Bill, the seminal point of having Joe act in stead of the entrenched media is seemingly lost in the pop culture debate seen above. Those trite and inane comments oozing from the leftward side of the spectrum seem to intentionally miss the point, and the trap is then sprung on those who wrestle the weasels in the trees.
It is much more sad, frightening and discouraging than merely, “if the entrenched media did their job” {I steadfastly refuse to dignify their own framing of words and phrases, and I will not now, or ever elevate them to “mainstream” thought status), we would not have to send out freelance reporters to get at the truth.
Think about that for a moment. The very notion that it has become relatively “acceptable” that we are fed a steady diet of lies, distortions, half-truths, photoshopped pictures, staged events, one-sided overt propaganda…by our OWN information stream guardians, is treachery of epic proportions. And yet, we have become so inured to it, that it is almost palatable. “Oh those darn leftist rascals, they tried to cheat us out of the facts once again, I guess we have to uncover yet another forged document, another staged event, another pack of lies”.
The US and Israel are routinely slandered, painted by con men and hucksters with press passes as the “bad guy”, and with impunity, growing more and more brazen with each passing day.
Roger Simon has “blacklisted” himself in Hollywood because he has come to the moral conclusion that he would rather be honorable with himself than to be thought chic, by propaganda wing in film and TV. One has to risk being shunned, become a leper or outcast to simply ask for basic fairness and truth. David Mamet and David Horowitz and Dennis Miller have fought the same internal struggle. Risk, killing a career by not selling out their honor.
What does it say about us as a people, as a nation, as men and women of honor when we merely tsk tsk “those darn leftists” when they yet again bastardize the truth in their “by any means necessary” assault on Israel and the US?
Where is the moral outrage? Where is the demand for an apology? It is lost in the sea of overt and subliminal peer pressure to not be “uncool”. The left has their shepherds and their sheep. The shepherds know that they are spreading vicious lies and mass distortions, snickering at the imbeciles who lap it up and regurgitate it, as seen on these pages.
The dupes who buy into it, pop culture groupies who can’t stand up to peer pressure, foaming at the mouth on Koz Kidz and Huffington, lapping up propaganda and belching ignorance…while the truth gets gang raped by the NYTimes, Reuters, CNN and MSNBC.
Yon and Totten and Roggio are heroes…but, if Joe is what gets attention…perhaps the former, those hardworking stars… will garner the kudos they deserve. Though, it is terribly sad, heartbreaking really, to any loyal and honorable countryman…that ANY of them are necessary to get what we ought to expect from a quasi-public trust. An information stream that gives us truth, not leftist propaganda. We have lost that. And I’m afraid, forever. We are all the lesser for it. We have been demeaned. We are being defrauded.
Without truth, we are adrift. Without honor, we are abandoned. If, to self-govern, we need truth and facts, we are being driven by cowards, liars and traitors. Who are these people who steal my information stream? And clear the path to hell with their agenda?
They are no less than the enemy.
