Anyone scrutinizing performance of the news media will readily see and smell that there is something "rotten in Denmark." But lo and behold, out of the ashes of the golden age of journalism, an anemic albatross rather than a phoenix has risen.
Empowered yet impotent, rabbity reporters repeatedly fail to challenge and expose the duplicities of ALL our political leaders. When Bush split his crotch on Kerry’s war record, no one seemed to notice. An objective examination of the Bush blabbers shows 2-5 times more flips than Kerry, plus a long list of broken promises and policy flops costing American lives and wasting billions of dollars.
The media perpetuate the flip flop myths, and conveniently forget that while Kerry was fighting, George aWol Bush was hiding. They also vastly underreport the tens of thousands flocking to the Kerry-Edwards banner, while Bush hides in military enclaves with "invited guests."
The only difference between Kerry's Vietnam views and the majority of America is that he was smart enough to change sooner than most, and brave enough to do it publicly. Veterans who can't deal with Kerry's war record are classic examples of how the system has failed these heroes who clearly are unable to overcome their emotional scars. Their support of Bush, a cowardly double-talker who violated military law, and who has consistently failed to support them, is a circular firing squad of patriots putting emotion before common sense.
I submit that there is another candidate in this race, the media, who are in fact running as a “parasitic appendage” kissing up to Bush in the manner of John McCain. Failure of a majority of the media to condemn Bush's unprecedented campaign of character assassination and negativity is absolutely shameful. Junk Journalism has resulted in the loss of journalistic integrity, a violation of the public trust, and suffocation of democracy.
I am a veteran of two branches of the service, and a gun owner. What is notable is not my Doctorate in Political Science, or my Medical Degree, but the fact that I am old enough to remember when reporters and news services were a class act: They were aggressive, incisive, and fair instead of apologetic court jesters and palace eunuchsOut of the ashes of the golden age of journalism, an anemic albatross rather than a phoenix has risen.
