The Year Journalism Died

If you are a Conservative, you know that journalism among the Mainstream Media (MSM) in America has been dying a slow, steady and painful death. This election year is the year that it breathed its last. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC not to mention almost every major newspaper and news magazine operate solely as the PR arm of the Democratic party and even more specifically of the the Obama Campaign. Knowing that our readers are not "mind-numbed robots" I will give examples.

This morning when I opened Drudge Report to check on the status of the Bailout Bill, I saw the headline, "VP Debate Moderator Releasing 'Age of Obama' Book on Inauguration Day". Now, that my friends, is unbiased journalism. Charlie Gibson grilled Sarah Palin on the "Bush Doctrine" (and it is now known that there is no singular Bush doctrine) while asking Obama how his parents met and how Obama dealt with being abandoned by his father. Obama's gaffes are numerous and hilarious but never mentioned in the MSM. (For example, did I miss the addition of 7 additional states to our union? Oh, I forgot, he was just tired.) Joe Biden is a gaffe machine and the RNC website actually has a Biden Gaffe Clock tracking the date and time of his gaffes. Did the MSM call into question Joe's competence for his outrageous comments on coal, FDR, being shot at in Iraq and countless other comments?

Far more important than the numerous gaffes are the numerous position changes made only to win the election. Of course, the MSM applies the "Flip Flop" charge only to to those who have an "R" behind their name. Obama is portraying himself as a fiscal conservative and no one in the MSM is challenging him. Obama is a socialist liberal and his voting record, work history and plans for America all show it to be so. Obama is portraying himself as strong on national defense. Please review his speech on the 10 ways he plans to obliterate our national defense including massive decreases in military spending across the board, including missile defense. Obama is portraying himself as tough on foreign policy when he has said that Iran is tiny country that poses no serious threat. Obama is portraying himself as moderate centrist when he has the most liberal voting record in the Senate and has closely associated himself throughout his adult life with radicals.

So when the MSM attacks Sarah Palin in their search and destroy missions, I have to laugh at the intensity of their hatred for her and how striking the lack of substance in the attack. So Sarah Palin could not name three (additional) pieces of legislation sponsored by Senator McCain - Obama is unaware of the very nature of evil, the failure of socialism globally, the deterring effect of a strong military, and the enduring promise of individual liberty free from government tyranny. I'll take my chances with Sarah.

I am almost 64 years old. I have watched since the 1960s as the media became our country's worst enemy. This year, the death of unbiased and truthful journalism on TV and in print has come to past. We can officially call ourselves a socialistic country, not a democracy, and now probably well on the way to communism. Who owns the property in Moscow? The government does and the current bail out program with regard to Fannie and Freddie makes the Feds the owners of not only bad loans, but the homes themselves when they go into foreclosure. And, who can we thank for this? None other than Bill Clinton and his administration who pushed and pushed for legislation that would promote loans to minorities, who in fact could not afford the homes, but were told they could. This whole thing stinks to high heaven. Without intervention from our Lord on High, we could be seeing the last of what we know of the United States of America over the next three months. Please, do not sit out the election and be sure to encourage others to vote. We should be praying fervently every day that God will have mercy on our country even though as a nation, it is undeserved. The Democrats, ACLU and other organizations have been quite successful in throwing God out of our country. It was once said that all it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. May God Bless America!
