Media Manipulation

A definite  Problem. It is such a problem that it is a major source of a Problem and False Reactions. It is not part of a solution.. It could be but Media has been bought and sold to the Company Store.  There is very little independent reporting of the news. It is the Same news report  at the same time on every channel. When the media has interviews with a Statesman they all have the same feed and the same questions. Come on Media, Come on Reporters. Get with the Program. Make that Politician actually answer some questions. Live so there can be some give and take. So there can be some forced accountability.

Recently , Jimmy Carter was harassed on a live show. The thing I am angry about is that I do not think they let Mr Carter Respond. Good GOD! Jimmy Carter is NOT GW Bush..He is very well able to answer a Freeper attack. Just as Bill Clinton was very well armored to answer the Fox News attack. So , this is a real problem also when the TV Journalist plays “peace maker” Come On, that is BS.

We have had a White House that has Bought the News.

It was not just that one guy, Armstrong Williams but several Journalists have had their hand in the Bush Till. How can anything be trusted brought forth by the Media Moguls?

Not a DAMN thing.

On a Google search  , this is what I found

Michael McManus, conservative author of the syndicated column "Ethics & Religion," received $10,000 to promote a marriage initiative.

It goes on to say

One day after President Bush ordered his Cabinet secretaries to stop hiring commentators to help promote administration initiatives, and one day after the second high-profile conservative pundit was found to be on the federal payroll, a third embarrassing hire has emerged. Salon has confirmed that Michael McManus, a marriage advocate whose syndicated column, "Ethics & Religion," appears in 50 newspapers, was hired as a subcontractor by the Department of Health and Human Services to foster a Bush-approved marriage initiative. McManus championed the plan in his columns without disclosing to readers he was being paid to help it succeed.

And then there was  syndicated columnist Maggie Gallagher who had the nerve to say that she had no idea that she was being unethical. What do we have working out there on the behalf of the White House? A bunch of High Functioning Autistics that only see things in Black and White? That condone all sorts of things because they honestly see no problems whatsoever in pushing Propaganda like Paid Programming under the guise of opinion and Oped?

How many more of these Treasonous Bastards are out there that we do not know about?

Finding them would be part of the Solution
