The Neocon Journalist

That is an aspect of the USA media rarely noticed in a real way. The 'back up' for the GOP rant. It is considered to be a fairly benign entity of the War Correspondents Lineup with dignity and the threat of death at every turn. They know, you know. These are the journalists 'on the ground' risking life and limb to bring the truth to the American people.

Now, according to their great wisdom and dedicated knowledge the USA is suppose to be a mind reader. The USA has omnipotent knowledge that the Arab League SECRETLY desires the USA to come in and take over at every turn.

These journalists far exceed the power and knowledge of the CIA and are often thought to be spies by the governments of sovereign nations. 

Well, that omnipotent USA no longer exists. There is no 'making up the story' based on past behavior of a country abusive of it's power, it's wealth and it's people. The people of the USA have rights and they have a right to THE TRUTH. They have a right to base their votes on FACT and not fiction and they have the right to actually vote for a President that GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THEM! 

There is such a thing as a United Nations where nations gather to bring pressure to bear through sovereign measures to bring about peace in the world. The majority of the American people rather have a decision process in place that actually upholds international treaties and conventions. Believe that? Incredible to think the USA can actually sit at a table with all these other nations of varying types of government to come to a concensus on peace. 

Oddly enough, the American people are MORE interested in that dynamic than the power play of corporate news agencies to satisfy the thirst and hunger of Wall Street.

GET OVER IT.
