EYE OFF THE BALL

The media in this country are not doing their jobs.  They are fixated on sex.  Whether it’s gay marriage, which is basically a battle won, or their obsession with Anthony Weiner of New York.  Weiner’s fate will be decided by the voter’s like it should be.  The mayor of San Diego, Filner who is accused of groping women should be impeached or forced to resign or left in office.  It’s up to the people of San Diego.  Where the press is dropping the ball is in the cases of Governor Bob McDonald of Virginia who wants to tell you how to live your life, and claims to be a good Christian.  He has been caught taking money and gifts from a con-man, which at first he denied taking, but now he says he will pay it back.  This guy should be indicted and put in jail for taking bribes.  How about the Governor of North Carolina a man who lied to the people when he said he wouldn’t sign any new antiabortion laws before the election and then does sign one.  Why aren’t the news people pointing out the hypocrisy, and illegal things they are doing?  This goes back to Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin and his acolytes who stripped public unions of some of their rights.  Tom Brokaw of all people said the people of Wisconsin shouldn’t be surprised because Walker campaigned saying he would do that.  Walker never campaigned on that.  Brokaw and people like him didn’t do their homework.  The news networks and newspapers are in the pockets of big business.  Of course there are exceptions.  There are people who are trying to investigate, but they are being drowned out by the company line.
