Sean Hannity

 

Dear Fellow American,

 

I hope you will read the enclosed letter from my good friend Brent Bozell carefully and give it your full consideration. I also hope you will join me today as a supporter of Brent's vital organization, the Media Research Center (MRC).

 

The MRC is the nation's most-respected conservative media watchdog organization. Their mission is to expose, counter and neutralize the liberal bias of the so-called "mainstream" media – and believe me, what the MRC does is a national treasure and a vital national resource!

 

Day-in and day-out, dozens of MRC staffers watch ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS and the liberal TV media and read The New York Times, The Washington Post, TIME and the liberal print media. They then pass on evidence of bias that they uncover to conservative talk show hosts and commentators like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin and, of course, me.

 

Through us (as well as their own website – www.mrc.org – and various blogs, newsletters and e-mail blasts) the MRC educates the public and its members about vital information on the reality and the dangers of leftist media bias to literally millions of Americans. They are, in essence, the "arsenal" of the conservative movement and God knows we need them, more now than ever.

 

As you read this note on behalf of the MRC, our nation is on guard against an evil radical Islamic movement that wants to kill every American and destroy our way of life. At home, our children are being bombarded daily by Hollywood and the music industry with pornography and violence. Students are being brainwashed at our nation's leading universities by liberal "blame-America first" professors. In Washington, liberal politicians are doing all they can to see that America loses the war on terror and adopts a defeatist, socialist agenda. Last, but not least, Americans are being fed a constant diet of anti-military, anti-business, anti-conservative, anti-Christian, anti-family propaganda from the liberal elite who dominate the national news media.

 

Rush, Ann, Mark, Michelle and I, along with other conservatives in the media, are fighting back each and every day. But, we can't do it alone. We need our audience. And we need the facts provided us by the Media Research Center.

 

So again, please, read the enclosed letter from Brent. Then join me and the MRC as we work together to fight back against the bias of the liberal media and its dangerous agenda for America.

 

Thank you for your time. God bless you. And may God bless our brave men and women in harm's way in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere in the war on terror.

 

Sincerely,

Sean Hannity

 

P.S. Just as we conservatives need and rely on the MRC, the MRC needs and relies on patriots like you. So please, don't sit on the sidelines. Join this fight for our way of life before it's too late.

OBAMACARE SHOCKERS:

Insurance premiums soaring • Massive policy cancellations

Growing shortage of Doctors • IRS snooping in your private medical records

 

"Ready for Obamacare to hire 16,500

new IRS agents to snoop in your

personal medical records?"

 

[2-2014 letter] Like a runaway train you can see coming but cannot stop, the WORST domestic policy disaster in U.S. history is in the process of devastating the health care of millions of Americans.

 

I'm talking about Obamacare -- the disastrous law that's already causing massive policy cancellations, soaring insurance premiums, doctor shortages and rationing of medical treatments.

 

But the real horror show will unfold over the next few months -- as the bulk of Obamacare takes effect in 2014. Instead of reporting this huge story, the Big 3 Networks are deliberately censoring the bad news on Obamacare.

 

Instead of fulfilling their role as watchdogs for the people, ABC, CBS and NBC are proving -- yet again -- that they're nothing more than lapdogs for the liberal policies of Barack Obama . . .  

 

I'm Brent Bozell. You might have seen me every Thursday night on Sean Hannity's "Media Mash" segment on his Fox News show.

 

If so, then you know the Media Research Center's sole mission is to expose and neutralize the liberal media's blatantly dishonest news coverage that crosses into leftist propaganda.

 

That's why I need your help to go over the heads of the liberal networks to warn the American people of this ongoing disaster.

 

I want you to sign the [requested] enclosed STOP CENSORING OBAMACARE COVERAGE NOW petition addressed to the boards of directors of the Big 3 broadcast networks.  

 

When the Board of Directors of ABC, CBS and NBC receive your petition -- along with the petitions of millions of other concerned Americans -- they will not be able to ignore us!

 

But for that to happen, I must get at least 150,000 signed STOP CENSORING OBAMACARE COVERAGE NOW petitions from conservatives like you as soon as possible.

 

With that many signatures, we can publicize these petitions and make the networks' censorship of Obamacare a national issue!

 

As a knowledgeable conservative, you realize that Obamacare -- the official name is laughably the Affordable Care Act . . .  

 

**  will cause health care to be less affordable . . .  

 

**  WILL RESULT IN MORE PEOPLE DYING OVER TIME -- due to delays in therapy . . .  

 

**  and, yes, because of death panels denying treatment to certain people deemed not worth it by the bureaucrats.

 

But now it's becoming clear that Obamacare will also be used to crush conservative opposition to Obama and the Left.

