The Democratic Party propaganda machine, the Main Stream Media, is celebrating the Democratic win and claiming that it was a repudiation of twelve years of Republicans running the legislature. They are claiming a victory for their side. They seem to forget that the margins of majority are slim and Democrats are just as likely to cross the aisle on issues as Republicans are. The media claims that people were fed up with the war, a war they touted and then rebelled against; it is all about generating ad dollars, not truth.
The Media will now play up the Democratic agenda. They are already gearing up for all of the ineffectual hearings that will be televised to get their favorite Democrats mugs on the screens. The media are ecstatic and think that there will be a new era. They are touting history in the making. It demonstrates what I have always said before; it takes no education to be a member of the media.
There is a lot of hand shaking and romance going on between the White House and the Legislative leaders. Durbin and Reid smiled their reptilian smiles and made their phony promises of bi-partisanship. Durbin is my Senator. He is the epitome of the definition of snake oil salesman. We all know that Reid carries the stench of corruption but for some reason he is immune from any criticism.
Even, and this is a stretch, even if the leadership is serious, there are too many loose cannons who will have their hearings and bring the government to a standstill. Waxman is rubbing his hands with glee and is on the record as stating there will be hearings on what ever he decides. He is just one of many.
The Media cannot wait. They want the President to fall. The media is so corrupt and biased that they cannot contain themselves any longer. They are out and out advertising- they call it reporting or editorials- their victory. They are swooning and fawning over the winners like teenage school girls over teenage boys. They have turned Pelosi into a celebrity. Who knows, maybe they may give her a talk show.
We have a real problem in this country and it is not just the Democrats and the Liberals. It is our own media. They have taken on the mantle of watch dogs and overseers- of and only of Conservatives. They no longer report. They have no responsibility to be anything other than reporters- scribblers. They are not overseers and watchdogs. They are just mere reporters of facts. Let us never forget that.
They created a false aura and we fell for it. Let us start cleaning house by holding the media up to the same scrutiny they hold everyone else. A free press is a press free from bias. A free press is one that is free from dishonesty. A free press is one free from any agenda. A free press is just that free. We have a Democratic Party Press that is no longer free and we are enslaved by it. Our Constitution grants us rights with responsibilities. The media disregards the latter; they are irresponsible.
