Here
are a few random items that receive little if any attention much less
any attempt at rigorous investigative efforts by the mainstream media.
1.
While news about gun legislation and the President's budget proposal
fill the airwaves little, if any, attention is given to an event taking
place in a Philadelphia courtroom. The linked blog item provides an
interesting perspective on the matter and offers reasons why it has not
found its way into mainstream media channels. It starts out with a
brief reminder of the media hype that accompanied murders conducted by
serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, and Richard Speck. It
then moves to the ongoing murder trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell who until
his arrest in 2011 ran an abortion clinic. To quote the author:
"Although Gosnell was charged with eight counts of murder, witnesses
have testified he murdered over 100 babies over three decades. If true,
this would rank Gosnell as one of the top five known serial killers
worldwide of the 20th and 21st Centuries by victim count." What is
especially gruesome is that the victims in this case were after-birth
killings. One mother died following her abortion. It is interesting
that the President shed tears following the Sandy Hook massacre (gun
violence you know) but has failed to even mention the Gosnell situation
(killings by abortion apparently don't rise to the level of murder by
guns). The author's reasons why the mainstream media is absent from
duty are right on. Skip over the listings to reach the article. https://newsbusters.org/blogs/jill-stanek/2013/04/11/four-reasons-why-media-isnt-covering-gosnell-mass-murder-trial#main-content And for more gory details go here: http://articles.philly.com/2013-04-12/news/38494337_1_gosnell-employee-tina-baldwin-abortions

Federal officials warned that one of the fall-outs of sequester would
be the furlough of meat inspectors leading to possible outbreaks of
Salmonella and E. coli as well as millions of dollars in economic
losses. Meanwhile the administration is hard at work pursuing
"a 'partnership' with the Mexican government to 'raise awareness' about
food stamps among immigrants from that country." Increasing the costs
of administering and executing an expanded food stamp program for
Mexican immigrants is, apparently, not affected by sequester but food
inspectors for American taxpayers/consumers is. Get it? Another
example of how well the government is looking out for you, the happy
taxpayer. The article ends on this note: "Meanwhile, the USDA
continues to press forward with plans to furlough meat inspectors,
describing it as a necessity of the sequester -- though the department
has eased off a bit on warnings that this could lead to more foodborne
illness, since all meat and poultry will still have to be inspected." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/03/18/dems-preserve-us-mexico-food-stamp-partnership-while-usda-prepares-for-meat/

Before and after each election we hear all kinds of things about
electoral misconduct. Voter fraud and gerrymandering are two that rise
to the top of debate. The current Justice Department pays little
attention to voter fraud issues because to do so would highlight that a
goodly percentage of such behavior falls to the Democrat side of the
ledger. They do not want to go there so they don't. By the way, I by
no means absolve Republicans who engage in similar tactics. This item,
however, deals with gerrymandering. Take note of this quote from the
next link. "While Democrats have attacked Republicans for allegedly
gerrymandering their way to a congressional majority in 2012, evidence
suggests that Democrats may have behaved in precisely the same way. The
Washington Free Beacon obtained records
this Friday of emails sent between Democratic party officials
suggesting that Florida had been deliberately gerrymandered along racial
lines to maximize the chance of Democratic success in the state,
possibly even with the approval of DNC Chairwoman Debbie
Wasserman-Schultz." Likewise, consider this quote: "Florida’s
legislative leaders appear to have authorized their staff to use private
email accounts, personal “dropboxes” and to engage in “brainstorming
meetings” with Republican Party of Florida consultants in attempting to
draw favorable political districts, despite a constitutional ban on such
coordination.[...]" Now tell me that our elected "public" officials
and election oversight officials are all about honesty and integrity in
government and its electoral process. Such is the state of our "entire"
political system. It is long overdue a total overhaul. Why hasn't the
media made this a priority for investigation in support of the public
interest? http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/04/07/revealed-alleged-democratic-scheme-to-gerrymander-florida/

And this one will make you want to scream even louder. My
observation? What self-righteous hypocrisy resides within the bowels of
the progressive movie making industry - routinely rewriting history so
that it fits within their secular/humanist world view. Most of us would
call this behavior pure propaganda. http://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/2013/04/07/the-4-most-outrageous-lies-in-robert-redfords-new-pro-terrorist-movie/?singlepage=true
