TALES FROM THE 4TH ESTATE
JOHN DICKINSON WHO IS THE POLITICAL NEWS DIRECTOR FOR CBS NEWS HAS GIVEN SOME ASTOUNDING POLITICAL ADVICE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR HIS SECOND TERM. IN AN ARTICLE FOR SLATE.COM HE WRITES THE FOLLOWING REGARDING THE REPUBLICANS
“Obama’s only remaining option is to pulverize. Whether he succeeds in passing legislation or not, given his ambitions, his goal should be to delegitimize his opponents. Through a series of clarifying fights over controversial issues, he can force Republicans to either side with their coalition's most extreme elements or cause a rift in the party that will leave it, at least temporarily, in disarray.”
HE FURTHER STATES :
"That fight will be loud and in the open—and in the short term unproductive. The president can stir up these fights by poking the fear among Republicans that the party is becoming defined by its most extreme elements, which will in turn provoke fear among the most faithful conservatives that weak-willed conservatives are bending to the popular mood.”
THIS FROM THE NETWORK WHO ONCE GAVE US EDWARD R. MURROW, DOUGLAS EDWARDS AND ERIC SEVARIDE. PERHAPS HOWEVER WE SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED SINCE DICKINSONS BOSS LES MOONVES, SAID ONLY LAST YEAR AT AN OBAMA FUNDRAISER "ultimately journalism has changed … partisanship is very much a part of journalism now."

STILL IT IS STUNNING FOR THIS OR ANY JOURNALIST TO BE GIVING THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES POLITICAL ADVICE ON HOW TO DESTROY THE OPPOSITION PARTY. IS DICKINSON AND BY EXTENTION CBS NEWS, ADVOCATING FOR EITHER ONE PARTY RULE OR ONE MAN RULE?
WHILE CBS AND OTHERS WERE BUSY DOING THINGS LIKE THIS AND FRETTING ABOUT MANTI T’EO’S FICTIONAL GIRLFRIEND HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT STORIES THEY WERE NOT COVERING IN ANY DETAIL;
MANY OF THE VERY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BAN LEGAL GUNS FOR LAW ABIDING CITIZENS ALSO WANT TO BAN POLICE FROM USING STOP AND FRISK PROCEDURES TO TAKE AWAY ILLEGAL GUNS FROM CRIMINALS AND GANGBANGERS!
THE COST OF HEALTH CARE PREMIUMS, DEDUCTIBLES AND CO-PAYS ARE GOING UP NOT DOWN AS PROMISED!
WHAT THE PRESS AND POLITICIANS CALLS ASSAULT WEAPONS… WHICH ARE AUTOMATIC WEAPONS… ARE NOT ASSAULT WEAPONS AT ALL!
ALMOST EVRY MIDDLECLASS PERSONS PAYCHECK WAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED BY TAX INCREASES AS OF JAN 1 2013!

WE ARE TOLD THAT AL QUAEDA IS DEAD ONLY TO FIND THAT ONE OF IT’S FRANCHISES CONTROLS TERRORITY IN NORTH AFRICA LARGER THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS!
THE PRESIDENT PROMISED TO CUT THE DEFICIT AND DEBT BY MAKING $3 OF SPENDING CUTS FOR EVERY $1 OF NEW REVENUE … NOW THE “NEW” BALANCED WAY TO DO THIS MUST BE ONLY WITH NEW TAXES WHICH WILL AGAIN AFFECT THE MIDDLE CLASS!
HE ASSERTS THAT HE CAN ACT UNILATERALLY TO STOP THE SALE OF “ASSAULT WEAPONS” BUT REFUSES TO TELL THE NATION WHY HIS ADMINISTRATION UNILATERALLY SOLD WEAPONS THAT ARE WORSE TO THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS !

THE HEAD OF THE NRA PROPOSES THAT SCHOOLS SHOULD HAVE TRAINED ARMED GUARDS AND IS CALLED THE CRAZIEST MAN ON EARTH.AND THEN WE FIND OUT IT HAS BEEN DONE FOR YEARS ACROSS THE NATION!
AND THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG!
THE MODERN MAINSTREAM PRESS AND MEDIA HAVE BECOME PART OF THE REASON FOR THE GREAT DIVIDE THAT CURSES THIS NATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY. WHEN THEY PURPORT TO INFORMS US OF THE GREAT EVENTS OF OUR TIME, IT IS AS MACBETH PUT IT NOTHING MORE THAN"a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
Signifying nothing.”
