Money Versus Truth
By: Jane Craine
Republicans have never been fans of truth. They rely on fiction
and mythology. A good example is the silliness that pretends
that Ronald Reagan wasn't bonkers and that he was a great
president. Bunk! Reagan was delusionally senile. He should
have been institutionalized. He was a vicious third-rate
politician and almost as bad as a "B-movie" actor.
Such reality has no effect on the Republican political mythology. When you're bad, you invent a pretended history - Nixon was a patriot, Hoover was a decent man, George W. Bush was not a fiend - all lies. By contrast, Republicans are very big fans of money and big business. They'll gleefully sacrifice truth for a buck. To the Republicans big business is always a lot more important than the people or the interests of the people. Individuals don't matter much. It's all for the corporations and their profits. It's no surprise, then that the Republicans want all American media to be clones of FOX "News." That means Nazi in news! The Republicans have awarded news and the media to big business. The corporations will turn the media into advertising for their far right-wing political propaganda. It's worse than state television. It's corporate television. One sure effect of the Republican corporate media will be an outsourcing of news. Americans will have to go to other countries to get the truth. There will also be an explosion in blogs and other online news. That means that the Republicans in government will want to curtail free speech and online media. They'll try to make it illegal to get news from reliable sources in Europe and the Third World. Republicans are the enemies of the people. Republicans are enemies of the truth. Republicans are enemies of your money. Don't trust them. Don't believe them. Do all in your power to keep American media free, open and honest, not corporate.
