MSNBC Propaganda

MSNBC just posted an article titled, “Drugmakers Ready $150 Million for Obama Plan”. I’m chapped about a particular line in the article. “…given the drug industry’s recent history of siding with Republicans and the Democrats’ disdain for special interests.” What? “Democrats’ disdain for special interests.” That’s not just a lie–it’s propaganda. No reasonable person, Democrat or Replublican, would say their party has a disdain for special interests. Both parties are completely owned by special interests. Frankly, I’m not sure it’s a bad thing. Special interests are just a group of people who feel strongly about something and seek to support it. What’s wrong with that?

Nevertheless, “special interests” clearly has a negative connotation. Suggesting that common sense and working for the public good is hijacked for a particular group. It is a constant source of aggravation when journalists who portend to be unbiased, constantly puppet a particular party.

Journalism a necessary evil but it is evil. Journalists treat their occupation like it is a religion. They are fierce defenders that go beyond it being a job. They see it as a high and noble calling.

I’ve never been able to figure two things out. 1- Why does the work push people towards liberalism? 2- Why do they hold claim that they are unbiased when they so clearly promote the liberal way?

I guess it is a question for the ages.
