If broadcast news, CNN and most daily newspapers, along with magazines like Time and Newsweek, were still the only source of news for most Americans then we would not know about:

• The scandal surrounding ACORN.
• We would have never heard about Bill Clinton’s affair with an intern and his subsequent perjury to cover it up.
• We would not know about Climategate.
• We would not know that Obama’s brother lives in a cardboard shack in an African slum and that Obama refuses send him so much as one dime.
• We would have never heard of “pastor” Jeremiah Wright.
• We would not know that Barack Obama’s relationship with domestic terrorist Bill Ayres is so close that Ayers ghost wrote at least one of Obama’s autobiographies.
• We would not know that Dan Rather attempted to sabotage George W Bush’s reelection by using forged documents.
• We would never have heard the truth about Obama “czars”, like the one who advised an underage boy to continue having sex with an adult man that he met “in a bus station bathroom” or the one who said that the man she most admired was Chairman Mao.

In all these cases, and many others, the “Old Media” acted like a state controlled propaganda organization and attempted to suppress information which would be harmful to the political left, its politicians or its agenda.

It was only new media, centered on the Internet and AM radio that uncovered and publicized these facts and that is the primary reason that old media is dying. Their failures were not due to incompetence or laziness. Their failure is based entirely on the fact that they have taken the decision to maintain the pretense of objective journalism while in fact becoming partisan players. They are, to put it crudely, pissing in our face and telling us that it’s raining.

It isn’t that the public prefers biased journalism it’s just that when all there is is biased journalism they prefer that one, the bias be for what they already believe (remember twice as many Americans identify themselves as conservative as liberal) and two, the source be honest about his bias.

As long as Rush Limbaugh tells you up front what he stands for and Katie Couric pretends to be “just covering the news” average Americans are going to have more trust in and respect for him than her.

It’s just that simple.
