Saving Journalism from the Journalists

Sharyl Attkisson is a rare truth-teller in a profession full of lackeys and liars.

It’s been 11 years since investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson first exposed that the Barack Obama administration was illegally spying on her. Although she persistently pursued the case in court, no senior Obama administration officials have ever been held accountable. The incident remains remarkable not only because it exposed yet another example of illegal, unconstitutional, and unethical behavior by the Obama administration (remember when Attorney General Eric Holder was caught arming international drug cartels in Operation Fast and Furious for reasons only he could justify?), but also because the silence from the American press was deafening.

There was some petty outrage, to be sure, but if America’s leading news outlets had really wanted to defend free speech against government tyranny, they would have forcefully condemned Obama for presiding over an administration at war with the First and Fourth Amendments. They would continue to this day to run stories reminding Americans that no one of significance from the Obama administration has been punished. And they would never cease to point out that neither Obama nor his lieutenants have ever apologized for their impeachable transgressions or open betrayals of their constitutional oaths. Judging by their lackluster response, it appears that most corporate news reporters have tacitly approved of the Obama administration’s spying operations against the press — at least as long as the “right kind” of reporters were the ones being targeted.

Much to the dismay of the Obama regime and its supporters in the Praetorian press, Sharyl Attkisson has always been an “old school” reporter, that is, she follows important news stories wherever they take her and regardless of how her investigations affect her.

How many Democrats even know about the despicable things the Obama regime did to Sharyl Attkisson and her family?

There is no journalism, only propaganda.

Cable subscription fees and advertising finance some of it. Most of it is financed by corporations and individuals who use the Propaganda Media for illegal in-kind political contributions.

I personally don’t think they are “The Press”. I think they are a political operation and those rules should apply to them. The FEC should be tough on them and their political contributions in the form of airtime charges should not be allowed as legitimate deductions on their tax returns.

No cable or satellite for us for over 30 years.

I dropped that a long time ago.

I was tired of paying for propaganda.
