Five Years After 9/11 Liberal MediaPush Anti-War Defeatism on All Fronts

DDDDDear Friend,September 11 of this year marks the fifth

anniversary of the horrendous terroristattacks on this country, when nearly 3,000innocent Americans were cruelly slaughteredby Islamic fascists — atime when the Americanway of life and our nationalsecurity was radically andperhaps permanently altered.

We still mourn for thosewho died on 9/11. We prayfor their family members andfriends. And we honor thebrave men and women whostruggled so valiantly to saveas many lives as possible onthat day. They representAmerica at her best.

For the media, they alsoshowed their best side on9/11. Throughout that dayand in the few days thatfollowed, the elite media inthis country took theirpolitical blinders off and gaveit to us straight: the facts, the people, the events,the news. That straightforward reporting,however, did not last. Within a week of 9/11,the liberal media were back in gear slashingand spinning the news to fit their liberal agenda.

That acidic bias has only expanded in thelast five years and is undeniably cripplingAmerica’s war against terrorism, against theforces that struck this great country on 9/11.Look no further than the New York Times’sdisclosures – twice! – of critically important

secret national security programs. These twopowerful weapons to fight terrorism havebeen scuttled by the left-wing media. Also,it was revealed that Reuters news serviceutilized doctored photos to besmirch Israel

in its war against theterrorist Hezbollah. That’snot just spin anymore.That’s deliberate deceptionto aid the enemy.

Here at the MRC,we’ve documented theanti-American bias andtreachery of the liberal mediasince 9/11. With sophisti-cated Digital Video Record-ing and computer software,and top-notch research,marketing, and communi-cations departments, wehave informed millions ofAmericans about the mediaspin against the war onterrorism. We continue todo so every day.

Fortunately, there arestill some straightforward and balancedreports from the media, time and again, andwe document those as well. However, theliberal trend is dominant at ABC, CBS, NBC,CNN, and at the highly influential New YorkTimes and Washington Post. Nearly 50 millionAmericans get their news from those sourcesevery single day. Since Sept. 11, 2001, theMRC has been working relentlessly to

Since the terrorist attacksof 9/11, the MRC has

consistently monitored,documented, and exposed theliberal bias of the media andparticularly its bias against

the war on terrorism.

document the liberal media’s coverage of the war on terror, andto expose their outrages for all Americans to see.

When 9/11 happened, the MRC’s recording systems weremaximized. Using 16 VCRs around-the-clock, the MRC recorded1,400 hours of broadcast and cable network news coverage ofthe attacks and their aftermath. This material, among the mostextensive in the world, shows how the dominant media coveredthe events of 9/11, and it is available to researchers and the public.

For the remaining months of2001, the MRC tracked liberal mediabias through its daily CyebrAlerts.Notably, one week after 9/11, CyberAlertdocumented Dan Rather’s praise for theleadership of President Bush to bring theterrorists to justice, “dead or alive.” WhilePresident Bush held fast, CBS’s Rather,did not. He soon fell back into his liberalbias, pushed the Abu Ghraib scandal andthen pushed too far with his bogusNational Guard memos story. That costhim his reputation and ultimately his job,a dour legacy fully documented in theMRC’s CyberAlerts, Media RealityChecks, Profiles in Bias, and in the newsreports from CNSNews.com, an MRCdivision.

During the run-up to the war inIraq in 2003, the liberal media derided the Department ofHomeland Security, the PATRIOT Act, and the Terror Alertsystem. MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann even suggested that thealert system was a conspiracy to distract attention from badnews that affected the White House.

The liberal media decried that the U.S. did not get U.N.approval for the Iraq invasion. Then, when the major offensiveended after about three weeks, the liberal media whined thatthere were no weapons of mass destruction and no evidencethat Iraq was tied to al-Qaeda.

The White House, of course, never claimed that Hussein’sIraq was responsible for aiding al-Qaeda in the 9/11 attacks;the government had said – and it’s now documented — thatIraq had a history of contacts with al-Qaeda. The liberal media,nonetheless, ran the Iraq-al-Qaeda-9/11 spin. This wasdocumented and publicized by the MRC in a Special Report, TheTen Worst Media Distortions of Campaign 2004. This reportalso showed how CBS in particular was promoting fears of anew military draft – another irresponsible liberal media canard.

