For more than half a century, the American press has completely abandoned its independence and neutrality and joined the "democratic" political party which has very little democratic values left. Over the years the democratic party has transformed itself into the European style socialist, wealth-stealing, hate-based political machinery which cannot survive without the support of mass-media to brainwash ill-informed masses.
TRUTH: There is a lot of truth in the old saying "truth is strange, stranger than fiction" and it is quite evident in American public life. Many years ago I was reading in a magazine article about America's fascination with fiction and escapes from realities. It said if somebody says there is an ICBM headed on its way to America, many would not get serious until they are done with watching their favorite FOOT BALL,SOAP, SITUATION COMEDY and other escapes. Today, with face book, twitter and everything else you have on the internet things have only gotten worse.
TRUTH AND THE PRESS: When our founding fathers created this great nation they designed our society in such a way that it would correct its own mistakes by having political power vested in three separate independent organs - the church, the state and a FREE PRESS. The church is an essential component of the society for its moral and ethical guidance, while a limited but adequate government would ensure the safety and well-being of the people. The purpose of a "free press" was to keep an eye on government (not just the Republican party) and tell people what is going on. Unfortunately what goes on in America today is the complete transformation of "the free press"into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party!! Here are just three examples:
(1) An Associated Press report on 10/8/2015 in Times Union (Albany) on Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on her election-based flip-flop. The heading reads "CLINTON OPPOSES TRADE ACCORD. The key word missing here is "NOW." The heading should have read Clinton NOW Opposes Trade Accord because she was promoting it before.
(2) Here is another report from New York Times re-published in the same truth-concealing Times Union (10/16/2015) and it reads SOME PREMIUMS FOR MEDICARE MAY SOAR "At the same time Social Security will not see cost-of-living increase." While the paper reports this as "government" said it does not remind people that Mr. Obama stole 750 billion dollars from Medicare to finance OBAMA CARE and that caused the problem. The press lies, distorts and conceals TRUTH to protect the Democratic Party.
(3) Here is CBS Evening News October 7, 2015 Reporter Juliana Goldman : Ben "Carson said a Muslim should not be President." No, what Presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said was that he will not vote for a Muslim who strictly follows the religion because its beliefs diametrically opposes the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
So if anybody has a problem figuring out that the mainstream press in America is an integral part of the DEMOCRATic PARTY, they should read and listen to news broadcasts. And then you will realize that the press contributes heavily to the democrats through what I call "CASH THROUGH NEWS." What ever happened to President Kennedy's democratic party?
