Skeets, Here is where I disagree:
1. There was illegal activity and some are being punished. But, most of the Wall Street/Fed activity was legal. Unethical? Yes. Something only scumbags would do? Yes. But, illegal, no. And totally present in the MSM.
2. When mandates have no specific numbers and when those that do exist are legally ignored in times of war, financial emergency or in the reign of a Fed Chairman who knows bigger words than the Executive Branch (from Reagan to Obama), mandates become suggestions. Too boring for the MSM. Or the cable channels, for that matter. American attention span is a fleeting concept.
3. Totally correct on all counts. Did we need "dirty" ammunition to beat Iraq?
4. Bush wouldn't allow the media to cover the body count from caskets being returned to Dover. I don't know why they aren't covering it now. Only progressive news cared under Bush, but now nobody cares. I don't get that. Isn't a GI just as dead under Obama?
5. Well covered by the media. Of course, you have Fox Fictional News claiming it is class warfare if you say anything less than praiseworthy about banks. But MSNBC has been chronicling the bank crimes, even if sister station CNBS is in the Fox camp on this one. CNN has also been on the beat. But the American Sheeple are more worried about fictional death panels and the possibility that govt. may get involved in Medicare.
The Internet has been exaggerating stories, which makes it less credible when they report the truth. |
