It's been pretty much proven that the media no longer has any left wing bias that Spiro Agnew accused it of. That was a long time ago. But increasingly the media has more and more come to accept anything the White House feeds them. Investigative reporting is dead. Ronald Reagan started to undo the Watergate oriented media. Today the thing is to be palsey-walsey with the White House. Despite doing inferior work salaries for network reporters are way up. They know that if they don't "play ball" and ask any hard questions, they will never get "access" to their "inside source" again. John Dean has spoken of the first three branches of government being destroyed but indeed it is the fourth branch, the Press, that has suffered the most adversely. News is now part of the "entertainment division". You see things like this obsession with celebreties such as Brittany Speers and Martha Stewart and Anna Nicole Smith. What's not being reported on are the changes that have taken place in Congress in the way bills are passed, which is different from what it used to be. Instead of a vote taking fifteen minutes votes can be "open" for hours as various congressmen are bribed. Congressmen often don't even read legeslation. The Republicans are still in "control" of congress, despite losing the election. The democrats have refused, basically, to take the reins of power. There are some 84 bills pending that could be passed but the Republicans won't let them be. Of course most of what you hear about the war is sentamentality. They will focus on a single trooper's life or how much time he has spent with his wife and children. They won't tell you about all the people there who are fed up and disillusioned with the War. They won't tell you about all the Iraqis who want us gone.
One of the most disgusting aspects of the media is the way they cover protests. Often they will portray the protestors as being without an cause and disruptive and inept. John Kerry is a coward. We know this now. In retrospective he never should have been the Democratic Nominee in 2004. His words have always struck me as plastic and over rehearsed, and to be frank, I didn't vote for him. His words on the Iraq War were cautious to the point of being meaningless. But the way he handled the Swift Boat people case was most telling. He did not refute anything they said but let them have their way in the media. His reaction and handling of the event may have lost his party the election. But now we have the case of the protestor who was Tazed. And that's all you saw of it on TV. You didn't see Kerry's speech or the question this college student journalism student asked. He was armed- - with a book. The book was on how the democrats lost Ohio due to election fraud. He asked Kerry if he had read the book and Kerry said he had and he'd be glad to answer the guy's question. Then the cops came and got him after his microphone was shut off. (?) Clearly he was being given the equiveland of "the hook" on stage plays. Clearly the cops had express instructions as to what sort of people he wanted "dealt with" as Montgomary Burnes would say. The student asked Kerry, 'Just think, you could have won the election of 2004. How do you feel about that. When the student was grabbed by the police but before he was tased, his fellow students began applauding his apprehension. Clearly "something funny is going on around here". What's wrong with the young people today? Them are such minions of the establishment they actually applaud the police. Clearly the student did not to be tased, but they have the equipment so they might as well use it. And what was John Kerry doing all this time? He sat there mute, watching, no doubt in approval. At any time had he disagreed with anything he could have said "This is not the action I had in mind when I instructed you on how to act. Let him ask his question". You know on one of my "pages" back in 1968 I wrote down the slogan "Blessed are the miek, for they have someone to do their dirty work for them". Something like that. John Kerry disgusts me.
Something else that disgusts me is the Phil Specter trial. Now they are reporting a hung jury but they aren't comeing out with that. They're playing to the media milking the suspense for everything it's worth. Now they are going to "reinstruct the jury" tomorrow, with all of us clutching the arms of our chairs in anticipation. Anything for ratings. From what I heard few in the jury think their minds will change. It could even get worse. They might go for all out acquital. Well, pumpkin pie" did the prosecution in. This was one of many witnesses who was pressured into defaming Lana Clarkson. This murder happened twice. It happened once in 2003 and it happened again in the court room as the case was being tried. I guess the question is can a poor man get the sort of justice a rich person can buy?
Two strange events then occurred. I went out and noticed the three day olf crescent moon in the sky and I saw
On this whole racial case in
A week or more ago the Federation told me they would give me a sign at the appropriate phase of the new crescent moon with in BOC terminology is the 3rd day of the moon, or usually the 2nd. day the moon is visible. If there are any other signs out there I’m not aware of, I’d like to know what they are.
