I’ve always wondered whether “real” news on the front page of newspapers every day, would get readers and sell. I’m talking about news that would show what our legislative “leaders” did the previous day……..what they approved for their fleecing of the taxpayers, what they increased for the govt ‘ees, and then what the total taxes are to keep a govt ‘ee working for 20 years but getting lifetime health&pension bfts. I think taxpayers from the private sector would be appalled. It might sell. It might do the job that a “watchdog” media is supposed to do………
Then there are the issues the legislators are going to fleece us further……..carbon taxes, cap & trade, prevent drilling……… a real print media would describe the debates, both sides, and then there’d be a better public understanding of how the legislators are acting so irresponsibly. An informed electorate is vital to the selecting of responsible legislators. Right now we’re not getting much of either, and it’s hurting us dearly.
