The Left is Really After Scott Walker

First the Washington Post went after Scott Walker for not finishing college, implying that he dropped out for suspicious reasons, now the New York Times is "correcting" a story claiming that he was responsible for the lay-off of an outstanding teacher, the only problem with the story was that she got laid-off before he took office.  The leftist media have no shame and in my mind no credibility.

Brian Williams Isn't the First

Brian Williams' admission that he fabricated a story is not the first nor, I contend, will it be the last case of the media making up stories for a variety of reasons.  In this case it was to pump up his persona, which isn't so bad considering he is not a journalist but a tv personality.   The unfortunate thing is that the ever shrinking audiance he plays to keeps watching his program and believes that what he says is mostly true.  It should be apparent, but is not, that the major media organizations in this country have agendas and is following them in what they choose to report.  If there are no real stories to further their agendas they make up stories or alter the facts of stories to support their views. It is not something new, Walter Duranty a reporter for the New York Times in the 1930 reported on the Soviet Union during the time of Stalin's efforts to remake that country into a communist utopia and apparently bought into the regime's propaganda in reporting the successes that were allegedly achieved.  What Mr. Duranty missed, wheather purposely or not, was that Stalin starved millions of Ukranians in order to acheive his goals.  The Times printed his stories and readers knew nothing of the starvation until much later, in fact most people never heard of the mass murder until decades later,  but the Times and Mr. Duranty had an agenda, and still do to this day, does anyone remeber Jayson Blair the Times reporter who fabricated stories in 2003.  The New York Times and NBC are not alone in the alleged persuit of the truth, remeber Dan Rather late of CBS News, Peter Arnet of CNN, Janet Cook of the Washington Post, or how about Rolling Stone Magazine and the UVA gang rape story?  The mass media in this country is out of control and will remain so until the public wises up and stops watching and reading, but that is not likely to happen, come Monday no one will remember Brain Williams' lie.

Does anyone remember Februry 2013?  I know people in general have short memories, but the media really can't remember anything, or they conveniently forget what they were previously so worked up over.  Back then the sequester had just been agreed to and the media was as usual spounting the Obama line that the economy would be ruined by the draconian cuts insisted upon by those selfish Republicans, in fact Obama was barnstorming the country like chicken little warning of breadlines and tent cities on the national mall.  Well, fast forward to January 2015, the economy grew 5% in the last quarter and unemployment has droped to 5.6%, but does anybody in the media remember their dire predictions, hell no.  What has really happened is the government has gotten out of the way of the economy allowing it to grow, now if it could only move over just a little more, say to the right, and reform the tax code we might see something great.  Oh, and by the way some lefties, specifically Martin O'Malley of Maryland, are blaming sequester for the shortfall in the state budget that his tax and spend policies created, and this guy wants to run for President, good luck with that buddy.

Media's Double Standard

 The story of Bill Cosby's past sexual harrassment activities is continuing to occupuy the main stream media so I looked at an earlier post on this blog concerning Bill Clinton's past activities visa a vie the opposite sex and found the Sunday, May 18, 2014 post about how the media aided the Clintons in making Monica Lewinski the villain.  Interesting to say the least, but yet another example of the media's liberal bias in covering all sorts of stories.  Bill Clinton is lionized to this day by the media and there is never a mention of what he did to the women in is life, he is the Champion of the left wing while Bill Cosby is now the villian and every women who comes forward is believed without question.  Clinton's victims are all liars and stalkers, while Cosby's are innocent virgins who never wanted anything but to be loved and admired by the great man.  I am in no way excusing what Cosby is alleged to have done, which if true, should make him a piria, I just want to point out what happens to anyone who crosses the leftist media in this country.

What do words mean?

What is the definition of war?  Does it only mean the use of ground forces, or does it mean the engagement of an enemy by what ever means necessary to achieve victory?  If it means the latter, we are at war with Islamic Terrorists in spite of the failure of our leader to use that term, or for that matter his failure to even identify the forces we are fighting.  The name of our enemy is ISIS, the key word in that identifier is Islamic.  Why won't our leader identify the enemy?  Is it because of his upbringing, the dreams of his father, or his fear of offending a group of people?  While we are on the subject of definitions, what does the phrase "Bring to Justice" mean?  Every time the Islamic Terrorists (there, I said it) attack and kill an American we are told the perps will be "Brought to Justice", but it rarely if ever happens, unless by bringing to justice we mean killing by the use of drones.  But in my dictionary that's not justice its retribution.
