James O'Keefe Scores Another Hit - On the New York Times, Jay Rosen, and Clay Shirky

Rosen and Shirkey are professors of journalism at New York University. O'Keefe made what appears to be an undercover video of a classroom setting. Rosen and Shirky are openly discussing the New York Times strategy to legitimize President Obama during the 2008 campaign, their strategy to help Occupy Wall Street, tax loopholes for NPR, their unwillingness to cover Michelle Bachmann, and a strategy to generate revenue for the Times that involves disparaging conservatives.

The most striking thing about this is the lack of any ethical consideration whatsoever. And the hubris.
Lot of Good Stuff In Here

President Rick erry and no New York Times

Yeah, I'd pay $5 for that.

Oh, that wasn't the point they were trying to make?

Anyone lucid enough to switch off ABNBCBS knows this is going on. Now we just have video admission. If enough people see it and understand it it might make a difference.

But they are right about the newspapers. Yes, we have Fox news out there. But in many places people still may not get Fox OR care to watch Fox OR believe Fox is truly a bad guy outlier. And they don't bother to check it out on the internet. In that regard yes, the liberal press still controls the news cycle. People don't know any better because they either don't want to know any better or don't know there is any better to know.

If that makes any sense.

Which is why it is important we, and others like us, keep doing what we do. Even if we only reach a few people if we stop those people may never know the difference.

They're liberals. They have no ethics.
When these idiots succeed in collapsing the US, I wonder who they think is going to be doing all the labor for the things they depend on, but can't do themselves.
