Yesterday I talked of Obama the chosen one and the nausea I experience at the glee of my lefty friends at his ascendance. Today I actually vomited a bit in my mouth at the disgusting coverage by the drive by media. Repeated stories of how the world has changed and the 'new hope' has arrived has sicken me. It has started me to wondering how the media has gotten to it's current position as cheerleader of the left. I've got a couple ideas but you guys feel free to chime in.
1) People with a left leaning stance, who believe we need change and revolution, are drawn to the journalism field. If you think about it, it makes some sense. The ability to expose the innards of the evil capitalist USA, the platform to regurgitate the propaganda you've been fed, and the opportunity to demonstrate your elitist, holier-than-thou as an example to the unenlightened masses must be a powerful draw.
2) The leftist position of the media is a result of political correctness run amok. The last thing a program that desires to be popular would do is offend people. Unfortunately, sometimes the truth is offensive. Modern US society is dominated by the feminine concept of conflict avoidance; It is better to tell a pretty lie than the harsh truth. Political correctness is a symptom of peoples cowardice in the face of potential conflict. To this effect a hierachy is set up based on who should and should not be offended in the rare case offense is necessary. Topping this list of taboos are the leftist love children: blacks, women, hispanics, gays, etc. at the bottom are whites, males, and christians. The list is set up based on fear and cowardice with an undercurrent of racism. It is understood that blacks. hispanics, women, etc must not be offended for fear of lawsuits, blacklisting, or in some cases outright riots. There is no such repurcussions for speaking out against christians, or males.
