THIS IS THE CRAP THAT PASSES FOR JOURNALISM

Below is an editorial in my local paper today. It will also appear in hundreds of newspapers across the country. After reading it, you will understand why the newspaper industry is dying. Editorials like this one aren’t suitable to line the bottom of a bird cage. The man writing this tripe proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you don’t need an IQ above 60 to get a job as a journalist today.

The MSM and the corporate fascist establishment they propagandize for are apopletic at the momentum Ron Paul is gaining across the country. Their attempts to ignore him failed miserably. Now the establishment mouthpiece puppets like Jay Ambrose are trotted out in an effort to ridicule, misinform and blatantly lie about Ron Paul’s positions. You see, Jay Ambrose is another Big Government pretend conservative that supports undeclared wars across the globe, continued money printing and debt accumulation, Wall Street psychopaths, and his prized military industrial complex. This lightweight faux journalist compares Ron Paul to Bugs Bunny. I wonder how Mr. Ambrose’s life stacks up to Dr. Paul’s:

•Married for 53 years to the same woman, and raising a family of upstanding children
•Served in the military when called (no deferments even though he was eligible)
•Outstanding physician that delivered over 4,000 babies into this world
•Capitalist who has started and run multiple businesses over his lifetime
•Has served is country in Congress for over 25 years, not once ever voting for deficit spending
•Has written multiple best selling books about liberty and freedom (I wonder how many best sellers Ambrose has written)
•Favors a strong military to protect our country. He understands the difference between interventionism and isolationism (Ambrose evidently was asleep during history class in high school)
•Understands the insidious nature of Federal Reserve created inflation in destroying the middle class. (Ambrose appears to be math challenged)
•Understands how the Federal government continues to strip us of our rights and liberties with Orwellian measures like the Patriot Act, NDAA, and SOPA. (Ambrose favors undeclared wars, government control over our lives, and more laws and regulations)
Ambrose scorns Ron Paul’s supporters as nothing more than young idealists. That is what frightens the Elite he represents. Ron Paul is overwhelmingly attracting Independents, people under 30 years old and people making less than $50,000. Sounds like a coalition of those who understand that the existing establishment (Republicans and Democrats) are corrupt and bought off by corporate and banking interests. The Elite realize that Ron Paul’s coalition could win. They will use any means necessary to crush him. This is where useful idiots like Jay Ambrose come into play.

After reading this insipid drivel you wonder what the requirements are for becoming a journalist for the MSM. It appears that a GED is not even necessary. When you get to the end of this hit piece, you realize the purpose. The GOP establishment is terrified of Ron Paul running as a 3rd party candidate and ruining their chances to defeat Obama in November. Ron Paul has tremendous power over the course of this election. His message of restoring America is reverberating across the land. The people are waking up from their stupor and realizing those in power are not looking out for them. I have some advice for the Elite: When you attempt to discredit Ron Paul you should trot out someone other than a 3rd string Daffy Duck like Jay Ambrose.
