Today Jonathan Strong continued his reports on the media at The Daily Caller<\/a>.  It has become routine for the left media to accuse the right media of being uncivil.  But Sarah Spitz, a producer for National Public Radio, might be an example of a lack of civility of the left side.  Ms. Spita wrote that if she were in the presence of Rush Limbaugh having a heart attack, she would “Laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out” as he writhed in agony.  I’m not sure what is driving that kind of hatred, but it seems inappropriate on the part of a journalist.  <\/p>\n

Mr. Strong also points out how the Tea Party members were portrayed when the Tea Parties began.  They were called Nazis, brownshirts, religious nuts, racists, homophobes, anti-feminists, anti-abortion lunatics, anti-immigration whackos, pathological government haters, gun nuts, and anti-tax nuts.  When they opposed healthcare, the mainstream media was not willing to actually discuss issues–it was more fun demonizing the opponents of healthcare.  Now that healthcare has passed and we are finding out that we were seriously lied to by the President and the Democrats in Congress, there is not a lot of reporting on healthcare by the mainstream media.   When will it occur to them that they also will be affected by the new healthcare laws?<\/p>\n

Mr. Strong also details the attacks on Fox News by other news organizations.  Fox News is not perfect, but there is more balance of opinion on Fox news shows than anywhere else in the media.  Please follow the above link to read the entire article, it is an eye-opener!<\/p>\n

A democracy needs well-informed voters to survive.  If we are to turn over a democratic form of government to our children and grandchildren, we had better be aware of what news we can trust and what news we can’t trust.  This is a critical time for our country, and most of the media is selling us down the river.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
