Arianna Huffington wrote in her column regarding the media, which our Free Speech class discussed yesterday about how truthful these broadcast and print journalists are. According to her she has been thinking some more about CNN hiring Tony Snow as a commentator. Coming in the wake of Newsweek's hiring of Karl Rove, and the New York Times' hiring of Bill Kristol, the mainstream media's embrace of these unabashed propagandists has revealed a self-loathing streak a mile wide. Have they been so cowed by the Right's relentless branding of them as "liberal" that they feel compelled to show they're not sleeping with the enemy? And make no mistake, Rove, Kristol, and Snow are the enemies -- of honesty, truth, facts, reality, and the public's right to know." (Arianna Huffington)
We have the right to know... the honest-to-God truth about these current events through our honest, unbiased media. Like you, I don't want to watch some news that are made up opinions camouflaged as facts by very influential people who are supporters of the current administration. And as all these media info unfold in front of our very own eyes while they bamfuzzled us, poor ignorant news consumers, these news publishers successfully punish their enemies and reward their friends!
Remember when we have been advised to be afraid? Be very, very afraid as the influential conservatism maneuver us into thinking of what is more important! These are the times to be afraid. Let's open our eyes because any lover of independent journalism knows that the $120-a-barrel crude oil was a story that should bring a tear to the eye of any journalist worth his salt, not the great gossip section filled with political opinions disguised as news!
