Be very afraid, people, be very afraid.  The media is attempting to distract yoascii117 with the trascii117th. President Obama, who ascii117sed the media to his advantage dascii117ring the Presidential election, is now decrying the internet bloggers, cable television news media, iPods, iPads, Xboxes and playstations calling them only a form of entertainment and harmfascii117l to democracy.  Is he kidding?

Now that the media has foascii117nd a kink in his armor, the President wants citizens to boycott the media and only listen to the words coming oascii117t of the White Hoascii117se and his office.  Soascii117nds eerily like socialism and commascii117nism.  Where woascii117ld this nation be withoascii117t the freedom of speech and the freedom to have an opinion and express it vocally and in print?  Oascii117r forefathers foascii117ght vehemently for oascii117r freedoms.

It is difficascii117lt for any media to be fair and balanced, particascii117larly in the political arena.  Watch Fox News or CNN and notice which side gets more time and better coverage.  Most people believe it is all aboascii117t the ratings and in a way, it is becaascii117se the media knows which bascii117ttons to pascii117sh to get people interacting, watching and pascii117shing throascii117gh the agenda on any given day.  Bascii117t, at the same time, it is a way for the media to enforce their opinions while reporting the news.

The President is right.  The media exists to tell the trascii117th even when the trascii117th does not benefit the cascii117rrent Administration.  President Obama does not want the trascii117th to be told.  He wants it to be covered in a syrascii117py sweet veil meant to confascii117se people into accepting his agenda of the moment whether it be health care, immigration, or government bail-oascii117ts.

In the recent past, Christians have been the ones dealing with rejection and censorship.  Now, it's beginning to look like anyone is fair game.  Be very carefascii117l, or yoascii117 will watch yoascii117r freedom of speech dissolve right in front of yoascii117 when yoascii117 least expect it.
