Liberal Media

Within the Liberal Blog sites such as the one I just found... I find it interesting that one has to "BE" a member in order to post comments. So I decided to just give it a whirl and I signed up as a new member and then tried to make a few comments on the articles posted. I signed up with a bogus name and a bogus email. Apparently they are serious when they want to track you down for questioning. I attempted to make a comment, I was surprised that a comment posted on Aug 27.... had already been closed. My specific reference is the website "mediamatters.org."

In an attempt to ask a question of someone who left a comment... I was presented with a popup that said.

"Comments are closed for this item"

I wonder why?

Why are the comments closed... could it be that this website is purposely misleading their opinions and when someone begs to ask the question... the response is... "Comments are closed for this item?"

Then I found an article I could comment on. Apparently, I don't have enough comments to comment... now that is some tricky logic. Kind of like, "Well, sir, I want to hire you but you just don't have enough experience." Here is the full statement explaining why I couldn't post a comment:

"Thank you for your comment. Because you have not posted enough comments yet, your comment will not be publicly viewable until a moderator has a chance to approve your comment. All comments submitted are reviewed during normal business hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Mon-Fri) and posted as soon as possible, depending on volume. Comments submitted outside of that time frame may take longer to appear on the site. Comments that are obscene, off-topic or otherwise in violation of our terms of use will never appear on the site.

Once you have posted enough comments that do not violate our terms of use, your comments will go through automatically."

Thankfully those in the Constitution anticipated a problem with free speech and intentionally framed the freedom of speech within the constitution so that no matter who I am, I have a right to speak. So my question is are those conducting a forum such as "MediaMatters.com" for the freedom of speech? Apparently if they are they must dictate what can and can't be said on their website. Hmmm... freedom of speech is it really free when it has to go through a moderator are they upholding the Constitution of the United States or are they suppressing its influence by guiding the content in their own opinionated favor?

I suppose I just don't have enough experience to post on these liberal media websites... or maybe my credentials were not that good. Or maybe they have their liberal media goons working hard to convey the simplest of comments and they are screening anything out that just isn't geared toward their side of the story.

I will be surprised if my comment even turns up on the website. In fact my comment was directed at this comment from their website in an article titled,

On CNN, NPR's Andersen discusses "Glenn Beck nuttiness," Dobbs' "untruths about birth certificates"

Here is the comment I tried to post on.

Within the posts I found this from one man... (A conservative rebutting a post)... (I even wonder if the man they have posting this comment is really a man representing the conservative movement or just some fictitious character made up so they can internally demonize in fact if you read these comments it almost appears orchestrated by someone pulling the strings behind the scene.) The first man posts this:

"Wow you probably refer to (insert liberal website here) and (insert another liberal websites you frequent here)in the same sentence with truth? Where did that get us?"

The next man responds with some great logic... (not!)

"Wow, and you'll probably refer to (insert tea bagging website here) and (insert another teabagging websites you frequent here) in the same sentence with truth?"

Unfortunately I didn't document my reply before it was whist away from me and presented to the "Powers that be." But the general context of the reply was against the second man's argument. He made fun of the first man posting a duplicate comment but had changed the wording to suit his needs. This is an argument that I think I learned in the 1st grade when someone says something against what you believe just say it back the same way only slightly changed to win the argument. I think I won a lot of arguments like this... in the 1st grade.


So... I decided to read the terms of use from there website. Apparently if they deem my content "[obscene], name-calling, [or] trolling." I will be banned. Hmmm... so exactly at what point do I get to say whatever I want? How is this NOT bias opinion? Will I be banned because I made reference to the second man's opinion and alluded that I thought his arguments were those of a 1st grader? Will they ban me for inferring this man is a first grader? Or will they let it post? My opinion is they will find some way of saying, "No" To my post. Not because it was "name-calling" but from my actions they have discovered this man's opinions are against those of liberals... therefore he (meaning me) must be banned.

If you haven't figured it out by now... I am a conservative with conservative values. I wanted a forum to express my opinions based on what I see. I will be straight up... I am bias, because I have values that mean something to me and I value my opinions. I have no public office and I have no axe to grind. I'm an average citizen that is fed up with the liberal run media. So if there is an axe to grind it is the spin from the media that has been spun on conservatives and their values. I'm sick of it!
