[Texgreen] Re: PLEASE WATCH - habeus corpus

[Craig MIller]

Excellent speech!  

Though it tears me, for where it comes from.  

Words this nation needs to hear ...  But why does this come only from a giant
media conglomerate?  Commentary spouted at primetime not for the purpose of
conveying unbiased news and facts ...   

Entertainment purposes?  To engage and stir the viewer?  For what purpose does
the media spew, these days?

Fox news and CNN/CNBC continue the political battles of the Left and Right. 
Powerful commentary from celebrity anchors who deliver the news.  Self righteous
and self proclaimed experts of every topic; the norm these days across
television and cable channels.  Speeches written by teams of writers.  To what
end?  For what purpose?  Can we not digest the world correctly from their
portrayall of the facts?  Or is it cheaper and easier for them to just give us
the conclusions, drawn up and pre-digested for us?

Can they not find life-long experts in the career field which is the topic of
discussion?  Is there aversion to hard, back-breaking work to bring about
indepth, unbiased reports?  Or has the temptation grown too large for the
for-profit corporate media machines to resist?  Is media tired of viewing from
the sidelines?  Is the power of influence too great?  The temptation to change a
word here or splice there - the consequence is very real.  And they know the
power to sway public opinion that they hold.   The edit of rebuttal ... the art
of semantics.

Yet this is a paramount, ethical speech worthy of wide spread viewing.  Strong
words no political leaders seem to speak.  America's pacified public desperately
needs to hear of this country's course, and with authority.  

So it tears me ...  

I cautiously love to hear media commentary championing for civil rights,
justice, and equality.  But dispize when it spews hatred and fear.  

Right or wrong, the media giants have entered the ring.  They are no longer
innocent bi-standers.  I contend they always have been part of the playing
field.  But like referees on a football field, they use to try to get out of the
way.  

Now they, with all their money and all their influence, ARE the news.  "Look at
me, I have something to say"  It's political, it's opinionated, and it's wrong. 
But it's saying what so desperately needs to be said ... these days of late.  As
the media Left has decided to be unabashed and vocal in countering the media
Right.  

This has become primetime news.  

We could fault media for not pursuing facts with priority and sanctity.  
But we the public, do not pursue peace and serenity, but desire the next big
thing.  A sequence of increasingly arousing experiences.  More sensational and
dramatic than the last.  No wonder the world, our planetary condition, is
beginning to emulate this pursuit.  

Peace sells, but who's buying.
