Who's Really Screwing Up America?

This one comes from The Nation and is an article written by Katrina vanden Heuvel.

Ms. vanden Heuvel rages against Bernard Goldberg and his book 100 People who are Screwing up America (And Al Franken is #37).

>>>How do people like Goldberg get away with pouring their toxic waste into our weakened political and media circulatory system? One reason, as Nation columnist Eric Alterman tells us, is the mainstream media's willingness to roll over. The right's truth-twisting pundits and commentators distort and debase our political culture. And they rarely get called on it by the so-called MSM.<<<

Puleeeeeeze! Just WHO is calling the kettle black here?

"How do people like Michael Moore get away with pouring their toxic waste into our weakened political and media circulatory system?" One reason, as conservative by nature Blogger tells us, is the mainstream media's willingness to only give air time to those who have the same political agendas, ummm, philosophies.The left's truth-twisting pundits and commentators distort and debase our political culture. And they rarely get called on it by the so-called MSM."


WHO in the main stream media is a conservative? Because I would really like to hear them as a commentator. The main stream media do not have conservatives working for them much less presenting the news!

Nope, the main stream media is ALL yours Ms. vanden Heuvel~~that is they are ALL liberal left. They will not give time to anyone who is conservative right.

For YEARS, conservatives have had to get their news from news radio. Finally, a few cable shows and Fox news came along and presents a more truthful telling of the news~~but they are one among many.

CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and name any newspaper~~they are ALL liberal in their news presentation and they all have their own agenda. It is obvious to anyone who can hear; much less think.

They all praise the Clintons and bash the Bushes. Where has there been any fairness in regards to both presidencies? The Clintons were riddled with scandals~~not just one. Yet liberals consider them scions to applaud. While the Bushes are not perfect, they HAVE done some things right. Where is the reporting on this?

Just where is the "truth in reporting" in regards to either?

Journalism, whether the written word or viewed on TV, should be presenting the news in a non-biased way FAVORING NO ONE. They should be reporting what they have seen and what they have heard without embellishments or exaggerations; without presenting their own viewpoints and biases. I don't need to be told how to think~~many Americans would agree with me.

You can rant and rave all you want, but just like you liberals, Conservatives’ freedom of speech is guaranteed by the constitution of the United States and Bill of Rights. If we ever lose that right, you need to worry; because it could happen to you tomorrow.

In Germany they came first for the communists, and I didn't speak up--because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up--because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up--because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up--because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by this time there was no one left to speak up.

Pastor Martin Niemoller

Perhaps conservatives exist if for no other reason than to keep the liberals reined in just a bit. Otherwise, the truth would have relativity as far as you all are concerned: it is the truth because I SAY IT IS THE TRUTH.

I ask, well, just who are you to determine that?
