Conservatives
,
As the debt ceiling debate rages, Americans who are looking for answers are being bamboozled, hoodwinked and lied to by an Obama-controlled media.
The media are pushing fear of a financial collapse – not from taking on too much debt – but from ending our insane spending spree. Washington, DC liberals are pushing talking points about the desperate need for more spending, more taxes and more borrowing. And the liberal media are happy to pass this insanity off as the unvarnished truth!
On Wednesday, President Obama held a press conference to discuss debt limit negotiations. He repeatedly (14 times) mentioned the need to raise taxes including on corporate jet owners as the lynchpin to solving our nation’s out of control debt crisis. That night NBC News parroted this ridiculous solution to our $1.5 TRILLION ANNUAL DEFICIT, and didn’t bother to mention the hypocrisy of President Obama’s 2009 Stimulus including massive subsidies for makers of those same corporate jets.
Later in that same NBC broadcast, anchor Brian Williams brought “expert” NBC Political Director, Chuck Todd to explain that it was simply the foolish Tea Party conservatives who were Hurting Americans. Todd and Williams discussed the need for tax hikes – at a time of record unemployment – that Conservatives in the House refuse to support.
This is the other side to their insidious debt distortions. On one hand the media tell us that there is no debt crisis, yet at the same time they lecture us on the need for job-killing tax hikes to allow Washington to keep spending.
+ + If these media lies are believed, we will lose our nation
As the fires from European rioting continue to burn in Athens, London and elsewhere, we can see what formerly great societies can be reduced to when the people are deceived by a leftist media into believing higher taxes and more spending are the answer.
It’s not too late; many Americans know that the U.S. is being crippled by our debt crisis. If we stand up to the liberal media lies, demanding the truth and challenging the liberal media’s spin on taxes and the danger that we’re in, then we can wake up our fellow citizens and reverse course.
As long as many in our country believe the media, and think we can continue to go deeper and deeper into debt for years to come, we need only look at Greece to see our future.
This is why we are urging ALL members of our half-million strong MRC Action team to stand with us right now by clicking here to sign our petition.
If you have already taken action and signed, take a few additional moments right now to help your friends and family who arebeing deceived by the liberal media. Encourage them to read our NewsBusters reports and to take action with us to hold the media accountable during this turbulent time.
The debt ceiling debate isn’t being honestly reported, and as a result, Americans are being deceived at a time when our nation is literally teetering on the brink of ruin.
The MRC wants to quickly mobilize at least 50,000 citizens to confront key liberal news outlets -- both at the grassroots level with petitions and with the truth that our news divisions uncover regarding the media’s lame handling of the debt crisis.
Thank you for standing with us at this crucial hour,
