So tell me something I don't know pat!!

I live in Canada this is what passes for everyday journalism!!!

It appears that Pat was overcome on the road to Damascus.....

Actually he is a former Dem pollster (not unlike Dick Morris). I always stopped to listen to him whenever I saw him - especially on Fox. He knows his stuff. This clip is excellent but it will be shown on MSM about as often as the revelations he speaks about.

Excellent. Caddell is right on. Too bad none of the MSM will carry it, err... well, at least until they have hatchets to bury deep in his back.

An honest Democrat, media hound as well. I'm shocked.
He at least sees the danger of a press run by a personality cult.

Pat Caddell is one of the old school Democrats, the ones who differed on the broad brushstrokes about the equilibrium between Labor and Business, and things like that, but they weren't batsh*t lunatic Leftists. They are a nearly extinct species, and I think Caddell knows it. His party has been taken over by hardcore Leftists.

There's a few dems/media terrorists who are getting embarrassed by how pathetic it's gotten. This guy's one and Kirsten Powers is another. Hopefully more will start coming out because it is just completely sad at this point.

When the so-called free media begins to aid and abet totalitarianism there is big trouble ahead for liberal democracy.

I always listen when Pat Caddell speaks.

Pat has been around for quite awhile and usually can be seen on Hannity. He is honest and straightforward. You can tell he is upset and with good reason.
What happened in Benghazi is a major crime of monumental proportions of both the president and the secretary of state. They hung the ambassador and the seals out to dry. Sent them in without any protection because they were not even supposed to be there. They were there to retrieve weapons given to Al Queda Libyans and they wanted to get them back before anybody found out.
This is why they lied and covered a lot up.
There were over 40 people who had to be rescued from the 'embassy' in Behgazi. They lost two other marines getting them out. Plus over another 10 people were injured. NOT a word about this, but the Independent reported it days ago and confirmed it as well.
Obama and Clinton should now be up on charges of treason.

And this morning I can expect to wake up to hear the grating voice of Michael Colton on the CBC World (news) Message saying the same lie that it was all due to a movie and that Obama is 20 points ahead. The media is a message. They are the enemy of free men and they should be made to pay.

The "flying over Katrina" meme is really getting tiresome. considering how Obarry "handled" the oil spill in the Gulf. Obarry shows up in Florida 58 days after the spill with his shirtsleeves rolled up posing with admirers in a cynically useless photo-op and not a peep out of the diseased media class. The media propping up a person, Obarry, who will go down in history as the worst President ever, deliberately lying to the American people, whether outright, or through omission is a despicable tactic. I hope when the revolution inevitably comes again to America, that the media drones and demons are the first to be tried for treason.

But James, Powers and Juan Williams, Cadell, will still vote for this loser come November. It is like the religion that is causing all the world strife presently, all the follies, stupidity money laundering schemes etc can be thrown in front of a leftie and they are still to stupid to see the problems, let alone absorb them into their non-existant brains. When people no longer base important voting decisions on the evidence of the past or what is at hand, but only on how dreamy he is or how his pecs look or his picks on March madness like the moronic media want the public to, the republic has fallen into the hands of Tass and Pravda and the Czars. Well America is almost there. Don't know your age James, but when the eastern media here in Canada continually swooned over that pathetic rich putz commie Trudeau, like he was the second coming, there were, what I thought were rational people, voting for the bastard based on lies of the CBC and other assorted media fruits and nuts . If you can't remember the past your bound to repeat it.

bartinsky, well said, although I expect that Pat Caddell will not be voting for Obamessiah. You are probably right about Kirsten Powers.

I also expect that we will be subjected once again to the media swooning over the pathetic rich putz commie's son. The hail Marxist messiah has already started and become a crescendo by next spring. The forces of evil always need an idol.

Pat Caddell is only stating what absolutely everyone knows.

Obama has given the Americans the great socialist promise of something for nothing. Everyone knows that is impossible to do, that there are no free lunches, yet they still believe it because they want to believe it. I just hope it is not another 4 years before Americans are awaken from their trance.

The problem is that the entire US government structure has been overrun with neo-fascists from both parties, which is why, for all his soaring promises, Obama hasn't closed Gitmo, but has tightened Homeland Security even more. Meanwhile, the faceless bureaucrats of all stripes continue to pump out more rules and regulations because what drives their tiny little egos is control.

I'm currently working for a software company which produces customs software. We do some brokerage, some audits of past duties paid, but by far our biggest revenue generator is our compliance software. The US has some 30 odd programs controlling what countries, what businesses, and what people you can do business with. The penalties for failure to comply are substantial - 6 digit fines and jail. We maintain comprehensive lists of what products are controlled, and even what people you can discuss business with. One of our biggest sectors is universities - because they have so many visiting professors and students from all over the world they have to have them vetted before they can offer them positions, or even attend some classes. You can't export certain chemicals or industrial products to certain countries, or even certain companies. Hardly what the founding fathers envisioned, I'm sure.

We've lost the battle for anonymity. Everywhere you go, you're on camera, recorded for possible questioning later. Governments everywhere encourage electronic money instead of cash, beccause it's esier to track. When everything you do is recorded, you're much easier to control.

Remember Swift's Lilliputians. Even though Gulliver was a giant to them, they managed to tie him up and render him immobile with a thousand tiny ropes. So it is with neo-fascist government; they have taken the great productive beast of free men, and tied it up with thousands of rules and regulations. Democrats or Republicans - makes no difference.

An excellent assessment of the corporate media situation - they are active participants in the political process active (paid?) partisans I would prefer they went back to the old profile of being a bastard to everyone by reporting all the news regardless who or what the truth damages - but at this late stage in media corruption, I'd settle for open, across the board admission that they are NOT objective, NOT balanced and NOT detached from the political party structure, but part of it.

That might be a start but I don't think I'll wait for such a corrupt indistry to change its ethical spots.

And the culture war rages on in the pages and airwaves of Dino media

Kev inB

well said, I'v said for some time now that it ain't the leftwingers, it ain't the ritewingers, it's the government it's self

Nice to see Pat Caddell waking up to the party in his living room.

I would argue that the US mainstream media, particularly Hollywood, has been the enemy of of the United States since the Vietnam War. When was the last war movie made where the Americans were the good guys?

"Remember Swift's Lilliputians. Even though Gulliver was a giant to them, they managed to tie him up and render him immobile with a thousand tiny ropes.

Yeah the Gulliver metaphor is evident, but even more frigtening is that the parasitic, controlling government the pro free market characters fought against in Ayn Rand's Altas Shrugged opus, is an absolute mirror copy of how current governments and the parasite class have jack screwed our economic and political system.

Then there is the stark realization that this one famous line from Rand's fiction is actually fact in today's martinet mega state -

- "Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them broken. > There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be enforced nor objectively interpreted—and you create a nation of law-breakers—and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

Canada has a state (taxpayer) financed media that competes with the private sector media. WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT !!!! When did we become China.
