MEDIA BIAS IN AMERICA







Why Journalism Is Dead in Modern America
"Journalism is dead because in 2016 America, there simply isn't a market for true and hard hitting reporting. Modern day Americans simply don't like to be told when they're wrong and they certainly don't like being told when the political candidate they're supporting is doing wrong."


RECENT HEADLINES SET ME OFF, MUCH AS THEY DID DURING THE TERMS OF PAST PRESIDENTS SINCE EISENHOWER.
I DIDN'T VOTE FOR A SINGLE ONE OF THOSE GUYS AND SEE NO CANDIDATES ON THE HORIZON WHOM I'D VOTE FOR FOR SEWER INSPECTOR.
MY BEEF IS WITH MAINSTREAM MEDIA (MSM) AND TWO-FACED HYPOCRITES.


A stain on the Lincoln Memorial
"Trump’s insistence on speaking there on the Fourth of July is an affront to a sacred American space and its history.
The white marble steps of the Lincoln Memorial are a sacred place for America.
And they’re about to get stained."

HOW DOES ONE BREAK THE TRUTH TO THE 'LEFT WING'?

First, no, sweetie, the Lincoln Memorial is NOT A TEMPLE, has NO "sacred " status by any government document nor by edict of Heaven. That's delusional BS and a lie.

And before anyone plays that "Lincoln was a devout Christian" card, let's remember the man spent years trying to contact his dead son by occult means  and even encouraged Mary to hold seances in the White House, some that historical documents state he attended. Such was reported in the Boston Gazette. The President had a 'trance sitting' in 1863, and he permitted a correspondent from the Boston Gazette to be present. Abe was enthralled with spiritualism, a definite no-no in Christendom.

Secondly, the Emancipation Proclamation did NOT immediately free a single slave, NOT ONE!

Thirdly, Lincoln was just as racist as any in America today, from any race.

Face it, hypocrites, Lincoln stated succinctly that it was not possible for a negro to be a citizen under the Constitution of the United States and he saw them as dangerous to White America.
But, hallowed be his name and holy be his EMPTY tomb?
Spare us!

The black abolitionist H. Ford Douglas criticized Lincoln’s failure to support black citizenship before the war.
In this dual biography of Abraham Lincoln and John Quincy Adams, Fred Kaplan, who has previously written biographies of both men, compares Lincoln unfavorably with abolitionists on the great issues of the day. Unlike the abolitionists, Lincoln — in Kaplan’s telling — opposed emancipation and black rights through much of his life not because he was an anti-slavery moderate, as most historians have argued, but because he was an incorrigible racist and anti-abolitionist."

From the very liberal 'Huffington Post':
Abraham Lincoln Was A Racist And Other Hard Truths From Our Messy Past

"I grew up believing that the Civil War was fought to end slavery. I grew up believing that the South seceded following the election of Abraham Lincoln because he was going to end slavery. Neither of those are true. The South wanted to maintain a balance of free and slave states in order to maintain their political power in Congress.

And since I’m destroying illusions, I hate to tell you this, I really do, but Abraham Lincoln was, like many white men of his day, a stone-cold racist.

At the fourth Lincoln-Douglas debate, held in Charleston, South Carolina, the “Great Emancipator” began with the following [transcript courtesy of the National Park Service]:

“While I was at the hotel to-day, an elderly gentleman called upon me to know whether I was really in favor of producing a perfect equality between the negroes and white people. [Great Laughter.] While I had not proposed to myself on this occasion to say much on that subject, yet as the question was asked me I thought I would occupy perhaps five minutes in saying something in regard to it. I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]-that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied every thing. I do not understand that because I do not want a negro woman for a slave I must necessarily want her for a wife. [Cheers and laughter.] My understanding is that I can just let her alone. I am now in my fiftieth year, and I certainly never have had a black woman for either a slave or a wife. So it seems to me quite possible for us to get along without making either slaves or wives of negroes. I will add to this that I have never seen, to my knowledge, a man, woman or child who was in favor of producing a perfect equality, social and political, between negroes and white men. … I will also add to the remarks I have made (for I am not going to enter at large upon this subject,) that I have never had the least apprehension that I or my friends would marry negroes if there was no law to keep them from it, [laughter] but as Judge Douglas and his friends seem to be in great apprehension that they might, if there were no law to keep them from it, [roars of laughter] I give him the most solemn pledge that I will to the very last stand by the law of this State, which forbids the marrying of white people with negroes.
[Continued laughter and applause.]”

