Barack’s Chattel
A letter to the media.
You’ve become chattel.
There has been talk for years about how liberal leaning media have become less and less objective in their reporting, often going to the limits of journalistic integrity in order to manipulate opinion toward their beliefs. Whether it be faulty reporting about social issues, politics, junk science and the environment; there has been a definitive lack of ability to simply tell the story without editorializing.
As a matter of fact, editorializing has become the new journalism, especially with the advent of instant worldwide communication. At no other time can a lie be spread so quickly and so many people believe fabrications at such speed.
This aside, your very integrity (despite your beliefs) is so far removed from any definition of journalism that the Obama administration believes that you are its personal property. Since the word “chattel” is derived from “cattle” it makes sense to tag you with this moniker.
Stay in line. Eat your food. Come to the barn when called. Give birth to calves when I tell you to. Stand at the milking machine and wait until I’m finished. Don’t talk back, or you’ll be put on a truck headed for the processing plant.
Do you understand that in telling you to decry Fox News, Obama’s cronies (and therefore him) threatened you? Are you afraid or are you simply standing in line and waiting for your turn at the milking machine?
To stay with the whole bovine theme, we need more bulls out there. Someone not afraid to run the farmers around the field and stick their horns in soft places every once in a while. We need fewer cows that just stand and do as they are told.
