New Today

A friend let me know about a website to checkout.
www.mediamatters.com
I only had a brief moment to glance at it last night but was quite interested in it’s content. The producers seem to make sure they do extensive research on their subjects. They clearly articulate how the medis guides our countries thoughts as much as the government does. And possibly in conjuction with our government.

As I’ve seen this week, and will discuss later, media is being censored by our government. We must be diligent in our efforts to keep tabs on our government. Journalists must realize they can’t just sit in press cores and ask silly questions. They have to do under cover research. It is their job to expose people. It is their job to find out what’s behind the story.

Why hasn’t the media continued to pursue the Rove case. It was plastered over the papers for weeks then disappeared. We can’t let something like that be left to the government to decide. We must force their hand.

Indifference will be our death.

The constitution and the forefathers of our country designed a government that can evolve. I am a proud American that thinks our government model is the best ever created but it does require us to be diligent and active in the process. It allows us to control our officials but only if we participate. And not just at election time. With each liberty we ignore with lose our rights.
