The media (ok, let's get specific -- the political commentators, political strategists, reporters, analysts and both liberal and conservative bloggers out there) didn’t do much to nation-building last year. They hurt more than they build, inform, and inspire. That’s just my opinion. I've also been hard on some people last year -- mainly the newsmen. They were so biased against some people who didn't deserved to be bashed everyday. A few of them, Tina Fey of Saturday Night Live, Rachel Maddow of Rachel Maddow, Stephanie Miller (a super liberal radio bitch), and a few others -- irresponsible males who continue to write as if they know best. These are people who do things without caring for others but for themselves and their followers out there. To them -- drop dead.
Let's comment on the media of 2008. First, both the liberal and conservative media (made of all the above professionals) thinks that President George W. Bush is still solely the one to be blamed for 9/11. That immediately make them bias and very stupid in my opinion. The fact that they still think that is the case. Ask yourself this: Is it really that possible to attack WTC and The Pentagon (the way it was done) a few months after Bush was sworn in? Impossible. The attacks had to be planned professionally and thoroughly when Bill Clinton and the older George Bush were in the White House. Some of you think that Bush as the worst president this nation has ever had in the 232 years of its existence. His presidency and him as a person are two different things. Millions are thinking so, too. Bush as a husband and a dad, a brother and a son and a friend, is a kindhearted man who thinks Country First when he ordered his commanders on the ground to bomb Bagdad in 2003. He would have been assassinated if he hadn't started the war with Iraq after 9/11 when the people were very very very angry and their hearts were in pain.
But when the war begin to fail as the wounds begin to heal and all the tears begin to drop less and less, the media begins to think that it is all Bush’s fault.
Here’s the part I don’t understand. No one on earth is clever or “stupid” enough to make mistakes (Bush) made in the last eight years. Even the stupidest of man cannot make such an organized, calculated mistakes by himself. Bush did not do it alone. He couldn’t possibly. Ask Nancy Pelosi. But media is so focused on saying it is all Bush's mistakes. No one else's. Many of them have (yes distastefully and cheaply) used that to win the election for Obama. They are so many men and women in Congress and in the Senate who have helped make Bush the "worst" president. He is the worst president because of so many stupid people in Washington. The same jerks in Chicago who are helping to make Obama's transition a shitty one right now...right this minute some people -- people like Rick Warren, Blagojevich, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Bill Richardson…are already helping to make Obama the next bad president.
Aren’t you tired of all these fanatics commentators and columnists with all their hatred, insulting Bush (and Obama), calling them every name in the book.
“For heavens sake you don´t even know the man (Obama) yet and what he is capable of or not”, my friend said to another friend the other day. Exactly! I snapped back. “Why are elite liberal reporters and democrats praising Obama like he is god and can not do wrong, they don’t even know what Obama is capable of or not yet?” But here’s the thing -- Obama (for now at least) they see him as the one and Bush as the worst one...that's where the general knowledge among the elite liberal media usually ends.
A friend recently challenged me to give my personal opinion about the role of the mainstream media in the last eight years now that President Bush is out and President Barack Obama is in. As an online political observer, I can't help but noticing just how close to the truth the headline above is to describe the current situation in America...I am not sure if it was Nixon or someone else who (refused to bail out the newspapers when they failed) said to the press: drop dead. I agree. Newsmen have no business doing what they are doing when they are being biased and being irresponsible.
When I saw the headlines written by some elite liberal political commentators this week, I thought, great! More articles on the floundering newspaper industry! But, alas, they were nothing more than the same columns we've read from journalists (aka the media wing of the Democrat Party) for the past eight years. It seems to me that whether or not Bush will be remembered as the worst president in U.S. history is extremely debatable at best. But, one thing is beyond debate: the early 21st century will be remembered as the time when daily newspapers and the so-called mainstream media faded into irrelevancy.
By the way, many of you have spent more than 30 years reading the largest newspapers and magazines in America. The changes I saw in the professionalism and ethics of journalists in the past eight years I’ve been in New York and California was sickening. Bare comments without backup are getting more common in this country. Comments without backup do not make good columns. The newspapers (and blogs) would have served their readers better, it they had stuck to one failing of Bush and provided readers with your best argument(s) for agreement. Over time, columns like this one I read recently will offer very little to substantiate criticism of President Bush and will serve for little else than proof of media bias endemic to the times -- and perhaps some insight into why print journalism declined rapidly in popularity. Media bias against the out-going president at its best.
Journalistic professionalism certainly has taken a dive. Day by day by irresponsible journalists and bloggers. Journalists are turning themselves into bloggers because blogging is faster than writing for newspapers or TV and radio. And they are not ready to be bloggers. They have no idea. They are so used to writing for the papers TV and radio. They screw up as many times as they comment.
Once upon a time we could count on there being a significant number of journalists who never would take at face value what they were told by someone's spokesperson and who would go to great lengths to find out the facts, now we are forced to suffer with a pack of stenographers who merely write down and then repeat the lies they hear from “spinners”, many of whom unfortunately are employed by our own government. As for journalists being the "media wing of the Democrat Party," it appears that many columnists, commentators and bloggers (especially bloggers) are unfamiliar with the many newspapers throughout the country, including a number of them in California, that are unabashedly pro-Republican and pro-Democrat. Apparently, there weren't a good enough journalist to engage in some fact checking before writing their comments.
Only someone who has never had to make a final decision would be so cavalier in their comments of someone who does make these life and death decisions. Bush has made mistakes, (what president hasn't?), but we live in terribly dangerous times and liberals enjoy the fruits of our brave volunteer army to keep them fat and sassy.
I have another quick question to ask: Why is the New York Times going out of business? Because of exactly these reporters who are Bush bashers and don't have an honest day of reporting the news rather than being the news behind them. Again, to all the reporters and newsmen at New York Times, drop dead.
The economy is in the toilet due to the CRA and all the Liberal social engineers who wouldn't let the banks be judicious in their loans but give to anyone whether they could afford to pay it back or not which started with President Carter and continued with Clinton and Bush could not overcome the set ways of these people to prevent this catastrophe. So all in all I think history will slap the liberals and the media in the face in the future and then we won't have to put up with these poor excuse for reporters and newspapers. America is by and far the greatest there is.
Here’s another issue. Many are still thinking that Bush and the banks started the housing problems. The Government under Clinton Administration told the banks you have to make it easier to get a home loan to people who wouldn't be able to get one another way the same with the credit . Now look where we are at? Is this not true?
As an online political observer and gay blogger, I can't wait to see if you would treat your “living God”, Obama, the same way when we were attacked here on our own soil. And one of your kids or a loved one was one of the victims. Or, when they wanted more money ($700b) and raised it some more? Will you still sing your praises of Obama! Obama! We love you Obama!? Here’s a bigger problem. You would!
Truth is both red and blue states do not like to admit the problems that they helped created in the last eight years.
So, as a thank you to all of you forward-thinking Democrats and Republicans for your "truth to power" and those who will join each and everyone of us in rebuilding America, some humor -- sorry my friends, I personally think there will be no nativity scene in Washington this year. They couldn't find three wise men and one virgin Mary in all of D.C. They didn't even put her on their shorlist for VP. They found plenty of jackasses for the barn, though.
And the mainstream media is too confused and too conflictive to know that. For now. Because of their bias. Unbelievable.
