A most dismal reality we live in, indeed. The options possible are very unpleasant.

One thing the WMD hissy-fit makes crystal clear.

America must never again allow a democRAT to soil our White House.

They are out to destroy us.

And sadly, I have to accept that Democrats truly do value their own political power more than the security of the United States, and that the American media is not an institution with a duty, but one with an agenda.

The agenda of the Democrats is to win power, and the agenda of journalism is to attract attention and to influence people. The way to attract attention is to raise questions about the things people depend on; that motivates the superficial, negative tone of journalism. And that superficiality and negativity produce a propaganda wind of cynical criticism of conservatism.

The easy way to get power in a democracy is to sail downwind of that propaganda barrage; those who do that are called "liberals". Liberals parroting and emphasizing the superficial and negative tone they get from journalists flatters journalists--and with no qualm at all the journalists return the favor.

Each of the groups, journalists and liberal politicians, expect as a right what in fact the other gives them.

"When I tell Caesar he hates flatters he smiles--being then most flattered.

It would be downright hilarious if it wasn't so sad that the liberals all of a sudden care about truth, honesty, and fact-checking.

Hypocrisy thy name is liberal.

Hey "truth seeking libs":

WHERE WERE YOU DURING THE 90'S?
