Media Bias (for the umteenth time)
I have to wonder what it will take for our country to accept that media bias
exists.
Conservatives have no problem stating that they are conservatives and they
run their shows with no pretense of being anything else. They try to
provide information based on facts and certainly will not shy from showing
where they stand on any issue.
For the mainstream media to pretend that it is being objective and that they
don't try to slant the news to favor their candidates and their political
viewpoint is unfair at least and evil at worst. One poll showed that
journalists vote for Democrats five times more often than the average
American. Bruce Walker has a little more info on media bias here
http://www.opinionet.com/article.php?id=8. He names a few "documentaries"
where they released supposed facts that were false. Michael Moore has an
admitted political agenda to remove President Bush from office, yet the
media calls his filth "documentaries".
It is impossible for a person to say they don't have an opinion. We always
have opinions and they affect what we say or do. Some folks like Coke, some
like Pepsi. Some like both. But if you only like Coke you aren't going to
buy Pepsi and vice versa. So if you only like Democrats what are you going
to do with the news?
I believe the news agencies should police themselves. They should watch for
editorial or journalistic favor or disfavor to an individual or story. News
agencies that state their bias can feel free to do whatever they want of
course, after all, we are a free country. If agencies claim to be without
bias though, they should watch out that they don't try to influence American
opinion in any way. Opinion pieces have a place of course, on the opinion
page.
When the New York Times came out and stated they were endorsing Kerry for
president it was no surprise to anyone. Why not? If they're not bias
don't you think that people would wait with bated breath to see which
candidate they would support? It's laughable to think that. Most people
know where the New York Times and most news organizations stand. As Ann
says here
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=39813 "In a
front-page story the week the story broke, the Times accused the Bush
administration of leaking the news of the Berger investigation for cynical
political reasons - based on the Times' careful accretion of no facts
whatsoever". The story of the event itself was on page 16. The Times
protected their fellow Democrat. That's just one reason how the media is
dangerous for America. Of course, there are many more.
The media protects its own criminals and acts like Republicans are Satan
personified whenever they find something that can be fabricated into a front
page story. Take the Abu Ghraib incident as an example. The media used
this story week after week to bring President Bush's numbers down. What
did it have to do with President Bush? Nothing. They knew that anything
that could be negatively related to Iraq would be bad for President
Bush so they pushed it, day after day, week after week.
Why isn't it a story now? Because now we find out that Lynndie England was
a very sexual person and loved to role play and more...much more.
Unfortunately for the media, England turned out to be one of their "diverse"
darlings. As Cindy Lauper put it, "Girls just wanna have fun" and yes,
England had plenty of it.
The media wanted this to be a never ending torture story so it could give the appearance that our United States Military was more cruel and evil than the Iraqis whom we were fighting. They then wanted to follow the trail up to Donald Rumsfeld and eventually of course, to President Bush. The media and our Democrat representatives in Government constantly pull out the phrase "What did he know and when did he know it?". They did it after 9/11, even to the point of accusing President Bush of knowing ahead of time that 9/11 was going to happen but did nothing to stop it.
From Cynthia McKinney (D., GA)
"We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September
11th. . . . What did this administration know and when did it know it, about
the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the
innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? . . . What do they
have to hide?"
The media and Democrats feel free to throw accusations of the worst kind
without any proof. They never apologize when they're wrong, which is almost
all the time.
John Kerry told of the atrocities that he committed during the Vietnam war
but he's treated like a war hero, not the criminal that he was. His
admissions are scary:
"There are all kinds of atrocities and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I
committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have
committed in that I took part in shootings in free-fire zones. I conducted
harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50-caliber machine guns which we
were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people.
I took part in search-and-destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All
of this is contrary to the laws of warfare. All of this is contrary to the
Geneva Conventions and all of this ordered as a matter of written
established policy by the government of the United States from the top down.
And I believe that the men who designed these, the men who designed the
free-fire zone, the men who ordered us, the men who signed off the air raid
strike areas, I think these men, by the letter of the law, the same letter
of the law that tried Lieutenant Calley, are war criminals."
The media treats him as if he were an Alcoholic who has just said "Hi, I'm
John Kerry and I'm a war criminal" (media applause follows).
Democrats and the media (is there a difference?) call Republicans and
Conservatives liars all the time, even while they are the ones lying with
their accusations. They steal jewelry and then point to the person standing
next to them hollering "thief!". Then they walk away unnoticed as the
person they pointed at is being frisked.
All of their mockumenteries are meant to confuse and indoctrinate the
American people. A good example is the Reagan miniseries. CBS was going to
release a lying mocumentary about the Reagans. They figured that President
Reagan was incapable of defending himself so there was no way there would be
any considerable objection. They were wrong. Conservatives the world over
let CBS know that they didn't agree with their view of the Reagans. So the
show was pulled and it was over right? Wrong. They waited a couple of
weeks and snuck it on Showtime. Why did they do that? Why didn't they
broadcast that they were going to show it anyway? Because they didn't want
to bring out the furor again. Why did they run it? Because it probably
wouldn't have been eligible for the 7 Emmy nominations that it received.
Hopefully the only award that they get for that attempt to revise history
will be the one that they already got, the Bee Golden Turkey Award.
The media and the Democrats will kill us if we don't protect ourselves from
them. Their objectives are almost always political. Until ABC, CBS, NBC
and all the liberal news organizations come out and admit to their targeted
stories, Americans should deny them profit.
America, we have to acknowledge and confront the bias that comes out of our
media. We need to call and/or write the radio and TV stations, we need to call and/or write the newspapers.
We need to tell them that enough is enough and we want the truth!
