When the media decides to turn on one of its own they are relentless. They've decided that they want Hillary Clinton out of the race, so anything that she says is put into the distortion machine until even she looks bewildered at the subsequent reporting. In order to remind people that campaigns often go well into the summer, she mentioned that Bobby Kennedy was still campaigning for the democratic nomination in June of 1968 when he was shot down. Well, one would have thought that she had pulled the trigger herself. Perhaps she was the fabled woman in the polka dot dress that fled the Bobby Kennedy murder scene. Anything she's says now will be distorted. If she eats a bratwurst in a down-home diner I'm sure they'll uncover Nazi ties to her and her family. The very mechanisms that have protected her and her affiliations for so long have spun against her, at least for now. They believe, and perhaps rightly so, that her past would have a polarizing, negative effect on the Democrats' chances to win in November. It would energize otherwise alienated conservatives to come out and vote against her. Karl Rove wouldn't have to do anything this time. The momentum of hate against her would take the day. So, in order to facilitate a changing of the guard in Washington, "The Press" has moved its talking points against her. Adieu, Hillary. Fame is fleeting and fickle. Especially among the propagandists at the news desks. After all, where else would some sexy screw-ups get a chance to earn seven figures for reading from a telepromt? One doesn't get paid that kind of money for telling the truth. One gets crucified for telling the truth. Here's a rule of thumb for you readers out there. If a journalist is making more than $25,000 annually for doing his trade, he's lying. When you read of the likes of Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Wolf Blitzer et al., receiving multi-million dollar salaries, you should stop listening to them or watching them. No one is trying to kill them, either. Surely this would happen if they told the whole truth even once on their ridiculous TeeVee shows. Yes, in the end they'll screetch in Hell forever. But in the meantime we're stuck with them. But just because you know there are piles of feces in the road doesn't mean you have to step in them. Be careful of what you let into your mind, and don't watch those creatures. |
