It has become well established that the Corporate Media, as it exists today, no longer focuses on objective “reporting”, but serves solely as a high priced conduit for editorializing a particular point of view or Agenda.  Even the “News” pages are mere fig leaves for proselytizing the mantra that is au courant.

A recent example of this egregious behavior is in the rush by the Progressive Left to politicize the shooting in Aurora, CO as the work of the “Tea Party”.  Disingenuously,   Brian Ross of ABC News “reported” (/sarc/) that the alleged shooter was a “Tea Party” member, and nationally “outed” on live camera a local resident and Tea Party activist.

Except that Brian Ross was wrong.  Very, very wrong.  And if he knew – he didn’t care – he rushed to live camera to breathlessly report what was an acute error.  And hopefully – a very expensive one for ABC News.

There is no “correction“, no “mea culpa” that can help you recover from that.  Once again, the Corporate Media was unmasked as not a “News” agency, but as a Propaganda Outlet.

Want to know why Newsweek was sold for a $1?  Why Microsoft disentangled itself from the failing MSNBC franchise?  Why the head of the flailing CNN stepped down?  Why do many local convenience stores no longer even stock the “newspapers”? (more…)

The frustrating thing from my truthseeker perspective is the seeming unwillingness of the media sorts to ask the obvious question:   Why change attorneys between the arrest/bonding ($1000) hearing and the plea?   What happened?

HatTip arkansasmimi  ORLANDO – Shellie Zimmerman says she’s not guilty of perjury.  Her new attorney, Kelly B. Sims, today filed paperwork, entering that plea on her behalf. That means that she won’t have to show up at the Seminole County criminal building Tuesday for arraignment.

Zimmerman, 25, is accused of lying when she told Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr., while under oath, that she and her husband were broke.

At the time, prosecutors allege they had ready access to $130,000, money donated by supporters of her husband, murder defendant George Zimmerman.

Friday was the first time Sims, a board-certified criminal-trial specialist, was identified as Shellie Zimmerman’s lawyer. The Orlando attorney has been practicing in Florida for more than 20 years and has worked on high-profile cases in the past. (more…)

Product consumption relies on two things…. a producer who makes a product, and a consumer who consumes the product.    In relation to the news as a product the American consumer is static, unchanged, and consistent –  A “Center-Right” majority.  

It is the left-wing product CNN is selling which few consumers actually want.   Unless they change their product nothing will change.    Unfortunately, they are constitutionally incapable of seeing how out of touch, and unwanted, their product is.  They are PROGS!

The evidence of this disconnect is right there in the words of the quitting Jim Walton. 

He believes the product is “centrist”.   His product contains the ideology of: Christiane Amanpour, Brooke Baldwin, Roland Martin, Robin Meade, Soledad O’Brien, Don Lemon, Fareed Zakaria, Piers Morgan, Anderson Cooper and others….  Yet, Jim Walton BELIEVES the product is “centrist”…  typical prog disconnect.

NEW YORK — CNN chief Jim Walton said Friday he is quitting, saying the company needs new leadership at a time its flagship U.S. network is suffering through some of its poorest ratings ever.

Walton built the company into a profitable international news organization in his 10 years as president of CNN Worldwide, and said it is on track for record profits this year. But the U.S. network is the most visible part of the business and is now entrenched in third place behind rivals Fox News Channel and MSNBC in prime time. (more…)

If you give birth to a child, give him food at times, or not; do the minimum required to get by without having yourself exposed to the Department Of Children and Family Services; and essentially, as he grows, do nothing with that child except to dispatch him to a place where you are not bothered by that child….. This is the outcome.

Wash.Rinse.Repeat.

There are hundreds of thousands, perhaps MILLIONS of these children now in various stages of youth and young adulthood.   Here is a summary of their recent 3 month activity:

Walking – Punched out dead  —–      Shot Walking   —–   Delivering Pizza Stabbed 50 x

Shot Jogging while white   —-    Shot Delivering Pizza    —   Beaten Swimming while white

Delivering Chicken Wings   —–   Knock out Game       ——-   Walking While White

Walking White  Knock out ——-  Stabbed while shopping — 76 YOA HomeInvasion/Rape

They show up on page 5 or 6 of the newspaper during their capture for playing the “Knock Out Game”, or shooting people for “Thrill Kills”, or if people accidentally talk to them they jump out of the car and shoot.    They rape little girls during their adolescence, smash bricks in the faces of others as teens, enjoy lighting people on fire while they are alive, and perhaps order a pizza or chinese food to shoot the delivery man for a U-Tube video.  Then you have the random “cap-a-joggers-ass” for jogging while white, or smash faces with bricks for more giggles.   They develop alternate monikers like No-Limit-Nigga, and if you exit your vehicle during your drive time amid their presence you are requesting a beating.

If you describe the grown up version of the pre-schooler in the above video honestly you are labeled a racist.   But if put your head down and ignore you risk becoming a victim.  A tenuous choice. (more…)

Constitutionally hypocritical gay-progs plan to disrupt Chick-fil-A restaurants by taking over the restaurants and kissing, making out, and slobbering all over each other to punish the business and disgust the patrons while teaching them some kind of lesson in forced tolerance….. or, something.

I.Hate.Progs.   All of them.   Constitutionally incapable of seeing how insufferably stupid it is to demand people respect their views, while simultaneously refusing to accept anyone who does not agree with their personal lifestyle. 

