Really, the MFM is beyond biased and corrupt.
Bias is one thing, and that's bad enough. But what we have now is a media who are willing progressive propagandists. That form of corruption, of abuse of their Constitutional protections, veers off into felony conspiracy. When the so-called media get their talking points from the White House into their earpiece while on the air (Mika Airhead at MSLSD), the whole concept of 'free and open discussion of ideas' is diminished. We see this diminishing of free and open discussions when it comes to race, the fact that our Nation is NOT talking about (mostly) urban black mob violence. We see this diminishing of free and open discussions when it comes to criticism of Owebama's qualifications,
gravitas and love of America by being called racists. I firmly believe the media needs to lose their Constitutional protections as they no longer even make a hint of a whisper of a pretense at playing stories down the middle.
I never thought I'd agree with putting media in jail, but with our current crop of nihilistic nincompoops, yeah, I can go with that. I honestly think the media should list, when they do any form of reporting, their CV, bonafides, organizations, degree (or college most likely), etc. Let's play the transparency game with them, with a nice jail time penalty for screwing up. I guess what I'm proposing is the media be forced to admit its biases for all to see, not just us blogaholics, with criminal sanctions imposed for lying (that is, not admitting a bias when slanting a story).
The media used to be an aggressive pack of rabid dogs who saw their job and role in life to 'comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable'. No more, as the media cannot and will not afflict their comfortable selves. No, they afflict themselves on us poor plebes, the rotten corrupt bastards, and then have the chutzpah to pass off the affliction by calling it 'news'.
