Journalism's darkest hour
The San Mateo Daily Journal ^ | September 29, 2012 | Dwight L. Schwab

Posted on 10/01/2012 6:35:56 PM PDT by Navy Patriot

In case anyone just arrived from Mars, the mainstream media wants Mitt Romney to fail in his quest for the White House.

Surprised?

They will do whatever possible as “legitimate journalists” to collaborate with the Obama re-election campaign — shamefully so.

(Snip)

The mainstream media is in the tank for Obama. Every student journalism can recognize that. It’s too late for most already involved “professionally.” Most of them have already violated most of the ethical rules and sold their souls to Obama long ago.

As a journalism graduate from the University of Oregon, I am personally ashamed.

"So what’s in it for the drive-by’s. The ones in DC might get a cushy gov’t gig, but the ones in East Podunk? What do they get out of it ?"

These journalists are just democrats/socialists. They go into journalism to advance socialism not to be reporters or have a career or make money ( those are way down on the list). They know that as reporters they can hide stories that will hurt the advancement of socialism (democrats). They know that as reporters they are in a position to fool and brainwash many. They feel they can make a difference as reporters where as an accountant they can only preach to their office coworkers, here they can preach to thousands or millions per year.

It's sickening to see these reporters worship Castro , Chavez , Obama and other socialist dictators. How stupid can you be thinking that socialism works? well they do.

“it’s not the lies the media tells, it’s the truth they hide.”

Excellent tagline material but I still like mine better :-)

What I am at a loss to explain, is how the drive-by media benefits from the advance of the socialist cause.

Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable? This was originally humor, not a mission statement.

Yet this is exactly what the media views as their jobs. They simply show their bias by what is news. The standard tactic of if a Republican is accused of malfeasance, party ID is in the first few words, yet when it is a democRAT accused of the same malfeasance the party ID is in the last paragraph if mentioned at all.

So what’s in it for the drive-by’s. The ones in DC might get a cushy gov’t gig, but the ones in East Podunk? What do they get out of it ? Or is it a conditioned Pavlovian response to the stimulus of the downtrodden versus the well off.


I knew a Police Sergeant years ago who had an explanation. He said when your job brings you mostly into contact with criminals and scum you tend to develop the mindset that everyone is the same way.

Reporters also do the same, Criminals, the poor, those in trouble, financial, legal, family etc. After awhile they think that the public at large is all the same because who they come in contact with as they do their jobs. Only as reporters they carry a big stick known as newspaper circulation, TV and Radio news reporting. And they think they can change public opinion if they just keep hammering at the public the same ideas over and over. And it works eventually. Why? Because the medium they use doesn’t permit much back talk and free-flow of ideas and opinion.

Today we have Facebook and other social media based iside the internet. That allows a more free-flow of ideas back and forth. And the MSM bigwig reporters are now starting to feel the heat as individuals now can have the same soap box as the MSM and in many ways it’s more effective than the TV and Radio formats.
