When One Lies Down with Dogs, Expect Fleas

When One Lies Down with Dogs, Expect Fleas

We’ve seen it before, countless times before, when rapacious governments seize control of a nation’s media outlets–the daily press, television, radio, periodicals.

It’s SOP for repressive regimes such as those in the U.S.S.R., Nazi Germany, and most recently in Hugo Chavez’ Venezuela, to seize media outlets to insure they pump out only state-sponsored propaganda.

It’s a very effective tactic for totalitarians. It keeps supporters content, it squelches opponents, and it makes things quite comfy for despots with the rabble kept in the dark over what’s really going on in their countries.

The United States has never had the misfortune of suffering a state-controlled, state-run media. Until now.

I should qualify that statement.

America’s mass media is not actually controlled by the leftist government of Barack Hussein Obama and his cohorts.

Rather, in a unique, historical twist, our media have willingly surrendered their journalistic integrity and abandoned their moral, ethical responsibility to objectively report the news. They have of their own volition become the lackeys of Obama.

In a sense, that’s even worse than government seizures.

One problem is, our mass media is no pretty woman anymore. The poor things are just being used and they crave attention and recognition, in addition to appreciating the opportunity to spout their own bile. Fewer and fewer people are buying their papers and magazines, or buying into the slanted tripe served up on television “news.”

And with good reason. Examples of the media surrender are innumerable.

They range from the failure to report on Obama’s numerous flubs during his campaign for the presidency, to the overkill of dozens of Newsweek covers over the course of a year, to the conscious misrepresentations of recent events, to not pointing out that when Rep. Joe Wilson called Obama a liar Obama was lying, to the New York Times burying a story showing is hero’s close ties with the radical ACORN: http://bit.ly/33tm3.

Other recent instances of journalistic prostitution include:

. The failure of the print media such as the Times and the Washington Post to review Mark Levin’s best seller, Liberty and Tyranny, even after it sold over a million copies, http://bit.ly/18B5Us,

. The Post ignoring its own poll since it showed that the more Americans understood Obamacare the more they disliked it, http://tinyurl.com/qyrce7.

. ABC and NBC refusing to air an ad criticizing that reform while falling all over themselves to give Obama airtime to pitch his plot: http://bit.ly/WguyC.

. And the mass of the mass media vastly undercounting the turnout for last Saturday’s huge anti-Obama march in Washington: http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1216.


It’s gut wrenching, sort of, to watch former stalwarts of American culture, such as the “old, grey lady,” fall by the wayside. Then, again, when journalistic ho’s, just like other ho’s, surrender their integrity, well, they get their due comeuppance.

By the grace of God, . . .
