When it comes to political matters, our leftist media is completely partisan and greatly irresponsible, neglecting important news, and often reporting in a way which only favors its view.
A recent article headline trumpeted the news that the GOP is wincing as Dick Cheney seizes the spotlight. I think it is safe to say that many, many conservatives and other Americans disagree entirely with this premise. This was the headline in an article from the Washington Post, found online from MSNBC news.
Call me a partisan hack if you wish, but I never claim objectivity. The media generally WOULD.
You can decide, but the following article is slanted greatly with the opinions of the writer negatively stacked against Dick Cheney.

In fact, believing that the GOP offers the best alternative to extreme liberal policies of the current Democrats controlling congress and the White House, the leftist media should realize that there are many, many Americans who believe historical perspective of the 9/11 situation and its aftermath, warranted the idea that it IS necessary sometimes to take somewhat more extreme measures to get the information needed to protect Americans. The Constitution is not a suicide pact. However, we also have to admit that the "Constitution" is often used as a cover for liberals when it is convenient, so that they can take absurd positions: for example, considering our intelligence and military officials to be the enemy, and treating them as the real enemy, all the while offering aid and comfort to our true enemies abroad who mean us great harm.
If "waterboarding" of a high profile terrorist is what it takes to gain the intelligence needed to save 100,000 to 1,000,000 people, or even just 50 people, I think any patriot would choose the "waterboarding" even if it required "ceding" the "higher" moral ground. If you want to argue how "terrible" this viewpoint is, go ahead, but to many, many, people, Dick Cheney is a hero and a patriot. When it comes to the irresponsibility and misreporting of the liberal media, let it be said, many Americans don't have a lot of use for you, and that's why we're not buying your papers or watching the news. It's a gross waste of time.
The leftist definition of Cheney's supposed "crimes against humanity" are highly questionable to the conservative mind, which brings us to another question:
Since it is pretty obvious that Nancy Pelosi-she's a Democrat by the way-aided and abetted intelligence officials as they carried out interrogations, by NOT speaking out against them even when she knew, is she A) a hero, or B) a complete liar. Here's my opinion: had Nancy Pelosi admitted that she knew about the interrogations, rather than denying it, and supported Dick Cheney, in spite of her opposite party affiliation, she would in my mind rightly be called a hero, and I would give her credit for this view. When it comes to this issue, if Joe Lieberman were in the same position as Pelosi now, I have an inkling that he would probably do just that. Pelosi probably took the right course of action in letting the administration do what was needed to ensure the nation's safety, but lying about it is inexcusable. Her lack of responsibility for her actions is truly cowardly.

Since Pelosi denied that she knew and has been willing to let Democrats go after Cheney and other officials, letting them take the fall, we can only be outraged at Pelosi, one of the Democrat Party's highest officials by the way. This is a woman who can't admit a mistake, or stand up if she believes that her course of action is correct. This is bad leadership. If she fully admits to her mistake, fine, but we don't want to hear from her ever again about the Republican Party's "culture of corruption." For we know, it's just the opposite these days isn't it?
From failure to pay taxes, campaign fraud (it's called Acorn), to a host of other ills, the Democrat Party's foundation is a true "culture of corruption." The leftist mainstream media consistently fail to report the extent of this corruption. We can't insist that all politicians are corrupt in some way, therefore excusing our own party preferences. The Republicans have been purged of some bad apples in recent years, it's time to do a whole lot of purging on the Democrat side now.
In related news:
Michelle Bachman spoke on Bill Bennett's show of her attempts to make sure that no federal money goes to organizations indicted with fraud. Something like $8 billion is going to be given to ACORN, even while it has been accused of voter fraud in several states. We must have fair and free elections. ACORN MUST be stripped of its funds. They are taking money out of taxpayer pockets to fund this travesty of justice. Please share the importance of this with your elected representatives. Blog about it. Make a lot of noise. Hold them accountable. That's how we protect and preserve our great Republic.

MSNBC is to liberals what Rush Limbaugh is to conservatives. The difference is that at least Rush makes does not make a claim to be neutral and is not a news organization, unlike MSNBC, with its lies and half-truths about being neutral and unbiased.
ReplyDeleteOne doesn't even have to make an opinion to be biased. What you cover and what you decide not to cover even reflects your perspective, and if you give an inordinate amount of coverage to a particular topic, it clearly reveals a bias. Example: How many more magazines and news shows can have Obama features? What more can they possibly tell us about Obama that we haven't already heard?
