| WARNING: THIS SITE FEATURES ORIGINAL THINKING...Jim Croce once sang Don't tug on Superman's cape..., which seems like reasonable advice should we not wish to anger the supreme powers. We do have this duality in our culture: the Superman that is the state collective, the leftist call to a politics of meaning managed by the state, the deification of "we're from the government and we'll take care of you" - versus the Superman that celebrates individual freedom, private property, freedom of conscience, free enterprise, and limited government. We humbly take on the latter's mantle and, eschewing the feeble tug, we dare to PULL, in hope of seeing freedom's rescue from the encroaching nanny state. We invite you, dear reader, to come and pull as well... Additionally, if you assume that means that we are unflinching, unquestioning GOP zombies, that would be incorrect. We reject statism in any form and call on individuals in our country to return to the original, classical liberalism of our founders. (We're also passionate about art, photography, cooking, technology, Judeo/Christian values, and satire as unique, individual pursuits of happiness to celebrate.) |
Superman's product of the century (so far):
Why did CBS pitch forged documents to the public? Was it because they ‘wanted it to be true’? Was it their ‘incompetence’? Was it that they just rushed the story without following proper procedure?
It may, in some part, be many of these things.
But, if you’ve taken your little red pill today, you are ready for the truth. Here it is: CBS did it because they have done it for so long and we have allowed them to do it for so long that it was just standard practice. The fundamental mistake they made was producing something that could be analyzed mathematically – purely black and white – because, for the most part, they leave spin room for everything else.
To make a finer point of it - acts of commission are a little bit more difficult to pull off than acts of omission. Perhaps they can no longer tell the difference. There are so many stories and so much reality that they either quickly debunk and never revisit or simply never report at all. Powerline asks 'How Many Frauds?'. Check out Media Research's 20 Year history of Dan Rather.
So let's not laugh at what CBS did too much. Let's get real - it is time to question everything and it's time to bring what is omitted to the light of day. That means every MSM story every day - and it means opening up the past and exposing what has already happened. Let's roll.
