Note: Please read comments as i stand corrected on some points here... ty
Political officials within the Republican national party have voted to block or "sideline" NBC and CNN from hosting any of the 2016 Presidential debates. They claim the stations show too much bias to the Democratic party. This just falls heavily in the lines of government filtering in our media. If the network doesn't go by the guidelines they specify the network will be shut out. There is a project currently under way for a documentary on former first lady Hilary Clinton who has been considering running in 2016 most likely in the Democratic party. This project has been commissioned by CNN. There is also a dramatic mini series under way about the U.S. Senator for NBC. Thing is if it were a mini series and documentary about one of their candidates they would be all over supporting the network. It sickens me that this is just another fact of life and the general public accepts the filtering of media coverage via this corrupt government. Networks will show bias it is just how things are and granted people can choose what network they watch. But I have a feeling that will not be the case in coming years. If they are able to block out the networks who do and don't carry the debates what will be next? Our government is no longer of the people by the people and definitely isn't FOR the people. It has become a government that shields itself from unwanted views and criticism. Yes each party has their own opinions they want to protect and keep intact......why not choose to stand up and continue to point them out rather than hide on only networks that support your opinions?? I post in many venues and I keep an open mind I take criticism without personal offense. I feel it is important to keep an open mind in order to learn and one can never learn too much.We all have our own values and opinions and at the moment we are still free to speak our minds and be whom we choose to be. But in my opinion a single party shutting out specific networks looks more like a situation of monopolizing the media outlets. In business monopolizing to a specific extent is on an edge of legalities, I would like to know why this does not apply to our governing bodies?? If it applies to us it should also apply to those employed by us in OUR government. The governing body as a whole should be in fear of the people not the people afraid of their government. I do not recall any laws or motions being put in asking the government nor any one party to filter what information we are to be "protected" from in order to keep a certain opinion intact. Call me stupid crazy whatever ....in my opinion the government has become rather symbolic of a private cult with a self proclaimed prophet standing on everyone's heads.
Factually, the RNC is not the federal government. It's just a committee that provides leadership for the Republican Party.
ReplyDeleteAnd as a committee it has every right to block said networks from their events. Especially when these networks are promoting a lying treacherous woman like Hillary Clinton. It's more bias liberal bullshit about a woman who belongs in prison, not in a miniseries for tv.
Im not saying i support her just annoyed at the filtering of what we are "allowed to see" so much is tucked away because it doesn't benefit a party or offends a party ....and lol Lori you know me better and btw i thank you for the correction as always i respect and appreciate all you teach me !!!!
