The Media Owes Boston an Apology

The owe America an apology for becoming nothing more than a propaganda organ for the left.

To those still blind to the reason for muslim violence..... Islamic terrorism is an act of religious faith, and the enemy’s desire to murder us began with that religious faith, and not with ANYTHING we’ve done. Muslims have been killing non-Muslims simply for being non-Muslims....ever since Mohammad started it over a thousand years ago.

The media owes conservatives and the Tea Party an apology, but that will never happen.

As long as we can’t even name them clearly, we cannot hold them to account. We have to be able to stand up on our hind legs and bluntly say it: Journalism as we know it is a conspiracy against the public.
Hillary spoke of a “vast right wing conspiracy,” without any facts or logic to back her up. I have just propounded a conspiracy theory of my own. Where is the evidence, where is the logic? Glad you asked. A well-known quotation from Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations states,
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends . . . in some contrivance to raise prices.
That is perhaps the only thing Smith said that “liberals” enthusiastically - even vehemently - agree with. But, Dear Reader, notice the ellipsis. We need to examine the quotation in full.

People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary.
So if journalists meet together, even for merriment or diversion, there is likely to be a conspiracy against the public. Do journalists do that? From the early days of the Republic, communication among printers was actively encouraged by government subsidy of the mailing of newspapers among the various printers. That was directly counter to Adam Smith’s recommendation that “the law . . .ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies," but it didn’t seem to result in a great deal of conniving among journalists. Newspapers in the pre-Civil War era were notorious for not agreeing about much of anything. Yet now, conservatives complain that there is not a dime’s worth of difference between newspapers, or between broadcast journalists either - and they can cite example after example to support their point.
Why should journalism now be, instead of a cacophony of competing voices, propaganda for a single political perspective? The telegraph. The telegraph, and the AP. Why would the AP homogenize journalism? Because the AP newswire is a virtual meeting of all major journalism outlets in America. One that has been in essentially continuous operation for well over 150 years. One need only refer to the formal name of the AP: the Associated Press.
All the major journalism outlets have been in bed together so long that cooperation among them is a reflex action. Journalists never question the virtues of “competing” journalists; in effect they operate as a mutual admiration society. Journalists are for journalists, and society in general is merely a mark to be manipulated. Politicians can either go along with journalism and get along, accepting positive labels such as “moderate” or “progressive” - or they can defend the public against the attacks of critics who buy ink by the carload, expecting nothing from journalism but critics who apply negative labels to them such as “right wing” or “conservative.”

The terrorist that placed the bomb next to the eight year old boy believed the same as you.

What the media failed to do however, was to identify radical Islam as a possible suspect.

What the American public failed to do, though, was to identify the media as unreliable. Blame all around.

No offense taken i hope. I post quite a few vanities myself, although none as inspirational as your adoption one. Belated congrats on that. Hope that’s going great for you.

I kind of like them. Particularly when they actually have something to say.
