Diverse news coverage in America is becoming a dinosaur in American society. If you seek that diversity from broadcast and print media, forget about it. Has media consolidation contributed to the demise of informative, accurate, and non-biased news coverage? As far as national coverage, they all have political agendas and their news coverage reflects that. It’s not about the news or anything associated with over-the-air programming and print media. Of course, with past relaxation of cross-ownership in media, we saw the market players shrink to a handful of corporate media moguls. As they concentrated the voices of news coverage, the messages began to reflect political views of the owners, and you see where it has brought them. Previous media ownership consolidation has resulted newspapers losing readership at a record pace and the national broadcast networks losing viewers likewise. They are scaring off viewers. So, their solution is further consolidation, for their customers sake.  BS. It’s all about the continued worship of their chosen religion, $$$$’s, power, and control over public opinion.

So, other than local programming, you can count on the corporate media to slant news that fits their agenda or the agenda of one of the giant corporations whose members sit on their board of directors and visa versa. An interlocking corporate orgy, if you will. Look at this report from Fair.org and you can see how deep the corporate cooperation is.  If you are interested in the current ownership concentration, stateofthemedia.org has a comprehensive list, with links for each.

Now the advocacy group National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) for “corporate media” is requesting the FCC further relax rules on cross-ownership, again. An NAB spokesperson is quoted:

“Simply put, it is untenable to maintain broadcast-only restrictions on the assumption that common ownership of stations could somehow reduce the ability of consumers to access diverse information or harm competition in the information marketplace.”

In this public announcement the NAB states:

Specifically, NAB urged the commission to eliminate the newspaper-broadcast and radio-television cross-ownership rules. The group also called for “substantial reform” of the television duopoly rule, urging the Commission to allow combinations in markets of all sizes. “Same-market combinations improve programming generally and promote the provision of news programming specifically,” NAB said. NAB also expressed its support for the continuing relaxation of local radio restrictions “in light of the increasingly fragmented audio marketplace and the financial challenges facing local stations.”

Well these are the same arguments made before the FCC prior that resulted in non-diverse, corporate-controlled coverage and opinion. So further consolidation would somehow be adventageous for viewers. Continue down this road and you will end up with “media that is to big to fail” and the Federal government stepping up to save the day and taking them over.

People are moving away from the major media as a source for fact because of the corporate control of news content. Media is losing money because people seek truth, not self-serving propaganda.  However, as self-serving as they are, the current state of affairs brings them in lock-step with the current Executive Branch’s philosophy – We can provide a government teat big enough for everyone to suck off of. How about a serving of social, economic, and ecological justice to go with that teat?

If any changes in media ownership are to occur, it should be to break up the monopolies enjoyed by the few major players left in the game. Urge your elected representative to oppose further media consolidation and enact rules to break them up. Maybe we can get back to fiction being reported as fiction and fact as fact.

The White House can find unlimited ways to keep US borders open to Mexico and refuse to allow proper enforcement to keep Americans safe. I guess it’s just easier to keep the illegals flooding in and keep American out of parts of Arizona. Our border control system is sick and American are sick and tired of the White House’s growing propensity to adhere to the U.N. mandate of open borders.

If lack of manpower is the reason we can’t control US borders, I guarantee that’s a problem easily rectified. I propose those ready, willing, and able can commit to a 2-week volunteer program to increase border enforcement manpower. Provide minimal training and you can have an unlimited pool of candidates who are willing to volunteer their time to provide safety at our sovereign countries borders. I’ll guarantee there are millions of available American, like myself, more than willing to step up to protect America’s borders.

I would be the first to volunteer. Try me.

As Americans continue to experience ever increasing infringements on our individual liberty, there has to be some questions as to the source of these infringements.

Progressives in the US and across the world have wanted to bring America in-line with U.N. human rights mandates. Our Constitution doesn’t allow for America’s sovereignty to be subverted by superseding mandates.

However, the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) allows for our Constitution to be usurped, even though we have not ratified it, as the rest of the world desires. Obama can just implement the declaration’s human rights agenda without actual ratification. Read the UDHR and you will realize where Obama’s blueprint for the transformation of America originated.

There’s is much more to come from the internationalists, including the right to housing (think Fannie Mae and the glut of foreclosed properties), right to a paid vacation, right to free Internet. Actually, I believe the rest of the Socialist world is just pissed that we continue to fight to the tentacles of nanny-state collectivism. America gave the rest of the world hope that freedom and individual liberty had not succumbed international money-grubbing, power hungry mongrels. Obama and his international handlers have America driving uncontrollably over the cliff of socialism.

Well, the Progressive agenda to paint Tea Party patriots as a threat to America continues, but unfortunately for the author of this inaccurate rant, the case he makes better describes the characteristics of his progressive comrades.

If this author would have any backbone, he would have just come out and said what he means, instead of trying to mislead readers with loose associations of hatred, racism, violence, and ignorance. I’ll highlight the attacks through his associations and I will condense his fluffed up 22 paragraphs into one as to show the intention of this vitriol attack. His premise to portray the Tea Party Movement as immigrant-haters is merely disguised to do what Progressives, Marxist, and Communists do best when they have lost the argument- resort to name calling. I’ll bullet point his vitriol.

