Hi,
EGYPT!!!
We all followed the revolution that the Media helped along until the Media got bashed by ordinary citizens commanded by either the establishment or the rioters or both.
Considering the beating and raping an ill-advised female reporter from CBS got from a supposedly celebratory revolutionary crowd, it's a toss up which side objected to media interference the most. The reporter had been removed from Egypt after complaints and reentered the country that day, bragging to an associate who called her crazy, that she was without fear. Whether this was with or without CBS approval is not clear. What is clear; she was not wanted there, refused to be deterred, and placed herself in the danger. Tragic but arrogant. Arrogance is certainly an apt term for the media's attitude now.
Economically, we are already suffering the former unrest in the Middle East as gasoline prices rise, since we are determined to BUY Middle Eastern FRIENDSHIP????by buying their oil instead of using what already exists in our own country. Egypt's lack of government affects the ongoing relations with Israel and with whatever type of government comes out of the revolution. There is no guarantee of any new power's friendliness to us or Israel which could mean a new Middle Eastern war. I hope it becomes the government of Egypt's choice but there is no guarantee in revolution. Cost to us, of course; tax dollars.
The media is now in the stage of MAKING NEWS NOT JUST COVERING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! DANGER. WE don't elect the Media and we can't interfere with them so our input to their actions has to be through our knowledge of those actions.
When they become overbearing on any subject: revolution, health, and spreading fear with government bias, national security, even the weather's dramatic issues; we have to become constant in our ridicule of their methods before they and they alone are in a position to take away what little freedom we have left. REMEMBER, MEDIA IS ACTUALLY THE BIG MONEY THAT everyone is always talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY'RE NOT IN THIS "FOR NO LIGHT COURTIN", FOLKS. "THEYS" GOLD IN THEM THERE RIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not a some to all blog. There are lots of reporters both on TV and in the other news associations that MEAN REALLY WELL. (remember that is not necessarily a compliment on my part) but there is also a large executive group controlling media to MAKE MONEY. Nothing would please them more than to see U.S. citizens (who have a right to peacefully gather and protest) actually take to our streets to ruthlessly and violently take down our government--Democrat or Republican--because the news coverage would be sensationalized.
Witness what happened in Wisconsin with the teacher unions this week. The amount of press coverage they received in a bankrupt state made the teachers seem greedy and the union look corrupt. Or from a different point of view, the Governor seemed high-handed and unsympathetic to the teacher's low salary needs. Certainly, not a fair assessment of their state or those involved. A headline in today's local paper claimed there are union conflicts all over the United States. The article concentrated on Wisconsin and ONLY speculation about Florida and other states. No other street conflict mention AT ALL. But the media obviously hopes a revolutionary virus is catching and that we citizens will catch it and give them lots of "news making MONEY"?????!!!!!!!!!
We are very fortunate at present to live under a very stable Constitution which provides PLENTY OF VOTER CHANGES at regular elections. Because of election laws and other constitutional avenues, Americans are in a constant position of being able to dump corrupt officials or make elective changes where necessary. Our 2010 election proved that to be true and this keeps our country more stable than most. We cannot allow an over-active media TO STIR UP news making events that lead our citizens down paths that are not to their advantage.
VIOLENT UNREST is not a sign of freedom but is a sign of BAD GOVERNMENT LAID ON BAD FOUNDATIONS with no other option for the people to remedy.
Although we glorify our original revolution in America, remember it happened BEFORE our forefathers were wise enough to LAY A GOOD FOUNDATION to GOVERNMENT in our country. Our Constitution provides the strong TRIPARTITE form of government by election to rational terms of office for the elected.
Our Constitution provides the deep cement foundation on which our national house is built. DON'T LET THE MEDIA CONVINCE YOU THAT WE NEED ANOTHER REVOLUTION.
IT IS NOT TRUE!!!!!!! WE SIMPLY NEED TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITIES OFFERED TO US BY OUR CONSTITUTION!!!!!!!!!
Standing in line to vote in 2008, someone overheard a heavily accented man, who was a NEW AMERICAN say to the person behind him, "What a great country. Anywhere else in the world, an election like this would have required a REVOLUTION! WHAT A GREAT COUNTRY!" That really says it all, doesn't it???????????
And when we decided to change directions, we did so in 2010 and we have 2012 to look forward to changing even more. AREN'T WE FORTUNATE!!!!!!!!!!REMEMBER OUR FREEDOMS!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers, Connie