There were racists in the North and the South in the 1860s. There were racists in the North and the South in the 1920s. There were racists in the North and the South in the 1960s. There are racists in the North and the South today.
Racists exist in every race, culture, nation on earth.

The Confederate States of America is not the enemy. They were defeated. Slavery was defeated although it existed in ALL areas of America.

Racism has not been defeated.

White supremacy has not been defeated.

Black supremacy has not been defeated.

Nor Latino, Asian, or any other "supremacy".

EVERY race likes to feel that they are #1.

Less than half of the most segregated cities in the United States in 2017 are located in the old Confederacy.
  The two most segregated cities in the United States are Detroit and Chicago. Cleveland is fifth and Buffalo is seventh. These northern industrial cities were intentionally segregated, by private actors and by the local and federal governments, in response to the Great Migration. Many violent and horrific struggles in the civil rights movement occurred in the South, but we cannot forget that desegregation in schools was not exactly accepted with grace and dignity in many places in the North.

From a leading Black newspaper:
'Atlanta Black Star' was created to publish empowering narratives for all people of African descent and everyone who adheres to our culture.

"Lincoln once wrote, “My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery.”

Lincoln and His Defense of Scientific Racism
Robert Morgan, a writer for the Institute for Historical Review, confirmed that, on Aug. 14, 1862, Lincoln invited free Black ministers to the White House to have a conversation. Lincoln did not hesitate to convince them of their inferiority when he candidly said the following: “You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong I need not discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both, as I think your race suffers very greatly, many of them, by living among us, while ours suffers from your presence. In a word, we suffer on each side. If this is admitted, it affords a reason at least why we should be separated.”

Lincoln’s Promotion of White Supremacy

When addressing the Dred Scott Decision of 1857, Lincoln quoted the following: “There is a natural disgust in the minds of nearly all white people to the idea of indiscriminate amalgamation of the white and black races … A separation of the races is the only perfect preventive of amalgamation, but as an immediate separation is impossible, the next best thing is to keep them apart where they are not already together. If white and black people never get together in Kansas, they will never mix blood in Kansas…”

Lincoln was not firmly insistent on freeing the slaves of the South, his words reveals that he personally did not want to: “I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.”

Lincoln believed that Black people living in close proximity to white people would ruin the image of the pure white family that he found ideal. He felt the birth of mixed race children would cause family life to “collapse.” He said, “Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man.”

Send Blacks Back to Africa

Lincoln believed as Thomas Jefferson, Henry Clay and other founders who were slave-owners did, that colonization, the idea that a majority of the African-American population should leave the United States and resettle in Africa or maybe Central America, was the best way to confront the problem of slavery.

NO SLAVES WERE FREED BY LINCOLN'S PROCLAMATION...NONE.
 

The Emancipation Proclamation as a military measure did NOT apply to ALL slaves. Border slave states like Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, all of which were loyal to the Union were exempt and allowed to keep their slaves. (Missouri actually had two competing governments; one loyal to, and recognized by the Union, and one loyal to the Confederacy).

Lincoln also exempted selected areas of the Confederacy that had already come under Union control in hopes of gaining the loyalty of whites in those states.
In practice, then, the Emancipation Proclamation didn’t immediately free a single slave, as the only places it applied were places where the federal government had no control—the Southern states listed as currently fighting against the Union."

WHY IS IT SUDDENLY NOT OKAY FOR A PRESIDENT TO MAKE A SPEECH ON JULY 4TH?

House Democratic leaders are protesting President Trump’s decision to place himself at the center of the national Fourth of July celebration on the Mall, saying his planned speech at the Lincoln Memorial would waste taxpayer dollars and impart a partisan flavor to what has traditionally been an apolitical event.

Pssst! Hello, liberals, it is not uncommon for a President to make a speech on the 4th of July.
As usual, you're being hypocritical about this.