And the WMD? Well, an Army report declassified in June2006 confirmed that since 2003 U.S. forces have discoveredmore than 500 shells of ordinance containing sarin or mustardgas, i.e., WMD. It is now a definitive fact that there wereWMDs in Iraq, and that Saddam Hussein lied to the worldwhen he said Iraq had no WMD.

The liberal media tried to spin that fact away. Here at theMRC, we told Americans the truth, and provided them withthe documentation.

In fact, since January of this year alone, the MRC’sanalyses of the liberal media’s war coverage has resulted in 10national TV appearances, more than 300 radio interviews, 250newspaper citations, 17 nationally syndicated columns, 7 pressreleases, and more than 300 Web/Internet citations. And that’sonly since January.

Jumping back to 2004, the MRC released Still Liberal,Still Biased, which, among other things, showed how the liberal

media showered skepticism on theelected defenders of American liberty,and not on the tyrants and terroristswho threatened us. Before the war inIraq, for instance, ABC’s PeterJennings advertised his open hostilityto President Bush’s policies. Duringthe war, NBC had to fire one of itscorrespondents for appearing onenemy-controlled Iraqi TV to declarethe “failure” of the U.S. war plan.

Then, after the war, journalistsequated the alleged “quagmire” in Iraqto Vietnam. The networks delightedin bad news. On the day of Saddam’scapture, the late Jennings pessimis-tically declared that “there’s not agood deal for Iraqis to be happy aboutat the moment.”!

Finally, in late 2005, the MRC published Bad News Brigade,which documented ABC, CBS, and NBC’s defeatist coverageof the war in Iraq. A follow-up report, examining cable TV’scoverage of the war, will be released this fall.

There are literally thousands of other examples of howand where the MRC has documented, exposed, and neutralizedthe liberal media’s bias against the war on terrorism since 9/11. In addition to the CyberAlerts and Special Reports alreadymentioned, the MRC regularly produces Media Reality Checks,Notable Quotables, press releases, a nationally syndicatedcolumn, and a grassroots email-petition program called MRCAction, which reaches tens of millions of Americans. Further,the MRC’s TimesWatch has produced more than 60 analyseson liberal media war coverage this year, and the MRC’sCNSNews.com has posted more than 1,000 stories on thewar and terrorism – all since January 2006. This material canbe viewed at the MRC Web site, www.MRC.org.

The struggle goes on, as the war is not over. America didchange on 9/11. We know it and you know it. The liberalmedia may not want to know it or accept it. And that’s partlywhy we do what we do. We’re fighting on and we thank youfor your generous support in this great cause.

Sincerely,

L. Brent Bozell IIIFounder and President

An Army report declassified inJune 2006 confirmed that Iraq held

weapons of mass a destruction,a fact the liberal media tried

to downplay.


The Liberal Media Assaulton the American BusinessmanBY DAN GAINOR • THE BOONE PICKENS BUSINESS & MEDIA INSTITUTE FELLOW

Only Hollywood would turn successful everydayheroes into villains, criminals and murderers. And that’sexactly what the entertainment elite did to Americanbusinessmen throughout 2005. Through their movies andTV shows, Hollywood executives disparaged every industrybut their own, and the MRC’s Business & Media Institutehas the numbers to prove it.

Earlier this year, the MRCdecided to take a year-long look athow the media depict one of thepillars of the free enterprise system– the American Businessman.We broke it down into threeessential pieces: entertainmentTV, movies and TV news. Theresults for the first two partsshow that some of the mostessential people to a free econ-omy receive some of the worsttreatment at the hands ofdirectors and script writers.

For instance, the research sofar shows that for primetime TVdramas, you were 21 times morelikely to be kidnapped ormurdered at the hands of abusinessman than the mob.Businessmen also committedcrimes five times more often thanterrorists and four times moreoften than gangs. Popular dramaslike the Law & Order shows were particularly hostile tobusiness. In that world, businessmen were rapists andmurderers. None of the shows depicted businessmen ina positive way.

The results were sadly similar on the silver screen.Half of the movies earning top Oscar nominations (8 of16) portrayed businessmen in either primary or secondaryroles committing crimes. It wasn’t just petty drugoffenses, either. Those crimes included murder, mass

murder, and an international conspiracy to overthrow anation’s government.