Teabaggers are nostalgic for the 1950s and resentful about how Senator Joe McCarthy was disrespected

we’ve all seen articles focusing on the racist signs and actions at Teabagger events

Perhaps the clearest antecedent to the Teabag movement is the American Party, formed in 1845…The core belief of the party was that the United States was being ruined by the influx of “racially inferior” immigrants.

Bohunks or Hunkies were Hungarian and Bohemian laborers…were considered less human, even, than the Polacks.

Micks and Paddys were Irish immigrants. Potato eaters…derided as Wiggers, a contraction of White-n***er, also dismissed as uncivilized

Wops were the Italians…whose presence polluted city ghettos and burdened civic services.

The Micks, Hunkies, and Wops (and other immigrant groups) were called untrainable and racially inferior.

Was the concept of race was different in those days?…But our need to feel better than someone else remained. So what?! Ta Da! The Beaner, Wetback, Latino “race” emerged.

People who benefit from discrimination needed a new target group.

the American Party focused on the perceived “threat” to our culture, our nation, our stability, just as the Teabaggers do today.

today’s Teabaggers don’t know much about socialism, the American Party members didn’t know much about Catholicism, except that they were scared of it and they hated it.

the American Party…People called them, and they proudly called themselves, the Know Nothings

Like today’s Teabaggers, the Know Nothings wanted their Constitutional rights, but got angry when anyone asked them to actually discuss constitutional issues and governance

the Know Nothings engaged in violence, arson, and destroying property of people who disagreed with them…Like today’s Teabaggers, they didn’t want debates. They shouted down other viewpoints and threatened people with violence or death.

One of the driving forces behind the Teabag movement is the desire to remove the illegal Latin invaders

Like the people who found and despised the ‘greasy spaghetti eaters” in eastern city sweat shops, the Teabaggers despise the “beaners”

Like the Know Nothings, the Teabaggers want the easy game of marching, showing off their guns and their hand made signs.

The Progressive Interpretation

The Tea Party movement is like the “American Party” political movement of the mid-1800′s that hated immigrants and created derogatory names to insult them. The Tea Party patriots are “know nothings” who decry socialism in America and are too ignorant to understand what they’re fighting for. Instead of civil debate, they gather with their guns and home made signs to incite violence and race-bait. SInce they can’t debate the facts, Tea Party patriots resort to name calling and physically assaulting the opposition. The outlook looks good for the Progressive cause.

Wow, these clowns really are insane. Good luck with this Socialist/Marxist assault on America. By the way Mr. LA Progressive, we will be sure to include your name when we resurrect the Committees On Un-American activities. At least you got that part right.

Numbers USA reporter Roy Beck was just trying to cover the Washington DC rally attended by many illegal aliens and Marxists last month. What do Progressives/Marxist/Socialist/Communist do when presented with arguments that oppose their positions of dismantling the sovereignty and Constitution of America? Watch these videos, but make sure you have something to throw-up in as you watch the enemies of America quell dissent with their obstructionist tactics. The thuggery of these cheaters, liars, and crooks is reprehensible.

The worst part of this travesty is that the Washington Mall, maintained with taxpayer money, is policed by Park Police thugs who show more respect for the illegal aliens than the reporter who was removed from the ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION RALLY. These people are looking for trouble and the more they continue to allow themselves to be agitated and manipulated, by those who want to destroy America, the frequency in which they will find themselves faced with tens of millions of pissed-off Americas will substantially increase.

Why are these Hispanic ILLEGAL ALIENS being supported by groups like HIAS and the Catholic Church? Without these types of groups that want to destroy America, illegal immigration would be dealt with appropriately by the laws of our land. However, those traitorous groups will continue their assault on America and our Constitutional Republic.

The root of this problem arises from those groups that are “Hate-Brokers” and enemies of the state. Research the Communists subversion of the American Constitution and you will find its toxic activities rooted in Communism that was introduced through unions and social and economic justice groups that insist America was built on a faulty foundation. I say go peddle that progressive bull dung elsewhere.

By the way, hotbeds for Communistic activities are well documented in specific cities such as NYC, Chicago, San Fransisco, St Paul and the institution of Harvard (capital of intelligentsia and elitism movements). Also research The National Committee for Protection of Foreign Born Workers here and here and you’ll be shocked to learn how deep and extensive the rabbit hole really is. The names may have changed, but their game is the same. These traitors gotta go.

Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz (D) apparently believes Americans “just don’t understand” the national mandatory socialized health care system she and her progressives pals shoved down our throats. She explains that Americans are not required to purchase health insurance. No penalties here. It’s merely a tax bracket adjustment. Really?

These Marxist fisters really seem to get off by sticking it to Americans. It’s sad that there are Americas enjoying the rotten fruit born from these abuses and traitorous activities. They gotta go.
