The plain, simple, shamefully obvious fact is that our mainstream media has become a public relations appendage of the Democrat Party. Their partisan bent and pitiful hypocrisy has become standard operating procedure and they show no inclination whatsoever of hiding it. Instead, they parade about as if it a badge of honor. They have utterly destroyed a once-honorable and essential element of our nation’s culture and society.
Three
recent episodes in American life have effectively exposed them as
charlatans. The first episode was the
Russia Hoax that was perpetrated by Obama administration holdovers in the Deep
State against (first) candidate
Donald Trump and (then) President
Donald Trump. Their second episode of
selling out the public trust was their foolish actions taken while serving as
useful idiots in the efforts of public Covid autocratic dictates. And now comes the third episode; perhaps the
most damning and dangerous of them all.
With the details of the corrupt Biden Family Enterprises continuing to
leak out on a daily basis, the mainstream media continues to spend essentially
all of their time and resources pounding on an ex-president who is currently
running for his party’s nomination. Rather than focusing on the man who is the
current President of our country and serves as the Chief Executive of our
entire government, they choose to chase their white whale as bounty hunters for the Democrat Party. This article states it rather clearly: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-political-press-covers-for-the-bidens/
When
it comes to being uniformly informed about current events in an objective and
non-partisan fashion, we are typically our own worst enemies. We all want to receive confirmation on our
own personal beliefs and naturally go to those news sources that feed that
desire. We all exist in environmental
bubbles that create a comfort zone
for us. There was once a time…not too
long ago…when the mainstream media thought it was their obligation and ethical
mission to rock our comfort zones…to present to us all the sides of an issue
and make us consider opinions that were contrary to our own.
Unfortunately,
those days are past us now. The
mainstream media has sold its collective soul to the political devil and serves
as little more than a marketing division for the Democrat Party. If we as citizens of America today want to
get a thorough and accurate picture of current events, then we must take ourselves out of our comfort zones. We must occasionally abandon our personal
beliefs and opinions and venture into internet and commercial news providers
that are contrary to our normal routines.
This blog makes a feeble attempt to present a balanced approach to
current events; but it is pointless to deny that my sentiments are clearly and
stubbornly conservative. I try to tend
towards the middle and occasionally cross over, but I no doubt fail to do that
adequately.
It
is a damn shame that the once highly-respected and regarded mainstream
media…the so-called Fourth Estate…has given up the effort required to maintain
the trust and credibility that it once held and which is critical to informing
a responsible citizenry. The simple
truth is that it takes a lot of time and effort for an individual who is
dealing with the myriad demands of daily living to inform themselves about the
truth that surrounds them. And the fact
is that most folks simply give up in the face of those demands and settle down
comfortably in their personal
informational bubbles. To a large
extent, this is the reason why we now have an inefficient, incompetent, and
very corrupted/corruptible government in our country.
Where
this all leads is anyone’s guess, but I can assure you one certainty: Our government is fundamentally incapable of
policing itself. That is why our
founders designed it to be…by the people
and for the people. If the people refuse to step up and do their
part, then exactly who is to blame
for the mess that ensues? On to the
news……………
First
off…why not follow up on the previous theme: The miserable mainstream media and their contemptible behavior. After all I have written about them, I
will add only one more brief observation: They must be the easiest folks on the
planet to Christmas shop for. All you have to do is buy them a mirror so
that can admire themselves…even more.
The
mainstream media is fixating on one thing
and totally ignoring another. Let us consider the shiny object that is
consuming them…Donald Trump’s third
indictment.
Actual text of the indictment:

dive into that story that the mainstream media would prefer NOT to discuss; the one that they mostly
ignore and on rare occasions simply brush off as business as usual. Let us now read a bit about how filthily
corrupt our current President is…

If
any reasonable person has been paying attention to the previous two news topics,
they can harbor little doubt that there
is a dual justice system existing in America today. There is one for the rich and powerful and there is another for
everyone else.

Beginning
with the first Obama Administration, our government and its awesome powers have
taken a dangerous turn towards undermining our individual rights, freedoms, and
enjoyment of privacy. If you do not believe that government
censorship, invasion of privacy, and efforts towards disinformation are
real...then you are naïve beyond description.

There are many people who have
benefited from making what is generically referred to as “racism” into a
cottage industry.
Those same folks…best described as
race hustlers… have seized onto the concepts of diversity and equity in an
effort to expand their personal influence and fortunes. It is tragic that these self-serving and
radical pursuits have resulted in tremendous harm to a lot of Americans, a
large percentage of them being the ones the actions were “designed” to benefit. It is
even more tragic that much of this inflammatory action and rhetoric comes from
people in positions of trust and authority who actually have the potential to
speak truth to power and change these situations in a positive way.

Obama
and Biden took a bad situation and made it immeasurably worse. What is that situation? It is the shameful taxing, spending, and fiscal
management exhibited by our government since the mid-90s. It
is incredible to recall that at one time…the mid-90s…under Democrat President
Bill Clinton and a Republican Congress, this nation actually had a balanced
federal budget. Has that notion now
become an unachievable dream? Has the
Democrat philosophy of “tax and spend”
become the law of the land in WDC? Has Congress
completely lost touch with the concept of fiscal responsibility?

When we consider the hot mess that
our national elections have become, it seems reasonable to say that the problem
is not with the product, but rather
with the process. Are we making any headway towards addressing
that issue?
