'Don't Believe The Liberal Media!' Sign On CNN

By Noel Sheppard | January 26, 2012 | 21:01

It seems deliciously fitting that on the day the founder and President of the Media Research Center Brent Bozell formally unveiled our national "Tell the Truth! 2012" campaign, a "Don't Believe The Liberal Media!" sign appeared on CNN.

This took place on Erin Burnett's Republican presidential pre-debate show from Florida (video follows with absolutely no need for additional commentary):

Associate Editor’s note: As you are likely aware, since the financial collapse of 2008, charities and non-profit organizations have seen a sharp reduction in donations. Although the environment has improved, contributions are still nowhere near where they were prior to the recession. Unfortunately, the Media Research Center has not been immune. With this in mind, your support has become more important than ever. With a critical election approaching, the liberal media needs to be monitored 24/7. As we have been predicting for months, the press are willing to do anything to get their beloved politicians elected and/or reelected. As such, we need your help to fight this fight. Any contribution, even $10, is greatly appreciated. Please consider a tax-deductible gift to the Media Research Center to help us battle the liberal media. Thank you.

It's "pwned" and it's a corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned."

Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned."

It predates "text-speak".

That was Impressive!

Submitted by gopcongress on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 1:36am.

That was great coordination. They had the Main guy who split Burnett and Fleischer with the pronounced view of the sign. But notice everytime they did a cutaway to Burnett or Fleisher from the flank cams, their was someone in the background strategically placed to show THEIR signs as well.

Looks like we are finally taking Alinsky's rules and turning it around on them...

Seriously, though, it's going to take more than signs. What I REALLY don't understand is the fact that a huge vacuum exists for true, unbiased mainstream media coverage that only Fox seems to attempt. Why hasn't someone offered to buy out any of the Big 3, or hell, MSNBC or CNN, and turn them into competitors of Fox? I mean, how much money are we talking about to proffer? Surely this would be an easy business plan to fulfill.

It appears that there were two signs, and the director was desperately trying to minimize the signs by doing tight shots on the talent, which, with the guy, put the sign out of focus in the background, and with the woman, had the sign partially obscured by her head. But, at some points he (she?) had to do a longer shot of both people, and there was that dammed sign back in focus again! Priceless!

Media Bias

Submitted by Emily on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 1:24pm.

The right-leaning media is just as bad. Check out the treatment Fox News and other outlets have given Ron Paul this season. They either don't mention him, distort his platform, or flat out say he could not win which could be a self-fulfilling prophecy which is exactly what they intend.

The right-wing media is controlled by the same globalist banksters as the left-wing media. Other side of the same control mongering coin passed out for the sheeple.

A main reason Ron Paul does not have the support he should is because of this. Once people learn what his platform is, the details beyond the media distortion, they can't say no because he is the only candidate with a constitutional platform. Now if you hate the Constitution, then you can ignore him. If you think you believe in the Constitution, you better find the truth. We can't make a mistake this time.

Check out the stats on the media bias against Ron Paul:

The only lean right media is talk radio. fox leans left. The rest of the media leans so far left that they kiss the ground that their masters walk on.

Submitted by Unsane on Sat, 01/28/2012 - 12:08am.

If Ron Paul, a.k.a. Mr. Constitution (because he is constantly cited as this SUPREME EXPERT on the Constitution) is "the only candidate running on a Constitutional platform" as you nonsensically claim, please explain the following:

1) Where in the Constitution is Congress given the authority to pay for city buses?

2) Where in the Constitution is Congress given the authority to subsidize the shrimp industry?

3) Why has Ron Paul served in an unconstitutional branch of the military?

4) Why are you supporting a guy who is running on a campaign pledge to violate his own oath of office?

If I wanted a President who constantly blasts and badmouths his own country and proclaims that America is the cause of the world's problems (I am still trying to figure out how we are blockading Iran), I'd vote for the joker we have now.  Maybe Paul can just do us all a favor and join the Democratic party and run against Him for the Presidential nomination.  He has more in common with the Dems anyway.

3 years and 11 weeks and this is the best you have?

Submitted by UpNorth on Sat, 01/28/2012 - 12:51am.

Ronpaul gets no traction because Ronpaul is nuts, and he's supported by other nuts.  His idea of foreign policy is, bury your heads in the sand, whatever it is, if we wait long enough, it'll go away.

Unsane dealt quite nicely with his so-called "constitutional platform".

So, I guess we can count on seeing  your second post in 3 years, 11 weeks, when Ronpaul again runs for president, right Emily?

I am in control here. Shut your paultard mouth or things will get very tough on you very quick. I control both the right wing media AND the left wing media. I keep Ron Paul down and I do that for lunch. Stomping on a no name anonymous paultard is nothing in my world.

So shut up and never post again or you will find out what happens when this globalist bankster turns his energies on you.

With a critical election approaching, the liberal media needs to be monitored 24/7.

That is one tough job. Every day they provide more hypocrisy and lies such that reporting on them becomes like a constant level of noise. It hard to shine light on the most glaring anti-American acts and propaganda in this environment.
