Catalyst of Nation Division powered by Media


I say so often that many refuse to admit that media plays a really big part in keeping this nation divided as all other factors reported on.  Media seeks division because it sells and when there are no blow-ups, media can be found to light a few fuses or their choice of those they interview. 

CNN choose Donald Rumsfeld to get his opinion about the Syrian airstrike.  Donald Rumsfield, are you kidding me?  Knowing that he would say something to get someone heated was a “no-brainer” and would continue to help sell their brand.  Major known newspaper now publishing an OPED authored by Russia President Putin as if what he has to say is in any way of the slightest importance to the American public.

And not let us forget how now the media seems to also be playing games with this administration, giving them something to complain about regardless of which decision or any decision he makes.  Case in point, the same journalist who complained that this president did not act fast enough regarding Syria is now saying he was moving too fast with this airstrike.  Case two is the same journalist who are whining about Obama’s red line now argues that any red line regarding how long to wait on diplomatic solution to Syria’s chemical weapons should not be in private but laid out in public.  I guess if it’s a private red line then they would not have something to cry about if it is crossed but a public one gives them a target to aim at.

Seriously people, when are we going to say enough and start pushing that the jobs bill to be fast-tracked instead of listening to this school-yard talk about who said what.  Journalist used to report stories by telling the public what happened and then present both sides of the argument.  Media is so divided now that only those with particular views can be seen on particular channels.  How sad is that?

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that...

The Truth about Malcolm X’s Murder Begins and Ends with Louis Farrakhan

What made Malcolm Little stand out from all those born during his era went far beyond intelligence to a point of realism.  History tells us that as a young child, he was subjected to his “Lansing Michigan home being burned to the ground” and the body of his father, Earl, being found “lying across the town’s trolley tracks”.  Both of these incidents were reported by the police as accidents even though there were evidence that the white supremacist organization Black Legion could have been behind this.  He was also subjected to his mother losing her mind, having to be institutionalized and all eight children, including himself” split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages”.   This education and the education of the streets allowed him the opportunity to reexamine his life and the direction it was going while he spent months and even years behind bars for the crimes he committed during his youth.  He finally decided to dedicate his life to a higher cal...

A Tree shall be Known by the Fruit that it Bears

  I find it quite humorous when I hear people claiming to be one thing or another.   Claiming to be a republican, a Democrat, or an Independent but the thing that seriously bothers me when people claim the title of Christian and yet act like a total hypocrite. Hypocrisy is defined as “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense” and if we are to be honest with ourselves and those around us, not one person can ever claim to not have claimed to be one thing while their actions depict something else.   I don’t think that any one mortal can ever claim that they have not fallen into this trip at least one time or another in their lives.   Because we are human, and accidents happen, it is okay to admit that we have faults and work to fix them instead of covering them up but of course many of us will go to our earthly graves pretending that this has not or currently happened to them. Hence the title of...
