Disappointed, but not surprised. \u00a0That is the emotion I experience as I watched the returns from elections all across the country. \u00a0Jon Stewart and the Daily Show got it right about who really won last night: Money<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve been wondering if there are still reporters in this country that have the character of Morrow and realized that is the wrong question. \u00a0Yes, there are reporters for print, TV and digital media that can investigate, report without passion, and not entertain. \u00a0The question is: are there outlets for this reporting that can garner the trust of those that watch MSNBC and Fox? Who is the Morrow or Cronkite in our context? \u00a0Answer, no one person or outlet. \u00a0That is both good and bad. \u00a0CNN mostly, or at least at one time, did straight reporting and then it had to compete and went Hollywood. \u00a0The four or so corporations that OWN the media outlets and newspapers in our Nation don’t profit from asking the hard questions unless it helps their stock price or their political party of the month. \u00a0Fear and Money won the day without RPG’s or sniper riffles. \u00a0This \u00a0is how the patriarchy keeps control and profits from it. \u00a0And this is somehow “good” for our Nation. \u00a0The Democrats bent to the fear of self preservation and lost rather than loudly proclaiming what they had done to benefit the common good. \u00a0They allowed themselves to be defined by what they are not rather than what they stood for.<\/p>\n

I guess we can safely trust the Federal government now that Republicans are in charge of 2\/3rds of it again. \u00a0This morning I ran across this article, A Minister from Thom Tillis’ State Tells Us What to Expect After the Election Results.<\/em><\/a> \u00a0It is worth 5 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