 

Sound crazy? It shouldn't, considering the current scandal of the IRS targeting Tea Party and conservative groups across the country.

 

The IRS has been purposely targeting and harassing conservatives. It's a complete abuse of power! And now the IRS is hiring as many as 16,500 new agents to enforce Obamacare. Americans would be horrified to know that, but most don't know it.

 

Why? Because the liberal media, led by the dominant Big 3 Broadcast Networks, are censoring this news from the public. Just like they won't report that the IRS is being sued for stealing the medical records of 10 million people in California. Think about that!

 

Obamacare still hasn't been fully implemented -- and the IRS has already been caught stealing the private medical records of Americans.

 

Starting this year, the IRS will have legal authority to start digging into your personal medical records . . .  and those of your doctor . . .  and then what will stop them from crosschecking your information with the data they've collected on Tea Party groups and conservative organizations?

 

Frankly, the very idea of such a thing scares me to death. I bet it does you, too. It would scare any sane person -- if they KNEW about it.

 

But Brian Williams, David Gregory, Diane Sawyer, George Stephanopoulos and the rest of the media's Obama fan club don't think it's worth reporting -- just like they're downplaying this bombshell:

 

Sarah Hall Ingram, who led the IRS division targeting Tea Party and conservative groups, has been promoted to head the IRS Obamacare office.

 

Promoted? Not FIRED?

 

That's why I need your signed STOP CENSORING OBAMACARE COVERAGE NOW petition today. We need to serve notice on ABC, CBS and NEC that we know what they're doing and won't stand for it!

 

When the boards of ABC, CBS and NBC get an avalanche of petitions from outraged citizens like you they will not be able to ignore our voices!

 

With such hardcore leftists in control of the media, who will make it clear that the Obama Administration has politicized the IRS to unprecedented proportions? And who will report to the American people the intimidation Obamacare will spark throughout the healthcare industry?

 

Let's say you're an executive of a pharmaceutical company seeking government approval for a new drug the company has spent millions developing.

 

You've also contributed to conservative causes, fighting to preserve our Constitutional freedoms for future generations.

 

Would the causes you're supporting -- or the fact you're NOT donating to leftist outfits like Obama's Organizing for America -- play any role in seeing approval for your company's new drug delayed or even denied entirely?

 

NO ONE CAN DENY THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS!

 

Moreover, many firms are being pressured to donate money to leftist causes to promote Obamacare as a "cost of doing business"! It's like someone paying Mafia thugs "protection money."

 

And pharmaceutical or health care companies aren't the only ones feeling the heat -- every business will be ripe for IRS abuse as the Obamacare rollout continues throughout 2014.

 

This has never in our history happened in the United States. It's the federal government completely out of control. Equally horrific, the tentacles of Obamacare will invade the lives of individuals in ways straight out of George Orwell.

 

Why, for example, does Obamacare "allow" doctors to ask patients if they own firearms? Is this some kind of backdoor ploy for Obama's Chicago Gang now running D.C. to compile a national gun registry?

 

As you can see, the questions about the consequences of Obamacare as it fully takes effect this year are endless.

 

But the biggest question I have is this: Why aren't ABC, CBS and NBC asking the Obama Administration any of these questions? Why aren't Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer and Scott Pelley telling their viewers what I've told you in this letter?

 

Of course, the answer is because the Big 3 Broadcast Networks and CNN and The New York Times and MSNBC are devout allies of Barack Obama. They're willing co-conspirators in his quest to turn our Constitutional Republic into a European style socialist welfare state. And nationalizing America's health care system is Number 1-A on their list of action items.

 

That's why the networks won't cover the scandal of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius shaking down private insurance companies -- soliciting donations from them for Enroll America, a leftwing activist group promoting Obamacare.

 

Have you ever seen such brazen, boldfaced corruption? Yet the broadcast networks report barely a peep.

 

The MRC has been working overtime tracking and documenting the media's censorship of the truth about Obamacare. With your help we'll continue to educate the American public about censorship of negative stories about Obamacare:

 

****  When the Obamacare rollout caused nearly six million Americans to lose individual health plans they liked, and saw the Obamacare website crash and burn, NBC barely mentioned it -- at one stretch going for 96 hours without mentioning Obamacare at all! 

 

****  When NBC brought MSNBC's Chris Matthews on the Today show to finally discuss the Obamacare train wreck, he blamed Republicans for Obamacare's ongoing failures -- even though the GOP had no role in crafting or implementing the law.

 

****  When Dr. Ben Carson revealed that the IRS audited him for the first time after criticizing Obamacare in front of the president at a National Prayer Breakfast -- ABC, CBS and NBC never uttered a word about this stunning intimidation.

