TODAY'S JACKAL

EVERY DOG WILL HAVE HIS DAY; TODAY IS THE DAY OF THE JACKAL, THE NEWS MEDIA. THEIR WORK OF BIASED REPORTING SERVES THE PURPOSE OF THE ENEMIES OF AMERICA. ANY OPPORTUNITY TO BASH PRESIDENT BUSH OR THE USA IS FAIR GAME. ARRANT PANDERING TO SPOILED ‘VICTIMS’ WHO ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST OUR COUNTRY OFFERS IS THEIR SPECIALTY.

FIRST LET'S START WITH A FEW OF EXAMPLES OF SOFTIES THAT THE MEDIA THINKS REPRESENT AMERICA. WEARERS OF iPODS IN RUNNING SHOES. PURCHASERS OF ONE SERVING COFFEE PODS COSTING TEN TIMES THE COST OF A REGULAR CUP OF JAVA. A MOTHER WHO SERVES ORGANIC BABY FOOD, JARRED, CHILLED OR FROZEN. A SWIMMER WHO USES BABY OIL WHEN SHOWERING BECAUSE SOAP AND A WASHCLOTH "CAN BE ROUGH ON SKIN."

NEXT LET'S ADMIT THAT THE MEDIA SUPPORTS ACTIVISTS, POLITICIANS, LAWYERS AND ENTERTAINERS WITH THEIR LIBERAL AGENDAS. TRY THE NON-SMOKING BANS IN PUBLIC PLACES, BUSINESSES AND HOTELS. WHEN A SPOKESPERSON FOR NON-SMOKING REGULATIONS CLAIMS THAT IT IS "COMMON SENSE," SHE DOESN'T FOOL ME. LIBERALS WHO PREACH FREE SPEECH AND DEMOCRACY HAVE GOALS THAT ARE TANTAMOUNT TO DICTATORSHIP.
I CONTINUE WITH THE JACKALS WHOSE SELECTIVE COVERAGE OF NEWS REPRESENTS ANTI-AMERICANISM AT ITS WORST. CNN ASKED A YOUNG WOMAN WHO WAS BEING ‘RESCUED' FROM LEBANON DUE TO THE PRESENT WAR THERE WITH ISRAEL. SHE WHINED ABOUT THE SLOWNESS OF HER RESCUE AND INCONVENIENCES SHE ENDURED. HOW COULD SHE EXPECT ANYTHING BETTER "AFTER KATRINA?" SHE SAID. SHE WAS CHOSEN FOR THE INTERVIEW OVER A HOST OF AMERICANS, PATIENT WITH AND GRATEFUL FOR THEIR EXTRACTIONS. THE REPORTER'S CHOICE IS ESPECIALLY UPSETTING BECAUSE IT HIGHLIGHTS A VICTIM, A SPOILED BRAT, WHO MANAGED TO FINANCE HER OWN ENTRANCE INTO LEBANON, FOR WHATEVER REASON, BUT WHEN THE GOING GOT TOUGH, EXPECTED SOMEONE ELSE TO GET HER OUT. THE MEDIA'S BIASED COVERAGE OF KATRINA WAS PATHETIC. THIS INTERVIEW WAS A MORE PATHETIC REPRISAL OF PREJUDICE.

SUN TZU, THE CHINESE WRITER ON WAR, CAUTIONED, "KNOW YOUR ENEMY." IT'S SCARY WHEN THE ENEMY ARE OUR 5TH COLUMN WITHIN THE FREE PRESS.
