I have been bitching about the MSM for years….telling the world that they are nothing but a propaganda arm of the state….their stories are selected to drive the conversation in the direction of the “official” stand of the government.
I have ranted……I have railed…….I have bitched…….and yelled….but to no avail…..it seems that most people take the MSM as the honest brokers of the news……and that my friends is CRAP!
I have also wanted for a long time for someone in the media to grow a set and stand up for what is right….the TRUTH……that the American media is biased and only reports on items that drives American policy and word it so that the listener will believe what is told to them.
I use to respect MSNBC because they at least would have all sides of a question and the pundits to talk on it……I mean they would book liberals, conservatives and even Tea Party members to talk on the subjects. I said I use to respect them but now that is gone because of a recent occurrence…..because of what action they took they, MSNBC, will NO longer be used by me as a reliable source……..