 

****  When Obama's promises that Americans could keep their insurance plans and doctors was shown to be a lie, and his poll numbers plunged to levels last seen under Richard Nixon, the Big 3 Networks covered for him . . .  

 

NBC's Chuck Todd pooh-poohed Obama's lies by saying, "Well, it was impossible to keep that promise . . .  it set a false set of expectations."

 

And ABC's Jim Avila spun the president's deceit by saying, "Some called it a lie because 15 million Americans may, in fact lose the cheap, underperforming insurance they have now, [but] even if this was oversold, the uninsured will be better off under Obamacare."

 

With examples like the above piling up almost daily, that's proof positive of deliberate censorship by ABC, CBS and NBC.

 

Now you understand why I need you to sign the [requested] enclosed STOP CENSORING OBMACARE COVERAGE NOW petition today. I need patriotic conservatives like you to help me fight back against the networks' censoring the truth about Obamacare.

 

How it's costing workers their jobs . . .  how it will raise taxes astronomically . . .  how it will dramatically lower the quality of medical care across the country . . .  how it will mean more patients will die needless deaths due to delays in receiving care and even denial of care . . .  

 

. . .  and how Obamacare will unleash Third World levels of corruption and cronyism in America . . .  

 

. . . and how it will threaten conservatives with a politicized IRS snooping around in their private medical records.

 

ABC, CBS and NBC have proven they will not report any of this to the public. So we must go over the heads of the networks' newsrooms and talk directly to their Boards of Directors.

 

That's where your signed STOP CENSORING OBAMACARE COVERAGE NOW petition comes in.

 

If I can get at least 150,000 conservatives like you to return these petitions this week, we will make the networks' censorship of Obamacare a national issue!

 

And please, when you sign your enclosed petition, I urge you to also send the most generous contribution you can to the Media Research Center today.

 

The MRC has the capability to mobilize and educate the public on the facts -- despite the broadcast networks' refusal to do their job and report the truth to their viewers.

 

To do this I need your contribution today to help the MRC continue tracking the output of ABC, CBS and NBC in both their morning and evening newscasts, including every instance of outright censorship of the facts about Obamacare.

 

In addition to keeping tabs on the Big 3 Broadcast Networks, your gift will help us track the output of cable channels CNN and MSNBC, public broadcasters PBS and NPR, major left-wing papers like The New York Times and Washington Post, and online sites such as The Politico, BuzzFeed and Huffington Post.

 

When you consider that the MRC's reach -- through our popular websites CNSNews.com and NewsBusters, mentions and appearances on TV, radio and in print, Facebook and Twitter postings, and emails and grassroots activism -- averages 168.8 million impressions every week on the eyes, ears, hearts and minds of Americans . . .  

 

. . . you can see that your gift today could play a decisive role in telling Americans the truth about Obamacare.

 

In the past the MRC's achievements have helped propel our movement:

 

·        When the MRC was founded independent polls found that 8-in-1 Americans thought the media reported the news accurately and fairly. But by 2003 89 percent of the American people believed the media were giving them subjective opinion rather than objective truth -- and a recent Rasmussen Poll finds that just six percent of Americans have strong confidence in the media's reporting.

 

·        In 2004, the MRC's CNSNews.com conclusively proved that Dan Rather and CBS used phony documents in an attempt to discredit President Bush. "Rathergate" led to Dan Rather's eventual resignation.

 

·        In 2012, NBC News dishonestly edited a conversation between George Zimmerman and a 9-1-1 operator to make it sound as if Zimmerman suspected Trayvon Martin of wrongdoing because he was black. As the MRC's NewsBusters blog documented, however, what NBC deliberately edited out was that it was the 9-1-1 operator who asked about Martin's race. The MRC's revelation exposed Big Media's anti-white race baiting and changed national perceptions of the Trayvon Martin shooting.

·        Just last year CNN's Piers Morgan falsely claimed Virginia had the highest murder rate in the country to support his anti-gun advocacy. It was an MRC staffer, Matt Hadro, who exposed the lie on our award winning blog, Newsbusters.org, forcing Piers Morgan to issue an on-air correction.

 

But don't just take my word for how hard we'll fight on your behalf.

 

As Rush Limbaugh himself has said, "Brent Bozell and the MRC provide a most precious commodity -- a quest for the truth . . .  MRC is a vital national interest."

 

And in the note that he has been kind enough to ask me to enclose, Sean Hannity says, "Day-in and day-out, dozens of MRC staffers watch ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS and the liberal TV media and read The New York Times, the Washington Post, the liberal print media. They then pass on evidence of bias that they uncover to conservative talk show hosts and commentators like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin and, of course, me."

