The Obama Media Politique

Obama Team Continues Effort to Isolate Fox News

Shared via AddThis

The Obama administration appears to be continuing to wage war against FOX news. And for reasons that escape most reasoned people outside of the left wing bubble. Which means only one thing IMO. FOX is getting to them and continuing to score direct hits on this administration's policies and personnel choices and they are feeling the heat.

And of all their media detractors at FOX, Glen Beck is presently the largest thorn in their collective back sides. Which is somewhat funny when you think about it. Glen Beck is not a journalist nor a reporter, nor a member of the "FOX news" division. He is a political commentary specialist and an obvious antagonist to this administration. From his going after and exposing Van Jones and his socialist and communist leanings, to his going after and exposing ACORN, Beck has repeatedly scored successes against this administration with the viewers. And the White House's attempts to use bully politics and subterfuge to accomplish its goals in the first year of this presidency are not escaping Beck or the others.

Of course the Obama administration doesn't see it that way. They see only one thing when they are looking at their stinging rebukes in the media and that is the FOX logo. And when they see and hear the name FOX they literally see red and immediately go on the offensive and attack FOX regardless of the reality or the evidence to the contrary.

Meanwhile, from Obama to Axelrod to Emanuel, none of them seem to see or understand that FOX is a leading news organization for one reason and one reason only, they are fair and balanced when it comes to their news division and their news coverage. But the Obama team fails to either see or separate the two entities of FOX news and FOX's personality commentary.

When Obama and his team of Chicago bullies looks out across the media landscape each day, all they see or hear are the commentary people like Hannity and O'Rielly and Beck of FOX. Never mind that the cable network that they consider "news" (CNN) is consistently in the bottom of the ratings with the American people or that they too have their commentary people.

I literally look for these attacks by the Obama administrations to continue and ultimately left unchecked, one or the other (either CNN or MSNBC) will be given the official nod from this White House as the official news agency recognized by this administration. Shades of the propaganda ministry of the eras of the Weimark Republic and the politbureau if you ask me.

Those like the FOX commentators and those in conservative talk radio really give this president and his people fits and the only way they know to deal with that is to attempt to ostracize and shut out FOX. Which isn't working. But I'll wager? That they absolutely love the likes of Keith Obermann, Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Prime's Worm hole

This is a place for me to muse about the issues that affect our world. My world and my country and my life in particular. I can say what I want to here and those who may stumble across my musings, are welcome to comment,or not. America is under siege. Everything this nation has ever represented, is now being torn asunder and crushed by the onslaught of egalitarian socialism. All morals and social values have been devolved into the belief that systemic racism, is the only underlying cause or reason for any societal ills in America. And that representation, is nothing but a Trojan Horse argument. A means of getting the egalitarian camel's nose into the tent. And now that it has been inserted? There is mayhem and anarchy and burning and looting all across America. And the only questions that remains to be asked and answered? Are these. When is enough enough and when will the American people call full stop and take the law into their own hands, to repel this socialist based attack on the Constitution and our personal freedoms.

Thinking

It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then -- just to loosen up and be a part of the crowd.
Inevitably, though, one thought led to another and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone -- "to relax", I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true.
Thinking became more and more important to me and finally I was thinking all the time.

I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't help myself.

I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau, Muir, Confucius and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"

One day the boss called me in. He said, "Listen, I like you and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job."

"Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."

"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!" "But Honey, surely it's not that serious." "It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver.

"You think as much as college professors and college professors don't make that much money, so if you keep on thinking, we won't have any money!"
She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama.

"I'm going to the library," I snarled
I headed for the library, in the mood for some John Locke. I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors.

They didn't open. The library was closed.

To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.

Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Emerson, a poster caught my eye, "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked.

This is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker.

I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.

I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking. I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.

Today I took the final step...I joined the Democratic Party

If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.

Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
1 January 1970
Dak To, Vietnam

Captain Michael O'Donnell was lost in Cambodia on March 24 1970, while flying a UH1 rescue helicopter, trying to rescue an eight man LRRP team under attack in Cambodia. He was listed as MIA along with the eight he had attempted to rescue after his UH1 Huey was shot down by enemy fire. The official military report listed the eight as shot down 'non survivable' and 'non recoverable.'

Michael O'Donnell was submitted for the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions that day. He was awarded the Distinguished flying cross, the Bronze Star, The Air Medal and The Purple Heart and he was promoted to the rank of Major (posthumously).

In 1978 he was officially listed as KIA by the Department of Defense.

A little about the philosophy of the author

The Borg Conspiracy is one man's purely pedestrian thoughts, independent musings and frequently cheeky commentaries...Mixed with an abundance of patriotism, love of God, and love of country.

My thoughts?

In my opinion........in another generation, all that will remain of our once great republic, may be little more than what is left to weather the passage of time in the form of a few obscure and forgotten monuments to the great American experiment.

If America should fail....let it be written as her epitaph.....died by her own hand. The greatest experiment in freedom ever undertaken, lost in the end to the pursuit of the illusion that egalitarian tolerance was more valuable than individual freedom.

Let us be warned.
Franklin, Payne, Jefferson. They all knew the consequences of the lack of vigilance and they tried to warn us. They gave us a document as our guide post. We were to guard it and revere it and use it to guide and govern our future and our posterity.

No one listened.
