In recent days we have been inundated with a parade of liberal gaffs and scandals that elicit a deep sense of disgust in the pit of my stomach.
Before you jump to any conclusions, I’m just as repulsed when a scandal happens among conservatives.
But perhaps an even deeper sense of antipathy has to be addressed when I watch the mainstream media dog pile floundering conservatives, yet they unapologetically look the other way when liberal leaders one after another miserably fail.
I’m not crying about life being unfair, that’s a given.
It’s about being a morally and ethically responsible journalist.
You would think they would be concerned about losing all credibility as valid and unbiased. Not!
Major media heads that are wringing their hands and scratching their backsides wondering why Fox News has surpassed them to the extent that more viewers are taking in Fox’s coverage than all of them combined.
Could it possibly be ... no, surely not ... or perhaps it really is the reason – they are actually reporting the news instead of slobbering all over Obama, Letterman and Nancy Pelosi among a few.
Speaking of David Letterman; how ironic was his recent debacle on the “Late Show.” Having in the past viciously attacked Sarah Palin and maliciously joked about her teenage daughter being raped by a pro baseball player at Yankee Stadium — where does this lying hypocrite get off!
The uproar over Don Imus’ comment calling Rutgers women’s basketball team a less than desirable name, which was uncalled for by the way, pales in comparison to loose-lipped Letterman’s repeated attacks on Palin and her family.
Not to mention the countless trumped-up lies, all in the name of meaningless fun of course, told on former President George W. Bush.
Someone please have the courage to pull the plug on the rude and crude fraud Letterman and send him back to the local night club circuit or where ever he came from.
Where’s Al Sharpton at when someone really needs to be fired?
I guess he’s too busy with his income tax fraud case or trying to seduce and extort more big corporations by threatening to march on their businesses and boycotting their services if they don’t provide donations to one of his scandalous political action committees.
Nevertheless, Letterman recently attempted to quell the reaction of his multiple affairs with staffers over the years by using humor and justifying his actions rather than really apologizing.
Do the major media outlets carry the story? Only for a day or two because they have to or they look like the bias idiots they are.
Maybe someday they will figure out that we the public are not as stupid as they take us to be and quit insulting our intelligence.
Wake up execs before your ratings drop below the basement.
Just the like the ACORN scandal, if Fox News didn’t report the matter, they would have been quite content to sweep it under the rug.
Why? Because it doesn’t further their cause, it only hurts them.
But perhaps Obama will help them out with some of the $1.4 million he recently picked up for all of his achievements to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
If there was ever a question that the award is sometimes used as political capital, no longer. So much for viable credibility coming from Norway’s Nobel Peace committee.
According to Alfred Nobel’s will, the Peace Prize should be awarded to the person who, and I quote, “During the preceding year, shall have done the most or the best work for the fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”
Nobel’s will stated that the prize should be awarded by a committee of five people elected by the Norwegian parliament.
The nominations to the committee come in around Feb. 1. He was President Obama precisely two weeks? Go figure.
Czars galore, tax cheats make up almost half of his cabinet, lack of attention to the war in Afghanistan, basically ignoring Iraq and toying with terrorists leaders in Iran and Venezuela with all of his focus on trying to the same thing the Clinton’s tried to do — put another notch in big government’s gun by trying to take over our health care system.
What’s next? Someone pass the Alka-Seltzer please.