And let's simultaneously address sexual misconduct among ALL the Prezzes, shall we, since liberals are screaming their heads off about that "bad orange man Trump" and his affairs, which we should loathe, but let's loathe them all equally? Try it, it works for me!

I won't dive into the racist remarks by each of these past Presidents, but there were PLENTY among this group!

--Listen to Franklin D. Roosevelt's Fourth of July Address
In a broadcast from his home in Hyde Park, New York, on July 4, 1941,
Was that while he was banging his secretary Marguerite in the White House or Eleanor's secretary Lucy? 

--Try to remember the speech delivered by President Woodrow Wilson on July 4, 1918 to the U.S. diplomatic corps at Mount Vernon.
Did the press focus on Wilson trying to dump his fiance Edith Boiling Galt for his mistress of seven years (whom he'd had an affair with while married to his first wife) Mary Allen Hulbert?

--One of the longest Independence Day speeches was delivered by President Harry S. Truman on July 4, 1951 in the shadow of the Washington Monument.
Now Truman didn't appear to fool around on his wife, but there was "the IRS Scandal".

--President John F. Kennedy spoke to a large crowd at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on July 4, 1962.
Awww, that's so nice, yes?
NO GOP riots or media frothing at the mouth, was there? Nope.
How many mistresses did Jack have at that time? Anybody know the count?

--There were no protests when President Ronald Reagan's Address to the Nation on Independence Day, July 4, 1986 was delivered aboard the USS John F. Kennedy in New York Harbor as part of "Liberty Weekend".
One could well argue that "the Gipper" was too old for affairs, but Nancy's with Frank Sinatra carried over into the White House, Nancy WAS pregnant before Ron married her, and there's that White House astrologer thing, but NO MEDIA UPROAR.

- July 4, 1993, REMARKS BY PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON AT PHILADELPHIA LIBERTY MEDAL CEREMONY, Independence Hall Steps, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
(This was before he was sued by Paula Jones for sexual harassment or offered Lewinsky a cigar, lied to the nation about it, and was impeached, right?)

President George W. Bush spoke at Philadelphia’s Constitution Hall on July 4, 2001.
NO media/Democrat outrage.
Too many Bush scandals to count. 
Both Daddy Bush and Junior were above the law, it seems.

--Remarks by President Obama at Fourth of July Celebration
Three cheers, right?
Did ANYBODY protest that?
Nothing has come out yet about 'Big O' cheating on 'Big Mike', but there was plenty sexual misconduct going on in his administration personnel.
Take JOE BIDEN, for example, PLEASE take Joe!

ABOUT IMPEACHMENT FOR TRUMP?
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.


Numerous Presidents of the United States have been threatened with impeachment and removal from office.
SEVERAL were Democrats.


Bill Clinton: Released to the public, the Starr Report outlined a case for impeaching Clinton on 11 grounds, including perjury, obstruction of justice, witness-tampering, and abuse of power, and also provided explicit details of the sexual relationship between the president and Ms. Lewinsky. On October 8, 1998, the House authorized a wide-ranging impeachment inquiry, and on December 11, the House Judiciary Committee approved three articles of impeachment. On December 19, the House impeached Clinton.

“The fear that Democrats have is that this becomes a partisan brawl, and that it becomes unpopular because a lot of the electorate sees Congress as dysfunctional, as engaging in partisan warfare, and not focusing on the issues that they were elected to focus on: infrastructure, healthcare, jobs,” Dallek said.

BARACK OBAMA:
During Barack Obama's tenure as President of the United States from 2009 to 2017, certain Republican members of Congress, as well as Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich, stated that Obama had engaged in impeachable activity.

But the effort to impeach Barack but didn't get the necessary votes.


FDR: The impeachable offenses of FDR are much more significant than lying about sex, audiotapes, or what the meaning of the word “is” is.
1-Probably the most serious case against FDR was his attempt to take over the Supreme Court.
When the Court ruled that many of his New Deal programs were unconstitutional, FDR proposed to add six additional justices to stack the vote.

