I have been screaming for years, ever since corporations were allowed to own the news, that the media sets the agenda, especially in the political realm…….and I know….you want some proof, right?
Let us take the last in the never ending dates for GOP debates……the CBS sponsored billed as the “foreign policy” debate…….and here is the time allotted to each candidate….
Rick Perry 7:45
Mitt Romney 6:30
Newt Gingrich 6:00
Herman Cain 5:45
Rick Santorum 5:15
Jon Huntsman 3:30
Michele Bachmann 3:15
Ron Paul 1:30
Take a good look at the list…the top three have a combined average of “ZERO” percent experience in foreign policy….okay I guess we could give Mitt-ster a nod…after all he was the head of the Salt Lake City Olympic Committee….but the rest would not know a Sunni if it bit them where the sun don’t shine….my point is that the ONLY person on that stage with real foreign policy experience was ignored….in favor of two absolute novices and a guy that few in the GOP will stand behind……instead of Hunts man, who was the only adult on the stage and the only one that would have adult answers to complex foreign policy issues….
I mean come on! Santorum got more time than Huntsman….and then there is Cain who cannot tell what he believes about the Libyan situation….that is if he can find it on a map….apparently CBS has chosen the people they want to be in the final battles for the nomination….CBS is NO longer a credible media institution……it has now proven to be irrelevant…this is NOT its first time but it is the last time……In my eyes, CBS can be crossed off the list of organizations to watch for news…their bias is all too familiar in the news world today….they are NO better than FOX and its charge to endorse candidates.
