True Journalism is Dead

Tonight ABC World News will be anchored from inside the White House.  They will have a prime-time special “Prescription for America” which is essentially a giant infomercial for nationalized health care.  Then President Obama will have a “town hall” meeting in the White House to further push his agenda.

For the next few days ABC plans to follow-up with a continued push for this proposal.  CBS, NBC, CNN and other stations except Fox are expected to put his proposal in a favorable light and have few, if any, dissenting opinions or proposals.

When the media/journalism becomes bias, it’s no longer true journalism but a giant Op-ed. While we’ve known this for some time, it’s sad when it’s this blatant and people can’t see it for what it is.

Further, NBC has given more than favorable coverage to President Obama. His interviews consist of nothing more than the proverbial “soft ball pitches” that he can slam out of the park. No hard questions.

Of course, this would have nothing to do with the fact that GE owns NBC, and GE is currently seeking billion dollar contracts from the government.

Anti-smoking Bill Encourages More Government Intervention

As if we didn’t need anymore government intervention, the US Senate today passed an anti-smoking bill (by 79-17) seen by many as the most aggressive anti-smoking bill in 45 years.  If passed in the House (and a similar bill, though not identical, recently passed the House) it would give the government power to limit the amount of nicotine in cigarettes as well as to rein in ads and ban candied tobacco products aimed at young people.  President Obama has said he will sign it into law if put on his desk.

For those keeping track, it would be one more area the Obama administration has taken more control over.  So far Obama has managed more government control for:

Banking
Housing
Auto Industry
Tobacco (if the bill passes the House)

And on the horizon is Health Care.  Today Obama placed an August deadline on Congress to get something passed and on his desk to sign.

*****UPDATE*****
The law was passed and signed by President Obama just days ago.

Pepsi Supports and Promotes Gay Lifestyle

UPDATE

The American Family Association has called off its boycott of Pepsi.  See more info here.

———————————————————————

Pepsi has taken a number of actions lately to support and promote the gay lifestyle.  It is sad that Pepsi is refusing to remain neutral in the culture war and instead is aggressively endorsing this lifestyle.

Consider these items:

  • PepsiCo is a member of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. (Ford, McDonald’s and Wal-Mart withdrew from the NGLCC when asked to do so. PepsiCo refused)
  • PepsiCo requires its members to attend diversity training classes promoting the acceptance of homosexuality.
  • PepsiCo financially supports “gay pride parades” in cities across America including New York City, Atlanta, Dallas, Phoenix and Cleveland.
  • PepsiCo gave a total of $1,000,000 to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). HRC gave hundreds of thousands of dollars in an effort to legalize homosexual marriage in California.
  • PepsiCo uses its TV commercials to promote the homosexual lifestyle.Above information taken from the American Family Association.

    • How Does the Government Pay for the Stimulus Bill?

    There are one of three methods the government can take to pay for the Stimulus Bill and other spending bills that have passed.

    Method 1 – The government can raise taxes and thus increase revenue.

    Method 2 – The government can borrow the money.

    Method 3 – The government can print the money.

    There is no such thing as free money.

    As Dr. Adrian Rogers notes, “The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.”
