Journalism Takes another Hit

It is becoming clear that the American media is biased, prejudiced, and, therefore, worthless for reporting the news. Which is a really sad fact to digest. One of the things that has set our country aside from others has been our freedom of the press to report the actions of our government. This has allowed us to keep an eye on how our elected officials are behaving or misbehaving.

However, the American people have lost our "third estate" since the media has swung into full support of the Democrat party in general and specifically president Obama. Their pandering during the election was embarrassing, and they have done little to correct their faults since getting their candidate elected.

In fact, they have embarrassed themselves even further as they have had to blatantly ignore their president's gaffs, lies, and failures. The latest example of their unprofessional bias, though, is truly amazing.

To see formerly respected media gleefully attacking a non-elected spokes person because she used speech notes, while excusing their president's constant use of expensive (tax-payer-sponsored) teleprompters is ... well it's just stupid on their part. They have blindly defended their candidate's need for technological assistance to keep from making fools of himself and his media fans, yet when Sarah Palin used a common speech prompt - writing point notes on her hand, they attacked and called her everything from incompetent to dishonest.

The American media has apparently run out of legitimate issues to report, such as the economic mess their president has only made much worse, or his efforts to socialize corporations and the banking industries. Their fear of competition for their political machine is so obvious they must not fear the American public's ridicule or judgment.

Shame on you. Bad journalists, bad, bad journalists!
