If journalists don’t start asking the “Occupy Wall Street” thugs about Barack Obama pushing through the 3 “evil” free trade agreements that George Bush couldn’t get passed because they would hurt “American Jobs”, it is just journalistic malpractice.
It’s pretty clear the Occupy Wall Street folks are mostly union members and rent-a-mobs paid for by the unions – the same people who stood on the stage next to H Ross Perot opposing NAFTA 20 years ago.
Journalists have sold their souls. One of the reasons I believe we hare headed for armed conflict is that journalists, the judiciary so many levers of the checking and balancing act are now anti-freedom, anti-personal responsibility, anti-God and anti-American. My employees thinking I am joking when I say that I’m in the final quarter of my life – I’m looking to God with more interest than this world. You guys have the long term stake in this world’s future, take an interest.
Recently, Fox News (at least on Radio) is sounding increasingly like CNN, living up to my warnings not to get emotionally invested with them as your news source. They seem to be on board promoting the “Occupy” movement, speek positively about the US Treasury bailing out Europe, admire President Obama’s militarism and seem to enjoy destroying the Republican 2012 candidates.
Perhaps it is just there are no journalists available with a skeptical view of Obama, perhaps it is sponsor boycotts, maybe the government has Fox by the gonads – or maybe we are finding out the real agenda
All of the above.
Journalists are what they are, in the end — arrogant, smug, cocksure, know-it-all, unfulfilled, often bitter. I left the disingenuous herd long, long ago for those reasons. They don’t lie; they manipulate for the endorphin highs of “changing the world” … all for the better, of course. Trust absolutely none of them. None.