I hope all the non-prog gay people can fire back a little at the way this is being carried out.   If you stay silent you are no better than the “moderate” muslims watching the beheading.  Hopefully Rahm Emanuel (Chicago Mayor) and Thomas Menino (Boston Mayor) double down on the illegal banning of private enterprise based on political ideology.   The folks at Chick-fil-A can become quite rich through the wrath of litigation.   And I hope they do. 

(CBS News) — Gay rights group Equality Illinois is asking gay and lesbian couples to go to their local Chick-Fil-A restaurant next Friday for a “kiss-in” campaign, which the group is promoting along with other gay rights organizations nationwide, reports CBS affiliate WBBM in Chicago. (more…)

The entire media complex has breathlessly reported on every concern/feeling/untruth and self-serving drama the family members of Trayvon Martin have sought to communicate.

However, there has been little understanding or sympathy for the plight of the family of George Zimmerman – who have had their world turned upside down, through no fault of their own.  They have been hunted and threatened, for no other reason than blood lust and an irrational desire for retribution (cash), aided and abetted by the Scheme Team and their enablers at the local, state and federal levels  in their quest for “social justice”.

The parents of George Zimmerman, Robert and Gladys Zimmerman, have published their own personal website, to speak out about the Zimmerman case and the impact it has had on family members – unfiltered by the corporate media.

There is also an opportunity to communicate directly with the family, and as well,  a link to provide donations directly to the Zimmerman family, unrestricted or managed by the courts or by Mark O’Mara.  All contributions will go directly to the Zimmermans, and will be used to assist them in their own security concerns as well as their extensive out-of-pockets expenses which have arisen directly as a result of the racial grievance mongering and outright lies by Sybrina Fulton, Tracy Martin, Benjamin Crump, Natalie Jackson, Spike Lee, Roseanne Barr  and the whole host of hate-filled, irrational, “social justice” retributionists.

“Within a few days, Rosanne Barr retransmitted our correct names, address, and phone number. I knew then that we would need to relocate. Almost immediately, threatening phone calls and letters were received. However, One in particular was alarming because it threatened to kill anyone with George’s DNA – it was not mailed, but was left at our front door. These threats were in addition to the constant media calls and visits. It was time to go.

Literally, as I was helping Cristina into the car to leave, media representatives and others were not ringing our bell, but beating on our front door.

We took a couple changes of clothes for each of us, medicines, and a few personal belongings and fled. However, when the media learned our new location, we were no longer safe there. At that point, we went from one location to another. It has been an extremely difficult existence. It’s been a challenge getting hotel rooms when we can not provide our correct names, use credit cards, or produce any valid identification. Today, that is very much what our existence is.”

Five years ago (2007) when John Stossel worked for ABC 20/20 he produced this news story about the TRUTH of gun control and how the anti-gun alliances are intentionally deceptive. The statistics do not lie.

On Friday’s 20/20, ABC anchor John Stossel discussed the self-defensive benefits of gun ownership, debunking the myth that “gun control reduces crime.” The segment aired during 20/20’s recurring series, “Myths, Lies & Downright Stupidity,” based on Stossel’s book of the same title. Citing the recent Federal Appeals Court for DC ruling overturning Washington, D.C.’s ban on gun ownership, Stossel talked to the pro-gun plaintiff in the case, Tom Palmer, and pointed out that the murder rate in D.C. increased after the city’s gun ban: “Since Washington’s gun law passed, the murder rate actually increased, even while America’s murder rate dropped. It’s because guns can also save lives, says Palmer, as one saved his years ago in California.”

The “knock out” game.  Thrill Killings.  Flash Mobs.   Thug Idolitry.  Gang Culture.  Drug use.  Pre-teen tattoos….  what is to be expected?

Baby Tray

MISSISSIPPI – Disturbing video from a Mississippi day care center shows a 9-year-old boy  beating several much younger children, including an 11-month-old, whom he  punches and bites.

The frightening footage, taken at the Kiddie City Child Care Center in  Vicksburg, shows the bully attacking the baby and then patting the boy on the  back as it cries and adults come in to check on them. Throughout the video, the  child can be seen waiting until day care workers aren’t looking to launch  another attack. (more…)

Anyone who has studied the history of totalitarian marxist government will tell you one of the first goals of a corrupt manipulative central government is to control the media.  But, few would actually believe it occurs in modern political discourse.   Unfortunately, they would be wrong; not only does it happen, but control is the key element to keeping the freedom reduction agenda hidden from the masses.

One only has to look at Poland for a great example of how a looming government can keep the people believing their concerns are in the minority – until a few brave souls stand up and say “hey, wait a minute, there are more of us than them”….  

(New York Times)  They are sent by e-mail from the Obama headquarters in Chicago to reporters who have interviewed campaign officials under one major condition: the press office has veto power over what statements can be quoted and attributed by name.

Most reporters, desperate to pick the brains of the president’s top strategists, grudgingly agree. After the interviews, they review their notes, check their tape recorders and send in the juiciest sound bites for review.

The verdict from the campaign — an operation that prides itself on staying consistently on script — is often no, Barack Obama does not approve this message.

The push and pull over what is on the record is one of journalism’s perennial battles. But those negotiations typically took place case by case, free from the red pens of press minders. Now, with a millisecond Twitter news cycle and an unforgiving, gaffe-obsessed media culture, politicians and their advisers are routinely demanding that reporters allow them final editing power over any published quotations.
