Fox News Absent in Reporting

It is a little surprising that Fox News as well as the rest of the media has had very little to say about any of the goings on with Sheriff Arpaio. First he comes out with a 6 month investigation that finds that in all likelihood the Obama birth certificate is a fake. The media reports almost nothing on this. Of course they don’t want to investigate any of this seriously because if it turns out that he’s right it will only show how derelict they’ve been in their own due diligence and they certainly don’t want that to happen. I also think they can’t stand the idea that maybe it might cause a constitutional crisis.

Now we have a case where Sheriff Arpaio and his family have had their lives threatened by some liberal wacko Obama supporter and again the media has nothing to say about it. If this were any liberal being threatened this way there is little doubt that every liberal media outlet would be carrying the story as well as putting all the spin on it they could to make the conservatives look like a bunch of gun toting homicidal maniacs, and of course there would be Fox News reporting on it in their “balanced” way as always. They’d present both sides so there wouldn’t be much in the way of a defense against it, but now we have a liberal wacko threatening to kill a man and his whole family in the most gruesome ways imaginable and it doesn’t get any air play at all.

I suppose this is understandable because if any of the media actually carried the story they’d have to look into his motives. This is after all their favorite thing to do. They not always so interested about the actual events as the motivating factors. In this case for them to look at the reasons for these threats would mean they would have to cover the Arpaio investigation, something they’ve all been negligent about. Then everyone would be wondering why they didn’t cover that story so now they’ve locked themselves out from reporting about anything to do with Arpaio no matter what is involved.

There have been reports on WND as well about the Justices in Georgia refusing to hear anything regarding Obama’s eligibility to run. This is another story that is much bigger than just about Obama, his birth certificate and his eligibility. The really big story here and rightly covered by WND, is that the justices essentially refused to hear the case by waiting till the last minute to offer a verdict such that no appeal or follow-up could be made, essentially closing the door on it altogether. Those justices were right, it just went away as though it had never been as so many other similar issues regarding Obama’s eligibility for office have done.

Our media currently is completely broken. As WND points out the courts no longer exist to support the rights of the week or even the rights of the individual. They are activist in the sense that they only hear the cases they want to hear and by doing this can thwart justice without ever issuing a verdict on an issue. This has happened with the eligibility issue in Georgia, as well as all the rest of the suits brought against him for his eligibility. We don’t even know how many issues regarding the EPA, the IRS, and various other government agencies are concerned. The media doesn’t cover them because in many cases they just never happen and of course the media doesn’t cover that either.

The outrageous things being done by the government seem to become more and more severe and yet so much goes unreported as they report the same 5 or 10 stories hour after hour. They are so taken with the election at this point that they can hardly find time to report on anything else. They certainly have enough time for human interest stories, but as far as other things go they report them over and over in minute detail even when they have nothing more to add or at most one new piece of information to add to the mix.

Where is the pressure on our government both local and national to explain themselves? They certainly have more than enough they’ve been doing that needs explaining. Instead they are too busy reporting on how Romney is the presumed frontrunner even before the race has begun.

Obama can say the most outrageous things. In many cases what he says flies in the face of the facts but no one reports that fact, instead they argue his point. A good example of this is they way they have handled the gas crisis for years. Every time some pundit says that eeven if we started drilling right now we wouldn’t get any oil for 5 years, and no one says, so you’re suggesting because it will be 5 years off there’s no reason to ever start because it will always be 5 years away. Isn’t this a rather short sighted view? Equally no one says we’ve been saying this for 5 years and by now we’d be pulling oil out of the ground and we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
