Americans are struggling as they never have since the Great Depression while Timothy Geithner travels abroad and reassures India that we will continue to support their economy and vowed that we won't harm their thriving outsourcing sector, while the majority of the unemployed can't find jobs in their own country. What comfort does it offer to Americans to know that we support foreign economies as the expense of our own???
This report was released in March, yet this is the first I've ever heard of it, and all of us should be outraged! Our Mainstream News Media is demonstrating that when it pertains to reporting important facts to the public, they are absolutely worthless! Those of us who are condemning China and Venezuela for their restrictions on the news media haven't far to go to find that China and other state-controlled news outlets (at times) are no worse than our own news media; the only difference I can see is that our media releases enough valid news to lull the public into believing that we have news that reflects the needs of the public, however, when it comes to important issues, our MSM is no better than any other fascist/authoritarian news outlet that exist in some of the most restrictive societies on earth.
Ron Paul recently stated that President Obama is not a socialist, but a corporatist. After reading the above report, even though I know the majority of our economic woes stem from past administrations, I have to wonder if Dr. Paul is correct. The American public cannot make informed decisions and evaluate whether or not our economy is actually improving if we do not have all of the facts, not those that our MSM deems acceptable for the public to read. In my opinion, our Mainstream News Media presents the clearest danger to our Liberty and Freedom, and if they don't start reporting the news, not propaganda, the ability of the American public to remain an "informed public" is in danger of falling into the pitfalls that are usually associated when a communist/authoritarian/fascist government controls the news media, not one that professes to be the home of the "Free and the Brave."
