Mass Media

Well, it is the day after the big hurricane, Irene, was supposed to go right through Times Square. The media coverage of this non-event was continuous and relentless. Even those Sunday morning news shows like Meet the Press and This week with whoever, spent almost the entire program covering a event that did not happen. Was there nothing else going on in the world? The whole thing turned out to be a big rainfall which did cause flooding but not the catastrophe that the media was hoping to happen.

And yes, I do mean hoping to happen. There's nothing better for ratings  to be on TV 24 hours a day ,reporting on some event that they all take up collectively. The similarity of the reporting is also disturbing to me. We all think that CNN,ABC,NBC and all the rest of the TV media are different companies. But they seem to have the same producers. Switching to different channels during news times, it is amazing that they all are coving the same story ,at the same time, interviewing the same person.


Remember the Bird flu and the,what did they call it, h1n1 something and many more scare campaigns that you can think of. It is getting to the point that you cannot believe most of what you hear and see on TV news.

Remember some years ago when, I think it was NBC magazine show,  they were doing a segment on a roll over truck. When filming the test, they couldn't get the truck to roll over naturally, so they rigged it to roll over. Then presented as proof that the truck was unsafe.  You can goggle it.

And they are so overwhelming democratic it is embarrassing. I don't have to give examples here of their bias, any honest person has to see it , even if you are a Democrat.

The strange thing is, when I debate these liberals and I bring up what I think are facts and intelligent reasoning, they say I must watch Fox News. Well, first of all, I can't afford cable and the liberals have ABC, NBC, CBS,MSNBC,CNN plus the bible of all liberalism ,The New York Times and many more.Plus Hollywood.

Did anyone see Avatar. I saw it on tape and the not so subliminal message it was sending is that America is the bad guys and the whole world should unite against it. So heavy handed , but the $400,000,000 price for the great visuals fools people into thinking they are watching something that has relevance in their lives or are they trying rile people up against the man.

So, when I try to contradict them their only retort is that I watch Fox News. It is because they listen to nothing but Liberal news and the facts that I bring up, they never heard before.And if they have never heard that info or thought through their own reasoning than who am I to contradict their mantra. Dictated to them by academics, that they feel are superior to them, than I must be a heretic, a reactionary, why I may even be a racist. To them, all things are possible if one deviates, even slightly, from  atheistic socialism.

Now most people that go along with this mentality, never heard of atheistic socialism, they go along because that is the cool thing to do. All the big movie stars and entertainers are almost all unapologetic liberals. Although their attitude has changed since the Viet Nam war. During VN, the liberals condemned the military and everyone that served. When I got out of the Navy in 1968, I had to lie to women where I had been for the last 4 tears otherwise she would turn away from me and call me a baby killer. It's nice to hear even liberals say to military, thank you for your service.

There was one actor that comes to mind ,Ron Silver.
Ron had a great acting career going , he would do a Broadway show and then a major part in a major movie. Ron was considered a Hollywood liberal until 9/11. He had said , that event changed his mind on many things and he supported Bush during the Iraq war. I don't know if it is a coincident but his career seemed to nosedive after that, didn't work as much and died a few years later. Maybe he just should have kept his mouth shut. I know I should have.

Well, that's all for now, please feel free to comment
