American media -- truck stop whores for the left.

The modern left has its roots in the political phenomenon of the 1930s when progressivism, communism, fascism, socialism, and Nazism coalesced under the common flag of centralized governments and an ideology of collectivism. This worldwide movement went largely unchallenged ideologically until the reassertion of classical liberalism through the American conservative movement in the 1950s. . . .

Any shred of leftist intellectual honesty and journalistic curiosity was obliterated once Senator Obama threw his hat into the ring as a presidential candidate. The “mainstream” media whored out its last shred of credibility in a non-stop sycophantic obsession with this man of mystery. Having no desire to investigate clear connections to domestic terrorist William Ayers or Obama’s twenty-year relationship with black nationalist Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the media concentrated on defending the idea of “hope and change” personified.

When faced with some aspect of the behavior of our media (or leftist in general), I often reflect on how every American soldier killed in battle between 1945 and the present was killed by a weapon fired by, manufactured by, designed by, controlled by, purchased by, transported by, or financed by communists. Billions and billions of dollars have been expended to fight communism. Our domestic politics have been polluted by communist money and subversion.

But this has no significance to our media. They have no sense of "us." There is nothing of "ours" that can be violated by any hostile actor or creed.

How else to explain the legacy media's complete, utter indifference to Obama's mentor Davis being a communist; his father being a communist; his buddy Ayers being a communist and a terrorist; his mother, grandfather and grandmother being leftists; and Obama's referring to himself as a "progressive"?

Answer: You can't. The legacy media couldn't care less if a candidate for one of the highest political offices in the land grew up and lived large portions of his life with communists and radical leftists. They are simply indifferent to the fact that candidates for high office are fundamentally at odds with the political heritage of this country. Because they too are indifferent to it, if not at odds with it.
