News Organizations Misleading The Public Down The Road To Socialism.

Why Are Extremist Militia Groups Growing in the U.S.?

When yahoo.com reprinted the time.com news article, why did yahoo.com intentionally gave the story a misleading title?

Anyone who clicked on the yahoo.com front page headline link of this story wanting to find out more about an increasing number of extremist militia groups would be greatly disappointed to find out that is NOT what this article is about. This actual article is simply the profile of one extremist militia group.

The fact that the headline doesn't really have much to do with the news article should not be surprising.

The function of news organizations today is no longer to educate the populace about what is happening in the world. The function of news organizations is now to entertain and distract the populace from what is actually happening in the world. The function of news organizations is now to spread lies, rumors and innuendo in support of the lies, rumors and innuendo spewed forth by the immoral, unethical criminal class that currently has a stranglehold over the government.

When the thirteen colonies rebelled from England a few hundred years ago, the colonists had more freedom than we do today. Even back then, the majority of people were willing to put up with whatever repressive laws and taxes the government enacted. However, enough people were willing to die to preserve freedom and prosperity for themselves and their progeny that the colonies did win their freedom. The colonists were able to create a country, that for a short time, did allow all people freedom to live their lives their own way.

Have we reached the point where it is necessary to use our second amendment rights to fight against a repressive government?

More Media Lies.

California governor's race: Jerry Brown steps back in at a time of crisis

The political process appears broken, brought down by partisan polarization and by restrictions approved over the years through ballot initiatives that hamper lawmakers' efforts to forge consensus.

I love it when the media spews the half-truths and lies they present as news. Is it any wonder that the media are losing their effectiveness as a news distribution source.

I suppose if you are a communist, trying to spread the poverty, the above line about "ballot initiative limitations" makes sense and seems honest. However, the rest of us have a different perspective on the "ballot initiatives" the article is talking about.

The truth is, that the ballot initiatives had nothing to do with the lawmakers' efforts to forge consensus. Other than to try to reign in the lawmakers' wasteful spending by limiting taxation. Unfortunately, the limits on taxation didn't limit spending. The California legislature has been running full steam ahead in spending every last dime they can get their hands on. In addition to spending everything they can get their hands on, the California legislature has been borrowing against the future by issuing bonds (collect money now, pay back later). So what is broken, is the lawmakers ability to live within a budget. Something that every body other than a politician learns to live with, or learns to live on the street.

When I catch the media lying in an article like this, I have to wonder how many other lies are spread throughout the article.
