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.

(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

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,
Signed:_____________________________ Date:____________
