Illegal Coverage of Issues

L. Brent Bozell said today in his syndicated column that “…the networks were nothing less than stenographers to protest, because they don’t see it as their role to question the demonstrators, only to celebrate them. Show me one example—one example in the past thirty years—where anyone in the national news media has accorded the same courtesy to the tens of thousands who annually protest the horror of abortion.”

Damn fine point! I don’t understand why some issues have to be treated as complex when they aren’t, like the concept of “illegal immigrants” somehow having rights under our constitution, when the same people choose to oversimplify other issues for the sake of their own convenience. What a wonderful thing it would be those who report got off their high horses and realized their own biases.

Bozell also said, “…if the media’s job is simply to report without prejudice, then what of the views of the vast majority of Americans, outraged by the sight of illegal aliens demanding ‘rights’ from the government they refuse to obey?”

The answer is those views don’t count, because some people have this whole concept of “entitlement” that is going to be this country’s downfall. I don’t even have the patience to expound much on my opinions on this at the moment, but I had to type something because I’m sick to death of hearing the issues hashed over and over while no one does a damn thing about it.

What we need is less government, more decency and respect (from everyone toward everyone), and the freedom to live our own life without being forced to carry others on our backs.
