Monday morning, August 1, 2011, the little piss ants at ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC are still spouting their drivel. They couldn’t have it their way which was Obama’s way. Sycophantic worship, in other words, kissing Obama’s backside, just irked the hell out of the people represented by the Tea Party Movement. It also irked stand -up-and-tell it-like-it-is conservatives, Joe Walsh who gets the last, I-told-you-so.

The left wing media really have nothing but a contract to gush forth political sewage and no honest content. Sissy Smarmy Chrissy Matthews tried his damnedest to make a fool out of Joe Walsh. He failed! Joe is one hell of a lot smarter than you are sonny.

The left side just does not do the job they should be doing, learn the truth, report the truth and be prepared to back it up. Your lying, hyperbole and smoke and mirrors just ain’t gonna cut it.

Guys like Bob Schieffer who got his first big break in Dallas when JFK was assassinated. Though he was the night police reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, he posed as a detective in order to get a room with a telephone to relay information he was getting from pool reporters and the mother of Lee Harvey Oswald. He is still the same arrogant jerk.

He insisted “some people say that the Republican Party has been held hostage by the Tea Party” and he discerned “some truth” in an allegation he saw on Facebook that allowing House freshmen “‘to control this debate’” is “‘like letting the teenager in the family run the family budget.’” quoted from Media Research Center’s Cyber Alert, Monday, August 1, 2011.

Christiane Amanpour bemoaned the president’s move to the center and the Republican position. Too bad, Obama never put for the a plan only a request for a “balanced approach” whatever that is supposed to mean.

Frankly, I am sick and tired of the idiots who purport that they “report” the news. Again credit to Media Research Center, CNN’s “Reliable Sources, Chrystia Freeland, digital editor for Thomson Reuters: Despite much evidence to the contrary, she maintained "mainstream journalism is averse to making judgments,” then asserted: “Mainstream journalists are particularly scared of being labeled as liberal.”

I grew up in a small town in Northern Montana, small but it had a fine weekly newspaper, owned, partially written, published edited and often linotype set by Frank A. Whetstone. Mr. Whetstone was a good friend to my High School English Teacher, Babette Millspaugh and provided her with several copies of the weekly edition which came out early Friday morning.

Miss Millspaugh emphasized Mr. Whetstones values regarding telling a story. First, it is true to the best of the teller’s knowledge and research and it is told by providing the Who, What, When, Where, How and, if possible Why. A story teller is actually a reporter. Then there is the practitioner of Journalism, defined as, “the occupation of reporting, writing, editing, photographing, or broadcasting news or of conducting any news organization as a business. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/journalism

The term has come to include the Radio and Television versions.

Ms. Freeland made note of a most critical aspect of good journalism, Do not try to judge; leave that to the reader. Being judgmental seems to be the first criterion of the loudest mouths and the most vituperative or snide of the left. Namely Matthews, Stephanpoulos, Schieffer, Sawyer, Couric, Romans, Chris Wragge and King who complimented O for moving to dead center.
