Mainstream media is threatening our country's future

    Even the Democrat, who seem to benefit most from it, are beginning to worry about the bias and power of the media.  Here is an excerpt from a speech Delivered by Patrick Caddell on September 21, at Accuracy in Media's Conference, entitled --Obamanation: A Day of Truth.   Patrick Caddell is a Democratic pollster and Fox News contributor.

        "But all I want to conclude to this is that we face a fundamental danger here. The fundamental danger is this: I talked about the defense of the First Amendment. The press’s job is to stand in the ramparts and protect the liberty and freedom of all of us from a government and from organized governmental power.  When they desert those ramparts and decide that they will now become active participants, that their job is not simply to tell you who you may vote for, and who you may not, but, worse—and this is the danger of the last two weeks—what truth that you may know, as an American, and what truth you are not allowed to know,  they have, then, made themselves a fundamental threat to the democracy, and, in my opinion, made themselves the enemy of the American people. 
        And it is a threat to the very future of this country if we allow this stuff to go on. We have crossed a whole new and frightening slide on the slippery slope this last two weeks, and it needs to be talked about."
