No News Is Good News
Most of us have
heard the saying ‘no news is good news’. That
must mean a lot of news is bad news and, indeed, it seems to be for President
Obama and the White House. Whether it is
the tragedy and mistruths of Benghazi or the targeting of Conservative TEA
Party and Patriot groups by the IRS, this current administration just can’t get
out of the news cycle with these scandals in spite of the mainstream media’s
blind eye and effort to turn no news into good news.
Many Liberals and
Democrats feel these issues are pure politics and red meat for the Republican
base kept alive by conservative media outlets like Fox news for the upcoming
election. They think the investigations
are a waste of time and taxpayer money.
Perhaps, but what if there were lies, cover-ups, and targeting? What if they want no news because there is
real news there that would embarrass them and make their heroes culpable? Wouldn’t you as an American want to know the
facts? I sure would. And, I would want to see accountability and
consequences if there were lies, cover-ups, and targeting.
America has risen
to a pinnacle in world history because of God’s blessing and our principled way
of life. When we move away from Biblical
and ethical principles that are the bedrock of our Constitution and exchange
them for compromise and deception, there will be consequences as demonstrated
by history. If the media gives a pass to our leaders in
favor of their desired narrative then we the people can easily be misled. If we give a pass to the media, whether it is
their commission or omission, we risk being deceived. Consumers beware!
If the news
generated by the media, good or bad, no longer matters in America, does America
matter? What difference does it make? We should not treat yellow press as if it is
true journalism. Let the facts come out
and let Americans make up their own minds.
Bullying, shaming, and deceiving folks to believe no news is good news
may be bad news.
