A REAL REVOLUTION IS HAPPENING RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES


BUT we have a highly educated and monied elite who like their bias left, and will demand more of same.

The revolution is against the media bias in the press and it is bearing fruit. Raines and Boyd leaving the NYT is the edge of a black hole in journalism. The Guardian in England is now having to "correct" lie after lie. The only reason for this sudden honesty is the internet and the obsessed maniacs who have decided to fact check everybody. There are now so many of them that soon every newspaper MIGHT have to have a nodding acquaintance with fact and truth. The breadth of the corruption is nationwide. The Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle (where the people want their news slanted and hard left), the Minneapolis Daily Worker, Chicago Tribune, and many others are agenda driven and the agenda is Left. We are seeing a call to accounts....

BUT

Things won't change much because the advertisers support what is going on. We have a strange change in our culture. That change is the formation of an elite, college educated and well paid, that has become very left. They make a lot of money because they are professionals. Most work for government and this means they are an entitlement group dependent upon tax money for their life styles. This huge entitlement class includes everyone in education, every government worker (Federal, State, and Local), and many business interests (Defense, all science and research, road building, bridge building and so on. And farmers, don't forget the Ag interests). They need higher taxes to make higher wages; them rockets to the moon ain't happening on free enterprise, baby. This new elite needs laws passed so they can "take care" of others like handicapped, sick, criminals, and so on. There is a "caretaker" elite of social workers, psychologists, health care people, and so on. This huge new elite supports "art": art dealers, symphonies, museums, and such. This "art complex" is tax supported because not even the well paid elites can afford any of it. This means musicians, actors, artists, writers of their stuff, and everybody connected with these tax subsidized artistic endeavors is a part of this "entitlement class".

That class only exists through taxes. Operas, symphonies, ballets display their wares in tax supported theatres and their wages are partly tax dollars; admissions don't cover half the costs. Movies are the only big "art" medium that pays its own way. And even in that business tax shelters and taxes work. Do you think 80% of these fake actors could make the money they make if their wages were actually pegged to their box office? Most would be SAG minimum day players or weekly salaried minimums. Have you ever wondered how in the hell a real business could shell out shareholder money to finance the crap that comes out?

This means that all these papers, news outlets, and TV stations peddle what is WANTED by this huge high income group. The NYT bias is sold to a more than willing readership. They WANT Left Wing bias. Fact check all you want and it won't make any difference in the overall product other than they will be more clever in shading the news. The current semi-secret, til Slate sniffed them out, NYT "flood the zone" hit pieces on the drug companies is the first campaign along these lines.

It will never be over. Wars, whether over defense of our country or over principal, use monies this entitlement class can use for new cars. That's why they oppose wars of any kind. If principals meant anything to these bozos we'd have been in Zimbabwe a year ago, but the black entitlement class wants their checks, not free black people.

Truth? Hell I'm all for it if it will get me laid on a Saturday night. link
