NRO Article - The End of Journalism

What was left of journalism has been trampled into the ground as the MSM has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in free advertising, promotion, and even propaganda. They have ignored key issues that have and will cost Americans billions of dollars, their prosperity, and some their lives.

Victor Davis Hanson at National Review Online wrote a great analysis of where "journalism" has taken America. Click Here

"The story that the media chose to ignore was not merely the Obama about-face on public financing, or even the enormous amounts of money that he has raised — some of it under dubious circumstances involving foreign donors, prepaid credit cards, and false names. Instead, they were absolutely quiet about a historic end to liberal support for public financing."

"Imagine the reaction of the New York Times or the Washington Post had John McCain renounced his promise to participate in public campaign financing, proceeded instead to amass $600 million and outraise the publicly financed Barack Obama four-to-one, and begun airing special 30-minute unanswered infomercials during the last week of the campaign."

"Imagine the reaction of CNN or NBC had John McCain’s pastor and spiritual advisor of 20 years been revealed as a white supremacist who damned a multiracial United States, or had he been a close acquaintance until 2005 of an unrepentant terrorist bomber of abortion clinics, or had McCain himself sued to eliminate congressional opponents by challenging the validity of African-American voters who signed petitions, or had both his primary and general election senatorial rivals imploded once their sealed divorce records were mysteriously leaked."

Sadly, even the Clintons found themselves out-corrupted and the msm wildly cheered their messiah on to victory, destroying everyone in his path with zeal.