Three of the films were blatant propaganda attackson whole industries. George Clooney won an Oscar forBest Supporting Actor in “Syriana,” a move so anti-business that it depicted oil company executives involved

in an assassination and onebusinessman reveling in the veryidea of “corruption.”

The TV section of theAmerican Businessman seriescame out in July and it was verywell received by the news media.Major print outlets like the WallStreet Journal and WashingtonPost did full stories on the study.The Chicago Tribune’s ClarencePage wrote a nationally syndi-cated column on the results. Foxand Friends devoted a segmentto it on July 22, and talk radiocontinues to focus on theincredible anti-business spin.

And that’s just from Part I.The movie section was releasedin early August and the TV newsstudy is slated for early 2007.

Through the MRC’s grass-roots efforts, we’ve been gettingthe word out to businessmen incompanies big and small. The

free enterprise system is under attack by Hollywoodand it is essential that we fight back against left-coasterstearing away at another aspect of the American dream.

Fox’s Hannity & Colmes analyzespictures doctored by a Reuters

photographer to besmirch Israel.


Andrea Mitchell refuses to labelHezbollah a terrorist group and calls

its radical leader a “charismatic”man who helps provide

“social services.”

Reuters RadicalsLiberal bias is rampant throughout

the major media, but a photographer forReuters took this bias one step furtherby actually doctoring photos to besmirchIsrael. A blogger discovered the fakedphotos – one of excess black smoke in anarea bombed by Israel and another of threeflares, instead of one, falling from an Israelwarplane – and Reuters finally confessedon Aug. 6 that its Lebanese freelancer,Adnan Hajj, had changed the photos usinga computer program.

Reuters dropped Hajj from itspayroll and removed his archive of 920photos. Reuters, which officially refusesto label Hezbollah a “terrorist”organization, described the scandal asone in which Hajj “altered two imagesfrom the conflict between Israel and thearmed group Hezbollah.”

Terrorist BiasNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, revealing

her true political colors, refused to labelHezbollah a “terrorist” organization onthe July 17 Nightly News. Mitchellinstead referred to “Hezbollah’scharismatic leader Sheikh HassanNasrallah,” who “has become Lebanon’sbest known and most controversialpolitician. A Shiite populist, Nasrallahprovides social services whereLebanon’s weak new governmentcannot, has ministers in the cabinet andoperates militias.” Not terrorists,“militias.” And Hezbollah is some sortof social welfare organization.

Mitchell also wondered aloud, “Whatis Hezbollah and what is its end game?”She then quoted un-named “experts” whoclaim that Hezbollah wants to prove tothe Arab world that it can “damage Israel.”However, Hezbollah’s publicly statedultimate end game – albeit unreported byNBC and Mitchell – is the completedestruction of Israel.

Blogging Hate TalkApparently still frustrated by the rise

of new media and market competition,NBC’s Andrea Mitchell railed againstbloggers (Web site logs) and talk radioat the Aspen Ideas Festival, a liberal hug-fest, portions of which were broadcaston the July 7 Washington Week. Passionatepolarization over issues “is real,” saidMitchell, “but the kind of hateful speech

that we have seen, on the floor of theUnited States Congress and in a lot of theblogosphere, is what seems to dominate.And I do think it goes back … to 1989when the talk radio shows went crazyabout the congressional pay raise ….

“But the anti-Washington, anti-bureaucrat bias that was built into thatdebate was then taken up by cable talkhosts as well and that became the kindof really combative conversation thatdisplaced reasoned discussions aboutcontroversial issues.” In other words,talk radio, blogs, and cable news – allcompetitors to NBC – are not sourcesof “reasoned discussions.”

Rejecting AilesWhen Fox News Channel CEO

Roger Ailes spoke to the TelevisionCritics Association on July 24, abouttwo-thirds of the 150 media attendeesin the room walked out in protest, withseveral openly slamming Fox News forits apparent conservative spin. Can youimagine 100 TV critics, upset by CBS’sliberal bias, walking out on CBS chiefLes Moonves? Or even a dozen criticsturning their backs on the scandal-scarred Dan Rather?

Such disdain for Fox’s non-liberalapproach speaks volumes about themedia elite’s arrogant belief that it’ssomehow journalistically wrong to givea fair shake to conservatives. But Ailesis having the last laugh. As he noted atthe conference, Fox has topped the cablenews ratings charts for more than fouryears, with CNN, Headline News andMSNBC trailing far behind.

