The media has been falling all over themselves with the dying of Ted Kennedy. The media madness is all over- local, national, conservative or liberal media outlets. Even ESPN had a blurb on it's web site this morning. Rarely did they mention Kennedy running away and letting a girl drown, (maybe a paragraph), his womanizing, his drunken escapades and other scandals? That's all well and good. If it makes the media feel important and good, fine.
Do you think they will act the same way when a conservative senator dies? Orrin Hatch, Jim Inhof, Jon Kyle- will they rate more than a 5 minute story in the national media and a few minutes more in their local media? You know the answer.
How did the media react when Strom Thurmond died? Jesse Helms? They ripped Jesse Helms and he never killed anyone.
Again, the media acts like liberal lap dogs that they are. They have proven once again they cannot be trusted to be fair and balanced. It is like the brothels in Nevada and the media are the paying customers.

Helms and Thurmond were horrible racists, and deserved no respect. Kennedy on the other hand did things or people, not to people.
ReplyDeleteFor people. F key sticking.
ReplyDeleteUmm, Keith, killing a girl isn't doing anything to people? Being a womanizer isn't doing something to people?
ReplyDeleteCome on, you are more honest than that.
No one is defending Kennedy, but comparing him to those two cracker confederates is just out of this galaxy. The assumption that he murdered Mary Jo is an assumption, there is that court of law thing. She can't be brought back but he went on to do some really great things for this country.
ReplyDeleteMight I say your are better behaved for some reason on your own site.
And Keith, you are better behaved here as well. I treat people the way I am treated. I really am not a raving lunatic.
ReplyDeleteThen we do have that place.
