Mainstream media multi-million-dollar reporters like Brian Williams fail to report to the American people that the the scary monster called SEQUESTER is the great idea of their beloved President Barack Obama.
I can't believe that almost 40 years ago when I came to America as a "documented immigrant" the entire media establishment including the three TV networks - abc, cbs & nbc - was spending all its time to get rid of a President who was a little overzealous to peak into his opponents' election office or something of that sort called H2O-Gate. Nobody got killed and Nixon did not steal any money from the federal treasury but it was a big deal, a big deal for news industry operatives who thought they are supreme.
An independent, non-partisan PRESS is vital for the survival of a free society and from my very first day in America - October1st 1973 -I felt that an overzealous press which is accountable to nobody could be a greather threat in future than anything else. So I have been keeping a close eye on the news industry and throughout these years I have been witnessing, as I felt on that very first day, that this idustry is an integral part of the Democratic Party.
Unlike most average Americans who dismiss this reality, I come from a different background and I have been an experienced news consumer since 1953 which makes it easy for me to sort out truth from propaganda.
America's news industry is perhaps our most corrupt public institution. Their failure to deliver "clean news" and truth is responsible for most of the problems the country face today. An ill-informed populace cannot make the right decisions that affect their lives, like voting and taxation. In 1871 in a speech at Hartford, Mark Twain remided America about the dangers of a partisan press. He was right.
