Say It Ain't So!

The liberal faction of this country completely understands that to control a nation, you need to control the media. It's not hard to see that they have had a design for a long time. After the McCarthy era they took to gaining control of the universities and colleges. They taught the journalism classes that graduated the media celebrities and their writers we watch and read for our daily does of propaganda. But it's even more complicated than just that....

Back in the day, Mom and Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa took in the nightly news and enjoyed the snippets of information passed to them through the television and radio broadcasts. Yearning for more information, they then scoured the newspaper for the "rest of the story." In today's uninformed world our youth seeks their news from a cable comedian,(Jon Stewart). We've become so lazy that our information has to come in a form of entertainment, which we then swallow as Gospel.

Take for instance Al Gore's work of fiction, "An Inconvenient Truth." This box office favorite was how most of the world learned of the global warming crisis. We were too lazy to seek the truth ourselves, we had to be entertained and amused into learning. Then this media sensation full of perverted and misconstrued science was accepted into being fact. Meanwhile old Al took his share to the bank and prepared to profit from his self invented crisis.

Then we have left wing movie producer Michael Moore, again more works of fiction played off as documentaries and accepted as truth. Fahrenheit 9/11 was simply a personal attack on the Bush administration, but yet it was how a large percentage of the nation got it's information about the state of the union.

He wasn't done yet, Mr Moore then decided to promote universal health care by producing the documentary ,"Sicko." Can you call a pack of lies and 1/2 truths a documentary? None the less, again it was the source of far too many for their information on healthcare.

Now balance that out with the three major news outlets on mainstream TV are run and staffed with screaming left wing reporters, trained by those liberal professors who've over run our learning institutions. Then consider all but one cable news network shares that same political view, and makes no bones about trying to influence opinion. Add in that most every newspaper and magazine in our great nation is also left leaning,(to be kind), and basically we are bombarded by liberal propaganda almost non-stop and daily. It's how our president got elected, while the conservative candidate stood looking like a deer in headlights as the media defamed him and the electorate passed him by.

All the while the left is trying to get the FCC to silence talk radio, control the Internet, and end broadcasts of Fox News. Why, you ask? Because their reporting is in direct conflict with the propaganda they spew everyday. Here's the funny part, with all that firepower they cannot compete. Almost every left wing faction of media is on the verge of bankruptcy, from the newspapers to the magazines, to Air America, (the out of business left wing talk radio station), to the mainstream TV stations.

Sara Palin, Fox News, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and the rest of the conservative media thrive because some people still seek the truth. The want to learn rather than be entertained and lied to. But I still fear for our youth, they need to learn to seek the truth, not listen to a comedian for their news source. Also our right to freedom of speech is under attack, and unless we make our voices heard on issues like net neutrality etc, it can be lost.

Al Sharpton has the right to ask that Rush Limbaugh be silenced, but he doesn't have the right to do it. Senators like Jay Rockefeller from West Virginia can suggest Fox News and other cable networks be taken off the air, but that just exposes his agenda, to walk all over our right to free speech, and freedom of the press. We need to respond to these assaults by being loud and being heard, and being present when it comes time to vote!

God Bless!
