TODAY'S NEWS OR NONSENSE ?

Last year three major news stories headlined on American TV, radio, newspapers, and Internet sites for weeks.

First, a jury delivered a guilty verdict for killer Jodi Arias. Next, more revelations about a Cleveland man named Castro and the atrocities committed against three young women in his neighborhood. Finally, live congressional testimony was delivered by the Benghazi whistle blowers; Hicks, Nordstrom, and Thompson.

The good news is justice may be delivered to a horrible Arizona murderess. Also, good news that the ongoing nightmare for three young Ohio women ended with their captor locked away in jail and soon dead by his own design. These two stories received breathless coverage on most television networks, many newspapers, and numerous Internet social media sites. The bad news, in my opinion,  is the scant coverage given the Benghazi whistle blowers. While initial television coverage came from Fox News, C Span, a few internet places and talker radio hosts, there was barely a whisper from most newspapers and the major A-B-C networks.

A few questions we need to ponder.

From an historic standpoint which of the three stories most effect the stability and future of the American brand ?  Are media businesses turning more to sensationalism and farther away from journalism ? Are executives in the news industry more interested in selling ads, and fulfilling an agenda of politically correct causes then objective news reporting ? Is the media too cozy and protective of our progressive president and his administration ?

Has the liberal media a template to protect Obama from criticism, punish anyone critical of him or democrats, and crown Hillary Clinton the next US President ?  Is today's federal government, as ruled by the left media and Obama regime, all about total control of the nation's direction ? Do they seek to destroy any dissent ?  Has our nation come under the control of poorly educated and informed voters manipulated and encouraged by liberal politicians and media moguls ?
