- So the media is balanced in its journalism. If so, then:
-
- * Why is it that the media let us hear how Anita Hill said she was
- not here to profit off the sexual harassment issue, but they aren't
- here to investigate how she's making $10,000 appearances around the
- country now, talking about it? The media was fast to jump on Jim
- Bakker for his lies and cover-ups, yet Anita Hill is doing this openly
- and blatantly, and they aren't saying a thing.
- * Why is it that the thousands of journalists in the media, were not
- able to notice how the armies of androgynous bra-burners (aka
- feminists), church-vandalizers (aka ACT-UP), anti-Semites (aka Jesse
- Jackson clones), human-haters (aka Earth First! activists), etc., went
- into hiding during this election season? Why is it that the media lay
- dumb and ignorant as these people all started coming out, right and
- left, to exact their dues from Clinton, after November 3? It took
- until late December for the media to even hint at it, and that was
- only because the bra-burners were making too loud a stink regarding
- Clinton's cabinet choices, for the media to ignore. Of course we all
- know why: the media is, with its huge army of investigative
- journalists, not capable of discovering things that one man alone,
- Rush Limbaugh, was able to predict right after the Democratic National
- Convention.
- * Why is it that the media attacked Jesse Helms for trying to remove
- NEA funding for a picture of the Crucifix in a bottle of piss, yet if
- a similar insult had been laid on the Star of David and it was funded
- by the NEA, there would be a flood of charges concerning
- anti-Semitism?
- * Why is it that the media attacks anyone who insults a Jewish rabbi,
- but totally shrouds over Sinead O'Connor's tearing up of a picture of
- the Pope? The media's reaction was so opposite to the People's - the
- media ignored it and the People boo'ed her out of a concert and burned
- her CD's in a ditch in NYC.
- * Why is it that the media accuses Pat Buchanan of being a racist and
- a Nazi, when Pat Robertson has said absolutely nothing racist or
- Naziist and there is no evidence that could ever support that claim,
- just rumors? Why is it that, in the same breath, the media ignores
- comments by folks like Andrew Hackard, who says General Colin Powell
- only succeeded because he left "99% of his black self" behind, and the
- media tries to help us forget Jesse Jackson's "Welcome to Hymietown"
- comments to the Jews in Brooklyn?
- * Why is it that the media gives us occasional propaganda about how
- Pat Robertson is a Nazi, but yet they never take such investigative
- time out to let us see how Mr. Robertson is running literacy projects
- in Georgia that help people with no regards to their race?
- * Why is it that the media went absolutely nuts about stories on
- Clarence Thomas when the sexual harassment issue came up, but come Bob
- Packwood, the news is just a trickle?
- * And of course, when was the last time you heard the words "Title 10
- Regulations" in the media? I bet you probably heard it by what Planned
- Parenthood calls it: The "Gag Rule." That's because the media always
- terms things or people the way liberals want it termed, not by its
- real name or how they term themselves. In general.
- * And then when the Gag Rule was put on abstinence education in New
- York City's schools by Chancellor Joe Fernandez, where was the media?
- Where is their investigative journalism about this effort by liberals,
- feminists (especially feminists!) and AIDS activists, to Gag Rule
- abstinence education? Out to lunch, as usual.
- * Where was the media when the Lansing, Michigan State Board of
- Education tossed out abstinence education and instead decided to teach
- birth control and sexual diseases for kindergarten kids, with a side
- comment "please wait for marriage" just to throw in a little
- diversity? Where was the media when Board member Annetta Miller called
- abstinence education "naive" and said "it's not realistic in today's
- age and it was not realistic 100 years ago"? Well, the Sacramento
- Union was there, but that's because they're a conservative newspaper.
- (Sacramento Union, page A5, 12/17/92.) If abortion counseling had been
- treated this way, they'd all be swarming all over the place.
- * Why is it that there was such a huge media stink about sending
- troops to Vietnam to stop a civil war (which somehow found our
- opposition fueled by Russian-made hardware), yet the media is so
- positive about our troops going to deal with a civil war in Somalia?
- * Why is it that the media went crazy about President Bush's
- pardoning of Caspar Weinberger and co., over the Iran-Contra scandal?
- Where the hell were they when Jimmy Carter pardoned all those
- draft-dodgers? Will we see a comparison between the two, or will we
- only see the inconsistent and utterly hypocritical evaluation of
- America's reviled, GreatDastardlyRepublicanVillain that the media has
- been passing off as journalism?
-
-
- The answer to all these why's is:
- The media destroys whole forests every year to uncover and make up
- big stories of corruption and dangerous thoughts coming from the
- Conservative side of America. They inject their own opinions and
- predictions into news articles, and pass that off as factual
- journalism. They waste tons of trees daily on their editorial pages,
- with opinions slamming conservatism, making up scandals and trying to
- find a conservative Republican to convict of something, ruining a
- quarter of their reputations with facts and the remaining 3/4's with
- lies. The media tears down the condition of America so bad that you'd
- be hard-pressed to understand what could possibly be drawing more
- immigrants to live in the United States, than any other nation in the
- world. (We're even getting immigrants from nations that the media say
- are better off than we are!) Then the media reports on how the sun is
- rising over our economy, the very day AFTER Clinton wins the election.
- The media mowed down half a forest on Jim Bakker's sex scandal, yet
- with Bill Clinton, they said it was not cool to press the issue of
- adultery. The media attacked Dan Quayle for allegedly avoiding service
- in Vietnam, even though he DID at least join the National Guard, and
- THEN in 1992, they pushed Bill Clinton's draft-dodging aside and said
- it "wasn't an issue." And watch what they do to President Bush's
- pardoning of the people involved in Iran-Contra, versus Carter's
- pardoning of all those draft-dodgers.
- And that's long before Candice Bergen swaggers out of the powder
- room with her weekly copy of the "Fuck Fathers! The Daily Radical
- Feminist News" - er, um, I mean, her Murphy Brown script - in her
- hands.
-
- And then when someone who supports their causes, fouls up or does
- something outrageous, the media is too busy, too ignorant, or too bent
- upon covering it up, to report it. It takes something BIG, like,
- perhaps, Oregon Senator Bob Packwood, where the media has no choice
- BUT to cover it because the whaleshit has hit the turbofan and is now
- smelling up all of Oregon. But now, will we see Packwood get the same
- treatment as Clarence Thomas did?
- Don't bet on it. The media will protect him, just like they protect
- Jesse Jackson, Ted Kennedy, check-bouncers like Barbara Boxer and
- anti-disclosure fiends like Barbara Boxer and Tom Foley, the liar
- Anita Hill, etc., etc.
-
- In other words, as you liberals have told us time and again, the
- media isn't biased.
