There's so much happening. I hear the 24/7 cable news stations are emphasizing that it's July and it's hot. How could anyone that's paying attention think there's a 'liberal' bias in media?
Here's an example. It's a story that could be big. Should be big. But it's not. It's about Tom Delay and absolute clear-cut corruption. With Delay one gets a choice of many such stories and almost none of them have been covered over the years. I guess because it's July and it's hot.
Here's a link to the story as reported at THINK PROGRESS: http://tinyurl.com/ce4oc .
Don't you think a 1.5 billion dollar give-away should be a big story whereas that it's July and it's hot should not?
Me? I want to know who 'the third man' is in the CIA leak case. I want the next set Abu Ghraib photos and videos to be released. I want people to care. We ARE the government. We're the boss. That's the big deal about being a citizen of the USA, not two-ply toilet paper in multiple colors and patterns. Do we really need to be told it's hot in July?
The price of freedom is constant vigilance is how Thomas Jefferson put it.
The media isn't biased to left or right. It's just not doing it's job. And neither are way too many American citizens. We need to inform ourselves and start firing some of the crooked and incompetent working for us in government. They're supposed to be protecting us from predators not facilitating the predation.
And certainly not fighting phony wars who's only winners are the industrial-military complex. A victory paid for with blood and human degradation.
