts on their cable channel. If you haven't checked it out on your computer, Roku, PS3, Xbox, or whatever, you should do so.)

The Presidential debate Wednesday evening will have a large audience and that performance by the elites from the dem-biased lame stream media will be scrutinized by viewers rightalong with those of the 2 candidates. The questions asked and the balance, or lack thereof, toward EACH candidate by the representatives of the lsm on that panel will not go unnoticed yet again this time. The bias of the entire lsm is now in the spotlight for all to observe. Wednesday night just may be the last straw, the total collapse and end of the OLD media's blatant biased agenda as they expose themselves through their own theatrics to America's voters and viewers around the planet. ...It could happen.
The U.S. Constitution and Liberty itself demand a free, honest & UNBIASED press!

The corruption of the media results from the corruption of the universities. American universities are the greatest threat to America's future. They indoctrinate instead of educate students who then go on to positions of responsibility in the public and private sectors. American universities are like a malignant tumor seeding metastases throughout the entire culture. Unless something is done about the universities there is little hope for the future.
Now we learn that Eric Holder was part of or somehow associated with the armed invasion and takeover of the Columbia University campus by student radicals in the Sixties. Columbia caved in to such lawlessness and instead of expelling and prosecuting the criminals chose to appease and placate their "demands." As though a gang of late adolescents knew anything about the world, society, education, or anything else! The result was the pseudo-discipline of Black Studies, soon to be followed by more equally worthless enterprises and a widespread dumbing down and Leftist revision of the curriculum at major universities. Ignorant journalists and editors are products of this milieu, as is an entire generation of Americans.

And the essence of the corruption he was attacking was the money. So, number one, in ´08, he is the first who refuses public financing for his campaign, he raises a billion dollars.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
