The Demise of Objective Journalism

As a vast majority in the world of academia embrace and adhere to a progressive liberal ideology, professors in schools of journalism are pumping their bias into their - skulls full of mush - students, majoring in journalism. The graduates then obtain employment in an industry rife with publishers and editors who are more interested in sensationalism and stirring up angst than they are in truthful and accurate news reporting.
As a probative investigator always searching for truth, I am disgusted and dismayed at front page news stories that are sorely lacking in the who, what, where, when, why, how and with what, answers that should have been learned by any reporter properly trained in journalism. It has also become obvious that news organizations like the Associated Press, spin their reports to portray President Obama in a positive light.
It puzzles me as to why the majority in media adhere to and promote philosophies and ideologies that are repressive to freedom of speech, when they know full well that journalism in communist countries is censored by government. I can only believe the answer lies in America's education system which has been hijacked by communists and socialists.
An article on the front page of today's local newspaper, by AP reporters "Justin Pritchard, Tamara Lush and Holbrook Mohr" is offered as an example of news spin and severely lacking in probative investigation. The article is titled, "AP report: BP's response plan severely flawed." The article is obviously intended to stir anger and animosity toward British Petroleum, while keeping the heat and focus off the Obama administration. "BP lied to Feds in response plan," the article blares. Then in small print, it is explained, "BP's 2009 Regional Plan, approved by the federal government, vastly understated dangers and overstated the company's ability to respond to a spill." Hmm, I asked myself, if the federal government approved the plan, WHO IN GOVERNMENT FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB? You wouldn't suppose the fact that BP contributed a million $$ to the Obama election campaign, and fueled the coffers of numerous Senators and Congressmen, would cause government regulators to give BP a free pass. The federal government is mentioned only that single time in the article and the reader is supposed to accept the supposition that BP lied to government regulators, so government - because it is in the control of liberal Democrats - is pure and innocent.
Now let's suppose the oil rig explosion had occurred while Bush was President. There is no doubt in my mind that the headline on this same article would scream, "AP report: Bush's response to oil disaster severely flawed." The focus of the article would have been to point out how the fumbling, bumbling, incompetent Bush administration had not adequately responded to the oil spill because they were in the pocket of Big Oil. The sub-title would have screamed, "Bush lies! Feds failed to have adequate response plan in place!"
It is blatantly obvious that the Associated Press is a PR outlet for Obama and spins the news to keep the heat off of him.
While I am on a roll, I am compelled to express umbrage over another tiny article buried inside the paper appearing under the title: "Nation Briefly." The banner for the brief news item states, "Obama calls for limits on Israeli sea blockade." As the article is short, I will reference it in entirety. "President Barack Obama called on Wednesday for sharply limiting Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip in the wake of the botched Israeli naval raid that's straining U.S. and Israeli relations with allies around the world. The White House also announced a $400 million aid package for Gaza and the West Bank. 'The situation in Gaza is unsustainable,' Obama declared as he met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the Oval Office. He said the attention of the world is on the problem because of the "tragedy" of the Israeli raid that killed nine people trying to bring in supplies."
The article was obviously buried in the paper because the majority of Americans support Israel in their fight to survive. It is absolutely outrageous that Obama is providing $400 million to terrorists that hate the United States and want to destroy us. The only true statement by Obama was that the situation in Gaza is unsustainable. But it is unsustainable because the Islamics of Palestine and Gaza want the annihilation of Israel! The raid by Israeli on the flotilla to aid Islamic terrorists was not a tragedy, it was a planned operation by scumbags intent on enraging the Islamic World against Israel.
It is diabolical that America's President is bad mouthing one of our staunchest allies in the world and providing moral and financial aid to Islamic terrorists!