 

I'm sure you agree, we must warn the country about the liberal media's censorship of the signs pointing to a catastrophic failure for Obamacare. Waiting until all of Obamacare's mandates kick-in at the end of 2014 will be much, much too late.

 

So please send your generous tax-deductible contribution of $25, $35, $50, $75, $100 or even $500 right now.

 

And, if you respond in the next 45 days, your generous gift to the MRC will be DOUBLED in value.

 

That's because a wealthy benefactor of the MRC will donate $3 million to fight liberal media lies and censorship it I can get conservatives like you to contribute another $3 million in the next 45 days.

 

This means your gift of $25, $35, $60, $75, $100, $500 or more will be matched dollar-for-dollar -- DOUBLING the value of your contribution.

 

Meeting this matching gift challenge will put a total of $6 million -- that's SIX MILLION DOLLARS -- to work exposing the leftwing media deliberately hiding the bad news about Obamacare from the American people.

 

Every dollar you can spare makes a difference -- and will go twice as far when you rush your best gift right away.

 

And, when mailing your generous contribution today, please be sure to sign the enclosed STOP CENSORING OBAMACARE COVERAGE NOW petition and return it along with your urgent gift.

 

Your Petition is addressed to the Boards of Directors of ABC, CBS and NBC. It puts them on notice that you know they are censoring the bad news about Obamacare, and demands they immediately start reporting the truth.

 

What's more, your signed Petition tells the networks that you're taking action through the MRC to give the American people the facts about this disastrous law. Most of all, time is crucial.

 

Please rush me your generous contribution and your signed STOP CENSORING OBAMACARE COVERAGE NOW petition today. Thanks so much.

 

Urgently,

Brent Bozell

Founder & President

 

P.S.    You and I must not let the Big 3 Networks get away with censoring the bad news about Obamacare. We must go over and around the networks to tell Americans the truth ourselves – and ONLY the Media Research Center can do it!

 

Please rush me your generous contribution of $25, $35, $50, $75, $100 or even $500 along with your signed STOP CENSORING OBAMACARE COVERAGE NOW petition immediately.

 

Remember, the MRC's patriotic benefactor will match your dollar-for-dollar -- DOUBLING the value of any contribution you send TODAY!

(Sample)

STOP CENSORING OBAMACARE COVERAGE NOW PETITION!

 

Petition to:  

Board of Directors: ABC News, Upper West Side, Manhattan, New York City, NY

Board of Directors: CBS News, CBS Broadcast Center, New York City, NY

Board of Directors: NBC Universal, Midtown Manhattan, New York City, NY

 

As a concerned American, I'm outraged that your network news organizations have deliberately censored the bad news about Obamacare and the devastating impact it will have on our nation's economy and our citizens' privacy. The brazen lack of integrity and the blatant abuse of power by your networks in NOT reporting these stories are unprecedented and unconscionable.

 

Here are some examples of your censorship, as documented by the Media Research Center:

 

***  When the Obamacare rollout caused nearly six million Americans to lose individual health plans they liked, and saw the Obamacare website crash and burn, NBC barely mentioned it -- at one stretch going for 96 hours without mentioning Obamacare at all!

 

***  When NBC brought MSNBC's Chris Matthews on the Today show to finally discuss the Obamacare train wreck, he blamed Republicans for Obamacare's ongoing failures -- even though the GOP had no role in crafting or implementing the law.

 

***  When Dr. Ben Carson revealed that the IRS audited him for the first time after criticizing Obamacare in front of the president at a National Prayer Breakfast -- ABC, CBS and NBC never uttered a word about this stunning intimidation.

 

***  When Obama's promises that Americans could keep their insurance plans and doctors was shown to be a lie, and his poll numbers plunged to levels last seen under Richard Nixon, the Big 3 Networks covered for him...

 

NBC's Chuck Todd pooh-poohed Obama's lies by saying, "Well, it was impossible to keep that promise... it set a false set of expectations."

 

And ABC's Jim Avila spun the president's deceit by saying, "Some called it a lie because 15 million Americans may, in fact lose the cheap, underperforming insurance they have now, [but] even if this was oversold, the uninsured will be better off under Obamacare."

 

Your track record of utter failure in covering Obamacare is shameful and I demand, in the strongest possible terms, that you immediately order your journalists and news editors to start giving this important issue the fair and full coverage it deserves.

 

What's more, I'm putting you on notice that I'm supporting the Media Research Center's efforts to go over and around your networks to give the American people the facts about Obamacare, and the looming crisis it presents for our economy and Constitutional liberties.

 

Sincerely,
