Mad as hell at the Media Part 1

Left, right, whatever. I'm mad as hell at the media. When they're not so busy obfuscating the truth, they're on their little anti-free speech agendas. Whether it means attempts to communicate merely what the power elites want them to communicate, or whether it is--all in the name of God--man-made attempts to legislate morality and pop culture in society at large (whereas God's Law as set down in the Bible commands that morality be legislated in the home), or whether it is to pass laws regulating what can and cannot be posted in cyberspace, I must raise my small voice at this outrage of muzzling our First Amendment right of Freedom of Speech. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. Further, I must raise my cybervoice at "patriot", "constitutionalist," or otherwise conservative/right wing attacks on free speech, which not only will balance my multitudinal attacks on the liberal/socialist/Clintonista attacks so well cited on "http://WorldNetDaily.com" and others, but will show my "agenda-free" approach.

Attacks on free-speech from the left:

In as much as the Establishment Media supports the agenda of the left (that is, pro-Big Government), I speak here of Big Media's unwillingness to go much beyond "official sources" when it covers a story. "Official sources" nowadays almost always means cover-up. Wag the dog. All the news the power elites think is fit to print. And, when they do print the truth, it is always well after the fact. For instance, now, suddenly, "http://cnn.com" is telling us that, yes, NATO did bomb thousands of innocents, a large number of them Kosovar Albanians, during its Serbia-Kosovo adventure. It may take them several more months for them to tell us that, yes, Clinton has committed treason in selling our high technology to China. Another for instance: it has now come to light that Serb "atrocities" that were peddled before the public to justify continuing the war were far less than originally reported. According to the "World Socialist Website":

"These reports have been simply ignored by the "newspapers of record " - the New York Times and the Washington Post - which enthusiastically backed the bombing of Yugoslavia and retailed the government claims of mass murder, rape and genocide that were used to justify the war and manipulate public opinion."

The Big Media tools that might be hurting free speech the most are their polls. Like the wag the dog technique, Big Media uses polls, not to reinforce a pre-existing consensus, but to create it. "http://www.washingtonpost.com", for instance, doesn't report what folks think but influences people how to think by the use of their polls. At the beginning of NATO's little war, it ran a poll specifying that well over 50 percent of Americans supported NATO's "humanitarian" intervention into a sovereign nation that had not done anything against US interests, but that opinion might change if troops started coming home in body bags. Other mainstream newspapers ran similar polls with similar results. This was done to ensure that Americans, who have this propensity for wanting to be on the winning side, would morally support this illegal and immoral war. Previous to this misadventure, numerous polls (including a WorldNetDaily poll!) showed that most Americans backed Clinton, despite his lies and contempt for justice, during the impeachment farce. This, too, ensured that the public--which might feel like questioning Clinton's moral character to lead this nation--would think the correct way. After all, a crisis over the presidency would upset the average American's comfort zone too much. It has been alleged that this media owned by the power elites only polls folks in regions of the country that they are reasonably sure supports the liberal/socialist agenda--the East Coast, southern California, yuppie-type suburbia and minority areas (minorities are seen to consistently vote for the Democrat-liberal-socialist regime), disregarding rural areas, places like northern Idaho and other "angry-white-male"-type areas. This practice may be true, and I am sure there are studies that will verify this, or not. Regardless. Polls are taken mostly to create, not verify, public opinion in this era when politics is run by consensus.
