Media Morons

Okay, I watched a bit of Glen Beck's spot on Fox and Friends this morning. I have to say, that he has got to be so frustrated when he goes on that show. I know that I have been told that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Well, the folks that say that don't watch the news.

Moving on to my point...

I have been watching the media go into a frenzy over the economy. Watching them try to appear financially astute is laughable. These are people who cannot get it through their heads that the same people who have our government in debt for trillions of dollars are NOT the best people to solve problems in the private sector. They don't seem to understand that it is government involvement in our financial institutions that has caused the mess. They all seem to be looking to the government to fix our problems.

Hello! Wake up people! I would not let any of those idiots in Washington balance my checkbook. Why are you morons in the media pushing for our government to fix a problem that their ignorance helped to create in the first place?

Now, they think they have to scrutinize every penny spent by the banks to try to drum up business. The morons bash Bank of America for drumming up a TON of business at the Super Bowl. All we hear about is what they spent on the event, but they stand to TRIPLE, yes triple in earnings from the event the amount they spent going into the Super Bowl. That is not what we get to hear about. The media just harps on about how much Bank of America spent on the event.

In the mean time, a tax dodger who could NEVER be an I.R.S. agent is now IN CHARGE OF THE I.R.S.!!! The idiots in the media are more concerned about a Super Bowl party (in which the guests paid the majority of the expenses out of their own pockets) simply because it involved banking executives. We are about to see another tax dodger and a man who lobbied with health care companies put in charge of national health care. But what is the media more concerned about? They are more worried about Citibank holding true on a retirement package for the former C.E.O. being able to use one of the banks private jets. In all this, they gripe about "tax payer dollars" being used to give fringe benefits to execs.

Let me put this into perspective. Say you got a low interest government secured loan.. I don't know, maybe a student loan. Your tuition and books only took up about half of it. So, you go out and buy a nice dvd player for your car and install some little televisions in the headrests. What would you say to someone who came along and bitched at you for using that money in an "inappropriate" way? Exactly! You'd tell em to kiss your ass! So, if that is okay for you, how come when a bank gets a government secured LOAN, that they can't do what they want with it AS LONG AS THEY PAY IT BACK?

There is no difference, as long as the loans are paid back, nobody has a right to tell you or the banks what to do with the money that is lent. HOWEVER, it can be said that no more loans will be given to people who are irresponsible with the money.

Let me give another example of how ignorant the media is. Think back to the elections. How much did we actually hear about Supreme Court appontments? We heard about all sorts of things that are outside of the president's power, and outside of the president's responsibilities, but how much time was spent on one of the most important things a president can do? Almost none!

What we heard was, "How many jobs can you produce?" or "How can you fix health care?" and "How will you fix the economy?" What? Were we appointing a king, or were we electing a president? The president cannot DO any of those things without congress. Hell, fixing the economy is something the government needs to stay the hell out of.

What we didn't hear were questions about the empty judicial seats that keep adding up. What we didn't hear were questions about how they would use the power of their office to stop the fillibustering of judicial appointments that require no debate, maybe a few questions and a yes or no vote.

I have heard Glen Beck say a few times that the club mentality in Washington has GOT to be busted up. The only way we can do that is to get the media on board. Here is the problem. The majority of the folks in media today are so much like the politicians that they want to be a part of the club too. They are mostly a bunch of social climbers. They are all about themselves, and they all want power, or money, or posterity, or fame, or all of the above. Blinded by their ambitions and thrist for power or money, both politicians and memebers of the media have brought this country to its knees.
