The Main Stream Media Must Be Suicidal

It just boggles the mind.  Why are the MSM such willing patsies for the Libs when even my cat knows that socialist and communist countries are not known for either free press or free speech.  Yet the MSM fall all over themselves to support politicians that try very hard to muzzle anyone who disagrees with them.  How can any reasonably intelligent person not see where that is headed? 

I am similarly puzzled by "intellectuals" who talk up communist principles.  I mean, HELLO, do you not realize that the reason you have the freedom to spout drivel that most people disagree with (and live to do it again tomorrow) is because you DON'T live in a communist country?

Even worse, the MSM is giving Obama a pass on virtually everything.  I am not big on making predictions but I'll make an exception this time.  I predict that, one day, some historian will be writing a book about why and how the MSM ceased being relevant during Obama's administration.  By ignoring, pretending ignorance of, or simply refusing to cover stories that the people identified and shared on their own, the MSM have made themselves irrelevent at best.  At worst, they have become enemies of freedom.

Do They Really Hear What We Think? Do They Care?

If you've ever called to read your Congressman or Senator the riot act, then you know they always say "I'll be sure to pass that along directly to the Senator/Congressman".  Do you ever wonder if they actually pass your comments along?  I certainly have.

I've called Bart Gordon's office and told his office manager that the Congressman needs to remember that he works for We The People, not Nancy Pelosi.  Now, how many of you think they really passed that jewel along?  I wouldn't bet on it.

Wildly frustrated, back when the worst thing we had to worry about was President Bush's inexplicable refusal to secure our borders, I actually told Senator Frist's office that I couldn't understand why they didn't get the message.  For them to be so oblivious to what we wanted, I opined that they must be either stupid or corrupt, and stupid was starting to drop back to second place.  Not in my wildest dreams do I think they told Senator Frist I said that.

I even faxed Nancy Pelosi and told her she was the un-American one when she stated I had no right to disagree with her.  I'm sure that kept her up nights.

In my view, the polls tell the real story.  Politicians live and die by polls, so I can't believe they are oblivious to their pitiful approval and trust ratings.  Yet, despite clear messages that we aren't happy, they keep moving us toward socialism.  Do they care?  I'm starting to doubt it.
