>>> Hannity is right, the news media died in 2008.

It is more serious than that. The death of the news media may well result in the death of our democracy.

The free media was a gift of the founding fathers that was designed to insure the continued existence of the democracy. That's the only reason it was free -- they believed the media would serve as a "check and balance" on the elected officials.

Never could they have envisioned a lapse of integrity such as we've seen this year. And it is going to get worse. With the newspaper industry literally on its deathbed, we are going to be further reliant on liberal TV channels -- CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC -- for our news in the future. And, unfortunately, the liberal blogs which serve only to distort news.

Anyone who has watched this scumbag Michael Ware on CNN realizes just how bad it is. This guy literally LIES daily about the conditions in Iraq in his anti-American efforts. Iraq is NOTHING like this individual describes, yet it continues day after day.

At this point, I'd sooner trust al Jazeera than the aforementioned news channels.
