Recently published figures indicate newspaper circulation continues to
decline.
The economy and the Internet certainly play a role in that
decline. Another reason may be that people don't see any reason
to pay to be lied to about political issues.
Many editors and political reporters have ceased being
journalists. Most of them have become propagandists
for the Democratic Party with a smaller number supporting the
Republican Party.
Media Democrats seem more inclined to take
orders from politicians. Republicans like Rush Limbaugh and Sean
Hannity prefer to try to give orders to Republicans.
MSNBC recently
suspended
Keith Olbermann for contributing money to three Democratic candidates,
but has never complained about him giving free advertising worth tens
of millions to Democratic candidates.
Keith Olbermann and other partisan Democratic "journalists" are nothing
more than "media sheep" for the Democratic Party. In George
Orwell's
"Animal Farm"
the pigs take charge of the revolution that overthrows the
farmer.
Napoleon makes himself the chief pig and uses the sheep to spread his
propaganda. He controls them so completely that he is even
able to get them to change their message without complaint. For
example, he initially has them bleat "four legs good, two legs bad" to
indicate that the animals are good and humans are bad. Later when
he and the other pigs learn to walk on two legs he gets them to bleat
"four legs good, two legs better" to indicate that the pigs are
superior to the other animals.
The Democrats' media sheep don't understand that blindly
following any Democrat who mumbles the right catch phrases has hurt
their party. The media sheep's unwillingness to look
behind the curtain of the self proclaimed wizards of the Democratic
Party has allowed charlatan and incompetents to take over the
party.
The media sheep like to repeat the old Democratic mantra that it is the
Republican Party that is the party of the rich while ignoring the fact
that supporters of the Democratic Party like George Soros and Warren
Buffett aren't poor folks. The media sheep ignore the fact that
during the Clinton administration Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Democrat, wrote
l
egislation
approved by a Democratic Congress that allowed Enron to flourish
and rip off its stockholders.
Democrats and their media sheep are the ones pushing the carbon dioxide
cap and trade
scheme
pushed by the late dinosaurs Enron and Lehman
Brothers along with other wealthy financial interests. Enron
wrote the Kyoto accords for the Clinton administration.
It's been easy to identify the Democrats media sheep since the
election. Media sheep believe that President Barack Obama and the
Democratic Congress were taking the economy forward. They
claim that Republicans will take us backwards.
The media sheep are either too lazy to research the facts or don't care
if they are telling the truth or not.
Unemployment went up early in the administration of President George W.
Bush because of the small recession at the end of the Clinton
administration, the collapse of the dot.com businesses and 9/11.
However, by January. 2007, when the Democrats took control of Congress
unemployment had fallen from 6.3% to 4.65%.
After two years of the Democratic controlled Congress unemployment rose
to 7.7%. After Barack Obama moved into the White House
unemployment
rose to 10.1% before stabilizing at about 9.6%.
Cowboy, if you think those numbers indicate the economy has been going
forward under the Democrats, you're facing the wrong end of the
horse. If Republicans are taking us "back" it's because they have
to go back along the wrong road the Democrats have been on before
taking us forward.
Newspaper publishers need to decide whether they want to
serve the Democratic Party, regardless of the quality of its
candidates, or the readers who buy their papers. The recent
election disaster for Democrats demonstrates that the media's
efforts to help Democrats isn't working because voters are smart enough
to recognize incompetence in those holding public office.
Voters can recognize when the emperor has no clothes. Media sheep
cannot.
