There is a report today of a secret journalist group comprised of 1000 progressive journalists. So, what is wrong when journalists have strong personal views as to how government should function?  We all have personal views, so why is it wrong for journalists to have these views?  In short, it is not wrong, as long as those views do not cause their reporting to be agenda driven.  I would argue that much of the reporting we have seen over the past 6 years has been agenda driven, and the lives of most Americans are the worse for it. 

There are several examples where this agenda has negatively impacted Americans.  Selective reporting has shielded the democrats, the more progressive republicans and Barack Obama from the public holding them accountable the purposeful decline of this country’s economic and military capability.  

Let’s look at the economy.  The main news outlets have seldom if ever reported on the massive number of people who are no longer looking for work in this economy.  They don’t focus on how the jobs that have been created are part-time and pay less.  The loss of real wages over the past 6 years of 7% is glossed over.  The increase of poverty, welfare, disability payments, and the plight of the minority community has been ignored.  All these elements point to the failure of the policies that the progressive media support.   If they reported these things honestly, then the push to change these failures would be tremendous.  Blinded by ideology and agenda, the media props up these failing policies.  With the addition of massive monetization of our currency and an ever increasing debt, these same media are propping up a system that will fail and is failing in such a way as to exponentially increase the suffering that will occur as these failures compound. Honest reporting would provide people with a mechanism to minimized the suffering.  Does the press want Americans to suffer?  If so,  that is pretty bad as their whole existence was guaranteed by our constitution?

Racism is another area where the press has not only ignored the truth, but has actually made problems worse.   The history of racism in this country is not all that pretty.  Over the past 30 years (Excepting the last 6) I have seen views among most people becoming decidedly less racist.  There will always be some that have racist views, but instead of focusing on the great improvements and focusing on encouraging that color blind view, the media has encouraged division.  They have raced after the George Zimmermans and failed to report on the black on black violence in the inner cities.  They present some version of events that helps justify more violence while fueling the race bate industry.  Where is the true crusade to change the inner city.  Getting good jobs and out of poor circumstances is the proven way of changing the inner city.  Instead of promoting that, the media promotes hate, often sewing distrust in the groups that are willing to help.  

So, if you look at the media today, you do not hear the truth.  If you lose your job, you can blame NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC, and MSNBC.   Unless they media changes and starts reporting the truth, people need to hold them responsible.  They need to stop buying from the advertisers that support these outlets.  Unless the media is unbiased, democracy dies.

A couple of days ago Alabama Power announced the closing of two coal powered electric plants citing the specifically Federal mandates as the reason they were closing the plants.  So all hail king Obama for being the master at creating poverty where none existed previously.  So how much misery did he bring this time?

The workers at these plants are losing their jobs.  Perhaps they will get federal money, but it will be less income than they had.  So they will buy less.  The stores and businesses in the region around those plants will sell less so they will lay off workers, so they too will have less income. The miners that provided coal for these facilities will lose their jobs and so will those that sell things to the miners.  The people that make mining equipment will lose their jobs.  The people that sell the parts needed to make the mining equipment will lose their jobs. The people that provide the raw materials to make the parts that make the mining equipment will lose their jobs. The truckers that drive the parts, the coal, the equipment and the raw materials will lose their jobs.  There will be fewer trains running to deliver these goods so people who run the railways will lose their jobs.  

How is this possible in the land of opportunity that the federal government steals opportunity out from under its own people?  Who pays for the federal benefits that ‘soften the blow’ this represents?  That would be anyone still working.  Why would anyone want to work in a nation that steals every ounce of  hard earned income to fund an agenda not supported by most of the citizens?

This is a crime.  If you are working you need to stand up and voice your dissent.  It is time to take back our government from those that are giving our country away and reigning down poverty on us all.   Real income has dropped by 7% since Obama took office.  This was and is his design.  Can you live when it has dropped by 50%?   March on Washington.  Remove every regulation of the last 10 years.  Abolish the IRS.    It is time for change.
