The Great Pretenders

The President of the Media Research Center, Brent Bozell, said a couple of days ago, “The networks’ silence on ClimateGate is deafening. Scandal, cover-ups and conspiracy are the bread and butter of the media. Yet they have selectively and deliberately decided not to report this bombshell – or any of the incriminating details surrounding the scandal – because it goes against their left-wing agenda.

“To pretend this story simply doesn’t exist is damning to journalism. The so-called ‘news’ media are protecting scientists because it exposes their underbelly. That’s not journalism. That’s a cover-up. And we will continue to call them out for ignoring these allegations and the mounting, inconvenient evidence against them.”

Now come on, folks, this is merely more proof of the left wing, ideological, Democrat-leaning, liberal agenda of the mainstream media. This is a non-story to them?!? Also, the White House, United Nations, and Congress are refusing to investigate the misrepresented, misstated, and eliminated data that does not support the Global Warming theory and in fact describes the decrease in temperature over the past decade!

There are two principles in play here: one of them is being mistaken -- "mis" followed by "taken." Apparently the Liberals have been taken, duped, and led to err on the part of silly science purporting a theory that the world's temperature is rising and they want to spent a boatload of our money to 'fix' it.

The other principle is being wrong. The wrong here is deliberately choosing a side and steering all stories to that side. The mainstream media are mistaken about the science and are wrong for not presenting both sides. If journalists would stick to journalism we would have honesty in the press. Up until Fox news came to be there was an unwritten rule that the press had a liberal slant. Spiro T. Agnew had a hate-hate relationship with the press and shared on it whenever he got a chance. Ahhh, those were the days!!

But Fox, now that is a name that reaps contempt from every liberal from every persuasion of the left. Isn't it funny, though, how Fox is only viewed by 2 to 4 million people? ABC and NBC each have about 7 million viewers of their news programs, and CBS has about 5 million, according to the "TV by the numbers" website. And the Democrats want to implement the "Fairness Doctrine"???!?!? Is that hilarious or what?!?

The Great Pretenders, ABC, CBS, and NBC.... fair and balanced.
