Here's a rather humorous and, oddly, concise litany of the things Nancy Pelosi feels she needs to protect, and so has announced she will run for minority leader...
Let me get this straight. We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president who also smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke.
Palin cries foul? You betcha! This is what the so-called mainstream media have devolved to. Any pretense of objectivity is just that, a pretense. We've known it for years, but I must say I find is incredibly gratifying to see the masks finally come off-- Halloween adding a bit of irony to the mix --even though this latest incident isn't the first.
Personally, I am tired of the morally corrupt Left. So here are some questions to consider...
What is the media, and why does the average American accept their word for anything? Are individual members of media better educated? Better informed? More trustworthy? Is there anything remotely elite about their position, their understanding, their grasp of stark facts and nuance?
For myself, the media, first and foremost are ideologues and ratings whores (with obvious exceptions), and the average American is lazy (with obvious exceptions). Members of media are neither better educated, nor better informed, when the average American opens his eyes and mind to personal responsibility; a man who takes responsibility for the direction of his life and community educates himself, not relying on anyone he doesn't know to tell him what to think or believe. And the media are clearly not trustworthy, as this incident alone proves; though countless others have already iced that cake.
Many on the left would and do esteem the media (left-leaning liberal media) as elite and therefore 'better' than the average American in intellect, but the reality could not be further from the truth. Especially in terms of objectivity, and for this they are not to be trusted.
Palin is right to be outraged. We ALL should. Because media has bent over backward to prop up a president to the exclusion of sense and sensibilities, at the expense of truth and honesty.
The leftist media are liars. They want us to believe their point of view is the majority view... it is not. They want us to believe that they are paragons of virtuous motive... when they aren't. They want us to believe they have this nation's best interest at heart.
Liars! Bastards all!
Why such harsh language? Anything not born of truth is a bastardization of truth. And we've had enough of that to last our lifetimes. In roughly 230 years we have come full circle back to where this nation began; a plutarchy wherein the wealthy rules for the wealthy.
This is Obama's vision of America. Under the guise of making the American dream 'more fair' he is in fact establishing a ruling class. And like soviet Russia, everyone not 'in the club' become members of the new American serfdom.
If only the media did the job they purport to doing. There might be a bit of honesty in the so-called mainstream media. But as things currently stand. There is not honesty. Only bastards. The illegitimate fitz-spawn of Edward R. Murrow.
