In NJ, a dozen laid off reporters from the leading daily are now working for government agencies in Trenton!<BR/><BR/>Reporters get so close to the sources, agencies, etc., on whom they report that they become inside players. <BR/><BR/>They believe they are helping the public understand the "reality" of various government initiatives or activities of the business community, but they are part of the problem, not the watchdogs that help avoid or solve it.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-82716933762786115452009-02-25T21:59:00.000-08:002009-02-25T21:59:00.000-08:00Reading your blog and its comments with much inter...Reading your blog and its comments with much interest I cannot help but to realise the contempt with which Congress is held. I can fully understand this because it seems to be peopled with folks not of this world when it comes to real issues and, particularly, science and financial based topics. <BR/>In my reading I came across this wonderful poem which would put Congress in a nutshell although I sincerely hope that its concluding verse is not forthcoming:<BR/><BR/>"These hardy knaves and stupid fools,<BR/>Some apish and pragmatic mules,<BR/>Some servile acquiescing tools,<BR/>These, these compose the Congress.<BR/><BR/>Then Jove resolved to send a curse,<BR/>And all the woes of life rehearse,<BR/>Not plague, not famine, but much worse,<BR/>He cursed us with a Cogress.<BR/><BR/>Then peace forsook this hopeless shore,<BR/>Then cannon blazed with horrid roar,<BR/>We hear of blood, death, wounds and gore, <BR/>The offspring of the Congress".*<BR/><BR/>Is this a GOP dirge from a recent quill? No at all. It was penned by a Crown Loyalist during the first American Civil War, (or American Revolutionary War - 1775-83). <BR/>It seems to sit very comfortably, today.<BR/>*(Ref: 'Empire - How Britain made the Modern World' by Niall Ferguson, Penguin, 2004)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-51129833157687061202009-02-25T20:16:00.000-08:002009-02-25T20:16:00.000-08:00Alan,I have been perplexed for years about the med...Alan,<BR/>I have been perplexed for years about the media.<BR/><BR/>Suffice it to say that I have little faith that they will shine the light on the truth, if that means exposing weaknesses of this ruling class.<BR/><BR/>You however, have an insight on those on the inside of these institutions.<BR/><BR/>How can so many, with so much access to the actual nitty gritty facts, live with what they put out; and how they present the story?<BR/><BR/>They (collectively) know how badly the stories are manipulated to seem to be one way and not another.<BR/><BR/>It was reported recently that 6 major reporters actually quit in order to join the Obama team, yet we know many more are working on his behalf. Those I understand. Those I am wondering about are those with principles and standards of objectivity?<BR/><BR/>Are they bankrupt or under duress of job security and zealot editors? Can they not see what is becoming of liberty, and individual rights?<BR/><BR/>I know you can not speak for them, but are some secretly living with ulcerous guilt for what the business has become and their failure to inform us accurately?libertyforusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08584974436761909593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-53165280485751522712009-02-25T16:40:00.000-08:002009-02-25T16:40:00.000-08:00The real credit goes to a clever and satiric websi...The real credit goes to a clever and satiric website:<BR/><BR/>http://www.thepeoplescube.com/<BR/><BR/>That where I often find wonderful art to share on my site.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-36749807950560979212009-02-25T15:50:00.000-08:002009-02-25T15:50:00.000-08:00Great picture.
