SOCIALISM

Definition of: An economic system in which the basic means of production are primarily owned and controlled collectively, usually by government under some system of central planning.

Socialism Works Well Only For The Many
Who Have Lost Their "Will"

AND For The "Will," of The Few, Who Need To Control The Many
In The End It Allows Only For "Victims" To "Survive"
And Those Who Had "Survived" To Become "Victims"

There Is A Crucial Difference Between
Helping Those In Need...

And Needing, To Need, To "Help" The "Needy"

For Whatever Reason...

[Youth] Casualties of War

MEAN-SPIRITED BIAS

An Open Letter To The Editors of

Newsweek Magazine

While your written article on Sarah Palin was fair, I find the photo for your cover article [difficult to see here] on Palin outrageous, and clear evidence that there is no end to the limit, and the moral turpitude that the electronic and print media will do to trash anyone from the Political Right [Also See: Inside Edition With Deborah Norville - 10/08/08]

Your job is to report the news, not to invent it. To be fair, do you really want to make "physical characteristics" of all the candidates and issue for a national election? Are you so blinded by your bias and political agenda that you fail to see those who live in the red states will be deeply offended by your mean-spirited article?

The ONLY real purposes in portraying Sarah Palin, in this manner is to personally humiliate; and shallowly attempt to discredit her, merely through her appearance - just short of displaying her as a "caricature" - you call this is sophisticated journalism?

I would expect this kind of article from the National Inquirer, not Newsweek. Just remember, whom you help to elect, you will have to eventually explain and defend... Perhaps not an enviable position in say two years...

To be clear, my issue here is fairness, balance and objectivity in the discussion and portrayal of the candidates... It is not the mass media's prerogative to shape an election, because of their preconceived agendas - particularly as it is related to non-essential issues...

Media Fairness – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

There are many who continue to be disgusted by the Media's bias regarding the Presidential race... The McClatchy News Paper/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette included! The same questions aimed at Sarah Palin could just as easily be asked of Barack Obama, but where have they been? Amazingly, it seemed as if Obama was coronated by the Media as President of the United States [virtually ipso facto], the day he won the election as a Senator, in November of 2004. At issue here is the responsibility to report truth and reality objectively and fairly - for both political parties. It is not under the Media's purview to shape the facts in order to affect any political outcome.

If Sarah Palin had committed the same kinds of gaffes that Joe Biden did in Thursday's debate; if she had demonstrated the same poor command of the "facts" and/or perceived as intentionally misleading the audience - those comments would have been splashed in BOLD PRINT on the front page of every print media in the nation; and in like manner CROWED from the roof tops of virtually every electronic media outlet in the country. Instead, the media's response was to provide merciful silence for Joe Biden's astounding "mis-statements;" and then conversely provide patronizing comments about Palin's "folksy" demeanor; followed by snarky indictments regarding her intelligence and preparedness.

Biden did indeed APPEAR to have a bit more detail and substance, but how valuable is that if many of his policy-oriented facts are wrong? Since when, and in what universe were accurate facts ever not important for being qualified for ANYTHING (See Editorial Page, Oct. 4^th)? Given the clear and overwhelming media bias in favor of Obama/Biden, why should the Obama camp need to raise millions of dollars to purchase air time, and print space to advance their cause?

The Elite Media – is the singular most powerful institution in American culture, with the least amount of accountability. They are driven by their subjective worldviews and advertising dollars; and their complicity in shaping American elections is barely subtle. Americans can hold them more accountable than what they do. I will begin first by canceling my subscription to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The Real Question for Him is Not What He Believes To Be True...

But What Is He So Angry About?

In Varying Degrees We All Have Our Inner Pathologies.

Don't We?

The Thing About About A Pathology

Is That When It Matures

And Has Full Control Over Someone
It Works Determinedly To Evangelize Itself To All Others

Ultimately For Control...

Hungrily Reaching Out... Spitefully Consuming...

Grinding and Masticating
