Whispers of "journalistic negligence" are floating about

[Elias Graves]

During the 08 and 12 campaigns, and indeed throughout this presidency, the old skool media have dutifully carried Obama's load and have done all they can to help him along. Prior to the 08 campaign, many members of the opposition questioned everything about the man but the media made no attempt to vet him.
The reporters parroted his his campaign promises from healthcare to Gitmo to whatever else he could use to call his opposition evil. That same opposition was, of course, being demonized for predicting all that is presently unfolding before us. It took a hit to Americans' wallets before they realized they'd been lied to but realize it they did.
Even as recently as the shutdown and still ongoing are the Dem's fingerpointing and name calling.
But the public has begun to see what's up and the members of the media, ever the opportunists, are beginning to actively, if unwillingly, report on the healthcare mess and along with it some other events as well.
The question I have is how will the media tell us why they didn't see all this coming?
Obviously, the answer is that they did know and participated in the deception but they'll never admit to that. The only other option that really leaves them is incompetence. I doubt they offer that one up either.
So they'll have to cook something up. What will it be?


This is may be the first article I've seen on the topic of asking members of the media why they failed to discover any of these very obvious things.

Yeah, they didn't touch the most important dialogue regarding the healthcare meme. Maybe some things that keep the left-right paradigm afloat but the really damaging things didn't and won't get placed into relevant context. A simple glance at who sponsors the "news" confirms this.

They are yapping about not being able to log on and whatnot and just skip by the part where we stop and askl why we are tearing up our Constitution and Bill of Rights to replace it with and sign a terms of service agreement with a bunch of corporations who basically wrote the law. Nope...no dialogue on this corporate repatriation.

And there are other important aspects. Like the fact that it's the very infrastructure being put into social acceptance and infrastructure for a complete merge of Big Pharma, Agribusiness/Biotech and a few other industries with government in a manner in which they position themselves to further repatriate processes. Again...growth and survival have and always will contradict one another when representation of, by and for two completely different definitions of " The People" are spoken in the halls of congress.

Could keep going. Why though? Is like a waste of keystrokes any more with this zodiac mind fudge going on with the masses as if this is some free market phenomenon or something. It is not. Not at all. There's a place for everything and everything...seemingly...is being put into place.

Before it's over the masses will be paying royalties to these companies to justify their very being. The terms of service that define corporate repatriation mean that natural citizens will serve as nothing more than a "device" in the new world of we, the corporate people. Just a blip on a flash drive. The terms of service are broad, it seems. They demand permission for many, many, many things. Most of which pee all over that god damned piece of paper that once served the living, breathing folks.

I mean, cripes. We have agri-business and biotech giants spending millions so that the people can't and won't ever know what the heck they are doing to their health and then these same corporations are in business with the very companies making the pills (treatments, mind you...don't want to mess up a good thing. Right?) to counter the effects of the food so they can keep shoving these science concoctions down their throats. And then you have the folks in the insurance business in the mix too. All of these corporations who are writing up the rules of these laws (or terms of service, now) are what these people in the mainstream media should be reporting. But they aren't and they won't. Ever. And the ones who do actually report on it are called communists because they pee all over everyone's illusion of this free market that they have been fooled into believing exists and functions among them.

It's a hoot alright. Nobody seems to notice and nobody seems to care. Fuggin nutz....

Article should be titled, "How the media overlooked Obama's big lie on ACA"

The question I have is how will the media tell us why they didn't see all this coming?

Same way they told us they didn't see the Iraq debacle coming. They just pretend it didn't happen.

Whispers?

There is not that much negligence, they are performing according to their abilities.
