The Senator: You bet I am. There's a lot to be afraid of when the media and the people get beyond the control of anybody in politics.
Yes, talk radio tends to expose irrational, unethical and dishonesty politicians.
It's different with the mainstream media. The way it works in the media is that if you're a reporter, journalist, or publisher you want as many doors open as possible. One does not open doors to a reporter or publisher that intends to objectively report on the crimes of the person holding the door open. Doors are only opened for media that tow the line. When a reporter or publisher steps too deep into honesty and integrity by objectively reporting their crimes the doors slam shut. Those inside hiding government crime -- there's a leviathan's worth -- then make great fanfare of boogiemen that will cause great harm to people and society. And the media parrots it to their audiences adding their own spin for good measure. It's a colossal hoax.
