The Media War!

This is a reoccurring theme with me, but it absolutely drives me nuts! You cannot get a straight news report about just about darn near anything. How does one go from calling a General... Be-trayed-us, to the new savior of the war on terror? How do you overlook the personality behind the climate change movement is heavily invested in the climate exchange, where carbon credits will be traded involving massive amounts of income, and yet focus on his alleged inappropriate behavior with a masseuse? What drives our media?

I have yet a better question. How do you expect our youth to respond when everything they see on the 'boob tube" is deceit? There is hardly a subject presented that doesn't have some kind of "spin" applied. How can we demand integrity and character from anyone subjected to this propaganda? The message they send is, if you don't like the tone, just tweak it a little so it fits your needs.

Television watchers are being led around by the nose! America's most trusted news source, can't be trusted! The word in print is an absolute farce! It's like bizarro world, our most reliable new source to date is the National Inquirer... A tabloid known for taking liberties with the truth for entertainment purposes, but this is the driving force behind exposing corruption in politics. Amazing!

Journalists used to ask..who, what, when, where, and why, now they simply plagiarize spoon fed press releases. The only light in this very dark tunnel seems to be Fox News, at least they present both sides of the issue and allow the viewer to make a decision. I'm not trying to be a shill for them, but the rest of the news reports are bordering on absurd. All the while their numbers are fading, and newsprint sources are facing declining readership, and bankruptcy. Here's a thought to increase revenue, try reporting the flipping truth. Then research the stories and ask those five questions and report your findings without bias. Do your stinking job!

God Bless!
