Defenders Of The Public Trust?

Our media has been sold to us as our eyes and ears on the Government, our protection against malfeasance in office in addition to providing us with the NEWS of the day. Those days are gone forever.

Recently a forum of journalists actually voted on whether they should be mandated to tell us both sides of a particular story or controversy. A majority actually voted against this concept. Their explanations were as hairbrained as their votes.

They claim that Fox News simply repeats the Republican talking points. Have you noticed the words and even the phrasing and headlines are almost identical from paper to paper, station to station and program to program as they present their side of any particular story. Remember “Gravitas”?

Their headlines bemoaned the fact that levels of Mercury above that authorized by the FDA were found in some Tuna and Swordfish. Yet nary a word about the Mercury levels in the cfl bulbs they’ve mandated. Have you seen the instructions
for cleaning up after one of these happens to break?

The USA Today banners “Nonsense about death panels’ springs back to life”.
While they ignore the FACT that the FDA currently condemns Terminally Ill patients to death by denying them access to experimental drug testing programs.
They also overlook the Fact that every country with socialized healthcare is forced to withhold many end of life treatments from patients simply because of their costs.

“Let’s Grow Our Own Fuel” They praised the use of Ethanol and even provided subsidies for people to grow corn for this con job. Then they ignored the fact that the price of corn went through the roof increasing the cost of feed for cattle causing beef prices to increase. And I haven’t even got to the byproducts yet.

In spite of the fact that people can’t find a job they kept parroting Obama’s Summer of Recovery wishful thinking slogan.

Now that the republicans are determined to repeal Obama’s Health Care monstrosity were seeing a barrage of headlines supporting this job killing, budget busting piece of garbage. “Law’s impact on jobs likely to be modest”.”Vitriol eases on health care law” “Calling health law a job killer doesn’t necessarily make it so” Poll says opposition to health care law is softer” etc., etc. All of the reputable pollsters tell us that 60% of Americans want it REPEALED!

Here’s an even better one “Obama’s ratings surge as voters optimism rises”. Under what rock did they find these optimists.

Have you noticed the full page ads, often 2 or 3 per edition, running in most Daily newspapers, “Buying your Gold, Silver& Platinum. Or the outfit that sends you an envelope for you to send them your precious metal items and they’ll send you what it’s worth. In spite of the fact that Consumer groups are warning us that people are receiving a pittance compared to what their items are actually worth, the prostitutes in the media turn a blind eye to these claims. One such ad claims to offer you a minimum of $12.00 for $1.00 Silver coins minted prior to 1935. What a deal, since the silver content of that coin is going for about $30.00.

In short, integrity in Journalism is a DEAD issue. Some say the media is biased. I don’t believe that at all. The problem is that the Elites in media share a belief in the Progressive Agenda and see no legitimate reason for bringing you anything other than progressive propaganda.
