Use the link in your head....

The press used to report the news to keep us informed....their mandate. But now their purpose is to keep us misinformed. Sounds simple doesn't it, but when we are constantly being barraged by the media through the internet, on TV and in the dwindling news organizations that even provide a paper feed, it's hard to ignore todays issues....(unless you are a radical lefty and drink only from the poisoned well.)But so many Americans are pressed (no pun) to stay afloat that the last issue they have time to involve themselves in is politics. Many see it as a no win, frustrating pursuit of needless anxiety. And from that pool we draw our voters. My point being, when the press has an agenda, a mission, if you will, they have abdicated their mandate, their responsibility, to inform the public. They no longer deserve the honor of being referred to as the fourth estate, a co-equal branch of government, a source of information or help. Reagan said it, (sic) government is not the solution, it's the problem and the media isn't helping posing as a wolf in sheep's clothing.


And that is where we are right now...being lied to by a corrupted institution that no longer serves the public interest, no longer deserves that recognition as a subsidiary of government, no longer deserves our trust. The only way we can completely rid ourselves of their influence, and their viral impact, is to remain independent, resourceful and objective. In other words, use your God given talent to use your own brain and not their xeroxed one..... It may be the only option you have left to make an intelligent decision or an intelligent vote.

In other words, stay uninformed, stay ignorant.
That apparently works for you.

"My point being, when the press has an agenda, a mission, if you will, they have abdicated their mandate, their responsibility, to inform the public"

Actually, the window of "unbiased journalism" was a brief one. It flared up after WWII with the big push for "higher education" during the hi-tech arms race. By the '80s public interest (or fear) dwindled, entertainment prevailed, and the "news" media fell in line in order to sell their product. So now we're back to the 19th century with Pulitzer, Hearst and Yellow Journalism.

Good blog.
