My Opinion On Breitbart

I didnt know Breitbart on a personal level, I can only go by his public works, and it was horrendous. I think it is crazy that when people die we disregard what they did on earth and say "I feel bad for his family, so sad he died". Did we feel bad when Osama Bin Laden was killed? He had a family, but his works was so destructive it made his death a celebratory event. That's how I feel about Breitbart. I would think that when I die my deeds is what I will be judged by, not by the fact that I am dead-we all die.   It's what we do when we are alive that matters, it's what you do when you are alive that determines how I feel about your death.

It's All Planned


oops
Could Planned Parenthood have been targeted by Republicans for defunding because of the White House? Not the policies that come from the White House but the man sitting in the oval office. 

Remember ACORN, it was targeted because Obama and his campaign worked with the organization. ACORN helped low income people, you know “the poor”. The poor is also interchangeable with black people and minorities and people on food stamps and people from the ghetto and illegals. The poor are viewed as parasites feeding off government handouts. 

ACORN helped them gain access to services and register to vote and they were very effective at registering voters. Remember how quickly it all happened, approximately one year after Obama taking the Oath of Office, ACORN was defunct. Republicans attacked it and Democrats abandoned it.

Jon Stewart Is Right, Rachel Maddow Doesn't Get It


OK after reading the commentary around the web, I finally saw the much talked about interview with Rachel Maddow and Jon Stewart. It leaves me very sad, and disappointed in "the left". I think Jon did a great job explaining his intentions and what the rally was. "I could have gotten on the field" he said in trying to show a distinction between himself and real activism. He also did an excellent job explaining his show and what he considers “media”, what leaves me sad is that Rachel just did not get it but stayed stuck on trying to make the "lefty points". I don’t understand why she didn’t get that Jon’s show is a criticism of news. Jon is saying there is very little journalism going on in cable news, and everything is sensationalized, when there is a real opportunity to do in-depth reporting because they do have twenty-four hours of time to fill. Instead of showing lock-up/lock-down MSNBC could do real investigating , and try something different like exposing corruption as apposed to just mimicking Fox News. I have long complained about the redundancy of the media which Jon referred to as “the relay” and the way the other channels not only became fox-like but are now totally allowing Fox News to write the narrative. The other channels have basically just started covering fox and that is why the country is going to heck, because no matter what the fox agenda gets out. media if you don’t get what Jon is saying then shame on you.

I think what Jon was saying is fox has done a good job of De-legitimizing the media, while wielding a great deal of power themselves. If they report on Fox News that the mainstream media is just out to get them and they turn on MSNBC and all they see are people criticizing fox and calling Glenn Beck crazy and showing clips of reports from Fox News, then what are they to think. Wouldn’t you believe that what Fox was saying may be true? Instead of the other two networks sticking to hard news and facts; they have helped to reinforced fox’s caricature of media. I don’t need the media telling me what to be mad about, I just want the information and I’ll decide if it upsets me. The tea-partiers disrupting town hall meetings would have better contrasted if the person delivering the information weren’t also yelling.