More Gas TaxesOn his CNBC show, host Tim

Russert gave New York Times columnistTom Friedman, a hopeless left-winger,lots of time to prattle on about the needto raise gasoline taxes and go Green,politically, to save the planet.

☛ Dan Rather’s deep denialcontinues: Conservatives “callyou names when you insist on

being independent,” whines Rather, adding, “people always want to put asign around you and call you something bad if you refuse to report the newsthe way they want it reported.” ☛ ABC’s Claire Shipman, ignoring theactions of Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, gushes, “Mikhail Gorbachevis generally regarded as the man who broke down the ‘iron curtain’ thatseparated the communist world from the West and thawed the Cold Warbetween the United States and the Soviet Union.” ☛ Multi-millionaire actorand apparent natural resources expert Brad Pitt laments, “Dependency onoil, look at our gas prices, look at health rates. We just can’t keep consumingourselves into extinction.” ☛ MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann queries John“The Oracle” Dean, “What kind of danger — are we facing a legitimate threat to the concept of democracyin this country?” ☛ Under pressure for divulging U.S. national security secrets, NYT Executive EditorBill Keller huffs, “This is the most secretive White House we’ve had since the Nixon White House.” ☛Breath of fresh air: “I find the decision of the New York Times and other newspapers to publish the storyabout the administration’s money-tracing program to be really irresponsible. Running the story aboutthe money-tracing program is a version of giving Anne Frank’s address to the Nazis,” notes NBC reporterRichard Valeriani. ☛ Barbara Walters promotes Al Gore’s hysterical global warming movie: “Theformer Vice President lays out a compelling, horrifying, but ultimately hopeful case for finding a way tosave an Earth that’s on the brink of disaster. And that means saving our lives and our children’s lives....Wewant to tell people, again, we don’t endorse a lot of things. … But it’s very important to see this.” ☛Keith “Ratings in Basement” Olbermann rails that Fox News “is the network of choice for those aged 70or over, or with IQs of 70 or under.”

NBC’s David Gregory, along withcolleague Brian Williams and ABC’s

Charlie Gibson, praises theeducational accomplishments of a

law-breaking illegal immigrant.

On his CNBC show, host Tim Russertgives NYT left-wing columnist Tom

Friedman lots of national air-time todemand a new $1 gas tax and push

radical Green enviro-politics.

geo-political, geo-economic, capitalistic,patriotic thing you can be today. Green,my fellow Americans, is the new red,white, and blue. That’s my motto.”

To solve the problem, Friedman, aswith all those who suffer from BigGovernment addiction, advocated highertaxes on gasoline. “I mean, this is likethe miracle tax,” he roared. “You get a

gasoline tax, a dollar a gallon, you usethat money to shore up Social Security,the deficit. You tell people, we’re gonna’deal with your energy insecurity andyour personal insecurity.”

Praising Law BreakersThe ABC and NBC evening newscasts

on June 7 praised a Princeton Universitysalutatorian, Dan-el Padilla Peralta. Why?Because he is an illegal immigrant whoachieved his academic stature all whilein violation of federal laws. As WorldNews Tonight’s Charlie Gibson intoned,“American Dream: A Princeton graduatewho rose from homelessness to the topof his class, but could now be bannedfrom the country because he is an illegalalien.” Peralta “faces an uncertainfuture,” moaned Gibson.

NBC Nightly News anchor BrianWilliams reported, with a straight face, thatPeralta “got over a major hurdle today.

He graduated from the Ivy League despiteliving in the U.S. illegally.” NBC’s DavidGregory also cheered Peralta and thenlectured Americans should not “let today’spolitics change the country” – translation:Don’t let conservatives sway lawmakersto enforce existing immigration laws or,God forbid, pass new, tougher immigra-tion laws that mean something.

Former CBS Evening Newsanchor Dan Rather triesto excuse his liberal biasas being “independent.”


Mel Gibson and thePolitics of Bigotry

Brent Bozell’s August 4, 2006, Nationally Syndicated Column

BY L. BRENT BOZELL III

L. Brent Bozell’s weekly column is nationally syndicatedFor more columns, visit www.MRC.org.

Since he’s made no effort to deny them, one has to acceptthat the police report was accurate and that in a drunkenstupor Gibson hurled those anti-Semitic insults. He has beenhumiliated and in his unequivocal apology, humbled. “There isno excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone whothinks or expresses any kind of anti-Semitic remark. I want toapologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community forthe vitriolic and harmful words that I have said…”

Gibson’s remarks were disgraceful. But is Gibson now tobe disgraced? And who is qualified to make that judgment?

