[Savage Beast]

The American "Mainstream Newsmedia" is the Propaganda Machine for the Left. Sowell is absolutely right. It is not impartial, and it has abandoned any pretext of truth for its own sake.

The basic immorality of the Left is untruth. For so long, the "Media" and its so-called "journalists" have lived in a paradigm of propaganda and scorn for truth, that many of them can no longer tell the difference between truth and falsehood.

This is very dangerous, especially in a representative republic such as ours, where a truthfully informed electorate is essential.

Truth has its own power. It is the nature of people to crave it.

It is the basic untruth of the "Media" and its "journalists" that have brought about such intense scorn for them and will in the future.

Future generations will view the mendacious contemporary "Newsmedia" with disgust--as millions of people do today.

Remember how the media carried on for weeks about Vice President Cheney's hunting accident?

The ABC affiliate here in Pittsburgh made a big deal about Cheney going off to hunt (shoot somebody) this day before the election.

Plainly, the old media BLOWS!!!!!
