NewsBusters reports that ABC News has joined the chorus of lefty MSM outlets lamenting the fact that the American people no longer rely on them to receive our news.
ABC’s World News on Tuesday night bemoaned the impact of conservatives and citizen journalists in derailing President Barack Obama’s agenda. Pivoting from the reaction to Obama’s address to students, anchor Charles Gibson observed “today’s speech was really the latest target of some conservative groups taking on the President” and “their tactics are having an impact.”
Reporter Dan Harris asserted “the conservative echo chamber is not new, but,” he fretted, “this White House is operating in a vastly accelerated media environment where you no longer need to be in the presence of reporters to make news, as we saw with the health care furor at those town hall meetings.” Journalistic veteran Tom Rosenstiel marveled: “Today you can arrange that protest yourself, photograph it with a hand-held cell phone, and if you can then generate enough views of that video on YouTube, you can make something into national news.” That’s because, Harris insisted, “the mainstream media love a good fight, even if the charges are unfounded.”
Though Harris acknowledged “some of the conservative complaints do play into larger concerns” about Obama, he relayed how “critics say the White House has been simply unprepared to deal with the ferocity of the conservative push-back.” …..
Aw, what a shame. The American people have decided to obtain news that hasn’t been cleansed by the MSM.
Hurt Big Ears agenda…me?
If I could there would be NO agenda.
If Ihad my way, Big Ears would be grounded to the White House and have to stand in the corner intil Jan 2012.

Maybe some of the people are waking to the fact that this D.C. gang is running up the national debt at a rate of $1 billion every 5 weeks. Add that up for 4 years, and it comes to some big numbers. Now just think how much their health care scheme will add to that, and it gets even scarier. The folks in MSM love it, but some of us don’t. They can’t quite grasp the fact that anybody can disagree with them. They know best, so shut up, you ignorant right-wing idiots!
