Conspiracy of Silence

I would like to suggest that the mainstream news media, not just in this country but in Western Europe, has engaged in a conspiracy of silence for political purposes. Before you dismiss my assertion as the paranoid blabbering of an alarmist, consider the following:

*Stories about President Bush's monumental success in his policy toward North Korea have been few and far between. Never are the words 'success' and 'North Korea' and 'Bush' mentioned in the same articles or clips. This is in spite of the fact that everyone knows that Clinton was duped, bilateral talks failed, and including the Chinese on any negotiations with North Korea is vital. Where are the stories about this? They are almost non-existent with the exception of a few paragraphs buried somewhere between ads for autos and insurance on page C-12.

*You won't read or hear about the volatile situation in France. It is worse now than when it all started last year. 2,500 cops have been injured since Jan. 1, 2006 in France alone. Muslim Jihadists are setting the streets ablaze and attacking cops. Yet, where are the stories on the front page of the New York Times? How about CBS Evening News' lead story? I will tell you why precious little is being reported. To do so plays right into the hands of President Bush, whom they want to come limping out of the midterm elections. Terrorism is growing all across Europe, not just in France. To acknowledge this is to hamstring Democrats, liberals, and others who wish to capitalize on Bush's perceived failures in Iraq.

*Where is the good economic news? Every single report I have seen or read states,
'Americans are nervous.' Americans are always nervous about their economic future. That is besides the point. Where are the stories on this very strong economy? You won't find them unless they are presented with an obvious anti-Bush bias, complete with dire warnings that although unemployment is as low as we will ever see it, Americans are 'worried it won't last.' Although inflation is way down, Americans are 'worried it may go back up.' Although the stock market has reached record levels, Americans are 'afraid it will crash.' So? This is part of our national psyche. It has nothing to do with the strong economy we now have. But you won't hear this good news reported at face value in the mainstream media.

Now that we have looked at a few examples of what you won't hear, let me tell you what you WILL hear. Michael J. Fox all over the airwaves talking about how Bush is to blame for the lack of stem cell research, for one. Although I can fully sympathize with Fox's plight, the statement he is making is a lie. This administration has funded stem cell research at an unprecedented level. I am sure that neither Fox, nor the DNC, nor the media, want you to know that, except in passing.

You will also read the New York Times endorsing Lamont for the Senate in Connecticut. The Times is deathly afraid of Joe Lieberman winning another term since he has been a vocal advocate for the fight against terrorists. We certainly can't have an Independent Thinker who votes his conscience in office. That would foil the Democrat/George Soros/Bash-America-First/Leftwing Media plan to take over Congress and basically roll over and play dead in the face of terrorism.

Like Jacques Chirac who of late looks like a whipped puppy dog who doesn't know what to do about the massive unrest in France, this gang of the weak and incompetent that wishes to be in control of our government will probably wait until Muslim Jihadist are rioting in OUR streets before they start ringing their hands like Chirac wondering what to do.

Oh, and by the way, it wasn't by accident that the New York Times is running a front-page pictorial today, one week before the election, on soldiers being buried at Arlington.

Has George Soros been meeting with the Times along with the major network news brass?
