The Media is Disgusting

Not that this is any sort of revelation, but in the past few days, pretty much ever since the Palin announcement, the media has reached a new low. The unwarranted, unsubstantiated attacks on Palin and her family, are unlike anything I have ever witnessed.

It is time for the Right to stop treating the liberal mainstream media as anything but an enemy. No longer should the Olbermans, the Courics, and the Reuters of the world be treated as just a silly nuisance, "Oh, there goes that liberal media again, *wink wink*!" These people are actively involved in deciding one of the most important elections of my lifetime, one that will decide the direction of this country probably for the next eight years, at the very least, and in doing so they have abandoned all pretense of impartiality, decency, and honesty that the journalistic profession was once supposed to embody.

It has already been shown what a tremendous affect the rise of the Internet combined with a skyrocketing lack of trust in the MSM can have on circulation numbers, imagine what could be accomplished with an organized, systematic boycott. And not a boycott that is called off when newspapers agree to hire a certain number of supposed "conservative" columnists, or when a few advertisers agree to stop buying space. For the vast majority of people, there is absolutely no reason to buy an actual newspaper anymore, so why do we still do it?

Stop buying newspapers, stop supporting those who support our enemies, stop putting money in the hands of those who would destroy our way of life, would take away our freedom in the sacred name of the greater good, and would ruin everything that makes this country great.
