Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights?

by Orson Scott Card - October 22nd, 2008 - The Rhinoceros Times

These are facts. This financial crisis was completely preventable. The party that blocked any attempt to prevent it was ... the Democratic Party. The party that tried to prevent it was ... the Republican Party.

Yet when Nancy Pelosi accused the Bush administration and Republican deregulation of causing the crisis, you in the press did not hold her to account for her lie. Instead, you criticized Republicans who took offense at this lie and refused to vote for the bailout!

What is scariest about this is the result. Obama and the Democrats who caused the crisis are being rewarded by increased support due to the contemptible efforts of the Main Stream Media to blame Republicans for this Democrat caused crisis.

The only person with the megaphone that could have changed this outcome was our President, but he has repeatedly proved he does not have a clue how to communicate.

This is a great article that sums up the economic crisis in rational fashion, and lays the blame where it belongs, on a corrupt news media that is so blatantly socialist that it can do nothing except pander to the socialist goals of Barack Obama and the socialist party, called Democrats.
