As we are witnessing great social and economic turmoil in our country, many of us look to the news as a source of unbiased information regarding the events of the day. This is not unusual in a free society, and we should have every expectation of impartiality on the part of those who bring us that news. Unfortunately, it appears we are now seeing the long rumored Liberal/Progressivism of the main stream press charging out unfettered from the Journalistic “closet”. In fact listening to softball questions presented to the President by the likes of Steve Croft of “60 Minutes” and Sam Stein of “The Huffington Post”, only reinforces the notion that it’s unlikely 44 will ever have to fully explain his Presidency until after it’s concluded, and maybe not even then.
Truth be told, the relationship between many so-called journalists and Mr. Obama, is about as annoying as those two kids next to you on “the T” who won’t stop mugging it up. It seems they are hell bent on the manifestation of that anti-establishment dream they cultivated as pimple faced, socially challenged sophomores in college. The problem is they are being manipulated by the very source of Chris Matthew’s leg “tingling”, and played for the sycophant fools by a master community organizer and Socialist puppeteer. Inevitably, it is “We the People” who must go far beyond the remote control in order to get to the truth. For some this is a jumping off point and for others a call to action on behalf of our kids. Nevertheless, the ideological war is heating up and folks are choosing sides. I just never envisioned the main stream media on one side or the other.
