I'm thoroughly disgusted with the media. I've never had a fondness for mainstream media, but feel my once tolerant demeanor has been challenged -- pushed to a defensive position.
The media has chosen to keep the details of an abhorrent US government debacle concealed from the public. Details of the attack that took place on the American Embassy in Benghazi on September 11, 2012 have been withheld by otherwise quick-to-report-'everything' journalists and reporters. I feel this is a classic case of the (liberal) media siding with the current US Administration in an attempt to conceal the truth from the American people. Lives were lost -- soldiers with families, and government officials. We - the people - deserve the truth.
Media is not the 'fourth arm of the government'. It's the 'fourth arm of the liberal government', and 'repressor' of the conservative movement; quite the contrary to it's 'ethical' foundations. Mainstream media is saturated by a leftist liberal mindset and agenda -- quite the contrary to the oldest ethical principles: the Golden Rule and Golden Mean. Virtues such as "doing unto to others as you would have done unto you", and "finding a balance between two extremes" no longer seem relevant. Money and power seem to outweigh honesty and integrity.
Balance? What's that? What's it matter when the 'powers that be' will cover up and lie for you? Accountability? To whom?
