FOR THOUGHT: We now have enough subscribers to support TvNewsLIES.org
if every subscriber to this mailing list donated $1
per month!* If we doubled the size of our list it would
only take $0.50 per week. Being financed to this point would mean
that TvNewsLIES could pay for its
overhead and any money over this amount could go towards hiring
reporters and expanding the new radio program. It would also allow
TvNewsLIES could repay my original
investment so that I can do things like pay the rent and buy food!
Just something to think about.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck: In a Room Without a View*
I
have got to hand it to the folks over at FOX News. These
establishment cronies masquerading as journalists have convinced
America that journalism and reality itself are fair and balanced.
They have the American people believing that there is always two
sides to every issue and that every issue discussed in a public
forum must allow equal time and representation to both sides and
that countering bopinionsb merit equal consideration.
The
truth is that reality is rarely balanced. If it is raining outside
you can not report that it is not raining just for the sake of
being fair and balanced. Practicing bbalancedb
coverage of reality in essence distorts reality. This is
dangerous. It prevents the public from accurately assessing
important issues. It is like having one friend tell you not to
drink and drive. They tell you the very real facts about how
alcohol impairs your vision, affects your reflexes and is
responsible for the overwhelming majority of vehicular homicides.
Then, just to be balanced you listen to another persons who tells
you that it is OK to drive because you only had a few drinks and
you only live a few blocks away and so on and so on. Then they
cite statistics that show that driving fatalities are caused by
many things, not only alcohol and because they found a source for
this information that does not view deaths related to drinking and
driving as real bhomicidesb, the numbers look
different. That's balanced, but is it really the kind of balance
that we need in this world? Do we really need an opinion that is
clearly wrong and clearly dangerous just for the sake of having
balance?
Following
FOX News' pathetically unrealistic precedent the daytime talk
show called the View decided that they had to bbalanceb
the reality and common sense provided by Joy Behar Rosie O'Donnell
with the idiocy and blind establishment parroting of Elisabeth
Hasslebeck. Sometimes ignorance is dangerous. In the case of Ms.
Hasslebeck ignorance is not only dangerous, but it is painfully
embarrassing. I don't watch the program often, but I do tune in
from time to time , mostly to hear a rare sound byte of reality on
an establishment controlled broadcast. This reality usually comes
from Joy Behar or Rosie O'Donnell about issues like 9/11, the Bush
administration or Israel. On these rare occasions I have
witnessed the most embarrassing example of a typical American
citizen who is completely oblivious to the realities of the world;
Elisabeth Hasselbeck*.*
Personally I have not heard a single sentence uttered by this
Republican talking point TIVO machine that I could not personally
shred and expose as partial information, incomplete information,
out of context information or a fabricated misrepresentation of
known, officially acknowledged and in most cases undisputed
reality.
Now
before anyone thinks that I believe that the problem with Ms.
Hasslebeck stems from the fact that she utters Republican talking
points as opposed to uttering Democratic talking points...do some
homework. Research me. Read my writings. This is not about left
vs. right. This about a little fairy tales known as American
Democracy and the wonderful do no wrong history of the United
States of America. Folks, official undisputed history paints a
very different picture of the world than the establishment media
does. I expose media deception as my profession. I do it full
time. I can not explain this claim or back it up in one blog
entry. I can however offer to debate anybody on this issue, on TV,
with the establishment media big shots. So before anyone
bdiscredits' this article, or my opinion, keep in mind that
I would gladly be a guest on the View, 60 Minutes, FOX News, CNN,
etc, and I would gladly show the world how these media criminals
are the greatest threat to American freedom and democracy. In
essence I can show Americans that the media is our enemy. I don't
tell people this, I show people this. There is a difference. I
offer to back up everything I say, in person, on TV. Even on the
View.
Now
back to the view. Consider the definition of bbalanceb
in context to the meaning intended by FOX News or our current crop
of establishment media criminals: ba state of equilibrium or
parity characterized by cancellation of all forces by equal
opposing forces.b Taking that definition into account in
order to provide balance to brealityb, btruthb
or bfactsb you would need something radically bunrealb
or bbaseless.b Enter Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Here you
have the counter balance, if you will, to the legitimate fact base
information provided to viewers of the television program bThe
Viewb by Joy Behar and Rosie ObDonnell. What about
Barbara Walters you say? Well, Ms. Walters, just like a great
many so called journalists and media personalities, is a member of
the Council on Foreign Relations. Like the other members of the
media who are also part of this secretive organization, Ms.
Walters does not inform her viewers about her association with the
CFR and like the rest of the CFR members she is not allowed to
discuss what goes on at the CFR. Keep in mind that a journalist is
supposed to be a professional tattle tale. The Constitution
protects journalists (the only profession protected by the
Constitution) so that journalists can report back to the people
what their elected officials are doing. They are not suppose to
join secret organizations that are a very big, yet secretive part
of our government apparatus, and then not tell the people what
goes on. So to the question bwhat about Barbara Waltersb,
my answer is...I consider her the enemy. She probably knows much
more about what has taken place than she has reported to her
viewers and I am sure some of the things she has helped to keep
secret or to play an active role in deceiving the public about
would cause you to agree with my sentiments.
Reality
has never been as unbalanced as it is now when it comes to the
government of the United States. There is an endless list of
disturbing bFACTSb, make that alarming facts related
to the Bush administration when it comes to stolen elections, the
events of 9/11, lying to start wars, eroding our rights,
eliminating our freedom, human rights violations, weakening our
nation, obliterating world opinion of our nation, etc. (Again...I
offer to back up my claims on TV...but for now you can see the
hundreds of pages of documented evidence on the TvNewsLIES.org web
site.) We don't need balance. We need reality. We need to discuss
exactly what takes place in the world. We don't need opinion, we
need information. Providing us with this information is the
Constitutional obligation of the press. The media should be
informing us about what is happening, not exposing us to opinions
or counter opinions about what is happening. Joy & Rosie
provide us with information. Yes, I know that the information is
delivered in an emotional politically charged wrapping, but they
provide information none the less; a rarity for TV these days.
Elisabeth repeats government talking points. That is not what the
media is there for. The media is there to question government, not
provide it with free advertising.
So
I ask you this...do we really need Elisabeth
Hasselbeck bdistorting the Viewb just for the
sake of balance? Think about it! Jesse Richard b Editor,

bLeadershipb Story* - Rudy Giuliani's most
appealing quality with the right-wingers is the so-called "strong

Oh yeah: most of them are Black voters.
