In an age of rage, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC contributor Jennifer Rubin has long been a standout in her attacks on Republicans and conservatives: “We have to collectively, in essence, burn down the Republican Party. We have to level them because if there are survivors, if there are people who weather this storm, they will do it again.” However, her recent column shows that she has made a clean break not only from Republicans but from reason. The writer (long cited by the Post as their “Republican columnist” for balance) has called for the media to abandon balance and impartiality. Rubin is demanding that the media just become overt advocates in refusing to report both sides in the myriad of political issues in this election.

So, she is calling out for the end of journalism. Only propaganda and bias will be allowed?

in a nutshell, this is already happening around the media these days. actually, it got worse after 9/11. that event was the catapult for all of this. people on both sides of the political aisle think that our constitution is outdated.

think about that for a moment. there was a republican from georgia that had a mao picture on her wall during her stream.

I see what you’re saying. I personally want a return to the constitution. I want to erase all this jewish law that has eroded the constitution.

going back to constitutional principles is paramount to going back to be a free republic. right now we are just a caricature of that. a free republic in name only

it used to be said that the press was the the 5th state or column. once that was captured so it was all our access to vital information about the real happenings of our country and the world.

press right now is acting as a prostitute of sorts. a prostitute has no morals or qualms about the truth

nope but it has been more egregious now since after 9/11. before that it used to be subtle. that is gone by now. any person with a brain knows that our media is bought and paid for. the diarrhea of propaganda is just nauseating to watch

i hardly watch news anymore. the little that i do is from a few clips here and there from youtube
