The Press and Paula Deen - Soapbox 07/01/13
I
think that if anything exemplifies the overt prejudice and
determination of the American media to report only the news that suits
their social and political interests and concept of what does and does
not fit their agenda, it’s the totally overblown coverage of something
Paula Deen said 20 years ago, and some party she planned that she wanted
to resemble a plantation scene featuring black male waiters in period
dress.
If Hollywood plans a movie featuring black waiters in a
plantation scene or portray women as prostitutes or cast minorities in
caricature roles does the media get upset and start calling the movie
moguls racists?
Is there any grown person who could truthfully
declare under oath that they have never uttered something that someone
might find personally offensive?
“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
Do
the twenty-year-old words of a lady with a television cooking show
trump the lie an Attorney General told Congress, or officials at the IRS
usurping the rights of the American public and pleading the fifth
amendment when confronted about it or the hiding of the facts
surrounding the murder of four Americans at a Consulate in Libya or the
incredibly shabby image of a president taking a one hundred million
dollar vacation in this economy while closing down tours of the White
House or the NSA invasion on the privacy of millions of unsuspecting
citizens?
I think not, and yet these and other stories of the
utmost importance were either ignored or given a back seat to the Paula
Deen story which, when taken in context with the high level scandals,
Putin's snubbing of an American president, the potentially explosive
situations in so much of the world the story was certainly not
newsworthy enough to be featured five nights in a row on network news.
Wouldn't
a week-long investigation into the life of Lois Lerner, the things
she's done and the reason she's pleading the fifth be more meaningful to
the American people?
What about what's going on in Israel ? The
media has been strangely quiet on that front lately, is there nothing
worth reporting in that volatile part of the world?
How about the
coming catastrophic tidal wave the effect of Obamacare is going to have
on America , is there nothing worth questioning in the over 30,000
pages of regulations?
How about the fact that due to federal over regulation it's nearly impossible to live in the U.S. without breaking some law?
How
about the Christian pastor who is being held in one of the worst hell
hole prisons in the world in Iran for nothing more than sharing his
faith?
How about a whole way of life that's being destroyed in West Virginia by the president's war on coal?
I think you get the picture.
No wonder the mainstream media has fallen so far in the trust of the American people.
Why
is the Paula Deen story worth so much airtime if not to take attention
off the truly important issue, the life changing things that really
affect the lives of Americans?
The news is not about news
anymore. It's about protecting some people, destroying others and
shoving a socialist agenda down the collective throats of America .
What do you think?
Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem .
God Bless America
