A True Blue Manifesto

My place to vent random thoughts on the way it is and the way it should be.

The Conservative Media...

Today, Tony Snow was named as the new White House press secretary. Snow is a political analyst for Fox News and has had a successful career in both journalism and politics. I don't argue against this, he is a smart man with an education and a resume that is fairly impressive.

The problem I have is the fact that the White House press secretary comes from a news media channel that not only claims to be "fair and balanced" as their slogan goes, but also is notorious for attacking what they call the "liberal media" and their alleged bias in portraying politics to the public. Is it me or is the obvious hypocrisy of Fox News now blatantly obvious to the public? I mean, one of the president's right-hand men has come straight from both the office and news desk of a cable news channel that's clearly a GOP supporter and we now have the proof.

It's a shame that the vast majority of people I have met who watch Fox News (or Faux News as I like to call it) can't even accurately describe what a liberal is (see previous blog). Nor can this person accept that the channel is clearly more conservative than ANY other news channel or network news program is liberal. We get an hour of Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report and they get a whole channel. I think there should be a liberal version of Fox News, but that's not even the point. The point is that there is a group of people in this country led by the Christian Coalition and the likes of Jerry Faldwell and Pat Robertson and Dubbyuh and the whole crew of swines who want to shove a very narrow-minded agenda down the throats of Americans. Sadly, half of America is following along like sheep to the crook of a shepherd and they are blind to their misfortunes and ignorance.

Yet there is one more collection of selfish beings that help lead these sheep to their chopping block to twist their minds to believe what they want them to believe and do what they want them to do. These people, if you chose to call them people, manipulate and take advantage of uninformed viewers to proclaim their almighty knowledge of what is right and wrong and condemn those who do not agree. They use offensive language and abusive slang to hook their following into thinking it's alright to be better than the other half of America who are just a bunch of "stupid liberals." Yes, this group of CEO's and talkshow hosts look at people like me and snicker at my will to oppose them with nothing more than a few dollars a month to my political party while they donate millions to their PAC's and politicians via the disgusting sewer known as campaign finance. And now they are in the White House, the Mecca of corruption for the last 6 years and for the next 2 ahead of us.

They are the conservative media.