The paparazzi news media can’t get enough of this story,and some, like ABC’s Diane Sawyer, can barely conceal theirglee. The hard news covered, here comes the analysis, withthis-man-will-never-get-another-job-in-this-town reportseverywhere you turn, fueled by the likes of AriannaHuffington who has denounced Gibson’s “odious racism”and her colleague Ari Emanuel, who writes that “…theentertainment industry cannot idly stand by and allow MelGibson to get away with such tragically inflammatorystatements… Now we know the truth. And no amount ofpublicist-approved contrition can paper it over. People in theentertainment community, whether Jew or gentile, need todemonstrate that they understand how much is at stake inthis by professionally shunning Mel Gibson and refusing towork with him… There are times in history when standing upagainst bigotry and racism is more important than money.”Others like Christopher Hitchens, Joy Behar, Barbara Walters,and Sony Pictures chairwoman Amy Pascal have piled onwith their denouncements of this religious bigotry.

The first thing Mel Gibson and everyone else should dois ignore people like these. They are hypocrites.

They were nowhere to be found when “Da Vinci Code”actor Ian McKellen publicly accused the Catholic Church of“perhaps misleading us all this time,” and stated “the Bibleshould have a disclaimer in the front saying this is fiction.”And what of the movie itself, a bigoted anti-Catholic screedif ever there was one? Any denouncements from them?

Where were they when Comedy Central’s Dennis Learyaired his “Merry F*ing Christmas” special, publicly called theChristmas story “bull[bleep]” and said of the baby Jesus andthe Virgin Mary, “I also believe that about nine months beforehe was born, somebody sure as [bleep] banged the hell out ofhis mom”? Any religious bigotry there, folks?

Have any of these people ever said a word about the“South Park” DVD featuring an episode called “Red HotCatholic Love,” in which almost every Catholic priest andcardinal in the world favors having sex with altar boys becausesupposedly it’s been enshrined in Vatican law? What about the

“South Park” episode aired ontelevision depicting a statue of theVirgin Mary with blood coming outher rectum?

There was that contestant “Tammy” who thought shewas very funny on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” when shejoked that “It’s a good time to be Catholic ‘cause we’regrading on the curve. As long as you’re not touching pee-pees you got a get-out-of-hell-free card.” Did Gibson’s criticscondemn her – or did they laugh? How about Penn andTeller’s skit on their HBO show about Mother Teresa, one ofthe world’s holiest women and presently on the fast-tracktoward sainthood? The title — “Mother F—ing Teresa” –tells you all you need to know. Barbara Walters and Co.,where were you?

Arianna, where were you when one wag said of PopeJohn Paul the Great’s teachings on sexuality that “in hisperversion pecking order, you had to be dead-set against‘self-love’ but when it came to buggering little kids, therewas some wiggle room”? Oh wait a minute. Those were yourwords, weren’t they?

How about the TV show “Committed” that featured ascene in which the main characters accidentally flush whatthey believe to be the Sacred Host down a toilet? Or “JudgingAmy” with its storyline about a transvestite priest? Whatabout the show “Rescue Me” with its plots about pedophilicpriests and the character who has visions of Christ and MaryMagdalene, including one in which “Tommy” is having sexwith Mary Magdalene, Jesus catches them and in a jealousrage tries to blow Tommy away with a shotgun?

The examples of anti-Christian, anti-Catholic bigotry inHollywood are seemingly endless. Each and every one isuglier, more mean-spirited than anything Mel Gibson said.While Gibson’s comments were those of a slobbering drunk,these anti-Catholic rants were not just deliberate, in mostcases they were scripted . And while Gibson has apologizedprofusely, none of the people cited above has any intentionof showing contrition because they have none.

Gibson’s statements were awful, and deservedcondemnation. But the anti-Catholic bigotry raging inHollywood is far worse. Those who suddenly proclaimthemselves to be shocked – shocked I tell you! – overGibson’s religious bigotry, but have remained silent all theseyears as the Catholic Church is mercilessly pummeled,ridiculed and insulted, are frauds.
