The Price Of Media Malpractice
IBD Editorials ^ | June 30, 2009

Media: They laugh at his jokes. They say he's the smartest guy in Congress. And 90% of them agree with him politically. Small wonder the havoc Barney Frank wreaks on the economy gets so little attention.


America has its share of problems, to be sure. But one of the most pernicious is the bias that permeates the media. We've been saying this for years, noting how it leads to half-covered issues, an ill-informed populace and wretched legislation that dogs us for decades.

Never, however, has it been as pervasive as now. Yes, the fact that the media are head over heels for our new president has made the favoritism more obvious.

When a major TV network like ABC, whose employees gave 80 times as much in financial contributions to Obama's presidential campaign as they gave to his opponent's, lets the president commandeer its news programming to tout a plan to take over the health care industry, it's hard not to notice.

But it goes much deeper than Barack Obama. It also involves Rep. Frank and other politicians who are in large part responsible for the financial meltdown that led to the economic disaster from which we continue to suffer.

How we got into this, the worst economic fix since the Great Depression, is the most monumental question of our time. Yet despite the information that we and other non-mainstream media have put out, people still haven't connected the dots.

He's also a bully when he gets a microphone and a gavel in hand.

The sheeple won’t wake up until they’re all fenced in and there’s nowhere to go and it’s too late to do anything about it and then they’ll say, hey, wait a minute, we’ve been had.

Media Malpractice (definition):

When the monster who destroyed the US and (subsequently) world economies, setting off the Great Depression 2, is touted as a hero by a corrupted and maliciously deceptive media.

No newspaper “journalist” should be without a current resume. Right now, they’re a dime a dozen and the paper purge is far from over. The object of their worship will be putting them in soup lines before his term is up.

Talk about chickens coming home to roost!
