Print Ron Futrell Read Full Bio The Media, Gas Prices, and the 2012 Election If you look at the stories on the price of gas right now, the Activist Old Media will compare the price a month ago, a few months ago, and sometimes even a year ago, but they will not mention the price of gas when Barack Obama took office. That just might be important when talking about the election and the role that gas prices might have on it. 24 Aug 2012 Networks Examine Mormonism Prior to Romney Nomination I expected the worst when I heard ABC and NBC were going to do in-depth examinations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a life long Mormon and journalist, I had gotten used to the media clouding their reporting on the LDS Church. I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy and context with which the reporting was done. 24 Aug 2012 Obama Dishonest About Linking Romney To Murder I don't know what else to call this, other than a lie. Should I play nice and say it sounds like the President is being just a little disingenuous? Perhaps he didn't know what was on his own web site. The media should remind him. 21 Aug 2012 Rolling Stone Cover? Paul Ryan, Rockstar Never forget the media template for this election. Barack Obama is the Rock Star who connects with voters on a level never before seen and there can be no other Rock Star. They pulled it off in 2008, they will try it again. 20 Aug 2012 Defending Voter ID One of the biggest issues in this election, and every election as far as the eye can see, is stopping voter fraud. Preserving and protecting the process is essential to the future of our Republic. 20 Aug 2012 Media Obsession with Romney Taxes Talking about tax returns is normally the last thing the media would want to do. Media (especially TV news) is run by consultants who live and die by research. I know what their research says and if you were to list the top 10 campaign issues for 2012, Mitt Romney's taxes would probably be #11. Jobs, economy, healthcare, American values, silly little issues like these would be at the top of the list. That's what all the polls say, that's what the media research says. The media wants us to believe Romney's taxes are a big deal, so they keep the attention at a fever pitch. 19 Aug 2012 Media Refuse to Connect the Dots on Violent Leftists If police reports are accurate, the violence at a Conservative lobbying group in Washington DC was perpetuated by a radical leftist whose motive was purely political. He said so. He reportedly said he shot up the place because of what it stood for. It doesn't get more clear than that. 16 Aug 2012 CBS and Nancy Cordes in Full Fraud Mode The "Tiffany Network" is trying to sell that cheap cubic zirconia garbage. What else would you call journalism in which the biggest questions of the day go unasked in order to help the reportorial subject? 12 Aug 2012 Here Come The Ryan Attacks: Old Media It was a safe prediction that I made earlier this week that the Activist Old Media would work to destroy Mitt Romney's choice for vice president. The attacks began even before the early morning announcement of Paul Ryan. 11 Aug 2012 ABC Ignores Possible Collusion Between Obama Campaign and SuperPAC ABC covers up Obama lies by saying both sides are doing it. Listen to George Stephanopoulos, "Both sides are willing to take all kinds of heat for getting accused of running misleading ads, but they're just gonna keep pumping em out there." 10 Aug 2012 Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next
