News Not fit to Print

I would find it comical if it wasn't so sad the way the media behaves as though they're the only ones in the know all the time keeping the people out of the know. Most especially Fox News who set themselves up as "Fair and Balanced". the problem is they feel that fair and balanced prohibits them from reporting new facts. Facts do not require two sides. What they do instead is report news opinion. Though it makes for good TV it doesn't make for good news.

I find it laughable that in the last week alone I've heard them say at least 3 times something to the affect that none of the other news outlets are reporting..., then they give it the briefest mention possible in the most casual way possible and it isnot heard from again.

They have said almost nothing about Pelosi's statement that dealing with illegal aliens is un-American. They refuse to cover what is most certainly an ongoing major story. The story I'm speaking of is all the lawsuits which have gone to the supreme court and other courts throughout the nation and been rejected demanding proof that Obama is a natural born citizen. The courts feel safe to sweep these suits under the carpet knowing the media will not expose them for what they're doing. It is certainly not a difficult or drawn out case for our courts to tell our president to produce adequate proof he is natural born. They do not report on the army of lawyers Obama has out there to block these lawsuits and ruin the people who bring them. This is a story so obvious it's a wonder they don't cover it, but what do we get from the media? Silence!

Our representatives are in the process of passing a law to tax bonuses at AIG and other companies at 90% to "recover that money for the American people". Are our representatives really planning on giving it back to us? Why is the media including our favorite Fox News not covering how this law is unconstitutional?

Why is it that not one media outlet including Fox News had the guts to cover the story about the unconstitutionality of Hillary Clinton's appointment to Secretary of State? Why is it that these things get no more than a brief passing mention with NO investigative reporting. Fox News has a couple of experts debate both sides making it seem they have equal merit and it is not heard from again.

Of course they're more than happy to cover a murder for months on end as though it were the only murder to happen in the United States in 10 years. Their idea of "balance" is amazingly skewed.

sadly the only media where you can dependably find information on these things is the blogs and WorldNetDaily. The problem with this is that the American people still put enough stock in broadcast news that they think if you don't hear about something it must not be very important. Our News Media in the country is in a shambles.

There has hardly been a mention of the Tea Parties in our nation. Granted I think what the tea parties want to accomplish is admirable, but I also don't think it has any teeth. Our leaders have reached the point that sign waving and chanting even of thousands does not concern them. Consider this the Approval rating for congress was 11% yet 90% of them ended up back in office. They are well aware that the American people are all talk and no action.

I've heard people call in to talk show hosts and suggest we need a real tax revolt such as going exempt on our paychecks till congress listens. The talk show host invariably says something to the affect that they're not sure that would be such a good idea, or reminds them that they might get in trouble with the law. First of all it is legal to go exempt on your paycheck as long as you pay your taxes by the end of the year. Second the amount we're paying in taxes is outrageous and our leaders need to be made aware in a very real sense that we're fed up and angry as all get out about how they feel they can just take our money and throw it around. Waving tea bags or sending them to Washington is a statement with no teeth as I said previously. Our leaders take the attitude that we are children who need their superior guidance. Waving tea bags is no more of a motivation for them to listen than is a child holding his breath till his parents listen.

America Wake Up before it's too late. It will not be long and you won't be able to get your freedoms back.
