The Democrat party thinks it has a winner of a scandal. President Bush fired 8 prosecuting US attorneys a couple of weeks ago. The Democrat leaders went ballistic over such a terrible thing. They are calling for the head of Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez. The news media is beating this drum like Washington has never seen such a terrible scandal.
When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, he fired ALL of the prosecuting US attorneys. Some of them were investigating crimes by Democrat politicians, namely Bill Clinton. This immediately stopped all those investigations. The sheep Bill Clinton appointed would never find a Democrat in the wrong if the Democrat pulled out a gun and shot somebody in front of them. But, if a Republican watched a video of someone shooting someone, the Republican would be investigated for shooting another person.
It gets my goat that the news media has become part of the Democrat party spin machine. As far as the news media is concerned, all statements by Democrat politicians are true and should not be questioned. All statements by Republican politicians are false and all should be investigated for telling a lie.
They pull this with global warming. There is no scientific evidence to back up global warming. There is a lot of speculation and computer modeling to suggest global warming. There is a lot of scientific evidence to prove that the claims by global warming proponents are false. The news media refuses to print any of these stories, or if they do print the stories they are buried in the back of the paper. Which party supports global warming, the Democrat party. Which party questions global warming, the Republican party. Another example of Democrat always true. Republican always false.
I would love to see a newspaper or broadcast news agency actually report the news. I am not asking that it be reported as Republican news. I am saying that they should report the news. If a politician says something, they should check to make sure it is true. If it is false, the politician should be held to the standard of the truth. This should be iron clad for both parties. If the news agency or paper that did this, they would prosper and have great success. The ratings for their programs would go through the roof. The newspapers would fly off of the shelves.
I may as well ask for the moon as to ask for fairness in the news reporting. It would be nice for a change. Fox News does a pretty good job of it and look where their ratings are going. They are the top rated cable news. Soon they may even rival the big three of ABC, CBS and NBC. That would be delightful.