2- Selling/giving arms to nations at war. Congress passed the Neutrality Act, forbidding the US from providing arms to any combatant nation. But when Britain and Germany went to war in late 1939, Churchill and FDR secretly discussed ways to circumvent the Neutrality Acts.
While FDR’s behind the scene dealings have become celebrated in later years as ‘clever,’ he was in fact breaking the law; a law that he himself had created.
The bombing of Pearl Harbor, the official declaration of war, in addition to being a retroactive justification for his actions, provided a distraction to keep FDR free from impeachment worries for years to come.

2-Pearl Harbor warnings ignored.
Two weeks before Pearl Harbor, Secretary of Defense Henry Stimson wrote in his diary that FDR wished to be at war against Japan but that he “did not want it to appear that the United States fired the first shot.”


HERBERT HOOVER:
During the 1932-33 lame-duck session of Congress, Congressman Louis Thomas McFadden twice introduced impeachment resolutions against President Herbert Hoover.The resolutions were tabled by wide margins.

Harry S. Truman: 
In April 1951, President Harry S. Truman fired General of the Army Douglas MacArthur. Congressional Republicans responded with numerous calls for Truman's head. The Senate held hearings, and a year later, Congressmen George H. Bender and Paul W. Shafer separately introduced House bills 607 and 614 against President Truman. The resolutions were referred to the Judiciary Committee which, being run by Democrats, sat on them. However, the US Senate held extensive hearings on the matter

AND IN THE GOP:


Richard M. Nixon :

Survived TWO major attempts to impeach him, 1972 and 1973. On August 9, 1974, Nixon became the first president to resign.


Ronald Reagan: 
On March 6, 1987 Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez, Democrat of Texas, introduced articles of impeachment against President Ronald Reagan regarding the Iran Contra affair, leading to the joint hearings that dominated the summer. A special prosecutor was appointed.


George H. W. Bush: On January 16, 1991, Congressman Henry B. Gonzalez introduced H. Res. 34, to impeach President George H. W. Bush for starting the Gulf War. The resolution was referred to the Judiciary Committee, where it died. Gonzalez tried again with H. Res. 86 on February 21. Both bills were referred to the Subcommittee on Economic and Commercial Law March 18, 1992, where the efforts also died.


George W. Bush:
Due to the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, President George W. Bush and other officials were targets of impeachment efforts. None of these efforts advanced past the hearing stage.

I COULD GO ON FOR YEARS ABOUT ALL THE SCANDAL AND SEXUAL MISCONDUCT IN EVERY ADMINISTRATION SINCE WASHINGTON.

I COULD ALSO LIST FOR MONTHS EVERY HYPOCRITICAL, HATE-FILLED ARTICLE IN OUR MSM AND EVEN BY CURRENT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, BUT SUFFICE IT TO SAY THAT BOTH PARTIES' INGLORIOUS CROOKS HAVE PILES OF DEEP DIRT ALL AROUND THEM SO THAT NEITHER SIDE WILL SERIOUSLY GO AFTER THE OTHER IN ANY MEANINGFUL, PROSECUTABLE WAY.

DO A WEB SEARCH FOR "SCANDALS OF CONGRESS" OR "SCANDALS OF U.S. PRESIDENTS", SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH.

AS FOR THIS "STAIN" THING?
THE STAIN BELONGS TO LINCOLN, MANY OTHER PRESIDENTS AS WELL, BUT IT IS SET IN BY OUR CURRENT PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR NEWS SOURCES.
THE STAIN IS THERE ALSO DUE TO THE GULLIBILITY AND PARTISANSHIP OF THE DUMBED-DOWN MASSES WHO KEEP VOTING FOR CRIMINALS.

LESS THAN 50% OF ELIGIBLE VOTERS ACTUALLY VOTE ANYMORE, BUT JUST ABOUT 100% BITCH, AND BITCH ONLY ABOUT THE OTHER PARTY'S FAILURES WITHOUT MENTIONING THE FAILING OF THEIR OWN.

THAT SAYS HYPOCRITES TO ME.

THE PRESS SHOULD REPORT ALL HYPOCRITES ALIKE, NO BIAS, SINCE HYPOCRISY RULES AMERICA, NO MATTER WHICH 'PARTY' IS IN POWER.
