Main-Stream Media. Fair and Balanced?

The First Amendment to our constitution provides for "Freedom of Speech" and "Freedom of the Press".

"The founders of the United States enacted the First Amendment to distinguish their new government from that of England, which had long censored the press and prosecuted persons who dared to criticize the British Crown. As Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart explained in a 1974 speech, the "primary purpose" of the First Amendment was "to create a fourth institution outside the government as an additional check on the three official branches" (the executive branch, the legislature and the judiciary). " (1)

Who or what is going to protect us from the press. The press (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS, Newsweek, US ...) have adopted a leftist agenda and slant ALL of their so called news to the left. From presidential elections to global warming all we hear reported as news is the views and opinions of the left. Never do we hear counter-points or other facts that discredit leftist views.

I am starting this blog to use my first amendment right to fight back against the liberal media and government officials that are leading this country to the slaughter-house.

I welcome comments, but please keep them clean and civil. Bomb-throwing isn't going to accomplish anything. If you want to make a claim or counter-claim please state your sources; if you want to be taken seriously you need to make statements of fact not statements of emotion.

I encourage all Americans to write their congress-people on a regular basis. Use this link to contact your elected officials.

I believe that ALL Americans are responsible for their individual success. Hard work and being a productive member of this great country is what made the United States the great country that it is today. Get an education, work hard, follow the rules, and believe in and trust God.

Thank You for your time.

God Bless

Rick
