America's uprising against insiders and media ~ By Armstrong Williams

Armstrong Williams says press has 'totally lost touch with reality'

Make no mistake about it: This is the year of the outsider. Dr. Ben Carson and Donald Trump are not going away. Mainstream candidates will not be able to carry this election, despite the best efforts of their friends in the mainstream media. The people are in an uprising against the status quo, and the uprising won’t be stopped, muted or co-opted, as it has been in the past. People want something radically different. It is high time the mainstream media get used to it.

I know what Armstrong is saying, but I don't think that the Washington insider label applies to Senators Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio as much as it would to many of the current and former governors still seeking the GOP nomination for President. I have to believe that when the establishment candidates and media are bashing them, it shows Cruz and Rubio may be the true Conservatives we are looking for. It virtually proves it, actually. In that MSM joke they called a "debate," hosted by CNBC, both Cruz and Rubio managed to show the backbone to stand up to the Establishment media and politicians.

I should just say thank you to CNBC for doing the lousy job in hosting the latest GOP debate, which made it possible to see the qualities of the two GOP candidates they love to disparage and ignore. Just sayin'...

America's uprising against insiders and media

The latest Republican primary debate, moderated by CNBC, provided the clearest evidence yet of how disconnected the mainstream media have become in this country. The debate was full of petty provocations, irrelevant topics (should the government regulate fantasy football, really?!) and loaded "gotcha" interrogation-style questions that bared the media's consistently liberal bias and smug disregard for…

Video: The journalism in the Flight MH370 mystery is bazaar

While Bill O'Reilly and Bernie Goldberg are flipping out about the journalism in the coverage of the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370, they were forgetting that it took at least a week to determine that the missing flight went down in the South Indian Ocean, if that is actually what happened. And after all the various reporting by the mainstream media, the Black Hole Network (CNN), Fox News Channel, the New Media, and even citizen journalists, there's going to be a strong chance that there will still be plenty of doubt about any forthcoming official explanation.

When I watched this segment, the first thought I had was that O'Reilly and Goldberg had been reading my blogs. No, I never predicted what happened to Flight MH370, but I definitely nailed it on the media and public reaction to the mystery. The only thing that I ever predicted, which goes along with the theme of the bazaar journalism, was what I wrote on Tuesday, March 11, 2014:

New reports are still coming in, and in later posts, I'll be giving you updates. One thing you will probably never see me write, though, is "mystery solved." We many never find out for sure what happened, or we may never hear the truth about what happened.

It wasn't what O'Reilly said in this segment that irked me, it was the arrogant way that he says that he had it right for a week, and that any other journalists were only exploiting the story for their ratings. Yes, I will agree, there were news reporters and their guests that were way out there, but I think that most of us, We the People, are not We the Clueless like O'Reilly tries to make us seem to be.   Except for the low-info knuckledraggers that never follow the news, most of us are able to discern the stories that were informative from those of the conspiracy theorists. Well, usually...

I began following the story over two weeks ago, right here on johnny2k's Blogging in Our Time 2 Escape. Here is a timeline of the stories I've posted related to the Mystery of the Missing Flight MH370:

• Tuesday, March 11, 2014 ~ Malaysia Plane Hidden With Electronic Weaponry? 20 High-Tech EW Defense Passengers ~ By Deborah Dupre

• Thursday, March 13, 2014 ~ Malaysia says no plane debris found at site of Chinese satellite pictures…

• Monday, March 17, 2014 ~ VIDEO: Watch Out For the Trojan Horse, as in Flight MH370

• Tuesday, March 18, 2014 ~ VIDEO: You will learn more soon... Disinformation on steroids

• Thursday, March 20, 2014 ~ VIDEO: Be prepared for something big to come soon

• Sunday, March 23, 2014 ~ VIDEO: What Geraldo said should have been on the Black Hole Network?

• Monday, March 24, 2014 ~ Report: Investigators Now Looking for ‘Mystery Woman’ who Called Malaysia Airlines Pilot Before Takeoff

I have to agree with Geraldo Rivera when he said, "You have to cover all the bases." In an investigation, you have to evaluate all of the leads and clues, gather the evidence, and then possibly make conclusions. Now that they believe the missing Flight MH370 is in the South Indian Ocean, based on the clues, the next part of the case will be trying to determine how and why the plane flew those seven or eight hours to land in the drink.  Finding the aircraft, and possibly some remains of passengers, would do a lot to bring closure for the victims' families, but knowing the actual cause for sure may take years, if ever.  But, because of the "bazaar journalism," there will be plenty of people that will never believe any "official explanation." Just sayin'...

Obama team's media blackout ~ By David Limbaugh

I was so happy to be reading David Limbaugh's column a few minutes ago. It was like a breath of fresh air. I read it immediately after reading that toxic garbage written by Bill Press, and it really did help to neutralize all that acid that was building up in my stomach. It helped to clear my mind. It lifted my spirits.

David's explanation of why the handlers like Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod need to keep Obama close to the teleprompter, and on script, was excellent. There are a few points that David made that I am sure you will catch, and his highly intelligent analysis will explain the media "blackout."

He might as well have just directly said it: "I don't like the free flow of information in the new media, which tends to impede the advancement of my agenda, which depends on keeping the public in the dark."

That is exactly the philosophy of his appointed "diversity czar," Mark Lloyd, who idolizes Hugo Chavez and believes freedom of speech must be subordinated to the left's "greater" societal goals, and of his Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, who complained about the "overabundance" of ideas that might require government action to "un-skew."

Think about it: Without Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the New Media shining the light of truth daily, populist lies, such as that the Arizona law is racist and discriminatory, might go unchallenged.

The "most open and transparent" president in American history is still playing hide-and-seek with the press, and even the liberal New York Times has begun to notice it, as indicated by this headline: "Obama Turns His Back On the Press."

If the mainstream media were not so ideologically wedded to Obama's big-government agenda, they would be doing more than pointing out his secrecy and hypocrisy with the occasional headline. They'd be skewering him daily for his marked inaccessibility. Not having a genuine news conference since July would be remarkable for the least transparent administration, let alone one that made openness a signature campaign issue.

But not everyone in the leftist press is exercising such restraint about Obama's media blackout. CBS News' Chip Reid decided to ask Obama a question following his signing of the Freedom of the Press Act. Doing his best Hugo Chavez, Obama said, "I'm not doing a press conference today, but we'll be seeing you guys during the course of this week."

HotAirPundit posted a video of Reid explaining that he asked the question because the irony of Obama's signing the Freedom of the Press Act while rarely fielding questions "in impromptu situations" was "too rich to resist." Reid asked, "Mr. President, in the interest of press freedom, might you consider a couple of questions on BP?"

When Reid took Obama up on his noncommittal pledge and tried to ask him a question at the Rose Garden "news conference" with the president of Mexico a few days later, Obama ignored him.

This should surprise no one. A case could be made that Obama's never had a news conference that he hasn't largely controlled. He and his handlers, from David Axelrod to Rahm Emanuel, understand the importance of managing the press to control the message in the interest of advancing the leftist agenda.

They know that their statist goal of greatly expanding government depends on Obama's not revealing any more than necessary how radical to the core he actually is, because true transparency about his real agenda would be suicidal.

But his handlers also realize, even if Obama doesn't, that the less scripted he is the more difficult it is to manage the message. And they understand that he ought not be allowed to venture too far from the teleprompter very often, lest he demonstrate that his manufactured reputation both for eloquence and wisdom are, well, manufactured. Oh, yes, and don't let me forget those manufactured bipartisan myths, but surely no one is clueless enough to pay any attention to those anymore.
