Travelgate was of course the nefarious work of the VRWC but today's AG scandal just bores me no end, I DON'T CARE, watching the news these days is like prison boredom. Most of the msm are now owned or run by corporations and so it's all the same product. The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, for example, reports uncritically on anything coming out of that formidable monolith known as the cancer industry. The Newshour with Jim Lehrer is the most objective, nonbiased mainstream organ of the press out there today precisely because PBS is not beholden to corporations, it is run by the public so to speak although for some reason you get alot of queen stuff on this channel at which time I surf on over to the Home Shopping Network.
The more modern a society becomes the more laws we pass. We like to feel nurtured and protected by the State especially women which is why they vote so heavily Democratic as compared to men. There's nothing like getting that ripe government teat overflowing with milk and honey. Laws are commonly passed of which we have no knowledge and what would be our views on burgeoning legislation are not always solicited. Congress has to relevant at all times in every nook and corner of our lives. We'll never get back what we lost, that original vision of the Founding Fathers of minimal government, our loss.
I hate to see anybody lose their job, I may even disagree with the firing of those eight federal prosecutors, but does it rise to the level of scandal? I think not.
ReplyDeleteThe Bill Moyers' inspired program on PBS is definitely left-wing but the show NOW makes no attempt to hide its bias like CBS, NBC and ABC. It is what it is, take it or leave it, you don't have to watch it. For my money the best news program on the air today is still Jim Lehrer even if Michael Savage does call him a "baggy-eyed Bolshevik" (???).
