   During a recent anti-Sheriff Arpaio rally we had a BIGGER anti-anti-Sheriff Arpaio rally. Their numbers was “thousands” ours “some”.

    Given that their primary constituencies either can’t read English above a third grade level, or can’t read or speak it at all, you could almost say they’re driving away virtually all of their potential readership.

    Newspapers all over the country are dying and going out of business every day. Why? They are no longer relevant.

    Newspapers don’t report news anymore. They report propaganda and day old stories that most have already read on the net or watched on the news. People don’t want their propaganda or their day old news.

    Arpaio, who was easily re-elected to a fifth term in November, called the investigation politically motivated and vowed to continue to arrest illegal immigrants.

    “I am not going to be intimidated by the politics and by the Justice Department,” Arpaio said. “I want the people of Arizona to know this: I will continue to enforce all the immigration laws.”

    Arpaio uses the sweeps to enforce the state’s employer-sanctions and anti-smuggling laws. He also participates in a federal program that lets local officers enforce federal immigration laws. The sweeps have taken place in mostly Latino neighborhoods or near where day laborers congregate. They have sparked two racial-profiling lawsuits.

    The Justice Department frequently receives racial-profiling complaints against police departments, but investigations are rare, said David Harris, a University of Pittsburgh law professor and racial-profiling expert.

    Given that the trend in newspaper circulation roughly mirrors the present trend of the stock market, I’d say it doesn’t make much of a difference whether they cover Tea Party protests or not.

    With fewer and fewer readers, there are better ways to reach the public with news of the Tea Parties.

    News? What news?

    You have to ask the question: If there was not a photographer hanging out of a window would the Tinimin Square massacre have happened?

    Its clear that the News is in the bag for Liberalism. They only cover approved Events. Otherwise its not news.

    Why do you think CNN had an agreement with Saddam to cover only his approved events.

    This is so pathtic! As alluded to several times in this blog, I am convinced these Politically correct so called news organizations are loosing their ass , not because of the internet, but because their agenda is sooo transparent.

    I’ll be gald when all the liberal rags are bankrupt and closed. I refuse to buy our local rag because of it’s incessant liberal bias (especially toward illegals). The editors of these papers are so entrenched in liberalism they are willing to lose the paper and their jobs rather than provide balanced reporting. And balanced reporting would entice me to buy the daily paper the next day. Here’s a hint guys, you need to sell papers in order to make a profit, which is the reason you are in business. You no longer have a captive audience. And you will never sell enough papers as long as you print liberal PC hogwash. What a concept, provide what the consumer wants.

    If you want to appreciate how arrogant, venal and stupid politicians and the media are here in CA, listen to archived John and Ken shows on KFI (these were the organizers of the event). Every politician’s head should be severed and placed on a very sharp stick.

    I think “John and Ken” should have a little fun with the LA Times — start promoting liberal protests (unions, illegal aliens, etc.) on their show, and then show up and do live on-air remotes from those liberal protests. Obviously, by their own standards, the LA Times can’t cover those events, because “John and Ken” used them to promote their radio show. If the LA Times does cover those events, have “John and Ken” bust them on the air.

    And of course the written media would be the NEXT bunch to seek (and GET) a bailout using taxpayer money. You think for one minute Zero would want to see the only reason (okay – other than DEAD people) he was elected disappear?

    Racial profiling … another victimization boondoggle! I was a NYC cop for 25 years. I once stopped a guy for making an illegal turn througha red light – nearly causing a 4 or 5 car collision. I chased him through another 3 red lights before stopping him. I arrested him and in court his attorney said I only stopped him because he was “DWB” (Driving While Black). Too bad I had pictures of his car, with dark tinted windows that prevented anyone from seeing into the car at all. After the judge saw that … GUILTY – 30 days, $500 fine, license revoked for 6 months.

    The big quetion is, will they cover the rallies of people that begin to demand that Der Fuhrer and the entire Democrat Party step down and allow a new election to take place?

    I can’t help but think if things continue the way they have been, that such demonstrations are not all that far away.

    And as for their guesstimates as to the size of rallies, remember, the “Million Man March” was stated to be over a million people, yet actual numbers were hundreds of thousands less, all the “peace rallies” supposedly always had hundreds of thousands of people in attendance yet looking at the pictures they actually had much, much less…

    And then there are the Islamic Happy-Time Fun, Fun rallies which they claim have thousands in attendance…but actually have a few dozen helped by clever photography…

    but the greatest example of how Liberal news outlets like to pump up the numbers of people who attend rallies for causes the outlets agree with would have to be this one of Cindy Sheehan. Remember when the original picture was shown? It was shown as a way to show how many people were in attendance, how all these anti-war, anti-Bush moonbats were all there, supporting Cindy’s cause etc., etc., etc., and even came complete with a very dour looking Jesse Jackson, but when you saw the actual picture, from a camera that took a picture some ways back, you saw that all these supposed well-wishers and supporters were nothing more than photographers, reporters and other assorted gutter-trash.

    Yeah…they just love being non-biased and reporting only the truth, don’t they?
