Read below about how the Obama administration has put a priority in time and resources recently on attacking FoxNews and sending out the clowns (such as Axelrod and Emanuel, pictured above) to do the bidding (link below). "Not a real news organization" seems to be the theme and talking point of these people in reference to FoxNews. On their face, I agree with their comments: FoxNews is slanted to the right and, as a journalistic organization, should absolutely not be and should be ashamed of itself. But the utter gal and disingenuousness of these people to complain about FoxNews, when they have the overwelming majority of the national media (which is left-slanted) in their back pocket is purely slimey and, frankly, insulting to my intelligence. It's indicative of the "we want it all, we want everything" mentality of Obama & The Dems, as noted in this space previously: They completely control the federal government at the moment, and they have almost all of the national media onboard with them, but that's not enough for them. Sorry, but that kind of thinking smacks of an authoritarian-leaning outlook which I'm very much concerned about and which I very much fear from this current regime. But that aside, I must comment: When I was a young journalism student at the oldest and greatest journalism school in the country -- The University of Missouri-Columbia -- I was very much instilled with the spirit and belief that it was the job of the press and media (as the so-called "Fourth Estate") to incessantly keep an eye on the powers-that-be, to keep a close eye on the government officials who wield so much power over us, regardless of their party affiliation. Where has American journalism gone so utterly wrong?! At least on the national level, it's all slanted one way or the other, including FOXNEWS. That's not journalism, it's pure advocacy. And bottom line: What I see on a daily basis from these national news organizations makes me sick. OK, I'm done ranting & raving for one night, and I leave you in peace. ;)
