Out of Control Media

The media is as out of control today as the government. They have lost the ability or desire to do any serious investigative reporting. If the government tells them something is hands off then they drop it. If the government blames our woes on the greed of Wall Street the media does the same. The media does not continue to remind people that our government leaders and special interest groups pressured major banks to make loans they knew were bad.

Let us assume for one moment that Wall Street is greedy, and I'm certainly willing to admit there is a great deal of greed there. Greed being what it is, is never satisfied and always wants more. If for no other reason than this our "greedy" bankers would not make what they new were bad loans that would ultimately destroy their business and prevent future profits unless they were pressured to.

There is no doubt that Barny Frank and others in congress, and special interest groups such as ACORN pressured banks to make the bad loans they did. The reason is in their view of social engineering it is the "right" of every American to own a house. These people are very confused about what a right is. The media however rarely reminds the American people that it was our political leaders that are responsible for this outrage. They pressured the banks to lend to bad risks. It was not a lack or regulation but rather an over abundance of BAD regulation that lead to the demise of the banking industry. Again we hear little of this from the media.

Our politicians, who everyone knows are honest people, continue to tell us it was a lack or regulation that lead to this debacle and the media prints it. Sadly the media have become little more than political lapdogs. I do find it interesting that we now find political talk show hosts and what have been considered opinion pieces are giving us more investigative reporting than the main stream media.

The political talk shows which used to be mostly for entertainment now serve us by giving us more real information than the mainstream media. Still they refuse to report on such things as the numerous cases that have gone to the Supreme Court as well as other courts and been rejected time and again regarding Obama's natural born status. If the media actually reported these and questioned the judges as to why they did not simply demand of Obama that he produde the proof, they would not be able to hide in the background. Once brought to public light over and over a judge would hopefully feel compelled to require Obama to produce proof that he meets the constitutional mandate.

The media doesn't cover that Obama has a horde of Lawyers blocking every effort to get that information. They don't ask why is that? What is the matter with our media when they don't feel any need to report on a president doing everything he can to prevent him from providing proof he meets the requirements to hold the position he was elected to?!

The misdirection going on is not only with the goverment leaders it is also with the media as willing accomplices. Maybe they're afraid they don't be on the inside any more, but then what good is it to be an insider to the stories if you're not going to report them?

If we had this level of investigative reporting during Nixon's administration we would never have had watergate. No instead we are still hearing about one murdered person from more than a year ago, as this were some national disaster that must be resolved. It was one murder among how many hundreds. Why is this any different than kids in my town killed by gang members with no one brought to justice?

I cannot tell you how impressed I was with this video and the words are still true and worth the listen. I hope this video will be emailed to everyone you know, but at the same time I find it a little disheartening that the man who did this video advising us to send tea bags to Washington said on TV the other night not to send the actual tea bags but only the labels becuase the government was pretending they though it might be a dangerous substance. so already he has cowered before the government after criticizing how we have become cowards. Still it is my hope you will listen to this video as it's a timely and necessary message for today.





If we are not willing to put pressure on the leaders and the media to start doing their job we might as well give up on our country and our freedom as we've known them. I can't encourage you enough to right everyone of our representatives you can whether they are your representative or not as well as to start writing to the media and tell them you expect more. The media are not immune to public pressure either.
