“It’s all the same and it’s all meaningless.” If they cared
enough to have one, it would be the battle cry of the apathetic non-voter. These
are the people who are too lazy to differentiate between sides, too
intentionally ignorant to look at issues, and too stupid to understand that
their servile indifference equates to rabid support of this country’s problems.
They have help, of course, in the form of a mass media which
refuses to face facts and cannot resist allowing their biases and opinions to
molest straight news stories. The dichotomy between what people perceive and
what passes for news is so great that they believe neither.

Surprise! In “The Information Age” it’s harder to get facts
than it was sixty years ago. The pablum in the press is provided by people who
are no longer interested in truth and whose idea of morality extends to “their
side” winning the next election. Call it “situational morality” or the Left’s
mantra “the ends justify the means” but nihilism is winning the day. The denial
of great truths about the intrinsic value of life and liberty are common – in every
sense of the word.
The mainstream media kowtows to power, especially statist
and Leftist power, and can’t seem to ask straightforward questions that affect
our future. In the face of blatant lies that defy all logic, the press simply
smooths its skirts and looks vaguely embarrassed but can’t seem to remember why
it should feel shame or humiliation.
