i quit watching tv news 6 months ago
it’s a shame too because i’m a news junky but i saw how tv was all obama & it just made me sick
TURN OFF THE TV
I have always done this.
Its funny how whenever I turn off my TV, my grill suddenly fires up, a cold beer suddenly opens, my kids start playing with something outside, the front door opens and I breathe fresh air all of a sudden. I find myself doing something besides wasting hour after hour in front of the tube. Its really amazing because it happens every time I turn the TV off.
I agree. Television, particularly the news has become an Orwellian misinformation/propaganda chute. I stopped watching some time ago, and it was a bit like stopping smoking for me (I was addicted to news shows), but I’m now “clean” and not nearly as agitated all the time.
More needs to be done.
Too many sheep in the audience, and not enough independent thinkers out there for this approach to have ANY impact.
What needs to happen is a backlash against the sponsors... not the messengers. The messengers are replaceable. The reputation of the sponsors is NOT.
The same tactics that the MSM have used against the truth and those who believe in it need to be deployed against the sponsors who have funded the lies.
Just the opposite should occur... we should watch more of the MSM, paying particular attention to advertising.
We should be able to tell who is really behind the lies by who is spending the most money.
GO AFTER THE SOURCE!... this will take out both dirty birds with the same stone.
While I am against a “fairness doctrine” that “ensures” all political viewpoints are aired, I do believe that the FCC has a regulatory role when the media engages in Ratherbiased presentations of fraudulent documents as fact.
Their broadcasting licenses should be in jeopardy over such abuse of power.
Even Foleygate was built on several lies (that Foley had molested young boys and that the GOP “knew” and did nothing).
Also, the Primary process will need to be overhalled by the next election. Our nomination process was hijacked this year by Democrats and “independents” crossing over in the early state primaries. and the media was eager to help determining which candidates would get debate coverage (anyone seen Ron Paul today?).
Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!
I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys
They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!
He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink
He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!
’ On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi’
He screamed at the pairs!
They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!
So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
I’ve already done that. Feeling much better for it, too.
