As 2014 comes to an end, and the new year begins, we want to highlight some of the worst abuses by America’s news media in the past year. We have picked 10 stories for which there were general narratives presented by the mainstream media, which either ignored the larger truths to be gleaned from these stories, or, in some cases, the media missed the story altogether. We easily could have picked 15 topics that met those criteria, but arbitrarily chose to look at 10, and in no particular order.

John whitehead of the Rutherford institute once wrote a book called “The Second American Revolution.” We need a third one to throw all these bastards out.
10?
No shite.
Media IGNORED: The black teen who shot the 13-month old white baby dead, point blank in the face while being pushed in his stroller by his mom.. Can you imagine if the races were reversed???
That list could be 10 times longer due to the lack of liberal media not reporting the stories. They have to protect their messiah.
