What would happen if a white president told the predominantly black opposing political party, with reference to the Political Bus, "They can ride in the back." I am sure that Detroit, L.A., Chicago, and Atlanta would erupt into riots.
If a Christian talk-show host called a Jewish Liberal politician a bitch and basically called her out, too. All of New York and Hollywood would be aghast with shouts of bigotry. (And people would be storming off of their own talk shows in protest. The irony in this one is pretty fucking thick, huh?)
I am still a little behind the curve on events this week, but these are two examples of the rampant double standards set by the media at present. As if the media should be setting standards of any kind! Even my one-beloved Fox News, my island, my rock, is generally clogged to the brim with inane gossip and celebrity worship. Or, the guests are so decidedly Ultra-Conservative that you can take them no more seriously than the idiots in power now with their Socialist, P.C. bullshit.
The government should exist to protect its people from Foreign and Domestic threats to Personal Liberty. The media should exist to inform the people with unbiased factual reporting. Am I an idealist? Clearly.
The current state of governance and media is nothing more than an inseparable quagmire of bilious rhetoric; bids for personal power; self-aggrandizing, self-absorbed reporting; self-aggrandizing, self-absorbed, politically correct, delusional declarations from Hollywood actors and directors (which is very often inseparable from reporting in media)...Politico-Social Vomit.
