Freedom of the press is basically dead in America except for the internet. Explosive Stuff.

In one of the most shocking articles that the New York Times has ever put out, a New York Times reporter has openly admitted that virtually every major mainstream news organization allows government bureaucrats and campaign officials to censor their stories.

It seems to me that they are just admitting what we all knew.

Pity the poor blogs who snag these bastardized “news” stories
and then try to re-write them in hope of getting hits.

They peddle twice-warmed-over bullshit.

The New York Times Admits That Virtually Every Major News Organization Allows The News To Be Censored By Government Officials

No, the New York Times and every other major news organization willfully and enthusiastically censors the news ONLY when a Marxist/Communist/Socialist POS Demonrat administration has infested the White House.

Does anyone believe Bill Eee-go-reilly did NOT get his questions approved before hand?

“For example, almost every major news organization in the country has agreed to submit virtually all quotes from anyone involved in the Obama campaign or the Romney campaign to gatekeepers for “quote approval” before they will be published. If the gatekeeper in the Obama campaign does not want a certain quote to get out, the American people will not see it, and the same thing applies to the Romney campaign. “

It is very frightening that the MSM would protect the Obama Campaign from ill-advised quotes or other information that might put a bad light on the president.

We must get our media to cease granting such editorial control to Democrat campaigns and Democratic presidents.

So, which White House or Obama campaign gatekeeper signed off on “You Didn’t Build That” once it finally made it to mainstream outlets?

Let me guess how this works.

Hell can’t be made too hot for this fifth-column traitorous press.

I haven’t trusted the press for a long time and that includes fox. I do not bother with it. These folks are completely out of touch with what is happening in this country ad throughout the world. They seem like rabid clueless dogs. The only thing they are good for is an argument based on hate and ignorance.

That is why I never even bother to watch any MSM. And you know they are allowed to make all kinds of mistakes and miss quotes against the Tea Party and Conservatives.

And these are the presstitutes that will get to moderate the presidential debates.

A rigged debate is worse than a rigged gameshow.

This is an Orwellian Nightmare.

” . . . except for the internet.”

Kinda reminds me, though, of the times when threads are pulled on various conservative sites.

Are we headed into the pattern of the Nazi Germany?


 

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

~Pastor Martin Niemöller

Community and individuality are not opposites. People cannot survive on their own. When the odds are stacked against you, you must rally with the oppressed and hated.

When a growing oppressive regime is taking hold, you must act, otherwise you will soon face your enemy alone and hopeless.

Strength of community is a strength as much as individualism, as long you are willing to face weaknesses in your own community. Ignoring slacking values will mean that you will be rallied against by those you oppress.

Niemöller affirms we must rally against unhealthy organized regimes. We must also stay vigilant with those that appear to be good natured, as all organisation attracts corruption. Niemöller also warns us that if it is you who are corrupt, then you will face a stronger combined force of foe!

This of course, was the main reason that Bush I was forced onto the Reagan-Bush ticket. And the reason for all successive presidents.

Either they’re one of them or a Puppet Spammer.
Hillary Romney is one of them, and the Coffee Server is a Puppet Spammer.

Look a step farther and see who are the main equity holders of those same banks. And see why Extortion-Care was rammed down full panic.
