Just think about the charge that Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain secured a meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that led to her approval of certain extremely controversial arms sales to Bahrain after his kingdom donated up to $150,000 directly to the Clinton Foundation and some $32 million to the Clinton Global Initiative. This alone would be enough to bring down a deified Roman emperor.

It really bothers me that there are people in the media who see this and look the other way. They even look the American people in the eye and under report this or ignore the story because it doesn't fit their agenda.

I understand media people like to have a job, and if they went against the wishes of their bosses, they would not be employed for long. Still, to spew propaganda and not report this makes them enemies of the American people.

I view the media’s behavior since the first Clinton administration as deplorable. They wanted Clinton to succeed because he matched their politics and their efforts to recreate Camelot and the JFK administration captured their imagination even as it violated their own traditions.

What people forget is how ruthless the Clinton’s were and how they played the media like a fiddle. There were no efforts in the newsroom to be objective when it came to Billy Jeff. Had the media covered even one scandal in the same manner they had prior scandals it is likely the Clinton’s would not have been so bold or even in the position they are today.

Any faith the public has in media has been thoroughly destroyed by their own politics, yet many still base their opinions on the news as it is reported by these flawed sources. Our distrust of institutions is at an all time high - churches, congress, banks and investment houses, academia, the executive branch, courts, law enforcement, and the media have all let us down. A successful and functional America requires these institutions to be above reproach (not perfect) and kept in line. Those days are long past - “too big to fail and too big to jail” is a direct repudiation of our constitution. That is where we find ourselves and our nation is in great peril.

I keep telling people that our primary course of action ought to be creating a "Manhattan Project" dedicated to destroying the existing media, but I am a voice crying in the wilderness.

No one seems willing to face the fact that our primary impediment in solving this nation's problems is the fact that all sources of information on which voters rely to make their decisions, come from that Biased, Liberal Industry.

The existing media keep getting Democrats elected and keep preventing our people from getting elected. They also cow the people we *do* manage to get elected until they are gutless pansies who will not fight.
