Syndicated Journalist a Poster Child for Media Bias or Simply Mediocre?
by Mikael Rudolph ImpeachforPeace.org
Much of the American media has apparently grown so accustomed to regurgitating ‘creative’ White House press releases that when handed a fact, they seem incapable of recognizing it for what it is. ‘War is peace? Love is hate? Sure, we’ll buy it and make a buck on the resale!’
A most recent example is how so many mainstream, corporate news hounds have yet to come to understand that the majority of American citizens want impeachment according to the last week’s American Research Group Poll. This national poll is the first done on the issue of impeachment since one done by CNN in August/September of 2006 (Scroll down or search ‘impeach’ to find these poll results).
An essay by syndicated columnist Steve Chapman published today, entitled: ‘Bogus Claims of Bigotry’, tosses out the grossly inaccurate statement “Conyers has, after all, endorsed the impeachment of President Bush, which even most liberals reject”.
Mr. Chapman wrote these words despite the fact that the American Research Group poll referenced above revealed that 76% of Democrats support the impeachment of Cheney and 69% favor Bush’s impeachment. Independents also are shown to favor Cheney’s impeachment 51%-29% and support Bush’s impeachment 50%-30%. Overall, Cheney’s impeachment is strongly desired by a 54%-40% ratio among all adults polled and Bush’s impeachment is favored by a more narrow 46%-44% of all voters polled.
Assuming Mr. Chapman actually is an unencumbered journalist, writing from his own understanding rather than being surreptitiously on the ‘Armstrong Williams payroll’ from the Bush Administration, then perhaps his readers should inform him that 76% and 69% do represent a majority and whether he is just bad at math or adroit at Orwellian doublespeak, the effect is the same.
He and far too many of his cohorts in the media are failing their audiences miserably in their responsibilities as members of the ‘Fourth Estate’.
Mr. Chapman, the stakes are far too high. We need you. Please pay stricter attention to the facts and disconnect yourself from simply mainlining and passing on the ‘company line’. We would like to assume you are committed to and capable of rising above it.
August Red Alert!! Plot to overthrow the U.S.A and Constitution
August 20, the criminals are meeting in Montebello, Quebec to plot the overthrow of the U.S.A and destroy our Constitution.
Carry signs with Traitor, Impeach, or Treason printed on them.
Impeach Bush! -North America Union- is Treason! News snuffed, Secret deal!! U.S.A ends 2010.
Lying King George behind our backs and under the smoke of his own war has given the United States his legacy of Treason.
The North America Union is being implemented without Congress consent or without any public vote or comment. North America Union replaces our Democratic Republic, United States of America; it will be fully implemented in 2010. When our soldiers come home from war, they will return to North America Union, not the United States of America, how are you going to explain that to them? King George has ruled that the U.S.A be abolished!!
This is it folks, every American who has ever pledged their Allegiance to the Flag, every American who has pledged to defend the Constitution of the United States of America, has to step forward. Now!
Demand your elected representatives to control this dictator and to bring him and his conspirators to Justice for Treason.
Demand your Congress representatives to confirm their allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America. Mark any neo-con Republican or Democrat who side with Bush and his North American Union as Traitors and run them out of office!! Now!

-A Patriot’s Message- The hammer falls on the Constitution of the United States of America. Our freedom and Democracy, our sovereignty as a nation is coming to an end (2010).
The politically appointed neoconservatives in Justice sneer at Habeas Corpus; Geneva Convention; worker, consumer, investor and environment protection; education; affirmative action; individual rights and “entitlements†like Social Security and health care.
The corporate neo-con conspirators (Establishment) have their own agenda of a New World Order; W.T.O; N.A.F.T.A; N.A.U; immigration; globalization and “free tradeâ€; military seizure of foreign oil fields; employing a private army of mercenaries and propagandist; “dealing†with Afghanistan Opium drug lords harboring Osama Bin Laden and financing Al Qaeda.
The ideal corporate model is “Communism†where individual freedom and democracy are mute. The board of directors rule. The corporate neo-cons hate our regulatory government, Constitution and Individual Rights.
Our Federal Government is purposely bankrupt by war/trade debt and the ideal corporate nation, China, are carrying trillions of dollars of our debt. Communist China and their junior corporate American partner’s technically own the “U.S.A†resulting in “Globalization†and loss of sovereignty. Mission accomplished. The surge strategy is not to win the war but to pump oil and further indebt U.S.A to Communist China. Patriots, sign on! Impeach Bush, Cheney and nullify their Supreme Court appointments!
Lawrence Baker (your name)
(Your representatives)
Sen. Boxer
Sen. Feinstein
Rep. Eshoo
All representatives- We are starting a list. I demand that you reaffirm your allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America and begin impeachment procedure against Bush, Cheney. If you do not, you will be branded a traitor. You’re either with U.S or against U.S.
Impeaching Bush, Cheney would not only save and cleanse the U.S.A but also bring our citizens together. Once again Americans would have pride and respect for their country. Impeachment of these neo-con criminals would vindicate the U.S.A with the rest of the world.
If these evil criminals win, they rule with slavery, secrecy, lies, fear, hate, torture, terror and violence.
Our Founding Fathers knew that this element would always try to destroy the U.S.A that is why we have a Constitution to keep this element in check. After 2010 under N.A.U. rule (after the people find out; neo-con corporate media guilty) there will be violence and war which will play into their hands, evil thrives in that environment.(Mexican Army)
What about the economy? (shake, shake) our economy is already destroyed, the economy is an inside game. We can compete as Americans, after we purge our government of the traitor politicians; do not let their defeatist strategy scare you. We can do it! All we need is enough courage. The longer we wait, the harder it will be to get it done. DO IT NOW PEACEFULLY!!

I have to agree with tate moderne that the media’s silence is very much intentional. It might not be the reporters’ intent, but the editors who are talking to the big bosses know damn well that impeachment is off the table.
The troublesom general public, which so insolently thinks it gets a say in things, has no such qualms about putting impeachment on the table. After all the crimes we’ve been witness to, it about damn time impeachment proceedings begin. I can only hope that there are brave souls behind the scenes fighting for this. The people demand it.
The media isn’t slow. They media is intentionally contributing to the downfall of America. When you’ve got some 90% of American media owned by 4 conglomerates and they’re all blasting Paris Hilton going to prison and Janet Jackson’s breast, while Bush is saying he’s above the law and defying Congressional subpoenas, then it goes beyond “slow to acknowledge” and becomes intentional obstruction.
