Is about as often as when pigs fly. \u00a0Think of it. \u00a0Can you count three times in the last ten years that the media went 24\/7 coverage about a \u2018controversial\u2019 statement made by liberal democrats? \u00a0I can\u2019t. \u00a0Why not? \u00a0Well obviously. \u00a0Duh. \u00a0It\u2019s propaganda, not news. \u00a0Still, think about it. \u00a0So Hillary Clinton supports jailing traditional Christians<\/a> who haven\u2019t been saved by the Blood of the Left, or quitting their jobs and giving up their livelihoods. \u00a0Pretty controversial position for a potential president of these here United States of America, at least in my opinion. \u00a0And yet nobody has reported it as such.<\/div>\n
But then, when President Obama said mass killings are routine<\/a>, I could see that being controversial, too. \u00a0I could see, if I were a journalist, going out and finding the family member of a shooting victim who would say the death of their loved one wasn\u2019t routine. \u00a0And yet, not only was it not controversial, it has been lauded and celebrated by the same media who have deliberately misrepresented Ben Carson\u2019s statements<\/a> and used them to continue a near week long campaign against the black man who dared to be popular among racists<\/strike> Republicans. \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of course controversial is one of those media labels that are pretty subjective anyway. \u00a0After all, remember when the majority of Americans overwhelmingly opposed gay marriage, yet standing against gay marriage was always reported as \u2018Controversial\u2019? \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Again, does anyone still believe the media? \u00a0About anything? \u00a0Anyone? \u00a0Anyone at all? \u00a0Bueller?\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
