News Media Astray

Print & Media News Failing Democracy

What has happened to our hard and dogged questioning-media? Have our reporters and editors been led astray by the ubiquitous, elitist-controlled, editorial policies that continue to promote truth-hiding? Have our watchdogs become sensationalist in the name of capitalism and greed? Since when do American journalist fear treading into dark territory in order to uncover the truth? Why does our media and major news periodicals continue to help subjugate and subvert sound US governance and policy making with their application of  "political correctness" and corporate subservience?

What you don't see on the news should scare you! Why, because someone is hiding the truth by not exploring it and that's affecting your education on the issues, which, in turn, effects your decision making. For example:

Did you know that most major news media in the US is owned by foreigners or large international corporations that have a vested interest in maintaining censorship (through the editorial process) on many aspects and issues in both the US and abroad that might ill-effect the other companies they own and their profits?

It's not good business to report something negative about a company you own?

Ever wonder why some news media use the word "immigrant" instead of the correct word "illegal alien" used by the US government? Ever wonder what agenda that and other word substitutions promotes through subversion of accurate reporting?

Where have the solid, investigative, hard facts, and hard-hitting "behind-the-scene" news stories gone that used to expose the truth and thereby enlightened US citizens---where is the substantive news information that would otherwise enable citizens to make good citizenship decisions? To better press their leaders for positive change?

What happened to the reporters who stood up to their bosses and ran the pieces they were forbidden to run so they could stand up for what was right! 

The undermining of America from within must be stopped. Our news media and those in their ranks who submit to their subversive editorial demands that promote hidden agendas has got to stop. We need our press back at work asking the tough things, exposing the facts, even when it means their own mega news corporation has to take a hit elsewhere in the company.

As A Reporter

Ask yourself this? Have I dug into the facts and told the story in such a way that has exposed the truth as clearly as possible, without editorializing (unless your focus is strictly editorial writing/news) so that Americans can be educated to the real facts and therefore make sound decisions on behalf of our collective government and governance? If the answer is yes, move forward. If the answer is no, stop and revise until the answer is yes. 

We need reporters who give us the whole truth on the key facts that we need to know and who focus on the things that should have priority for Americans. 

Patriot Union's "News Reporting Priority Scale" (NRPS) For National / International Reporting

Let's prioritize the issues in the order of most importance: 

1. Catastrophic events internationally and domestically.

2. Discussions and issues of war, genocide, gross human rights violations.

3. Aspects effecting or possibly effecting US security in all its forms (safety, economic, sovereignty, health, etc.).

4. Top issue on the minds of most Americans.

5. Critical issues affecting democracy and governance or system integrity. 

6. Anything else that a common sense person would feel is more important to Americans as a whole than any single group. 

7. Prominent figure in US leadership position individual safety and security (including health related aspects).

8. Whatever else remains.
