Republican Rep. Tom Price lashed out at the media after the outrageous attack on the Tea Party following the Colorado movie shooting.
The media is “destructive to the country.”
MRCTV reported:
“First, our hearts and prayers go out to the families and individuals affected by this incredible, incredible tragedy.
Second, sadly, the media- especially on the left- tends to take political advantage of every single activity, positive or negative. It’s destructive. It’s destructive to the discussions we have from a political standpoint, it’s destructive to the body politic, it’s destructive to the country. The motives for those individuals escapes me, but I do know the American people are smarter than that. They understand that individuals like the person who was responsible for this are deranged. It has nothing to do with their politics.”

The left just can’t help themselves – no crisis can go to waste. Everything and everyone can be used to their political advantage, whether a blatant lie or not.
Patty commented:
And right he is. Why is it taking the Conservative and Republican leaders so long to see what the liberal media end game truly is.
FOX may end up being “the last men standing.” And presently, the viewers out number the liberal media:

Of course President Obama is the “perfect American” to tingle-prone Chris Matthews, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told Fox News’s Sean Hannity, because liberal media personalities like Matthews refuse to report on Obama administration failures and scandals.
“He makes the point that you and I have been making for months about this campaign,” the Media Research Center founder noted on the July 19 Hannity. “Whether it’s Tony Rezko or Jeremiah Wright or anything in Barack Obama’s past, they refuse to cover it, therefore, he’s clean as a whistle…. [I]f you’re not going to cover anything negative, of course he’s clean as a whistle.” [MP3 audio here; watch the full "Media Mash" segment below the page break]

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
I don’t know if all of these stories are true, but what I do know is that nobody in the main stream media is even asking the questions.
I close with an excerpt from an interview with Woodward & Bernstein of Watergate fame, given to CBS News on June 14, 2012:
Were there lessons learned from the Watergate scandal?
“I think there’s an increasing concentration of power in the presidency, so it needs to be watched really carefully,” Woodward said. “That is the ultimate lesson: watch concentrations of power. How are we doing in the media? Okay, but probably not good enough.”
“Best thing I’ve ever heard was from Richard Nixon’s attorney general,” said Bernstein, “who later went to jail [in] Watergate, and he said, ‘Watch what we do and not what we say.’ That pretty much tells us what we need to do. It’s not that complicated.”

Conservative Ken commented:
I am very concerned.
The media so desperately wants to tie an incident like the one in Colorado to the Tea Party. Even if it is one of their own who attended who attended one event, they will make the case.
I fear it will eventually happen. If it does, all hell is going to break loose.
Dear God, I pray I am wrong.
American Woman commented:
Thank you, Representative Price for speaking the truth.
However, you didn’t go far enough. Many of the members of the media that call themselves “conservative” or “Republican” also seem to lean “Progressive” by their actions. They were the ones that supported Obama in 2008.
For example, I truly believe that Bill O’Reilly put Obama over the top in 2008, when he interviewed him for his show. O’Reilly didn’t question Obama as hard as he regularly does the female guests he has on his show. He seemed to give Obama his seal of approval. (He was a “good guy”.)
The same was true of almost all the “Republican” elitists, who appear on the Sunday shows. They treated Obama with kid gloves.
In truth, it was average American conservative citizens on blogs like this that told the truth and who warned about Obama’s Progressive agenda. They did the investigation that uncovered the facts about the Marxist-in-Chief.
Beware of RINOs; they speak with forked tongues.

I must take exception to the term “victim.” The gentleman who stopped those thugs because he was armed kept himself and all the others in that place, from becoming a victim. “Armed Man Stops Robbery” would be more fitting.

The main stream media is a criminal front group making illegal contributions to the Democrats!
How? Think of it as hundreds of millions in campaign contributions unreported.

Echoing your thanks to Congressman Price. Who else will join him? What other Republicans will step up and call out the msm on their vulgar lies? I don’t see any others in sight..few true fighters on our side.

Proof! Establishment media controlled
[There was a rather low-key confession made in the New York Times last week that deserves to be blared throughout this country so that every American understands what they are reading in the establishment’s ultra-controlled, government-managed “press”and I use that last word loosely indeed.
The admission came in the form of a story by Jeremy Peters on the
politics page of the Times July 16. I’ve been waiting for others to point
it out, discuss it, debate it, express shock and exasperation over it.
But I’ve waited for naught.
What this shocking story reveals is that even I – one of the kingpins
of the new media and a refugee from the state-controlled spin machine
– underestimated the utter and total corruption of the euphemistically
called “mainstream press.”
It shows that most – not some – members of the print media
establishment with access to the White House submit their copy
to government officials for review, “correction” and approval before
it reaches the American people!
[..]
All I can say about these people I once considered “colleagues” is
that I am so ashamed of them. I am mortified. They are humiliating
themselves and a vital institution for any free society.
It seems the biggest threat to the American tradition of a free
and independent press is not government coercion. It’s the
willing submission of the press to being handled and managed
by government and politicians.]

So… what are you going to do about it? Conservatives get their asses kicked multiple times daily by the media and what do they do? Whine? You do understand, when there is no consequence, immoral bastards that dominate progressive politics and its media machine won’t stop. They only get more worked up when they smash the spirits of their enemy.
The left imposed serious Federal penalties and multi-decade sentences for those who lie in the press… but only when those lies are told by evil Corporations by their executives and financial experts about the company’s books. A media corporation can and will lie all it wants without fear of any consequence. “Free speech” for them. Hard time for non-media corporations.
It’s time to put up or shut up. What are you going to do about it?
