"Left Wing / Right Wing" Wingnuts All

I've been reading the Duke related blogs for several months now and I am absolutely astonished at the "left wing / right wing" crap that I've been reading. The news media (print and televised) aren't a bunch of left wing shills. Quite frankly after watching BOR, gotta love it, thats Bill O'Reilly to folks like you and me, he has become such a raving lunatic cheerleader for the current president, that I want to throw up.

Nobody seems to remember a word that we used "back in the day". The word is radical. It means to go overboard, go to extremes, go to the outer limits. The media isn't radical left, and I'm not sure its radical right. The media has become a source for making news, not reporting it. When your new article starts out that...The New York Times is reporting........ or The Washington Post is reporting.....or The LA Times has confirmed....etc, there is a problem in your news organization. Quite frankly, if I read that "TMZ has confirmed/is reporting..." whatever, I'm going to start going to the horses mouth directly, and not reading it 3rd hand from someone who told me they got it from, who got it from. I should thank men like Dr. William Anderson of lewrockwell.com or Dr. KC Johnson of Durham In Wonderland for helping me get back on track with my reading.

What I'm seeing is not media biased toward this side or that, I'm seeing media that can make a big enough spectacle that it will sell. Based on what I'm reading in the NY Times or on CNN or where ever, the mass media takes whatever track will get you aroused enough to click on the story and trip their counters so they can sell ad space. This is not leftist, this is not rightist, its amoral fertilizer.

I get so upset when people look at a group like the Dixie Chicks and say things like they represent the lowest 5% of the population that get their news in 5 minutes at the top of the hour. Why, because I don't agree with them, President Bush is a disaster in office. He has not been a friend to the working man. He has given Cheney's buddies at Haliburton and Assoc. 27 billion of our money in "no bid" contracts and now they are moving to the UAE. 6 or 7 million new people now qualify for overtime according to his new rules......11 million lost it and those 11 million are the ones at Wal Mart and K Mart and elsewhere who didn't have it to loose to begin with. The press has been cheering him like dutiful little girls at a football game. Fox is the worst. The name callers are the ones calling "leftist" or "leftist agenda's" or whatever.

Nancy Grace is not leftist. She is a wingnut who will walk past evidence to sell her show. She is on a crusade to make cash and to hell with anybody who gets in her way. Anybody includes the mother of that missing boy she prosecuted....I mean interviewed.

Lest this be perceived as a rant against Nancy, BSNBC and FOX both had the round table discussions about Nancy like they were above any such thing.

I truly am disturbed by the state of the media these days.
