I don’t know about you – but I can’t take it anymore! The network news drones are so Zimmerman-obessed you’d think there was nothing else worth reporting on in the entire world.
Rather than assisting the O’Ministration in fomenting racial discord, wouldn’t it be refreshing to see the media (all the media – not just the main stream lackies) cover ANYTHING else? Particularly matters of national import? Issues that are infinitely more significant? Maybe, for instance:
Benghazi ~ Still no accountability for four dead Americans. Lots of questions about the administration’s involvement – or lack thereof.
Fast & Furious ~ Still no justice for Brian Terry, a Mexican beauty queen or the latest victim.
IRS targeting of conservatives ~ and the disturbing implications for free speech, the civil society and our Republic itself.
Fort Hood Massacre ~ Major Hassan’s trial has finally begun almost 4 years after he mowed down 13 Americans in cold blood. You’d think we could have just a little coverage on this one wouldn’t you?!
The Gosnell Trial ~ If you didn’t hear about this story online you probably didn’t hear about it.
Camp Bastion Attack ~ When Bush was in office we were subjected to a daily body count from Iraq and Afghanistan. But now, if you aren’t paying attention – or haven’t lost a friend or family member – you’d almost believe there haven’t been any military deaths since Obama took office.
NSA spying ~ You’d think the media would be a bit more vigilant about threats to the first amendment…
Egypt ~ Muslim Brotherhood vs. the rest of the country
Obamacare – and its perverse effects on the country’s economic health
Stories like these receive scant attention from the main stream media. At best they’ll get a brief mention – before being dismissed as irrelevant.
And yet every network, cable and radio news network has devoted endless resources over the last couple of weeks to covering the Trayvon Martin/ George Zimmerman tale. It’s almost becoming surreal. Every low-information voter in the country has a strong opinion on the case one way or the other (and thinks they’re entitled to share it with you).
But if Obama and his pack of progressive community agitators hadn’t dragged this story into the national spotlight, it would have remained a local – albeit tragic – one. If they were sincerely concerned with senseless gun deaths, then Chicago’s body count would certainly be worth minimal coverage. Black-on-black crime in that city has produced headlines like this, just last week; Summer Surge in Gun Violence Forces Chicago Hospital to Hold Blood Drive.
What’s really distressing though is how sheep-like we’ve truly become. It’s as if most Americans wouldn’t know what to say, to do, or to feel about anything, if we didn’t first receive our programming from the MSM.
