Soros Funded Bile Treated As Hard News

I know this story has been covered pretty extensively by practically every conservative blogger in the rightwingblogosphere, but I can’t resist the urge to get a few licks in myself.

There is something very, very wrong in this country.

Let’s face it. Most people don’t pay attention to the news as closely as we blog readers, and talk radio listeners do. Most people just hear the sound-bites, and consider themselves educated, and informed. And when I say “most people”, I mean the vast majority…90-95% of the folks out there just are not paying attention to the degree that they need to. Note, that I didn’t say, “to the degree that they should”. People should be able to get honest reportage from the MSM. But they don’t, so they need to look deeper to find honest sources.

When still respected news outlets like the the AP and The New York Times treat a study funded by George Soros, a man who has said bringing down the Bush Administration is the “central focus of my life.” as hard news, when it’s clearly propaganda, and even neglects to mention Soros as a source for the funding of the study… we’ve really got serious problems.

The Soros-funded Lancet study helped to erode support for the Iraq War effort, here in the US, and all over the world, while it encouraged our enemies. The 650,000 civilian death toll has since been thoroughly discredited, but that number will still be used by protesters of the war for years to come.

Now, the MSM is doing it again, and they won’t apologize because they agree with Soros’s version of the “truth”.

How are conservatives going to stand a chance in November, under these circumstances?

I am most seriously displeased!
