RSSMainstream Media Omissions Continue

Recently I talked about how the mainstream media is not really doing its job by omitting facts inconvenient to their story lines. It just happened with the departure of Van Jones from the Obama Administration where, if you listened to many of in the MSM, was only because of some minor missteps like calling Republicans “assholes” because he could not explain how they were able to pass legislation without the numbers Democrats currently have. It was either that excuse according to the MSM or the fact that he supposedly signed a document claiming the United States was responsible for the 9/11 attacks and let them happen. Sure, he apologized and claimed that he didn’t read what he was signing, the media readily pointed out but they never went into the laundry list against Van Jones.
You know, like the fact that he founded Color of Change, a radical black nationalist organization that recently tried to take down Glenn Beck because he dared to tell the truth about Van Jones. They never talked about his being the lead speaker at a Communist Party function where he and his ideas were welcomed with open arms. Oh, and they never dared mention that he espoused Communist principles that were so foreign to American style government while with STORM (Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement) among many other instances. Nope. The media was just content to poo poo his actions for as long as possible and omit the truth to keep many Americans in the dark about who Van Jones really is – a radical communist who would no doubt institute a Stalinist regime if given the chance. And you can bet it would be complete with death camps and gulags for his political enemies. It is what the left does.
Well, the omissions continue. Today it is Christopher S. Rugaber of the Associated (People’s) Press forgetting to tell the whole truth about history. While he does point out the truth about the automobile bailouts of Chrysler and GM and that much of the money we taxpayers footed to them will not be repaid despite grandiose promises by liberals in government that it would (and which I repeatedly said not to hold your breath counting on it) he runs cover for most of those who bear responsibility for the whole fiasco. Instead he blames only one man, President George W. Bush.
Treasury Department officials have acknowledged that most of the $23 billion provided by the Bush administration is likely to be lost.
Uh … cough … excuse me Mr. Rugaber? Don’t you think it might be important to mention CONGRESS as the ones that actually provided the bailout? You know, since they are the ones that actually make laws and spend money in this country? How about a mention of how Obama supported such a plan?
Today’s actions are a necessary step to help avoid a collapse in our auto industry that would have devastating consequences for our economy and our workers. With the short-term assistance provided by this package, the auto companies must bring all their stakeholders together — including labor, dealers, creditors and suppliers — to make the hard choices necessary to achieve long-term viability. The auto companies must not squander this chance to reform bad management practices and begin the long-term restructuring that is absolutely required to save this critical industry and the millions of American jobs that depend on it.
These omissions are very important to understanding the actual truth of the subject. In Mr. Rugaber only mentions Obama once in his article and that is only in passing by referring to the “Obama administration’s Treasury Department.” How about some complete reporting?
It certainly would help to inform the American public, many of whom are still under the delusion that Obama is clean as the wind driven snow and not a radical leftist who honestly doesn’t have a clue about anything of importance to government.
