I'm beginning to wonder if our modern media will be the ruin of this nation. It's more than obvious that the media's job is no longer to inform citizens of this country, no rather its to create controversies where no controversy exists, and if need be, to create a false controversy. It's a place where disproven talking points and falsehoods are given equal weight in a debate against the truth and facts. Where outright lies are not called bold faced lies. It gives equal creedence to paid shills as it does experts. The results of this over the decades has been to not only replace progress with inertia, but at it's worst to further agendas that have actually hurt this country. Sorry Murrow and Cronkite, but your reporting and facts have been replaced with taking heads yelling over each other and Jerry Springer townhalls.

When I look back to the recount of 2000, Im amazed people were actually fighting to get this dimwit elected. Can you imagine if George W. Bush actually campaigned in 2000 on what he actually has accomplished 8 years later? Well lets do that. Lets imagine if W's convention speech went something like this......

Americans are not paying enough for gas, a gallon is only 1.46 a gallon. I pledged that gas will be anywhere from 3.50 to 4 dollars a gallon at the end of my second term. Im an old oil man and I also promise tax breaks to oil companies as they make records profits. My comprehensive energy policy will also means Americans will may more for natural gas to heat their homes and electricity. Rising energy prices will also lead to higher food prices.

Our illustrious media strikes again, like clockwork in time to get this campaign off the issues and down in the slop.

Tonight on MSNBC's Verdict Program Lawrence Odonnell cut through all the media hype regarding the democratic race. First off, while pundits like Morning Joes Scarborough and Mika wondered why Obama wouldnt pander on the gas tax, Odonnell cut through the bull. He made a point Obama should be using. In 1993 President Bill Clinton raised the gas tax 5 cents a gallon. So hoosiers and tarheels, Hillary, ready on day one to be COPANDER in chief, is offering you 18 cents a gallon relief for 3 months while you have been paying 5 cents more a gallon for 15 years because of her husband.

Its now more apparent than every that the talking head media has jumped the shark of the profession of journalism. We have now had a solid week of Reverand Wight. Last Thursday it started with leaks of what Wright will say on Bill Moyers, then Friday, the weekend we had the NAACP speech. An appearance that CNN rebroadcast several times. Monday was the press club appearance(again broadcast live), Tuesday was Obama repudiation and today as analysis of Obamas repudiation. The major news networks wont cover congressional investigations live unless their about Roger Clemens talking about steroids....torture, propaganda, wire tapping arent just that important to them.
