MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

LINCOLN REAGAN DINNER 2008       

The members of the Central Committee thank all who attended our April 24th Lincoln Reagan Dinner at Martin’s Westminster.

The food was great; the price was reasonable; but the speaker was nothing short of fantastic.  We’ve received numerous emails saying that this was the best Lincoln Reagan dinner of the year, and we, the members of the Central Committee are justifiably proud.

Our speaker was Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center.  If you watch Fox News, you have seen him frequently.  If you don’t watch Fox News, now is the time to start watching.

When you hear reports that the coverage the networks give Obama is 95% favorable, the coverage of Clinton is 80% favorable, and for McCain, 10% are favorable. Have you ever wondered where these reports come from? It is Brent Bozell and his staff at the MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER that does the research to report on these stats.  Brent pointed out a number of interesting points when he answered questions.  Here are two examples.

• When watching Tom Brokaw, a streamer across the bottom of the screen would say, “Tom Brokaw is the leading commentator on network news.”  What it did not say is that he only had 17% of the audience.
• Liberals criticize FOX NEWS as being too conservative.  Here’s a statistic that is irrefutable. “FOX NEWS has more certified LIBERALS on its paid TV staff than all the other networks have conservatives COMBINED.  Yes, it’s true.  When you add up all the conservatives that are paid TV staff on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC, there are more liberals employed on FOX NEWS.

After the dinner ended, Mr. Bozell greeted people and signed copies of his latest book “WHITEWASH, What the Media Won’t Tell You About Hillary Clinton; But Conservatives Will”. Many dinner guests lined up to have their picture taken with him without having to pay extra for a VIP event.  What a deal?
