"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” CS Lewis.

On the bias of the media...

Commentor to a Washington Times online article about citizens heckling media in Wisconsin:

Listen. Hear that sound? That's the sound of America stirring and waking. We've had it with the MSM being slanted, biased, and treating us like sheep.

Watch us refuse to buy rags who lie. US anyone? Watch us turn OFF MSNBC, CNN, NBC, CBS, et al.

Watch us.


CEDARBURG, Wisc. -- Hundreds of angry people in this small town outside Milwaukee taunted reporters and TV crews traveling with Sen. John McCain on Friday, chanting "Be fair!" and pointing fingers at a pack of journalists as they booed loudly.

On the first leg of the "McCain Street USA" tour -- which will take the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, to small towns across the heartland -- the 30 or so reporters and crew were walking back to their buses to join the McCain motorcade when hundreds of townspeople started yelling.

"Stop lying! You are all liars! Tell the truth!" one woman yelled from the front of the pack.

[...]


Of course, the Washington Times doesn't get the message, titling the article "Small-town residents boo media with McCain." [Emphasis mine. -ed]
