If we rely on the media to tell us the truth, then it has failed us too many times. When I say "us," I'm talking about people in general and not from a political (Republican vs. Democrat) perspective.
To me, it is about telling the truth, unfortunately there are limitations in truth-telling since the media as a whole is a group of businesses.
I believe there was a significant amount of voter fraud in the elections. Such a thing has most likely has existed since the beginning, but no one seems to cover it with due diligence. Therefore, the media has failed again.
Of course the Left will agree with what I say more than the Right, but just consider that I am about telling the truth and just being morally responsible. There is no money-making capitalist motive behind me spending my precious time posting here.
I'll start off in favor with the Right with the Dan Rather incedent. Dan Rather made a report against Bush quoting forged documents. Of course this is unacceptable. It was corrected. It was debunked. Rather apologized.
Now on to events that I consider even more important:
Just as the Dan Rather incedent shows that you can't always believe what the media says, also important-- maybe more important-- is that you can't rely on the media simply to cover the most important issues or events, nor uncover the truth behind certain events.
Some of the biggest issues that the "mainstream media" has not covered include:
1. The Bush admin is an extreme right wing group of neo-cons who are driven by the ideology outlined in the Plan For the New American Century.
2. The main reason, if not the sole true reason, that we are in Iraq is because of our interest in OIL.
3. The fall of Baghdad where the statue fell was a staged event, just as much as Bush's carrier landing and "Mission Accomplished" message was.
No one has the balls to uncover propoganda and deception at it's finest. I don't care that I'm an American; when something is wrong, I say it's wrong. I don't care if we, the Germans, French, or British are behind it. When it's wrong, it's wrong.
These are glaring examples of why the media has let us down. The most important way they let us down is that after 9/11, they took a soft "we must stand united" approach and fully supported Bush in his call to war. Now look where we are. They were never hard enough on Bush once it was understood that there were no WMDs. They time and time again allowed him to avoid answering questions. They allow Bush to not admit any mistakes when they and a lot of people know that he has made very big mistakes in his decision making.
Now look where we are today. The Bush administration says it has a "mandate" to do whatever it wants. I don't know about you but that's a bit scary sounding. And so the fighting in Iraq escalates and Bush intends to ban gay marriage across America.
What can I conclude? We can no longer rely on the news to tell us the truth? Our liberties are slowly but surely being taken away? What new provisions will be in an updated Patriot Act? Will they begin to regulate the internet?
It is said that the "mainstream media" is skewed to the left and is "Liberal." I say that that's a bunch of Conservative B.S. Not true when the media is beholden to the almighty dollar.
