Two months after trying to blame Conservatives for the senseless shootings in Arizona, the leftist media are ignoring actual death threats against Wisconsin legislators who voted to restore fiscal sanity to their state budget. –David
wIillard,
Unless you live in Wisconsin and actually witness the liberal media fueled madness that is taking place there, you likely aren’t getting the whole sordid story.
A Wisconsin radio show obtained this not-reported-by-the-liberal media email death threat:
“Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your families will be killed due to your actions [over] the last eight weeks. Please explain to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell.”
Where’s the media outrage?
As NewsBusters reported, the media have routinely described Tea Party Conservatives as hostile, violent, and angry. Yet actual death threats made against Republicans aren’t newsworthy?
Go here for the full story and to take action with the MRC.
+ + Time Magazine Headline: “Dead Man Walker?” 
wIillard, following the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) in Tucson, the media sanctimoniously lectured the nation on curbing violent rhetoric and imagery.
Perhaps Time magazine didn’t get the memo?
On Saturday, they had the audacity to publish an article with the following headline: Wisconsin’s Governor Wins But Is He Still Dead Man Walker?
The article does provide a service in describing chalk outlines (the type TV police draw around murder victims) with Governor Walker’s name in them on the sidewalk around the Capitol.
Hadn’t heard about the chalk outlines? That’s because liberal media lapdogs don’t believe that kind of rhetoric and imagery is newsworthy when Conservatives are the targets.

Of course none of this should surprise you. Our MRC Media Reality Check report showed an unmistakable, double-standard favoring left-wing protests, and an open hostility toward Conservative and Tea Party rallies.
This is precisely why it is so critical that conservatives stand in solidarity and break the liberal media alliance. Failure to take action will embolden the media to step up their demonizing tactics until conservatives are pushed to the sidelines!
+ + A battle that must be won!
wIillard, we cannot let this happen. That’s why the MRC has marshaled its bias-fighting resources to expose, neutralize and break the Obama-media alliance. As we see in Wisconsin, we cannot give an inch.
