Alot of posts seem to be asking how some in the media can be so inconsistent compared to Bush years.

We have elected leaders, many people assume that means what they do will be known to the American people.

So if the congress passed a tax cut for 95% of the American people, you would think the American people would know about it.

Why don't they? because some in the media want to take power away from government by deceiving the people and replacing what is happening with their own lies about what is happening. When Bush was in office, they could lie with him, now that Bush is gone, they have to lie against government.

And there is a funny dynamic to it, as fewer and fewer people that see this happening watch some media, the media get responses from more and more that actually believe what they said. What they created is all that is left watching them, so they have to broadcast to that segment, and they spiral further and further into that crowd.

And it is not just some in the media, it is also some on the Internet. Many post are forwarding bad information or lies, even on this web site many posts are simply not true.

This creates a credibility issue. Who do you believe, how do you know what is correct and what is not. The best way is to think feel and remember. Use your experiences and things you can verify as true, either by having some skill in knowing when someone is lying, or by following the trend of how one side seems to have been lying for a long time. And by looking at if the information makes any sense. Does the information hold its own credibility.



Some people say President Obama is not for a public option, when I think on it, I think he is for a public option, I would also agree he has not drawn a line on that issue in public, that makes sense so as to allow some to save face. It is what he wants from what he has said, although some could argue if he would fight for it, and how hard. But also it might be the methods are not being seen in a known corrupting source like some in the media.

Some say congress does not have the votes. Who are the 51 in the Senate, and the 217 people in the congress not supporting the public option. And why are they not supporting it.

And some say Democrats are not tough, I think the pirate incident in Somali showed that the Democrats are tough. Do people remember that? The USA took care of that, when the Republicans were making the same political arguments on TV then.

reason being "because the right is in power". So now most of the media talking heads are on the right - "because we need to know what the opposition thinks".

It is so transparent, how the media NEEDS the greedy, corporate right to be in power.
