Day in, day out . . . Gloom and doom, murders, rapes, robberies, mayhem, wars, sex, lies and videotape, ad infinitum!
So I researched past stories - yep, the same old stuff. Even on the day of the tea parties we had the same old stuff. On the local (phoenix is local for the entire state of Arizona) TV news today was what do you think? A protest! Thats what!
What protest?
ILLEGAL ALIENS WANT IMMIGRATION REFORM! That protest. why? WHY? WHY?
The leadoff words were "Dozens protest for immigration reform" and thats as far as I got before I shut off the TV lest I shoot it . . .
Out of all the crap going on in the world today and everyday, our news folks in Phoenix are worried about "dozens" of folks protesting for immigration reform.
Yet, when almost a million people protested nation wide against our runaway government spending and such, what happened? Nary a word from our local TV folks, and that brings me to ask the very pertinent question;
ARE THEY DRUNK, ON DRUGS, OR JUST PLAIN STUPID?

I vote "all of the above", and in the pocket of the current resident of the White House. The biggest story of the century is happening right under their noses in the form of a Republic being dismantled and they can't report objectively less they provoke the ire of the DHS, FBI and the "one". Now, the fact that they cannot write about it is, in itself, a big story to write about.
I would have to say that last part Rowe.
Morning GA!
I think all of the above would best define our MSM. They cover the things that shouldn't be given the time of day, then don't cover the things that are relevant to all of us as Americans. No wonder we are in the state we're in with a president and cabinet that think on the job training is what suits our country. Needless to say, I'm completely disillusioned.
