News Papers Out of Touch

Just a quick note on something that is a national disgrace, I've mentioned this many times, newspapers that shamelessly expose a biased agenda.

Case in point, the day before the Presidents speech and the day of the speech, the morning paper in Madison, Wisconsin, The Wisconsin State Journal, did not have a single reference to the speech. The only place that had any mention of it was in the TV guide section. Isn't a State of the Union speech the most important speech of the year?

And something else, this is the paper that is supposedly the paper that at least makes an attempt to be 'fair and balanced'. The other paper in Madison, The Capital Times, can be considered to be just a 'Marxist rag'. They make no effort to conceal their intent.

Here is one more little item that gets my goat just a little, unemployment has dropped to a four year low, 4.7%, and the only place that it is mentioned is on the last page of the financial section, at the bottom, in one short paragraph. This major good news for the country.

Also, one of the major indicators that predicts future health in the economy is the purchase of capital goods, that is machines and heavy equipment, was ahead of expectations. This, of course, wasn't mentioned at all - Why hold back good news? Biased just a little maybe?

Why is it that most everything that you read these days, in the news paper, are only items that fits someone's agenda, and not the truth - Aren't news papers supposed to be sources of information? What good are they if they aren't believable? Go figure!

Anyway - let's go watch the Super Bowel and enjoy the rest of the day.
