Fox News and the Mass Media
Obviously, it’s rather easy to criticize the political and financial establishment. A glance at our current economic situation informs you that something ‘just ain’t right.’ It is apparent that our beloved politicians take pleasure in bamboozling us. Their policies of tax, spend, bailout and regulate continually reap their ugly consequences. Of course, they pretend everything is hunky-dory.
Ask these questions. Why doesn’t the mass media expose the disastrous economic policies of the establishment. Could it be they all sleep in the same bed of government interventionism and socialism.
Let’s face it. The establishment needs the press to continually brainwash the masses into accepting the liberty violating system of government interventionism. Of course, members of the press need the political establishment to retain their position of resident intellectuals.
Here’s something to ponder on. Why didn’t the mass media get a whiff of the bad economics the political establishment foisted on its hapless constituents? Could it be that most reporters are ignorant of the basic laws of economics. Is it possible they unwittingly continue to pave the way to economic collapse and eventual totalitarianism? If not, then they must plead guilty to intellectual dishonesty.
As you may know, Fox News takes a different stand, often supporting the values our Founding Fathers built our great nation on. Robert Ringer wonders about the future of Fox News in the excellent article “Fox News’s Liberal Future?”.
