MRC-Radio: Bozell Discusses Media's Anti-Tea Party Bias, Olbermann on 'Morning in America'
"Think of a caged rat, a cornered rat. What does a cornered rat do? It instinctively goes for the jugular. That's where the media are going right now," following the November 2 elections, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told Ernest Istook in a radio interview.
The Media Research Center founder appeared by telephone on the November 11 edition of Bill Bennett's Morning in America, where Istook was substitute hosting.

"They're losing, they're bleeding audiences, they're falling apart. Their newspapers are going bankrupt. Their magazines have gone bankrupt," Bozell noted of the mainstream media.
Yet even as middle America is deserting the mainstream media, the media are doubling down their attacks on conservatives and the Tea Party movement, Bozell argued.

Bozell also addressed MSNBC's brief suspension of Keith Olbermann for his donations to political candidates:
ERNEST ISTOOK: Keith Olbermann makes a donation and MSNBC gets upset with that. But all his comments--
BRENT BOZELL: They suspended him for a whole weekend.
ISTOOK: Yeah, with pay. All of his comments though amount to constant donations to left-leaning candidates.
BOZELL: Of course they are. But there's not a problem with making a donation if you're a commentator. If you're Sean Hannity or if he [Olbermann] were just a commentator. But he also, and Chris Matthews, they become election night anchors for that disgrace of a network. You can't be doing that.

Its like, if you never ever go out in the sun, if you finally do, it hurts your eyes. Most in the MFM have not had to debate or defend their "point of view" for so long they have simply forgotten how. So they just lash out at anyone with common sense as some sort of monster that they don't understand and therefore must be squashed. It seems in the past Republicans and Conservatives have mostly shied away from confrontational arguments so as not to appear rigid. That started a long slow slide to irrelevance. Now with the backbone of the Tea Party, we can meet them at their own game, and they are terrified, if not a little confused.

I'm trying to predict what the media will do after they've vented. Denial, anger ... bargaining? (I don't really think Kubler-Ross is definitive, but it's fun to speculate.)
Word to the wise, however. The liberal media will appear to be open to bargaining, like Lucy with the football. They will pull it away if we're as dumb as Linus.

Lucy pulled the ball from Charlie Brown. Linus didn't play that.

You're absolutely correct. All those years, reading Peanuts books ... man, am I dating myself or what?
KC, I'll date myself too.

KC,
I'll date myself too. My favorite cartoon in the book "Snoopy's Philosophy" was Snoopy laying in his doghouse and thinking, "Sigh. Today a dog, tomorrow a dog, and no chance for advancement".

The strip was fine, but you didn't put connections together. The books were the fun. When I was a kid, hours and hours with all those books. I can't remember any other comic strip that did it. Ah well ...

For me it was Peanuts and then Calvin & Hobbs. Also Bloom County to a lesser extent (didn't care too much for some of Breathed's potshots at conservatism).
It's such great fun

It's such great fun watching the media try to destroy the Tea Party. The Tea Party is a phantom. It's everywhere and nowhere.
The only solid entity they can find is Sarah Palin but she refuses to be intimidated or silenced. In fact, the constant attacks on her are having the opposite of what the attacks are intended to do. By associating Sarah so strongly with the Tea Party in the publics mind, every attack on Palin is felt as a personal attack on the Tea Partiers themselves and making them all the more determined.
Liberalism is a minority opinion in this country and they are determined to keep it that way.

Sort of like a real-life variant of the movie "V For Vendetta" but without the explosives and masks.
