The Fourth Estate is fatally wounded and is dying a slow death!
November 6, 2007
For all you folks who don’t know who or what The Fourth Estate is.. I’ll tell you. It’s the Press, the paper printed matter. The Fourth Estate was suppose to keep all the enemies of freedom exposed. It was supposed to alert us all to really bad government. Now it’s like a dirty rag on the kitchen sink. It’s smells and only good for pushing dirt around the surface of our lives. I have read several articles about how the circulations are dropping at alarming rates. 8% percent in some cities. There are all kinds of reasons they are giving but none are saying how they have lost the confidence of the American people. I used to take USA Today until I became doubtful of their facts and their political stances on issues. So I quit them and just took the local paper. That didn’t last long. I live in Mormon country and believe it effects the news. So I quickly had to discontinue service. I don’t know when the News Business decided that they were responsible for misinforming us and trying to enforce a certain political stance. They are the dinosaurs of a rotten political system that’s soul purpose was to make sure the rich and powerful stayed that way. They have been falling from grace for years now. Now that people can get news from other sources and if they believe they aren’t getting the truth they move on. CNN is not the printed press but it has fallen from grace because he doesn’t deliver news anymore. It’s more or less just news of no importance. They don’t try to lie. They just don’t report any news. There was probably 10 minutes of the Iraq on CNN last week. Probably about 3 hours about Britany Spears. Now that foreign companies own our news papers we can no longer believe what they are printing. Murdock has no interest in America, just making money and with the value of our dollars he has made a really bad investment. It’s a shame that the liberal press will not be around to spout all that Republican nonsense and lies. The liberal Press has always been one of those big lies that the conservative have try to pass as truth. It is now all those liberal blogs. Guilty! The times they are a changing. America has some real hard times a comming thanks to the neglect of the powers that be. I’m not just talking about George Bush either. Some people that are far more important than the Bush boy are in control of this country’s future. To bad a dying press would be there to help them out. It’s like everything else the Republicans have touched it has died a slow death.
