The American people are a political body, they are not just citizens.
One might be a citizen of a prison, so it is not the act of being a
citizen that gives them rights, their rights are derived from being part
of the political process. During election time the political body of
the American public is being lobbied by those holding seats on one side
of the aisle or the other. It is a political act, so when the media acts
not to inform that political body (the people), but to help one side or
the other become successful in their lobbying efforts, it has committed
a form of treason.
The cover-up of the reason for the assassination of the Ambassador to
Libya is among the most dastardly and un-American acts I have witnessed
the American media commit. We need the truth about American foreign
policy, we need the truth to make good decisions about our leadership.
The truth is that the attack on the Libyan and Egyptian embassies was
about 9/11, but more importantly to remind Barack Obama that no matter
how many bin Laden's he kills there will always be more. On the heels of
the Democratic Convention where having killed bin Laden was a major
theme to appeal to the independents who may be watching, we have this
attack on our embassies and there is NO connection in the media? Instead
it is some obscure video on YouTube?
Everyone knows that the media is in the tank for the Democrats, that
most supposed "news" organizations are mere propagandists for the
liberal cause and that is one of their justifications, i.e. "if you know
that, if it is widely understood, then that should be taken into
account as all other things political are taken into account." That they
present themselves as neutral observers is all part of the ruse.
In many discussions with liberty-minded folks and those who would act to
secure liberty, it is always pointed out that the greatest stumbling
block to action is how it will be portrayed by the media. There would be
no support for "freedom-fighters" in America by the American press.
Ever since the destruction of the Nixon Administration the media has
been emboldened to take on their powers with malice. I do not deny that
Nixon deserved to go, but if he did, so have many others on the liberal
side.
Obamacare will fall of its own weight, it is too big of a drag on an
economy already suffering from the liberal policies of both Democrats
and Republicans, but the media ignored its un-Constitutional provisions
and cheerleaded for the work-arounds. They forgot to mention all of the
waivers offered to large corporations which supported it. If that
doesn't say something, I don't know what does. Think about that for a
second: the companies and organizations who were the most vocal in
supporting Obamacare received waivers from it. Huh? That's not a story
most people would have had an interest in knowing?
The media is not just a stumbling block to liberty, it is an enemy
combatant against liberty. It is a supporter of the liberal dictator and
an enemy to the people for whom it claims to speak. The press is given
its freedom only so that it can better inform the populace, read any
discussion in the federalist papers on the issue and it becomes clear
that was the intent.
From my perspective, an agenda-driven media is the greatest enemy to
liberty. It is the most powerful and enduring political force in America
and should be recognized and treated as such. In any interview, this
should be made clear by the interviewee before answering questions. If
the political voices on the right were to preface each answer by
stating: "from your liberal perspective I can see the value of that
question, but here's the answer..." I think eventually the tie would be
made to them before the public that otherwise pays no attention, or does
not have the sophistication to understand the dynamic at play during
one of those interviews.
